Weekly Unearthed Arcana...

Is this good news or bad?

Will 5e optimization finally take off?

Have the net sneak attackers and bugbear spearmen with 20ft range finally opened up the proverbial can of worms?

  ...  ... if this means what it says :

Every monday a new Unearthed Arcana! Next will be 3 different Barbarian options made by @JeremyECrawford @mikemearls #DnD @GameholeCon


... then we'll have 150 new Barb options by this time next year.

It's all test material.  The fact that they're going to throw out a lot of stuff and see what works out seems indicative of a player-focused book in the next year or two.

Remember even with all the UA we've seen, only the Storm Sorcerer and Swashbuckler have made it to print so far.
