* MasterOfNone: Discussed in "The problem with D&D Rangers" as the core reason why Rangers are the worst class in 5E: they have a smattering of various class features, including many alternate class features, but they don't cohere very well and are often [[CripplingOverspecialization so overspecialized]] that they end up just being worse versions of other classes. Even with the post-release support and alternate features to make Rangers more generally functional, Pointy argues that they have less thematic cohesion (rather than being based on a ForestRanger, some of them seem like they belong to a general assassins or Druids with SummonMagic), on top of a general archetype that's pretty limited in potential for character creation and story.

* OurLichesAreDifferent: The point of "Which Lich" is to brainstorm a lich based on each player class. Hat lists a few necessary criteria for what makes a proper ''D&D'' lich: they have to deliberately choose being undead, they have to [[RitualMagic perform a ritual]] in order to become a lich, they need a [[SoulJar phylactery]], and they have to be an active villain who does villainous things in order to remain an immortal lich (ie, ''not'' [[OrcusOnHisThrone sitting on a throne all day waiting for the heroes to defeat them]]).

Added DiffLines:
** '''Bard:''' ''The Intoner'' achieves immortality in part through their Magnum Opus, an arcane song that is spread to be remembered by those who hear it, with those who hear it themselves becoming a phylactery ensuring the lich never dies. Upon becoming a lich, however, they become unable to perform the Magnum Opus ever again, and thus [[MindVirus have to rely on the living to continue spreading it around]], maintaining the Bard's metaphorical and very literal longevity.
Added DiffLines:
** '''Sorcerer:''' ''The Hierarch'' takes the notion of Sorcerers [[InTheBlood being defined by their bloodline]] to an extreme, undergoing an arduous ritual to bind their very souls to their blood, and thus transferring a part of their soul directly into their descendants, making them walking phylacteries and puppets. While the lich's power will diminish over generations, they rectify this by fostering a chosen heir and focusing all their magic potential into them before [[GrandTheftMe usurping their body]] and starting the bloodline anew.
