All in D&D News
A new Unearthed Arcana came out, and this one is the largest one yet! It combines several feedback changes from previous UA releases, as well as a ton of new content regarding classes, spells, feats, and weapons. As always, I’m going to try and condense the notable changes into something more digestible.
While the OGL is, thankfully, remaining intact, the One D&D changes are still being rolled out on a playtesting basis on D&D Beyond. Recently, they released changes to Cleric, Druid, and Paladins, as well as confirming the already simmering changes regarding the use of ‘species’ as opposed to ‘race’ for the playable characters in the game.
Wizards of the Coast continues to produce new playtest material for One D&D, and the newest content is twice as long as the previous one! This one touches on a few of the changed rules already referenced in the previous release, but it’s mostly the introduction of new groupings for classes and some major reworks to the classes in one of the particular groupings. This article will summarize the material to a digestible length, with a few opinions sprinkled throughout.
If you follow D&D news and/or Wizards of the Coast, you likely have heard the buzz around One D&D: the next generation of content for Dungeons and Dragons. This massive shift in content is meant to implement all the micro changes made across the last couple years, plus a whole overhaul of other systems. WotC is releasing this new content in Unearthed Arcana PDFs, and is conducting surveys to see what people are liking and what needs to get kicked from what is unofficially being called ‘5.5 edition.’
