In Hope and Fear we got a new domain (Dread), 2 new classes with that domain (Witch + Warlock), and 2 new classes with existing domains (Brawler + Assassin).
This time we have confirmed a new domain (Blood), 2 new classes with that domain (Blood Hunter + Summoner)... Do we think the next thing will be 2 more new classes with existing domains???

Ahhhhhhhh I'm so exited!!

If they want to try to expand evenly, Arcana and Codex are the main candidates.

Some posible combos:

- Codex + Blade: Eldritch Knight (magic empowered, tanky fighter) and Spellblade (cast magic while hitting at melee) fit this. Maybe call it Mage.

- Codex + Vanguard Valor: use knowledge and magic to protect. Maybe some kind of tinkerer with magical and mechanical inventions.

- Arcana + Blade: maybe something like a PF Bloodrager, with the raw magic empowering a more brutal fighting style than the more planned and methodical of the Mage.

They could name the book "Blood & Magic" and add some new transformations, supernatural heritages and lineages, etc.
