UA: Villainous Options

 It's a new UA! And today, we have four new "villainous" subclasses. While I think you could classify a lot of darker subclasses (most of the horror subclasses) as fitting for villains, these are all very much on the malevolent or at least calamitous (in the case of the Druid) options.

The subclasses are:

The Cleric's Pestilence Domain, all about contagions and the first subclass I've seen that's built around inflicting exhaustion on creatures.

The Druid's Circle of the Titan, in which you can take on titanic forms evoking some of the most powerful giant monsters in the game, that, at higher levels, can even let you be gargantuan.

The Fighter's Hell Knight, where you inflict infernal wounds and burn your enemies, body and soul.

And the Sorcerer's Demonic Sorcery, in which the malevolent chaos of the abyss swirls around you.

There are also a pair of Feat paths that take you down the paths of the Death Knight or the Lich.

As usual, I'm going to do an analysis of each subclass in its own post.
