D&D 5E Xanathar hint from Crawford?

More info from Jeremy (and I'll do better this time and include the quote):

"Four of SCAG's most popular subclasses appear in XGE. They're a good fit for the game as a whole, not just FR."

Hmmm... Let the speculation begin!

I imagine Swashbuckler is an almost 100% guarantee.

Battlerager and Bladesinger are likely too FR-centric to to be in (especially as the other choices tend to be far less setting-specific)

Other than those, most of the rest are pretty even. My guess would be Storm Sorcerer and Arcana Domain Cleric, but beyond that I really can't choose...

The bladesinger originated as setting neutral in the 2e Complete Book of Elves.

I am looking forward more and more to this book!

 

[Seramus]

I am so excited for Xanathar's Guide!
I can't wait to open it.
Read it.
Play through some of the options.
And then return to the base PHB.

Then all your players give you puppydog eyes.

Purple Dragon Knight, Sun Soul, Long Death are FR specific.

That leaves Swashbuckler, Mastermind, Undying, Oath of the Crown, Storm, Arcana to pick from, does anyone know which four were most popular (Swashbuckler I already know).

Thought this was interesting:

Suggests perhaps they are collecting some things together for each class?

You link to this tweet:

"Don't tell anyone, but this error has already been corrected in Xanathar's Guide to Everything."

This ONLY means that the reprinted Swashbuckler (from SCAG) has errata incorporated.

There is nothing in Crawford's tweet that suggests they print errata to classes not featured in XGE.

Let me assure you the speculation has already begun.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to link to the (months-old) thread discussing the to-be reprinted SCAG material.

They could also give the PDK a more generic name to encourage use in other settings.

You mean like "banneret", that's already mentioned in SCAG as the name a non-FR PDK would use?

Exactly. An alternate name prominently displayed, and not so hidden in the text you assume I didn't know of it.
