D&D (2024) What New Classes Should Be Added One D&D PHB?

[Henadic Theologian]

Artificer is obvious. I'd like a Divine Spellcasting Summoner Class, Psion, and Swordmage.

 

[Cold Iron Bound]

I expect to see the artificer, would like to see the psion, and if they'd include any class I wanted, I'd pick the diabolist.

 

[Scribe]

Psion, and Gish.

Oh, and just add the Warlord or 'Support Martial that doesnt do as much Damage' as long as the "I shout you back to life" is just Temp HP.

I only think the Artificer will be in it (but we don't know yet), and I think the Eldritch Knight should be removed and expanded into a Swordmage/Arcane Gish class. The Arcane Archer, Bladesinger, Swordmage, Duskblade, and other similar concepts can be its subclasses.

A Psion, preferably not using Spellcasting, but that's not going to happen. I'd be fine if it were a spellcaster that used Spell Points and had subclasses focusing on Telepathy, Telekinesis, Mind Control, and other aspects of D&D Psionics. I'd be fine with Warlord being a subclass if they made it actually good.

And, if possible, another shot at the Blood Hunter (made official) would be cool. But I extremely doubt that's on the table.

Artificer. Just promote it to the PHB already.

Psion. As long as the DMG still has a spell point option, then, fine, make it based on slots (and then we can sub in the spell point system ourselves). Make the subclasses based on the disciplines so we have nomads, shapers, telepaths, seers, egoists, etc.

 

[Charlaquin]

Artificer. Psion. Warlord. I’d also be up for an arcane half-caster.

Oh, wow, I came into the thread to say exactly all of this.

Given the extent of the testing they are doing, if they are ever going to do a Psion or a stab at Blood Hunter, now would be the time.

 

[EzekielRaiden]

Should be? Artificer, unquestionably. It already exists as part of the game, that would just be a formality.

I, personally, also count Warlord in that space. It may be a decade late, but finally giving even that one small olive branch to 4e fans would do a lot of good. It would help mend the one major schism in the (old) fanbase that was intentionally ignored or even widened by the original developers.

Oh, and just add the Warlord or 'Support Martial that doesnt do as much Damage' as long as the "I shout you back to life" is just Temp HP.

This will never actually work for implementing a Warlord, and would be a slap in the face for Warlord fans.

Besides, even Mike Mearls, the guy who literally cracked jokes about "shouting hands back on" as a reason to not include a Warlord class, explicitly said that martial healing was fine as far as the devs were concerned, and that if DMs did not like that, they were free to not let players play that in their games.

Add:

• Psion
• Warlord
• Artificer
• Swordmage (melee range fullcaster)

Blood Hunter would be cool, a very bold choice.
