Subclasses let players specialize in one of their class’s playstyles, or add a new option to the class. Each class names its subclasses with its own prefix.

Subclass prefixes

Several classes use two different prefixes in different parts of the source: Arcanist (Curriculum vs Academy), Cleric (Domain vs Prayer), Druid (Circle vs Grove), Sorcerer (Heritage vs Soul). Pick one per class.

Each class page lists every subclass name from each version of the source, plus the long expansion lists.

General notes on subclasses

  • Make the summoning subclass as robust as the Druid’s Wild Shape.
  • Add Primal Empathy to primal classes.
