Wizards of the Coast have been hard at work, delivering part 3 of the Unearthed Arcana 2020 Subclasses a few weeks ago. This edition sees new subclasses for the Artificer, Druid, and Ranger!
As always, our Persuasion Check articles are less hardcore analysis and more commentary drawing insights and some direct analysis where needed. If you want a more flavorful approach to opinions on playtest content backed up with some insights, this is the place for you! Now, follow along and let’s dig into these subclasses!

This Month In Minis – February 2020
Another month, another This Month In Minis! Robb takes you through what he built and painted in February as well as what he’s looking forward to working on in March!
A Handful of Magic Items 16
For the sixteenth article in this series I’ve decided to focus on rings! I love magical rings and other jewelry because I feel as though they have the most opportunity before them for magical effects. For this article in particular I wanted to work on some rings to use in combat, and even more specifically ones that react to the wearer taking damage or being near death. Take a look and leave thoughts and feedback in the comments!
Ring of Death Defiance (requires attunement)
While you wear this ring and roll a 20 on a death saving throw, in addition to regaining 1 hit point you also gain 6d6 temporary hit points and exude an aura of vitality for one minute.
While exuding an aura of vitality, you gain resistance to all damage and advantage on all saving throws. If a successful saving throw would have you still take damage while exuding an aura of vitality, it instead deals no damage to you.
This Month In Minis – January 2020
Robb takes you through what he has built and painted in January, and previews what he expects to be working on in February!

A Handful of Magic Items 15
We’re at the 15th installment of A Handful of Magic Items! I wanted to focus on some non-combat oriented items (or at least, items that may be used outside of a combat) as I felt like my last few handfuls were very combat oriented. So today we have a magic monocle, a destiny-altering die, and dust of dragons with transformative effects!
Monocle of Observation (requires attunement)
As an action, the wielder can activate the Monocle of Observation granting it one of the following effects for 10 minutes when the wielder looks through it:
- Gain advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks made to follow tracks
- Gain advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to find hidden clues
- See faint auras around any visible creatures or objects that bears magic within 30 feet of the wielder, or
- Understand the literal meaning of any written language, but the wielder must touch the surface on which the words are written.
Once used, the Monocle of Observation cannot be used again until after the wielder takes a long rest.
