Content

Hey folks!

I recently put out the long-requested Dragon Warlock, as it was clear that WotC wasn't going to give us one in the upcoming dragon book. This has sparked the next small project I'll be working - Kibbles' Generic Subclasses. The subclasses we all know should exist in official content, but somehow still don't.

I asked over on the Discord for a list of suggestions, and combined that with a few that'd been requested, come up with this list.

This is just phase one! Vote for what you want to vote for, but also include anything you think is missing as a comment below, and it'll get added to phase 2 voting in the future! I'll also include some of my existing ones that'd fit the ticket when I compile this into a PDF. If you've suggested an idea that wasn't on here... the poll hit its option limit. But feel free to suggest it again in the comments below, as that's where I look for the next one! Warlocks and Wizards miss out this time around (though Warlock got one already!)

When voting, consider that the intent of these is to be the options that are missing - think about what you feel people would expect a class to have, that it somehow still doesn't.

Pretty sure we don’t have an “Inquisitor” subclass. Whether that’s a cleric with a bit of fighter or rogue, or vice versa, I couldn’t say. Other than that…Sumo Wrestler Barbarian?

What does a druid underdark do? Just someone who's familiar with the flora and fauna if the underdark.

Not sure; most these are all fairly vague ideas until the trickle to the top, based on suggestions, requests, etc.

KibblesTasty

Didn't really have any suggestions for it to far; if you have some you think are missing, let me know. I think Ranger captures most of the obvious subclasses, but perhaps there's some.

TikiShades

The only Ranger subclass I can think of as being "obvious" is something like the Half-Elf Ranger from Races of Destiny in 3.5, which was an "urban tracker." They were essentially bounty hunters who tracked people down by chasing rumors. Not sure if that feels "obvious" or if it would even feel right in 5e; you can't change the nature class features into urban class features.

Its wild WoTC hasn't done Plant Druid or Dragon Warlock.
