Each subclass was popular, and the revisions to it were driven by feedback that thousands of you provided in surveys.  \nThe subclasses are the barbarian’s Path of the Ancestral Guardian, the bard’s College of Swords, the fighter’s Arcane Archer, the monk’s Way of the Kensei, and the sorcerer’s Favored Soul.  \nThis Is Playtest Material  \nThe material here is presented for playtesting and to spark your imagination. These game mechanics are in draft form, usable in your campaign but not refined by final game development and editing. They aren’t officially part of the game and aren’t permitted in D&D Adventurers League events.  \nIf we decide to make this material official, it will be refined based on your feedback, and then it will appear in a D&D book.  \nBarbarian: Path of the Ancestral Guardian  \nSome barbarians hail from cultures that revere their ancestors. These tribes teach that the warriors of the past linger in the world as mighty spirits, who can guide and protect the living. When a barbarian who follows this path rages, the barbarian contacts the spirit world and callson these guardian spirits for aid in a time of need.  \nBarbarians who draw on their ancestral guardians can better fight to protect their tribes and their allies. In order to cement ties to their ancestral guardians, barbarians who follow this path cover themselves in elaborate tattoos that celebrate their ancestors’ deeds. These tattoos tell sagas of victories against terrible monsters and other fearsome rivals.  \nPath of the Ancestral Guardian Features Barbarian  \nLevel Feature  \n3rd Ancestral Protectors  \n6th Spirit Shield (2d8)  \n10th Consult the Spirits, Spirit Shield (3d8)  \n14th Vengeful Ancestors, Spirit Shield (4d8)  \nAncestral Protectors  \nStarting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. These warriors distract a foe you strike and hinder its attempts to harm your companions. While you’re raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors. Until the start of your next turn or until your rage ends, that target has disadvantage on any attack roll that doesn’t target you, and creatures other than you have resistance to the damage of the target’s attacks.  \nSpirit Shield  \nBeginning at 6th level, the guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection foryour allies. If you are raging and a creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d8 .  \nWhen you reach certain levels in this class, you can reduce the damage by more: by 3d8 at 10th level and by 4d8 at 14th level.  \nConsult the Spirits  \nAt 10th level, you gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits and use them to scout faroff areas. When you do so, you cast the clairvoyance spell, without needing a spell slot. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, the spell invisibly summons one of your ancestral spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for the spell.  \nAfter you cast the spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.  \nVengeful Ancestors  \nAt 14th level, your ancestral spirits grow powerful enough to strike foes that dare to harm those you protect. When you use your Spirit Shield to protect a creature damaged by an attack, the attacker takes the same amount of damage that your Spirit Shield prevents.  \nBard: College of Swords  \nBards ofthe College of Swords are called blades, and they entertain through daring feats of weapon prowess. Blades perform stunts such as sword swallowing, knife throwing and juggling, and mock combats. Though they use their  \n©2017 Wizards of the Coast LLC 1  \nweapons to entertain, they are also highly  \ntrained and skilled warriors in their own right.  \nTheir talent with","cbCaiqXe2GLDGSxu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqXe2GLDGSxu","pdf",109017,"English","# Barbarian: Path of the Ancestral Guardian\n## Ancestral Protectors\n## Spirit Shield\n## Consult the Spirits\n## Vengeful Ancestors\n# Bard: College of Swords\n## Bonus Proficiencies\n## Fighting Style\n## Blade Flourish","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Unearthed Arcana revision document?\",\"answer\":\"It provides revised draft versions of five subclasses to be playtested and to spark player imagination, based on feedback from earlier releases.\"},{\"question\":\"Is this content official or usable in all D\\u0026D formats?\",\"answer\":\"The mechanics are draft and unofficial, usable in a campaign, but not officially part of the game and not permitted in D\\u0026D Adventurers League events.\"},{\"question\":\"What are Ancestral Protectors and when do they appear?\",\"answer\":\"At 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you rage to distract foes you hit and hinder their ability to harm your companions.\"}]","Unearthed Arcana: Revised Subclasses - Playtest Material | PDF",1791233486]
