D&D (2024) NEXT UA Speculation Thread (For ~June 28th)

[Vaalingrade]

Agree and bosses and solos will need something to evade at least one instance of the many things that can now impose conditions on them. Probably something on a recharge. Or maybe something that kicks off on bloodied.

So they'll probably get an upgrade to Metagame Cheat -- I mean Legendary Resistance.

 

[Kobold Avenger]

I'm sure it's the Monk next, plus revised Druid. And then maybe a couple of the classes that are good but need some work, along with a couple non-standard subclasses.

 

[Snarf Zagyg]

Well, my two favorite classes (in terms of interesting mechanics) are the Warlock (caster) and Monk (martial).

They just screwed up my Warlock this month.

So I s'pose they are going to screw up the Monk next.


I kid, but only kind of. The reason I love those two classes is because they are different mechanically. Given the homogenization that they've already imposed upon the Warlock, I shudder to see what they're going to do with the Monk.

Speculating about the next playtest reminds me that we'll have to do the survey for this playtest. I'm dreading that so much, because it's probably going to take the better part of a day to complete it all. Just thinking about hitting the radio buttons for each measly, little option like the Fighter's feats at various levels is mind-numbingly boring.

I am planning on annotating the pdf with my responses for the Survey.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Yeah, this round of feedback is not going to be fun. Anyone want to draft a response to the Warlock that we can just cut-n-paste into the appropriate field? (I'm mostly kidding).

Dear Esteemed Gentlemen of the Wizards of the Coast One Dungeons and Dragons Playtesting Development Group,

Regarding your recent offering of the Warlock caste and the changed therein, tt is with utmost respect and a heavy heart that I have been moved to contact you forthwith at your earliest convenience to put for the following emphatic request:

PLZ NO.

 

[Gladius Legis]

Monk + revised Experts. The revised Experts may each have an additional subclass, as well.

Also since we know some of the Expert classes are getting weapon mastery, some (very much needed) changes to that system may show up.

 

[Parmandur]

Heck, we might see the full suite of proposed Subclasses for an entire group.

 

[The Shadow]

Dunno about that. They're going to want to keep some surprises for the actual books. Hopefully pleasant ones!
