Which subclasses are we sure to get at full release?

[Ana]

Hi,

I am currently writing a guide on subclasses but I have not seen confident information from Larian telling which subclasses will be available when the game is finished.

For now I listed the following ones:

CLERIC
-life of domain
-light domain
-trickery domain
-knowledge domain
-nature domain
-tempest domain
-war domain

FIGHTER
-battle master
-eldritch knight
-champion

RANGER
-beast master
-hunter

ROGUE
-thief
-arcane trickster
-assassin

WARLOCK
-the fiend
-the great old one
-archfey

WIZARD
-abjuration school
-evocation school

DRUID
-circle of the moon
-circle of the land

SORCERER
-draconic bloodline
-wild magic

BARBARIAN
-berseker
-wildheart

BARD
-college of lore
-college of valour

PALADIN
-oath of devotion
-oath of the ancients
-oath breaker

MONK
- ?

NO ARTIFICIER PLANNED

Did you see any communication on other subclasses I may have missed?

[Heu, Iterum Id Feci]

As far as I am aware, the only confirmation is "all classes from the PHB and nothing about specific subclasses.
I would love to have native support for xanathars and Tashas, but we'll have to wait and see. In any case I'm sure there will be mods for any missing subclasses.

If they implement Illusionist, enchantment and/or conjuration school I might actually play a Wizard.

I really hope they do an expansion/DLC that is whatever it’s called… The sword coast or something? The one that has arcana domain for clerics

[WeenerTuck813]

Variant Human
Arcana Cleric
Magic Initiate: Druid

Booming Blade + Shillelagh + Spirit Guardians + Thorn Whip

The only thing I've seen that isn't on OP post as well is from the BG3 wiki of: MONK
Way of the Open Hand ♦ Way of Shadow ♦ Way of the Four Elements.

But I frankly don't know how accurate the wiki is.

Thank you, yes I saw it too and I am not sure whether Larian is behind the wiki page or not.

Looking at the current communications, my feeling is that they would follow the <2020 dnd5 classes and subclasses.

Is it me or 1 year ago, there was like 6 or 7 subclasses planed for wizard ?

The exact number of subclasses were never confirmed.

We know there are 8 subclasses total for wizard in the PHB, one for each school of magic, but we don't know if all of them will make it into the game.

They initially said all sub-classes in the Player's Handbook in an AMA on reddit, but later Swen said they'd try to add all the sub-classes from the Player's Handbook. So, all the sub-classes from the PHB aren't guaranteed.

They better have Oath of Vengeance paladin.

Oath of Vengeance is in the PHB if I recall correctly so it,ll be in.

Jeez i remember playing D&D back in 1981 the rule-set was simple and fun nowadays you need a phd to understand all rules and classes.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

All that's before my want for a more robust Transmutation spell list for Wizard. That's a whole different block of text. For all my talking about Sorcerers, Transmutation Wizards have the most special place in my heart.

Trans Wizzies are sorta cool (better than Evokers and Abjurers), but I'll forever be in love with Conjurers, Enchanters and Illusionists, in that order.

It's just sad that Enchantment and Illusion nearly always get the short end of the stick in video games because it's easier to code Fireballs. 😤

One of the NPCs has Vow of Enmity, so it may be safe to say the sub-class is in.

Not really. In fact most people's complaints about 5E is how simplified everything is compared to older editions.
