"Regarding other wizard subclasses, we can share that neither of the wizard subclasses we’ve presented in Unearthed Arcana recently—Onomancy and Psionics— will be moving forward in our development process, since they didn’t appeal to enough people and we can explore those subclasses’ themes in other ways."

C'mon Truenamer class.
Papa wants to enslave some fiends with no contracts.

My guess is that they'll turn Onomancy into a Bard subclass. They did say that they'll be explored in other subclasses.

With your predictions being all about Manual of the Planes based, I'm honestly gonna laugh if that isn't the case.

I'll kick myself if the Xanathar's 2.0 book isn't even Planescape themed.

I think it will be planar, but won’t specifically be a Planescape book. I am still betting on a named character guide to the planes, using one of the most well know MtG planes walkers.

Discussing this on the EN5ider discord and one of our frequent authors has collected a catalog that makes browsing Unearthed Arcana's library way easier. Thought it might do to share it in here --> Unearthed Arcana

The way they are doing Bard lore, it could work.
However it's a lame use of Truenaming if it is the only one subclass.

I could also see a Truenaming Ranger as rangers with grudges against an enemy type might learn the truenames of their favored enemies.

That could work, too, in my mind. I think that the Bard fits better, with what they're doing with the Eloquence and Creation bards, but Ranger or Blood Hunter also makes sense.

Leomund's Libram of Legendary Lands and Huts

Leomund's Libram of Legendary Lands would be an awesome title. It would even be a great title for a combination Manual of the Planes/Planescape.

We are clearly in cleanup right now, which is nice. The Handy Grey Box in the beginning of the document is implying you should hold class balance and multiclass related feedback, but that requires people to read the box and comply so we will see how well that goes.

Considering they have been saying since the very first UA that nothing in them has been balanced yet for multi-class play, I would hope the regulars who give feedback would not still be that dense.......or stubborn. lol
