One D&D's Next Unearthed Arcana Showcases Changes For Rogues, Bards, And Rangers
Testing is underway for One D&D, the next iteration of Dungeons & Dragons. Last month, players got to see the new character origins options that will be coming in the next edition of D&D, and tomorrow, Unearthed Arcana will reveal even more changes to skill checks, attack rolls, spells, and more.

Spells are also getting new groupings. Primal, Arcane, and Divine spell lists will be part of the next Unearthed Arcana. Rangers will only be able to use Primal
