D&D 5E Xanathar's Guide to Everything: What subclasses made the cut?

[Enevhar Aldarion]

So, 4 classes get three?

Someone in the conversation there asked that too, but Crawford has yet to reply again. But others there pointed out that it does not have to be a balanced distribution.

But regardless, all 27 will get video reveals before the book is released.

Well, sure: 26 divided 11 ways could go several ways. Some class might get four, or more: Sorcerer, perhaps.

So what we have so far, confirmed, is

Bard - College of Glamour +1
Barbarian - two unconfirmed
Cleric - Forge Domain +1
Druid - Circle of Dreams +1
Fighter - Cavalier, Samurai, Arcane Archer
Monk - two unconfirmed
Paladin - two unconfirmed
Ranger - Horizon Walker +1
Rogue - Inquisitive +1
Sorcerer - Shadow and Divine
Warlock - Celestial + 1
Wizard - one unconfirmed


That is 24 spots, leaving us with only 3 left to place.

Also, highly likely that the Warlock hexblade and Rogue Scout made it in

Bard, Druid, and Ranger have only 2 published options prior to this so I'd say they are more likely to get them, they took how many specs existed into account for Wizard. They didn't really care about Cleric already having nearly as many as wizard though so they aren't paying that much attention to it.

Might not be Ranger though since we are getting a pile of redone content for them and Deep stalker has been packaged with revised ranger a bunch.

could be Sorcerer since they tested way more concepts for them than the others, Sorc still has lower than average number of specs.

Confirmed today on Twitter by Crawford that there will be exactly 27 sub-classes and every class will get at least two, except for the wizard, who only gets one:

My guess was 28 so I was pretty close in my guess, 1 off.

My guess is Barbarian gets 1 extra, subclass, the Sorceror gets 1, and the Ranger gets 1.

So that would be the Zealot, Storm Herald, and Ancestoral Defender for Barbarian.

For Ranger that is Primordial Guardian, Deep Stalker, and Horizon Walker (this is the one I feel most certain of).

The Sorceror I'm not sure which made it as a third.

If I'm wrong about any of my guesses it will likely be the Cleric or the Bard.

Sounds about right.

The Redemption Paladin has been confirmed from Hascon. Supposedly, the Conquest Paladin and Drunken Master Monk were also there.

Ranger Monster Slayer just dropped

That means most likely Primordial Guardian or Deepstalker is out. Which I don't know.
