Next UA is Paladin, NOT Mystic

[jaappleton]

Confirmed by Crawford.

Originally, Mystic (according to Mearls) was supposed to see another release in November. That was pushed back to 'by the end of the year'.

Now... Who knows?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Honestly, while I find it frustrating, it's difficult for me to complain.

We're getting content at an unprecedented pace. I know Mystic fans, myself included, really want to see the next iteration, and its the first new class introduced since 5E was released.

But it's kinda tough for me to complain when we're getting all this new UA content.

Let the holy warrior speculation...begin!

I'll put my money on an eastern-themed oath, a healer oath, and an evil option that is massively overpowered. You know, just as a wild guess.

Oath of the Arcane - Your Swordmage Paladin

[RickAllison]

I'm voting some pseudo-Grey/Blackguard. Not because I really want it, but it does fill in a niche and they are an iconic archetype.

Evil but not undeadundeadundead... a proper Tyranny paladin? Or does Crown do the job?
Arcane Paladin is an interesting idea.
Oath of Travel (protector of pilgrims and travelers) is just esoteric enough to come up.
I'm still hoping for a Draconic Oath.

lazy design: Godsworn Paladin. Paladin with Cleric Domain features. Except they replace half of the features with Bardic Inspiration.

Bone Knight (Oath of the Restless?) - A warrior who takes on the aspects of the undead to better fight them. Probably includes resistance/immunity to necrotic and poison.

Oath of the Arcane - Your Swordmage Paladin

I think this would be brilliant, but unlikely.

[Balyano]

How about an elemental paladin?

[Papadragon]

well, i'll just sit here and wait for the rogue UA to come out..

Interesting to see if they'll do a Ranger one, considering they did the Revised Ranger recently.

Paladin of War? (At last, a Warlord!)
Paladin of Rage? (No idea, but I'd play one, LOL.)
Mad Paladin? (Driven insane by an oath to the Great Old Ones.)

[Finback]

The Oath of the Southern Cross, aka the 'kin oath mate.

They had a warlord in VGtM, in the section that had all the NPC versions of player archetypes. It may be getting prepped for an actual release. Or that may be wishful thinking.

Paladin of Cthulhu

It was obvious from the start that they would run down the base classes first before diving into the deep end of completely new class(es).

If I were to bet, I'd bet on a witch hunter oath and an undead hunter oath. Those two seem to match a theme they have going with the cleric and druid.
