Okay, I haven't had time to make the surveys or finish the subclasses yet, but the two subclasses that will be in the next form are the Heathen Hunter rogue subclass (another casting subclass, this one getting its magic from being devoted to a church/cult, serving as their assassins) and The Dracon warlock subclass (you made a pact with a dragon or dragon god).
I am going to go to bed soon, so I will have to complete the rest tomorrow, so I figured that I should ask for the opinion of the people who have been doing the surveys. I have a list of subclasses that could also go in this form, so vote for two choices, and I will put the one with the most votes in the next form. To vote, just post with which two you would prefer.
Here are the possible subclasses:
Any revised version of a subclass that has appeared in the first form (name the one you want).
Path of the Dragonrager
Way of the Titan Monk (giant, punchy, graple-y monk)
Oath of Freedom Paladin (liberty subclass)
Deep Predator Ranger (diving, underwater hunter)
Frozen Heart Sorcerer (elsa, anyone?)
The Cold One Warlock (Levistus, Auril, Cryonax, and Kostchtie patron)

Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
Okay, just finished up the fourth form. I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to look over the subclasses and give your feedback in the survey. Here it is:
Enigmatic Esoterica Form 4: Way of the Towering Titan Monk, Deep Predator Ranger, Heather Hunter Rogue, The Dracon Warlock
Monks who are members of the Way of the Towering Titan have learned how to harness their inner ki and combine it with their physical strength in order to grow to immense sizes, grab and crush their enemies, and destroy all structures in their path. This monastic tradition originated with giants, who used it to destroy the structures created by their humanoid and draconic enemies, however the tradition has spread to various cultures and peoples. Perhaps your monk grew up in a goliath settlement or barbarian tribe that practiced the tradition, and left for adventure after picking up the knowledge of how to practice this art. Or, you could have learned how to enhance your size by watching ogres or hill giants from a distance, being able to replicate their giantish fury on your own.
Form of the Hulking Titan
3rd-level Way of the Towering Titan feature
Your mastery of your ki and training over the might of the titanic giants has allowed for you to assume the size of an ogre. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 ki point to become Large, if you weren't already Large or bigger. Anything you are wearing and carrying grows to accommodate your new size. When you do so, each creature of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take bludgeoning damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die and falling prone.
For 10 minutes, you remain this size. You determine any minor physical changes that happen to you during this time period, such as your skin becoming frost-giant blue or giantish tattoos appearing on your skin. You gain the following benefits during this time:
Once a turn, when you use your Flurry of Blows feature, you may give up one of the unarmed strikes granted by that feature to grapple a creature that is at least one size smaller than you.
Any creature that is at least one size smaller than you that you are grappling counts as an improvised weapon that you are proficient with, as well as counting as a monk weapon. When you use a creature as a weapon, they take half the damage dealt to the hit target.
Your reach is 5 feet greater than normal, and the short and long ranges of your thrown weapons are doubled
You gain advantage on any ability check or saving throw that uses your Strength.
Might of the Giant
6th-level Way of the Towering Titan feature
While you are under the effects of your Form of the Hulking Titan feature any attack roll, saving throw, or roll for your Deflect Missile feature, you may replace adding your Dexterity modifier to the roll with adding your Strength modifier.
Additionally, once a turn while under the effects of your Form of the Hulking Titan feature, you deal extra damage with one weapon attack equal to your martial arts die.
Towering Form
11th-level Way of the Towering Titan feature
When you are under the effects of your Form of the Hulking Titan feature, you gain the following benefits:
When a creature provokes an opportunity attack from you, you may choose to replace your attack against them with a grapple. If your grapple succeeds, you may expend one ki point to immediately make one weapon attack with the grappled creature.
You gain proficiency with all heavy melee weapons, and they count as monk weapons for you.
Bludgeoning damage you deal to objects and structures is doubled.
Mastery of Colossal Strength
17th-level Way of the Towering Titan feature
When you use your Form of the Hulking Titan feature, you may become Huge, instead of large. While you are under this effect, your reach increases by an additional 5 feet.
Additionally, if you miss with an attack roll or fail with an ability check that adds your Strength modifier, you may expend two ki points to reroll that attack roll or ability check. You may use this feature once a turn.
You have spent much time training your body in diving and becoming an inescapable, underwater hunter, mastering the tactics used by sharks and other fierce watery predators. This has not only given you the physical properties of one who dwells underwater, but also makes you be more comfortable underwater than you are on the surface world and gives you magical powers over controlling and swiftly moving through water. A Deep Predator is a diving hunter that thrives in the deepest parts of the ocean and are masters of surviving in those watery depths.
Deep Predator Magic
3rd-level Deep Predator feature
You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Deep Predator Spells table. Each spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.
You gain a swimming speed of 30 feet. If you already had a swimming speed, it increases by 15 feet.
Additionally, you do not provoke opportunity attacks while swimming, and suffer no negative effects from swimming more than 100 feet under the surface of the water and automatically succeed on your Constitution saving throw against exhaustion caused by swimming for an hour or more.
Deep Menace
3rd-level Deep Predator feature
Due to your ability to be a powerful tracker of prey underwater, you have the ability to focus your hunting prowess completely on another creature, disturbing them and fixating completely on slaying them. As a bonus action, you may designate a creature within 90 feet of you as your Stalked Prey, forcing them to make a Wisdom saving throw against your ranger spell save DC. On a failed saving throw, they are frightened of you until this feature ends or until they succeed on the Wisdom saving throw, which they can repeat as an action. If they are more than 90 feet away from you at the end of their turn, they may repeat the saving throw against being frightened, ending the effect on a success.
Once on your turn when you hit your Stalked Prey with a weapon attack, the attack deals an extra 1d6 damage of the weapon's type. Additionally, when your Stalked Prey uses movement to swim or fly, you may interrupt their turn to move to up to your speed, and must move to a space closer to the Stalked Prey than you were before you used this reaction. If you end this movement within the reach or range of a thrown weapon, you may also make one opportunity attack as part of this reaction.
Depth Spotter
7th-level Deep Predator feature
While you are submerged in water, you and creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you gain 60 feet of darkvision. Any creatures that would be effected by this feature that already have darkvision have its range increased by 30 feet.
Additionally, creatures of your choice within 30 feet (including you) of you can hold their breath for twice the typical length of time.
Terror of the Depths
11th-level Deep Predator feature
Your Stalked Prey automatically fails the initial saving throw of your Deep Menace feature.
Diving Predator
15th-level Deep Predator feature
While frightened of you, your Stalked Prey automatically misses with the first attack roll they make against you, taking your reaction to force them to miss. Additionally, the damage of your Deep Menace feature increases to 2d6.
Your reputation for prowess in stealth and assailing has spread across the realms, causing a church or cult to have discovered your talents and take an interest. Representatives of this faith have approached you and recruited you as their zealous hitman, training you in their credence and teaching you how to use some magic that has been bestowed upon their church's leaders and devout. They may have recruited you to spy on their rivals, investigate possible traitors inside their creed, or even slay enemies of the church. This connection to a faith grants you magical powers that assist you in doing the dirty work of your church.
Assassin's Vow
3rd-level Heathen Hunter feature
When you choose this archetype, you choose your Assassin's Vow, which can be either Anointed or Unified. This vow determines your spell list, spellcasting ability, and many other magical aspects of your sworn affiliation with your patron dogma. You keep this vow for the rest of your career as a Heathen Hunter, or until you change your Vow at your DMs discretion, typically depending on story aspects of the campaign.
Anointed Assassin. As an anointed assassin, you have sworn your Assassin's Vow to the clergy of a church devoted to a deity or demipower that has enough divine power to bestow spells upon clerics. You gain the following benefits.

Each of these spells must be a necromancy, evocation or conjuration spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the cleric spells you know with another spell of your choice from the cleric spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be a necromancy, evocation or conjuration spell, unless you’re replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level from any school of magic.
Dedicated Domain
Choose a divine domain from the cleric class that aligns with your patron church's faith. When you choose a cleric spell to learn, instead of being restricted to specific schools of magic, you may choose to learn a spell of any level from that domain's list of Domain Spells, as long as it is of a level that you can cast.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells, since you learn your spells through dedication to your church's dogma. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Esoteric Patron
Choose an otherworldly patron from the warlock class that aligns with your patron cult's otherworldly leader.

Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, since your spells are granted by your otherworldly master. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell charm person and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast charm person using either slot.

Guidance of the Devout
3rd-level Heathen Hunter feature
When you cast the guidance cantrip on yourself, its casting time is a bonus action.

Zealot's Fury
9th-level Heathen Hunter feature
When you make a spell attack roll at advantage, if the spell deals damage, you may add your Sneak Attack damage dice to the damage that spell deals to one person.
You may use this feature an amount of times equal to your spellcasting ability modifier, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Guided Strikes
13th-level Heathen Hunter feature
When you cast guidance as a bonus action, you gain advantage on the next attack roll you make against a creature within the range of the melee weapon you are currently holding.
Covenant-Bound
17th-level Heathen Hunter feature
You gain an additional benefit determined by your Assassin's Vow.
Anointed Assassin. You gain the following feature.
Channel Divinity
You gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You have with three such effects: Harness Divine Power, Turn Undead and an effect determined by your Dedicated Domain. Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description.
When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.
Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your cleric spell save DC.
Channel Divinity: Turn Undead
As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
Channel Divinity: Harness Divine Power
You can expend a use of your Channel Divinity to fuel your spells. As a bonus action, you touch your holy symbol, utter a prayer, and regain one expended spell slot, the level of which can be no higher than half your proficiency bonus (rounded up). You may use this Channel Divinity option twice, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Unified Assassin. You gain the following feature.
Pact Magic
Your patron cult has allowed you to cast spells even more effectively than before. When you finish a short rest, you regain one expended spell slot of 4th-level or lower.
Your otherworldly patron is a powerful draconic figure, possibly Tiamat, Bahamut, Sardior, the Vestige of Asgorath, a great wyrm, a powerful half-dragon sorcerer, or some other powerful entity of draconic nature.
When you make the pact with this draconic patron, you choose a color of dragon to be associated with, granting you specific features and spells based on that choice. This type that you are associated with must be part of your patron's aspect, such as being connected to a red or green dragon with your patron being Tiamat, and similar connections.
In order to determine the draconic type, you may either roll on the Draconic Type Patron table or choose.

While not wearing medium or heavy armor, you may add your Charisma modifier to your Armor Class.
You gain resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic patron's type.
You grow long, draconic claws where your fingernails previously were, which count as simple melee weapons that you are holding that deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Charisma modifier. Attack rolls made with these claws add your Charisma modifier, instead of your Strength modifier. You may make a melee attack against a creature within 5 feet of you as a bonus action.
You may use this feature once, regaining the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.
Draconic Boon
3rd-level The Dracon feature

Wings of the Dracon
14th-level The Dracon feature
You grow phantasmal draconic wings while your Avatar of the Dragon feature is active, granting you a flying speed equal to your walking speed. Additionally, you may use your Avatar of the Dragon feature an unlimited amount of times.
That took awhile. Here's the survey! Thank you for reading, and please fill out the survey if you have time!
The Deep Predator doesn’t gain the ability to breathe underwater. This seems, thematically, like a problem.

Yeah, I was kind of debating whether or not to give them that. They get the Water Breathing spell and a hold-breath ability, but I'm not sure if I want to add that feature to the subclass.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
I really like the class. It's kinda niche, but anything underwater is going to be mostly useless in most adventures and essential in a few. I do think that the Diving Predator feature should not take a reaction, as it only affects one creature. I also think that Terror of the Depths shouldn't apply to creatures with legendary actions, and that you could get some minor feature as well at 11th level.
Heathen Hunter's channel divinity mentions a channel divinity granted by your Vow, but it only applies to the Annoited Assassin
. . . Yeah, that's on purpose. It only applies to the Anointed Assassin, as they're the Cleric-Assassins, and they get the 2nd-level channel divinity options from the domain they're connected to.

Hey, Third, just came across these. You really ought to have this and the other book project thread linked in your sig. I've only skimmed them but might review them ... I will say for some reason my gut take was 75% positive, that is sets 1, 3, and 4 seemed really inspired but for some reason set 2 didn't feel up to the rest of the batch. Will have to figure out why after a real read.
Also, for your morale, I hope you understand "views" aren't the same thing as engagement. Looks like your getting good quality feedback from the self-selecting.
Also ... "illicit esoterica" ... I know what you're trying to do with the wordplay (i.e. to UA), but it rings to my ears a little seedy. I'm thinking some of those 800 viewers may have clicked looking for something else.

Okay, I can reword that. Thanks for letting me know.
Okay, I haven't had time to make the surveys or finish the subclasses yet, but the two subclasses that will be in the next form are the Heathen Hunter rogue subclass (another casting subclass, this one getting its magic from being devoted to a church/cult, serving as their assassins) and The Dracon warlock subclass (you made a pact with a dragon or dragon god).
I am going to go to bed soon, so I will have to complete the rest tomorrow, so I figured that I should ask for the opinion of the people who have been doing the surveys. I have a list of subclasses that could also go in this form, so vote for two choices, and I will put the one with the most votes in the next form. To vote, just post with which two you would prefer.
Here are the possible subclasses:

Hey Third_Sundering! I would love to see a revised Archer and the way of the titan monk!

The Titan Monk and the Frozen Heart Sorcerer would be my choices.

Also, for your morale, I hope you understand "views" aren't the same thing as engagement. Looks like your getting good quality feedback from the self-selecting.
Also ... "illicit esoterica" ... I know what you're trying to do with the wordplay (i.e. to UA), but it rings to my ears a little seedy. I'm thinking some of those 800 viewers may have clicked looking for something else.
Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
finished the forms
I just don't see the point in saying "an effect granted by your Vow", since only the Anointed Vow gets this feature
Okay, I can reword that. Thanks for letting me know.
