Unearthed Arcana is a series of articles released by Wizards of the Coast on the Dungeons & Dragons website). It is a platform where new rules, classes, races, and other game elements are available for download and beta playtesting. Unearthed Arcana is not an official publication, but rather a playtesting platform for upcoming D&D rulesets. The material is made by Wizards of the Coast and released to the public so that it can be publicly playtested. The rules allow for class options not in the Player’s Handbook, new systems like Psionics, new feats, and items. However, it is important to note that Unearthed Arcana is not the final form of those rules, even if they are actually published in a D&D supplement. The name Unearthed Arcana is a throwback to several classic hardcover rulebooks that were released for D&D 1st and 3rd editions, both of which were collections of previously published magazine materials.
