Anyone else a bit annoyed at 1 to 1 subclass reprints?
Just flipped through the new Ravenloft book, I'd say a massive improvement over the old one. But what bugs me is that 5 out of 7 subclasses are reprints of the old ones. Okay, I can excuse the Bard or the Shadow Sorcerer, their mechanics were sufficiently changed.
But the Phantom Rogue and the Undead Patron are relatively unchanged, getting minor tweaks at best. Not only does it feel kind of bad to get a reprint of a 5-year-old subclass, but it's also a pretty terrible rogue one since it gets its actual interesting features at levels 9 and 14.
I feel like if they're going to recook content from the 2014 version, it should be pretty different from its original version, or at least address and fix the issues the subclasses had. Otherwise stop wasting book space and make something new!!! (The art for the rogue goes hard at least)
