And the Warlock whim, « nobody think I’m the bad guy of the party ».

Actual DnD already toss away the concept of Evil race. The Ranger choosing two humanoid races as favored ennemies is way more « racist » than the paladin.

Dont worry to keep your book. Playing ADnD without the book and not knowing the rules is in line with my memories.

I follow the play tests and see nothing in this direction.

I heard that Gygax don’t use this table of adjustment for his game, which makes the rule even more obscure!

Dark vision for PCs. Out!

I can imagine a Ranger subclass under both Fighter and Rogue. Same for the Bard.

Fighter with sub classes Ranger, paladin, artificer, monk, barbarian, warlock hex blade. Cleric, with sub classes druid Rogue Wizard with sub classes sorcerer, warlock fiend, witch and other. Bard will stay a bizarre matchup of fighter, rogue, wizard and others.

In a fantasy world you can state that the big city is feed by some powerful magic, and those who control this ressource has an immense power…

Veteran players don’t need class at all to implement a strong character concept. But 5ed aim for new comer into the game.
