Now, we arrive at the beginning. We’re going to start looking at the classes and subclasses in the Expert Classes Unearthed Arcana. That means, for these purposes, we’re looking at the Bard, the Ranger, and the Rogue. It’s also noted that the Artificer is an Expert, but it wasn’t in the 2014 rulebooks.

We’re back for part two of this very, very large undertaking. If you didn’t start with Part One, well, I’m not your boss, read these in whatever order you want to read them.
