D&D 5E Speculation on the Remaining UAs in 2017

[SkidAce]

Different thought, to my original "they continue as they have been through the classes and then move on to [non-FR] setting-specific materials each UA" hypothesis...

Not overly likely to happen, but might be fun, if they took a break from just going through the classes and, still only having subclass options in the UAs, make each one a setting-specific...or do a set class (what's up next, Rogue?) with different subclass takes from a few different settings.

So, for example, the Rogue UA subclasses could be: 1) something broad usable in any setting, 2) Eberron Artificer, 3) Greyhawk Acrobat [based off Gord the Rogue].

Leave it to the individual tables if those setting specific types are usable in a given game or not. But it would make for a nice mix (and introductions) of setting material and different ways to view classes within a setting we may not have seen/thought of before -like considering Artificers as a type of Rogue, or as we've already seen, using sorcerer to get to a Favored Soul, etc...

They should do this.

For the Wizard, I'd like to see a proper Generalist. One who excels at magic in general. Maybe he can be the Metamagic Wizard, able to slightly bend spells to his will a little more easily. Regain back an additional spell slot on top of the Wizards normal recovery. I love all the wizard school specialists currently done, just want to see some variety of generalist.

Also, not sure if a Spellfire caster, Wizard, Warlock, Sorcerer, or just feats would work, but since it's Forgotten Realms, this should somehow be an option.
You can probably already do it with various options already, with a really tight focus, just haven't thought about it before now... hmm.

Sorcerer. A generic-y "arcane" or "comic" sorcerer whose focus is on spellcasting, perhaps a retry on Favored soul, and some new monster bloodline (hag?)

Warlock. Shadow or Elemental Pact

Wizard. No idea. Elementalist? Runecaster/geometer?

Sorcerer bloodlines: raksasha, good aligned outsider type maybe.
I like the warlock ideas you have. An elemental lord of some kind would be neat.
Wizard: needs a summoner type of thing. Abilities that improve the powers of summoned creatures in the way the necromancer makes undead minions better.

Today should be the Ranger given the format so far that all of the classes have so far come in alphabetical order.

Well it looks like they broke the format, the UA article is the Artificer...

So it's probably next week for the Ranger now.
