Sorcerers, and without further delay. Delays there have already been, aplenty. But this space still feels weird with only one two lines. Barbarian | Fighter | Sorcerer Sorcerer The Sorcerer’s narrative section hasn’t changed. You’re bursting with magic, and reasons vary (including an inciting incident where you discover your powers). There are substantial mechanical changes. Innate Sorcery is a new level 1 feature that is a single-encounter power-up mode. As a Bonus Action, you gain +1 spell save DC and […]

So, you know, life. Anyway, last time I covered everything up to the Fighter class and Champion subclass, and that brings us to the Sorcerer. It will be absolutely necessary to examine the new Sorcerer-only spells in the first part to get a sense of what this class even means; likewise for the Warlock […]

I was obligated to write this!) to bring you the latest breakdown from Arcadia. This one is quite different from the past ones in a few ways I’ll be detailing. The constant within this and the previous ones is that you won’t want to miss this issue either! As James indicates in his letter from the editor, September’s issue is […]

Anyway, this time I’ll be looking at sorcerers and warlocks; they’re a particularly exciting set in this book because they represent a pivot in WotC’s approach to those classes. I can’t state this strongly enough: if you’re working in freelance subclass design, you need to be studying what’s going on here on a bunch of levels.

Sorcerers are those rare individuals who are naturally connected to the magical energies found in the universe. They only need to learn to harness their connection to unlock powerful abilities. A sorcerer with this origin uses cards to channel their innate magic and draw on magical energies of the world. Design […]

Unlike a lot of UA documents, this one spends about a page discussing the winding path of psionic/mystic development in UA to date, including the official deprecation of some prior UAs – the Psionics wizard and several psionic attack spells. My only issue is that I like Int as the psionic casting stat more than Cha. (Apropos, I am glad that we have the artificer as […]

Gets… A New. Subclass. In the second part of the deviously-named “Subclasses” series of UA drops, we get a bardic college, a cleric domain, and a sorcerous origin. For those of you keeping score at home, seven of the thirteen classes have gotten a new subclass in this run, to say nothing of the many, many subclasses of the past few months. Personally I’m hoping to see what’s new in feat design soon. EDIT (2/4/2020, […]
