BG3 really made me more interested in Psychic abilities.
Dude, the only fighter subclass that I think deserved more than Psi Warrior [as a subclass with actual diminished potential and that could use a update] is the the Arcane Archer. So, that's a win
Arcane archers are sweet but I think they left it out because it only really works for archers. the other 3 subclasses in the PHB work with any weapon
The arcane archer deserves a lot of improvements, so I wouldn't want them throwing it in with no playtest
Wait, so we actually play an accurate Githzerai.
I was really hoping for a psionic base class. But at least we get 4 psionic subclasses, so that’s a win! 😃👍🏻
What's the third one?
@@mslabo102s2 Psionic sorcerer & great old one warlock.
Well the psionic subclasses are taken from their most recent attempt at a psionic base class. Soul knife was originally a subclass from the mystic class that they had as UA a few years back.
Pulling the brawler instead of fixing it is going to disappoint so many people.
One way or another, there will be let downs. Brawler is a good ideia that can easily come back in future books. Psi Warrior (and other alike) rarely can get their revival.
Think it just came down to time crunch, brawler probably needed a bit more work and the book needed to go to print...
Yeah. It will be disappointing.
...grabs Tavern Brawler.
To be fair though, Brawler wasn't in the best place due to the weirdness of Unarmed Attacks and not getting Weapon Mastery with them, the same issue Monk faced in their first Playtest iteration, so it definitely ended up in a weird place with how it was designed, and it had a similar issue to the College of Dance Bard with being similar to Monk but not a Monk. I suspect that if we see it again, it'll probably focus more on the Improvised Weapon side and make that the focus rather than try to make them good at punching too, though the Grappling stuff might stay as well. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was also delayed in favor of the Psi Warrior as it was decided they wanted to have more Psionic themed Subclasses so Brawler was shelved for later alongside Swashbuckler.
It was so confusing though 😅
I like the psy warrior more
Does it mean Swashbuckler isn't making it in? There were four subclasses for each class, right?
I sure hope Swashbuckler made it in.
Could be they are making thief features base rogue features
@@samuelkalkman9388 I hope so, but they've given no indication that may be happening. I do think that the Thief's ability to use any magic items should be a base class feature for the Rogue though.
@@teknogothyk ya I'm just kinda coping
@@samuelkalkman9388 A lot of us are, I think.
So, is there actual new content in the new PHB or is it all just materials from other books that I already own?
Any chance we'll see a Psyonics Handbook in the next couple of years?
lol, probably not. They don't want to bother putting work into an actual psionics system for 5E. That's why they did a whopping 1 UA for Mystic, which would have been 5E's Psionicist.
Yeah, they said the issue with that class was that not only couldn't they properly balance it, but also that it lacked its own identity with the subclasses being too much like a psychic version of other classes.
Wonder if they’ll revise anything with the subclasses or keep them as is
What a surprise. Psionics truly as core...
"Psionics"
So what rogue subclass got cut. Was it the assassin or swashbuckler?
Certainly the Swashbuckler. Except for Clerics and Wizards, all classes are retaining their 2014 PHB subclasses.
@matthewdavis9966 you never know. The UA swashbuckler was better than the UA assassin. The soul knife and the assassin Also fill the same role. Which the soul knife pulls off better.
I wouldn't be shocked if one or two original PHB subclasses didn't make the cut. Like moon druid for sherpard druid.
They could easily add thieves and assassins into a single subclass.
@@adamg0013It has to be Swashbuckler getting cut honestly. Not only was Assassin in the PHB, Swashbuckler was actually even the Xanathar's Subclass that needed updating the least, with Assassin being among the top 3 that need updating the most alongside Mastermind and Inquisitive. Plus, Swashbuckler may have been good in the Playtest, but I actually found that 2 of its Abilities (Awe and Invigorate) are actually more fitting for a Mastermind update over Swashbuckler to me.
@halozoo2436 does it, though? This is a new book. They aren't locked by the 2014 subclasses. The game has evolved since then.
Now you're probably right it is the swashbuckler because you can still play the 2017 on the 2024 rogue, but the soul knife and the assassin actually fit the same archetype. All about getting the jump on someone but soul knife does it better with blades that don't leave a mark teleportation and invisibility.
and why couldn't the assassin be repurposed for the dmg as an "evil" subclass, and all classes get one, not just cleric and paladin.
So we're going to pay for content we already have, again...
Honestly I feel like this new PHB is gonna just be more confusing than anything, like, you're pulling things from a bunch of existing books as well as doing some new stuff, and some of the existing stuff is probably reworked from its original release, so I feel like it's just gonna be confusing unless everyone is on the new book. Say I'm a DM and I have Tasha's, and a player in my game has the new PHB but I don't, and they're using something from the new book that has been reworked since its original release, won't that confuse everyone and cause possible rules contention?
When I began playing D&D, I'd use material from various editions (basic, 1e, and 2e) interchangeably, thinking of editions as merely minor updates, and it worked fine. 3e changed saves and AC, so at that point it required I actually convert something, but initially I'd DM 1e monsters for 3e characters, too! If this is anything to go by, I suspect that you'll be able to mix new and old 5e material together with no great consternation.
As soon as you said "I'm the DM...", it's your campaign/world/setting/adventure so your rules my friend.

Can you add the Alchemist Preservasionist from Pathfinder to DnD. Its a very fun subclass, Basically a pokemon trainer. Throw monsters in bottles at your enemies!
...You know WotC didn't make Pathfinder and has nothing to do with it?
@@teknogothyk I know.
@@drewmalesky9869 Why ask about a class from another system then?
It’s getting stupid already. Just rename D&D to Marvel Comix Roleplay already.
