Here my votes!

1. not_a_fish's The Green Fairy
2. BetweenComments's The Brewmaster
3. Lvl45DM!'s College of the Public

Special mention to Itsfrank's Path of the Bartender, i like the grab-and-throw feature a lot!

For the next contest my preferences are:

1. it's Technical
2. So You Don't Have To

[Breccia]

My votes:

1) There was no chance at all I was going to pass on the Brewmaster for first place. Concentration is such a rigid mechanic, that I enjoy any class/subclass feature that attempts to extend it.
2) It was a tougher call, but in the end, Patron: the Green Fairy
3) just barely beat out Path of the Bartender. I think they both had solid game mechanics and, quite frankly, the Bartender sounds like fun.

Special note: I would like to thank BerzerkerUnit for being the one to go with "pub games" instead of alcohol. I applaud the creativity and expanding the scope of the contest, even if it wasn't one of my top picks. So...how bad would it be to ask for them to be disqualified, solely for the reason that their subclass might work better in another contest? "Calling Card" perhaps? You're not allowed to enter the same (sub)class twice, so if they were disqualified from this one, they could be entered into another? It feels like metagaming to ask, but still.

Hey cool I got some votes! Thanks guys!

Here's mine. I'll try commentary again.
1. Bouncer- Love tap is too cool. I think this bouncer guy and my bartender guy would just work so great together!
2. Oath of the chaperone- I'm a sucker for paladins and barbarians. A different kind of protector!
3. Bootlegger- I couldn't imagine a better smuggler type.

Themes
1. Hold the line
2. From zero to hero

This was tricky - I liked some part of all the entries - but I think my final ranking is:
1. Public Bard
2. Path of the Bartender
3. Brewmaster

For the themes:
1. Calling Card
2. So you don't have to

[animorte]

Subclass Votes:
1. Path of the Bartender - Throwing an enemy at another enemy is such a fun mechanic
2. The Brewmaster - This is what the Alchemist should have been, literally brewing all forms of spells into liquid.
3. The Green Fairy - You made the first Warlock subclass that actually brings the patron to life in some way through the class.

Honorable mention goes to Bouncer because of Love Tap being incorporated through the entire class.
