Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana:Are they revealing limitations in the 5th edition system?

[MoonSong]

They took a week off, which is fine since they have been doing weekly; Mondays, they announced on Twitter nothing this week. Sorcerer is up this coming Monday.

Ohhh, that.

Do you have a link? I'd love to see the exact words.

 

[Parmandur]

Ohhh, that.

Hard to post links from the phone, but all they said was "no UA on the 23rd, back on the 30th". Smart money is o. Sorcerer subclasses, and probably quite a few.

What is the twitter handle used? (Or; who did the tweeting?) Should allow us to find it ourselves.

It can found at http://www.sageadvice.eu/page/11/ or https://twitter.com/Wizards_DnD/status/822537176529432577?ref_src=twsrc^tfw. I have to warn you that the sage advice page changes fairly quickly, so it might be on page 12 or 13 by lunchtime.

I'm not quoting several people so here is a list of what I would like UA to cover.

1: Racial/Class specific feats.

2: Battlemaster Maneuvers.

3: New Monster special attacks.

4: Wizards of High Sorcery: (Moon Phase Mechanics) ( I'm a Dragonlance fan).

5: More mounted combat.

6: More underwater combat.

7: More aerial combat.

8: More/Alternate uses for Channel Divinity.

9: Alternate armour rules. (Example would be DR).

10: They are game designers. How about something we've not seen before?

11: Will post more when I remember them.

12. Warlord full class.









I trust no one else used '12?'
Wouldn't want the un-lucky 13.

Just the main D&D account.

SCAG has Warlord three ways (Fighter, Paladin and Rogue), doubt we will see a full class for the concept.

No reason we can't have a warlord class and warlord-y subclasses for other classes. There are wizards who stab things and fighters who cast spells.

I would be most interested in a warlord-y mystic subclass (to me my X-men). I would be good with a warlord class as long as there was a 1/3 caster subclass that primarily used wizard divination and enchantment spells (good enough for the fighter and the rogue....).

Ardent?

Nod. This is 5e, afterall. There's always more than one way to get to a concept. Sure, you /could/ 'just' MC, but lets have an EK and Bladesinger and AT (and Mage-Commander? Spiral Tactician?) as well.

Minimizing base classes has been a design goal from word "Go" with this edition: given that a healer isn't even needed for a balanced party, the mechanical niche isn't all that open, and the story niche is fairly small...given that we already gave subclasses that fill both, don't see a strong reason they would go beyond subclass for the concept...
