This Unearthed Arcana came with new fighting styles for classes with the Fighting Style feature. I created a fighter character with "Playtest Content" enabled and these fighting styles do not show up in the list of options during character creation.
Much thanks! I did not know that post existed. I will make a reminder for myself to check a few weeks or months later.
Edit to follow up: The class structure being upended should not interfere with adding a few additional choices to fighting styles, as fighting styles is already a drop down choice list that should be able to have elements within it tagged as playtest or non-playtest for the playtest filter to trigger on.
Expanded Spell List - At present there is no way to grant expanded spell lists on a per option basis. The Genie Warlock will show all of the new spells available to learn currently. Please follow the Spells known for your specific Genie type as shown in the below Table.
Wouldn't it be easiest to put it in as 4 subclasses one for each Genie type, sort of like the Wild Talent feats split for different skills?
I'm really liking the "PSI Knight" Martial Archetype. The only thing I might suggest changing is the Psi-Powered Leap, to PSI-Powered Movement I think there is an option to use accelerated movement speed to gain advantage in combat position. The would allow the leap option to remain but give a bit more versatility.

WotC announced that they will be discontinuing support for the Psi Knight.
Did they? I thought they only said they were discontinuing work on the Psionic Wizard subclass...
Can you give a link to where they made this announcement?
The Psionic Wizard and the old Psionic Fighter and Rogue, along with the Aberrant Mind were all scrapped when they moved to the Psi Knight, the Psionic Sorcerer, and the updated Psionic Rogue that all use the Psi Die. If you follow the link I provided above to the Psionics UA forum, from there you can find a link to an interview where Jimmy Neutron Jeremy Crawford announced that they got bad feedback on the Psi Die so they are also now scrapping all three subclasses that used it, including the Psi Knight.
Edit: Here is a link to that interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY78Dt0cBms. Now we should move this discussion to the relevant forum thread as we are off-topic for this one.
If Wails from the grave wasn't limited to at max 6 times a day, it'd be on par, but, otherwise, inferior to Revenant. Maybe if it let you refresh your uses when you break one of the Tokens of the dead. Otherwise, if I'm playing a non-caster class, I expect to have my tricks available all the time. (Even when I do play caster really... lol, that's why I favor Warlock and beefing up Eld Blast.)
So any update on when they will fix something as small as the lack of Wish being on the mystic arcanum? It's been... A while
It’s not a small fix. No other subclass can affect Mystic Arcanum like that. They literally do not have the code to make it available for that subclass but not all of them.
So question/feedback on this subclass - I have some questions on the Manifest Mind ability:
Does the Manifested Mind replace the Awakened Spellbook (i.e. once you manifest it does your awakened spellbook go away and turn into the manifestation)? Which would mean you only use this ability once per short rest. If that is not the case........
Can you continue to create Manifests in the same way an Echo Knight can create Echos?
(This may be a moot question depending on the answer to #1) - The ability to use the Manifestation to cast wizard spells is limited to a number of times per day equal to your proficiency bonus - does that mean per day total or per manifestation (meaning if I make three manifests one after the other (only having one at a time) - can I cast 4 spells from each of them or 4 total between all three)?
Very cool subclass! I just think some more specificity in the abilities would go a long way.

I have to say they really missed the mark on the Phantom Rogue. Just the name promises a very cool concept; a rogue that is spectral and ghostly. But you don’t actually get a feature like that until you reach level 13? C’mon.
The Path of the Beast Barbarian did a much better job of delivering on the promise of the subclass early and just improving on it as you level up. I don’t want to wait until level 13 to actually be a ghost rogue. Give us A weaker version of the ghost form early. Make it only last a round, maybe? Or as reaction? Then as you level up it improves. Lasts longer. Maybe a possession ability at level at high level?As it stands right now, pretty boring.

Thank you, and sorry. I am new to the forums and mistakenly assumed "subclasses revisited" was"alternate classes."
I'll take my question elsewhere. Thank you again.

Thank you, much appreciated.
Is there anyway to use archived subclasses? I liked the revenant, but Phantom looks awful compared to it.
If you already have a character with that archived subclass you can continue to use it as long as you never remove the subclass.
And, IMHO, the Phantom is pretty good once you get used to the gOort mechanics.

Despite having it in their Extended Spelllist, Genie Warlocks don't get wish in their spell choice
It’s disappointing that no one has been able to respond to this in the two weeks it’s been up.

I am still unable to select wish as a 17th level mystic arcanum for genie warlocks.
