Message: <blockquote data-quote="GarrettKP" data-source="post: 7210001" data-attributes="member: 6811472">Swashbuckler, Arcane Cleric, Storm Sorcerer and Undying Warlock are the most likely choices for Reprinting in Xanathar's. Swashbuckler is by far the most popular archetype in SCAG based on my experience, followed closely by Storm Sorcerer. Arcane Cleric and Undying Warlock make the most sense because the primary reason for the reprints is to help with the PHB+1 rule and Spells (Supposedly both the Elemental Evil Spells and new Spells) are a big part of Xanathar's. So putting in the Arcane style casters makes the most logical sense. Battlerager, Purple Dragon Knight, Sun Soul Monk, Long Death Monk, and Bladesinger are all heavily FR specific and are unlikely to make it in (even the PDK, which can be setting neutral as a Banneret, isn't likely as it was not well received by most).As far as Sorcerer goes, we have 5 options for new Sorcerer Origins: Shadow, Favored Soul, Phoenix, Sea, Stone. Interestingly enough, if you add in Storm, you have the 4 elements and 2 energies that make up the material plane according to D&D Cosmetology (Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Positive Energy and Negative Energy).So I wonder if they will bite the bullet and put all 6 in this book to round out the Sorcerer. That would give the Sorcerer 8 Subclasses easily accessible for PHB+1, with the Wizard getting a max of 9 with the +1 (The 8 in the PHB and 1 from either the SCAG or XGtE) and the Warlock getting between 5-7 depending on how many of their options get added in Xanathar's. Puts the Sorcerer on equal footing in terms of build options at the very least.</blockquote>
