My changes would be limited because that's part of the point.Artificers: the Artificer is now core as are all the existing classes. The Alchemist is the default option - and gets tuned up.Barbarian: The berserker (of course) needs a tune-up. For the semi-mundane classes (barbarian, fighter, rogue, probably monk and possibly even paladin and ranger) give a second subclass at level 12 to define just how you can hang at that level.Bard: Minimal changes here - other than protecting Ranger/Paladin class features from their spell stealing abilities. I don't trust the skills to make a complete rework class.Cleric: Do we have to? But War domain needs boosting - and nature and trickery need tuning up thematically.Druid: Punt the Druid of the Land for the Druid of Spores. Far more evocative and, most importantly, gives you an option that doesn't require you to actually carry a stack of spare character sheets with you. Possibly rework the Moon Druid with stock forms.Fighter: Replace the Champion's mechanics with the Samurai's - and add a bit more out of combat potential. Cut about half the battlemaster maneuvers and add the Tasha's skill ones. Add a Warlord fighting style that gives away your attacks - and an Inspiring Word battlemaster maneuver that lets an ally spend a hit dice for their hit dice plus your superiority dice hit points. Give a second subclass that you get at level 12.Monk: Tune up the flabby levels 7-10. Rework Four Elements.Paladin: If it ain't broke... Maybe a second subclass at level 12.Ranger: Tasha's rules. Bonus spells known for the Hunter.Rogue: Second subclass. The assassin level 7 needs a huge buff - as does most of the rest of the assassin and thief.Sorcerer: Dump the wild sorcerer for a reworked storm sorcerer that knows as many spells as the Tasha's subclasses. (Far simpler concept). Buff the dragon sorcerer so it can actually hang in the front lines.Warlock: Pact of the Blade should (a) allow medium armour and (b) allow Charisma to be used to wield it. Put Pact of the Talisman in there - it's quick. Throw out all the invocations that let you cast a spell 1/day at the cost of a slot (or let you cast it 1/day for free and add it to your spells known). Tune up both Archfey and GOO. Also let warlocks upcast into their high level slots.Wizard: Transmuter needs a tune-up. Necromancer gets split into Necromancer (unchanged) and Nethermancer (the rest of the Necromancy school rather than about three spells total).Feats: Sharpshooters powerful shot can't be used with one handed crossbows. Ditch half the feats - but add crusher, cutter, piercer, telekinetic, and Eldritch Adept (the Warlock invocations thing).Spells: Add Greenflame and Booming Blade. Tasha's style summonings.If going wilder:Two weapon fighting: Needs a reworkFighter: All fighters get superiority diceMonk: Needs to be more focused.Paladin: Give Paladins warlock-style casting (but at half speed) and Devotions as the equivalent to Invocations, making them much more customisableBard: Rework with an entirely distinct magic system that also uses their allies for extra effects.</blockquote>
