Every New Subclass In D&D's Forgotten Realms Unearthed Arcana
Ahead of the planned to release this November, has released eight new subclasses for intrepid adventurers to try early. These subclasses cover a range of classes, meaning no matter a player's preference, it's likely there's going to be something for everyone.
