"In this new Unearthed Arcana for the One D&D rules system, we explore material designed for the next version of the Player’s Handbook. This playtest document presents the rules on the Cleric class, it's Life Domain subclass, as well as revised Species rules for the Ardling, the Dragonborn, and the Goliath. You will also find a current glossary of new or revised meanings for game terms."


WotC's Jeremey Crawford discusses the playtest document in the video below.

Quick Thoughts

  • "Species" I sure hope doesnt go live, there has to be a better word.
  • Goliaths, love it.
  • Ardling falls so flat for me, just complete apathy.
  • Dragonborn, better, sad we dont see Gem in there, but I get it I guess, Fizbans still needs to be sold.
  • Cleric, gotta look at it and I was in meetings. :D

It seems all classes are moving to the same levels to give subclass features. It is not something I agree (unnecessary symmetry), but it does not bother me either.
 






So if they're going to move all classes so that archetypes give abilities at the same levels does that also open the possibility to allow cross class archetype dipping? Maybe a feat allows you to count your main class as a Cleric (as an example) for the purposes of archetype benefits?

I feel that may add a lot of layers of complexity, but it would give some interesting options.

Wow, on first read thru, vastly better than what we saw in Packet 2. Cleric is great, guidance is great, the new species are great (even if the name is terrible).

Still don't like inspiration on a nat1, but I'm getting used to it.

Much better implementation of the Search, Study and Influence actions. Getting more on board with this approach.

Not just that, but opens up prestige sub-classes.

Like if they just did grappler as a prestige sub-class. Then you could have grappler wizard, grappler bard, grappler warlock...

Cleric looks mostly good. Definitely stuff in there I can steal.
