Yeah, from what we've seen, players that start with the 5.24 books will have less options for Cleric and Wizard subclasses unless they pick up the deprecated 5.14 volume.
Instead of "less options" let's say "more focused options"Yeah, from what we've seen, players that start with the 5.24 books will have less options for Cleric and Wizard subclasses unless they pick up the deprecated 5.14 volume.
I wonder if they will have evoked diviner abjured and Necromancer.
I much thought the same, but when I tried my hand at designing/rewriting a single subclass that merged 8 subclasses in it, I found that it doesn't work. It still takes 7 subclasses worth of pagespace to get all those different abilities (8 schools, 4 subclass abilities each). The only way to cut space is to cut more of the flavor/descriptive text.I wouldn't be surprised if, for Wizard, they have a "specialist" subclass where you pick one of the spell schools, rather than a subclass for each school.
Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition already has something like this. Arcanist | Level Up A5e's Generalist Wizard is the Mage. Mage | Level UpI wouldn't be surprised if, for Wizard, they have a "specialist" subclass where you pick one of the spell schools, rather than a subclass for each school.
Crawford already said in one of the Survey videos that Necromancer is one of the 4 Wizard Subclasses, and that they are tackling those mechanical issues head on.I think they will probably avoid "Necromancer" to stay away from darker themes in the PHB and avoid having to deal with having to deal with another round of arguing over the template issue and summoning balance now and kick that can down the road. Now would probably be the best time to deal with it from my point of view though.
Just remember there is no I in team BUT there are 5 I’s in forget it I don’t care the size of the room I cast fireball.I like that they chose evoker. It is one of the most popular subclasses in our parties besides transmuter, enchanter and diviner.
I remember the outcry when the evoker did not get a damage boost at level 2.
I can easily say, taking your fellow adventurers out of you blasts has been worth more than a few points of damage..
