When it comes to Dungeons and Dragons live plays, few shows have managed to reach quite the level of popularity as Critical Role. The all-star cast of talented voice actors have put together two campaigns that both managed to become incredibly important to the modern DnD community.

Like most tables, the Critical Role group uses a handful of house rules and plenty of homebrew settings, items, and even subclasses to make the tabletop RPG their own. Although some of the Critical Role custom items and subclasses have already become official thanks to The Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, two additional Dungeons and Dragons homebrew subclasses are also available on DnD Beyond now.

Before diving into the details, consider this a bit of a spoiler warning for campaign two. One of the subclasses reveals a multi-class choice made by one of the players, so fans of the show who want to avoid that type of mechanical (and plot) spoiler should stop reading here until they are all caught up.

As of last week, Matt Mercer finalized two new subclasses that can be selected by players who have opted to turn on the Critical Role content for their characters. First is the Way of the Cobalt Soul, a new Monk subclass that is used by Marisha Ray's character Beauregard.

The second new subclass, which may be considered a slight spoiler, is the Oath of the Open Sea. This Paladin subclass is inspired by the oath that Fjord takes in campaign two.

Each of the new subclasses offer some exciting options for DnD players to explore as they level up their Monks or Paladins. Previous subclasses designed by Mercer, including the Echo Knight and two new Wizard subclasses were all well-received. Some of Mercer's subclasses can tend to be slightly overpowered, so it will be interesting to see how the Oath of the Open Sea and the Way of the Cobalt Soul work out in the hands of non-Critical Role cast members.

The Explorer's Guide to Wildemount offers players everything they need to start an adventure in the official campaign two setting, but obviously these subclasses could be used in any campaign where the DM allows them. There's no need to use them only in Exandria.

Now that Rime of the Frostmaiden is in the wild, players can start looking forward to the final DnD book of 2020: Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. Tasha's Cauldron will arrive a bit closer to the holiday season, in late November, so that gives players plenty of time to play through Rime of the Frostmaiden while they wait.

Dungeons and Dragons: Icewind Dale Rime of the Frostmaiden releases everywhere on September 15, 2020.
