[QUOTE="Gadget, post: 7414180, member: 23716"] As I recall, Warlocks, Sorcerers (other than the experimental version mentioned by others that was briefly tried), Rangers, Bards, Paladins, & (not sure) Barbarians were never in the public play test. Which is sad, because most of those classes could have benefited tremendously from more playtesting, though I understand that they didn't want to put all their cards on the table for free. Also, I don't think the public play test was used for fine tuning things as much as getting feed back on an over all direction and feel. Some things were intentionally not balance well or at least needed much more refinement. I remember being quite surprised by some of these classes when 5e was released, and I kept up with most of the play test materials and conversations about it here at enworld. **EDIT** A few of the classes I named above may have made limited or brief appearances in the play test packets, but--like the sorcerer--they either were not iterated on or left off future packets and did not have much of their final incarnation in the release of 5e.
