Well I do admit I'm a bit (cough) influenced by second edition and how it was portrayed there. I can admit to my prejudicial views ;) But yeah I can understand a raging manifestation of unbridled psionic energy gone wrong. Like Slaine and his Warp Spasm.
I have been giving it some thought and I have decided that I like that they are reprinting classes/subclasses in T:CoE. That means that I will never need to buy a MtG setting book to get subclasses. I just have to wait a few months for them to be reprinted in a more useful book.
Yeah, as much as I like seeing WotC's ideas for possible subclasses and kind of contributing to their development through the surveys, I think it's a good thing that they haven't made one for awhile to give D&D Beyond's staff time to code for all of the complex changes they need to make for Tasha's.
Any speculation on what could be in the next UA, though? They recently said that they were going to make 3 classic D&D setting books, so subclasses and possibly races for those books are probably likely to be playtested sometime soon-ish. I guess it depends on what settings they're planning on bringing back, but what content do you think could be in the next Unearthed Arcana for these settings?

Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
I would like Thri-kreen, Modrons, Mul, Bauriar, and a system for other hybrid races the most, but like a lot of races from previous editions. It's probably unlikely that they'll do UA for these, but one can only hope.
For subclasses, I'm not sure what they could do for some of the settings. Ravenloft is almost definitely coming out, and they already did a UA for those subclasses, and I don't expect to see a second version of them in the UA. Dark Sun would probably just have a reprint of the psionics in TCoE, which I find disappointing, but they could always surprise us with a new psionic class or system (extremely unlikely, though).
Those are the two settings I see most likely to be brought back to 5e, and the last setting is probably going to be Planescape, IMO. I don't know enough about the setting in previous editions to know what subclasses they could make for it, but I could see them doing some other planar subclasses for Druids, Fighters, Monks, Rogues, and Sorcerers. Any thoughts?

Well, I would always love more classes based around dragons. A Dragon Warlock and a Dragon Monk especially (Initiate of Draconic Mysteries was an Prestige/paragon class for monks in previous editions). Outside of that though, I'm not entirely sure. I suppose it would be interesting to see Psionic flavors of the other classes like Paladin, Ranger, Barbarian and the like.

I was just about to create a Dragon Otherworldly Patron for the Warlock, and am currently in the process of making a Dragon Rider Martial Archetype for the Fighter. I could see them doing something like the Dragon Rider I'm designing if they bring back Dragonlance, but I don't know how likely that is.

I feel the mounts would have to be draconic creatures, but not actual dragons. Otherwise the balancing would be rather wonky. I could see them using something like the chromatic guard drakes and just upping their size to large and adding metallic options so you can customize the mount. Maybe at higher levels you can have them use a breath weapon or gain the ability to fly. Would be really cool.

A beastmaster-style character (but actually good) that focuses on cool mounts would be neat. I'm not a big fan of dragons, but the idea is sweet.
It be cool to pick from different mounts. Maybe a Dragon mount, or a Griffon, or a Worg, or a Displacer Beast.....I could spend all day listing off cool creatures to ride into battle on.

I'm guessing not a Black Pudding
Now, think about all the cool things you could do with a pudding! Get absorbed by it, have it climb up a wall, and burst out of it into a guards face.

I'm currently just making a first draft. It works similarly to the Battlesmith Artificer's Steel Defender. It is a "real" dragon, as you choose its type (any chromatic or metallic dragon), has wings, and a very limited breath weapon. If you've ever read the Inheritance series it works kind of like Eragon and Saphira's bond, but changed to be a bit more balanced in D&D 5e. It starts out as a medium-sized wyrmling and gets larger and more powerful as you level up as a Fighter, getting different stat blocks at later levels.
It's not the real Monster Manual stats for dragons, I kind of combined them to a basic Draconic Companion stat block mixed with how the Steel Defender works, requiring your bonus action to act. It's very much still in the first stages of being created, and will need a lot more work to balance completely, but that's how it works for now.
Anyway, this is mostly off topic, so further discussion on this will probably have to be in a PM or other thread.
I would like something like this to be official in D&D 5e, coming out in an Unearthed Arcana with other draconic subclasses for Barbarian, Druids, Warlock, possibly Cleric, Ranger, Paladin, and others. Dungeons and Dragons should have more options for players to use dragons in their character. I want to play a Blue Dragonborn Dragon Rider Fighter or Winged Kobold Dragonslayer Ranger, for Ao's sakes!

Ok so maybe i missed it, but isn't Tasha's Cauldron gonna be on Beyond?...
Cause i can't find it anywhere on the store for pre-order or whatever.

Kain de Frostberg- Dark Knight - (Vengeance Pal3/ Hexblade 9), Port Mourn
Kain de Draakberg-Dark Knight lvl8-Avergreen(DitA)
They haven't announced it yet. They will announce it once it's up.
It's been a while
She/Her Player and Dungeon Master
Yep. Somewhere around 2 months since Spirits Bard and Undead Warlock. Hopefully some new stuff soon.
I'm hoping they're not releasing any UA because they're so busy making sure the subclasses in Tasha's will be perfect.
Please check out my homebrew and give me feedback!
Subclasses | Races | Spells | Magic Items | Monsters | Feats | Backgrounds
Also maybe giving DnD Beyond a friggin break so they can finish Tasha's!

Probably Subclasses only, because races seem less probable to unbalance
It would be cool to see some UA races though. There are still 4 races I want added to 5e. These are the Thri-kreen, Mul, Wilden, and Shardmind.
