D&D 5E SCAG Subclasses: Which do you like?

[gyor]

Swashbuckler was confirmed on Twitter
Reprinting the Bladesinger would help compensate for wizards only getting the one new arcane tradition
Undying Warlock would allow them to give it eldritch invocation support
Oath of the Crown / Storm Sorcerer are probably competing for the last slot

I feel arcana domain cleric is very tied in with Mystara being a thing in FR, but eh.

I'd say Bladesingers were a sure thing, if the race prequiste wasn't a thing.

I don't see that as being an issue.

Bladesingers being race restricted shouldn't be an issue, their flavour is elven not Forgotten Realms and they would make a good addition to many campaign settings.

Mastermind did worse then I expected.

The ones leading are Swashbuckler, Bladesinger, Arcana Domain, Sun Soul, Storm Origin.

Sun Soul is FR Specific, so it's out, so I think the ones that will be added to XGTE will be Bladesinger, Swashbuckler, Arcana Domain, and Storm Origin. If ones of those don't make it, I believe Oath of the Crown will be in.

I originally thought Bladesinger would be a no go because of the racial prerequisite, but it's massive popularity makes up for it.

I feel bad for the Purple Dragon Knight, I still like it.

What's funny is just how many of the subclasses in SCAG are straight power creep. Bladesinger, Long Death, Swashbuckler - they are all more powerful versions of the class than any other.

I don't think any of those represent power creep.

Well, the Bladesinger was at least versatility creep. Goes an incredibly long way towards shoring up the wizard's weaknesses if used defensively and only in emergency situation while acting like a normal wizard the remainder of the time.

Verstility creep, not just power creep is a thing now?

When did I ever say anything about power creep?

I was simply noticing the New terminology and comparing it to the old terminology, not making an accusation.
