July Subclass Updated List & Poll!

The List So Far

• Barbarian: Path of Instinct - An instinctual warrior who's rage is a state of perfect focus.
• Druid: Circle of Elements - A druid that manifests elemental powers to manipulate the battlefield.
• Druid: Circle of Growth - A plant druid who conjures a seedling that's empowered as they use their magic.
• Fighter: Adventurer - An resource fighter that always seems to have a spare potion or scroll. The most basic form of adventurer.
• Fighter: Brawler - A rough and tumble fighter for whom anything (or anyone) nearby is a weapon.
• Fighter: Crusader (New!) - A 1/3 caster divine Fighter that fears no foe, focused on empowering themselves with zeal.
• Monk Way of the Outcast (Revised!) - A monk that's fallen of the wagon and into the school of pragmatism. Revised it here because I was doing other monks (see below revised options).
• Ranger: Bounty Hunter - An urban ranger who tracks down their pray... dead, alive, or some mix between the two.
• Rogue: Divine Hand - A holy inquisitor who's original subclass name was stolen by a non-holy inquisitive rogue.
• Sorcerer: Fey Origin (New!) - A mysterious and tricksy legacy within gives your illusions a little extra sparkle
• Sorcerer: Fiend - A sorcerer that inherited a darker legacy... blame Warlocks (...or Bards).
• Sorcerer: Phoenix Spark (New!) - An undying legacy born in flames that blooms anew, paradoxical masters of fire and life.
• Sorcerer: Sea Soul - A waveborn sorcerer that push about their foes with the turbulent power of the ocean. Originally inspired by a UA concept, but long sense set adrift.
• Warlock: The Dragon - The lowest hanging fruit. The pages that were clearly just missing from Fizban's. The most obvious answer to the question "why does that not exist?"

Revised Subclasses

• Champion Fighter - The classic stalwart Fighter, now with just a bit more going for it.
• Assassin Rogue - The classic sneaking and stabbing Rogue, now with a bit more sneaking and stabbing.
• Monk: Way of the Four Elements (New!) - My take the idea, bringing a lot of the elemental spells I made to flesh it out quite a bit more, and rebalance it to give it a bit more crackle and zap.
• Monk: Way of the Sword Saint (New!) - This is a revised Kensai that eventually evolved into it's own thing, as sword monk that swords things in fancy ways, inspired by more Tome of Battle-like and Active Martial Feat like abilties, with a mystic sword skills flair pulling gish spells.
• Warlock: The Fey - A revised version of Archfey warlock with a bit more flair and punch.

From the previous poll, there were two additional winners that have been tabled for now as their initial designers didn't pan out, and they are under further development and review. They won't be re-added to the poll, as folks already voted to them, but will pend me having good ideas to flesh them out:

• Ranger: Marine/Sea Themed - WIP
• Wizard: Onomancy (Namer) - WIP

The the poll has been freshly populated from the reddit thread linked last time, as a well as ideas from folks here, Discord, and elsewhere. It seems we have no danger of running out of stuff folks want!

I should note, the poll only allows 25 options, so I've rotated out some of the lower voted options from last time, and was only able to include a fraction of the total suggestions.

My plan is to make roughly the top 5, and rotate out the bottom 5, so each poll should have at least 10 new options from the backlog or from new suggestions. Feel free to add new suggestions here. This poll will run roughly once a month until... we run out of ideas? Ha... that doesn't seem likely!

I've tried to slightly balance the subclasses, and decided to skip Sorcerers this time as they've gotten a lot of new ones recently, but they'll be back (lots of ideas in the backlog submitted for them).
