[QUOTE="The Myopic Sniper, post: 9042714, member: 55013"] One of the issues with getting Wizard subclasses past the 70-80 percent acceptance hurdle for Unearthed Arcana is that a lot of people felt that any new subclass broke the symmetry by not being based on one of the spell schools. After "School of Evication," "School of Illusion" and "School of Necromancy" it was kind of hard to get something like "Mushroom Mage" to fit in that scheme. I expect at least one of the subclasses to be based on something other than a spell school so they can kind of reset expectations on what a Wizard subclass looks like. It is probably going to be something like a War Mage or Bladesinger to try to hit that trope in the core. I think they will probably avoid "Necromancer" to stay away from darker themes in the PHB and avoid having to deal with having to deal with another round of arguing over the template issue and summoning balance now and kick that can down the road. Now would probably be the best time to deal with it from my point of view though. [/QUOTE]
