There's a new Unearthed Arcana in town! "The bard receives a new Bardic College feature: the College of Eloquence. Additionally, the paladin gains a new Sacred Oath feature: the Oath of Heroism."
I don't agree, on the grounds that it' sa level 6 feature and meta magic is for sorcerer's not bards.My opinion.
BARD - College of Eloquence
Undeniable Logic is too strong in my opinion. Completely renders Heightened spell metamagic obselete.
Infectious Inspiration should just give you the ability to inspire two allies at a time.
PALADIN - Oath of Heroism
Oath Spells. Replace Enthrall with Enlarge/Reduce.
Beyond that, I’d say it works fairly well as a Champion Fighter, in some sort of “only spellcasters permitted” game.
All in all, I think that this new round of UA PDFs is intended for the next 5e Magic the Gathering campaign guide.
All of the places in Greek Mythology are in Planescape coexisting with other mythologies in the Great Ring, notably Arborea which was also known as Olympus in 1e before the setting existed. Planescape embraced the Hellenic Pantheon and other real world pantheons over most campaign world specific deities.
Hmmm, going back to the Wild Barbarian path, that makes a lot of sense in the context of The Beastlands or Arborea. I wonder if all the recent sub-class UAs could be tied to a specific outer plane?
I like the paladin. Allows one to play a supernatural hero without the chivalry baggage of the devotion paladin.
Increased critical hit range combined with smites is powerful. And as a bonus action to be able to smoothly open with it to boot. Might make some DMs groan.
I like the flavor of Glorious Defense. Seems a bit weak for a 15th level ability, but also fun to use. The capstone also looks interesting.
I was thinking the Feywild.
The Monk is the Astral Plane, Warlock the Plane of Water, the Sorcerer the Far Realm, the Paladin Arborea.
Only one I can't place is the bard. I was thinking Mechanus at first.
But overall I think these classes are implying a Manual of the Planes.
