All D&D 5E Spell Changes (2024)
The magic that Dungeons & Dragons 5E characters use is being overhauled in the Unearthed Arcana playtest documents released by Wizards of the Coast ahead of their inclusion in the upcoming 2024 Core Rulebooks. The latest document introduces big changes for the Paladin spell list and a few nice surprises for the other casting classes.
The new Unearthed Arcana article is called Playtest 6 and can be found for free on the D&D Beyond website. This document introduces new subclasses to D&D 5E and modified versions of seven of the base classes. There are also many changes made to the overall rules, all of which you’re encouraged to test out for yourself and submit feedback based on your experiences.
