Dungeons & Dragons: Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything (D&D Rules Expansion book): 1 (Dungeons & Dragons )

Product Information

Creature type. You are a humanoid. You determine your appearance and whether you resemble any of your kin. If your table is in between, or has a mix of different playstyles from different players, consider how imposing or relaxing the subclass feature level requirement will affect the fun of both the specific player involved, and the rest of the table. This domain is pretty self-explanatory. Peace clerics oversee peace treaties and calm conflicts between warring nations. Their spell list is full of support options like sanctuary, beacon of hope, and greater restoration. Waiting for a level up is how I would first express this to the player. If they felt that was too long to wait, I would of course see how we could work a transition even sooner. What about rogues?

As with the Psi Warrior, the Rune Knight is another highly anticipated part of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. This subclass can create magical runes that enhance their gear. You gain in number runes you know by your fighter level up to a maximum of 5. These runes allow you to essentially enchant mundane items. The benefits of these runes vary, with many buffs to sight and saving throws. This interesting archetype is based on the concept of a barbarian that is infused with the power of wild magic. Due to the barbarian’s rage, their emotional state makes them susceptible to the forces of natural magic. Narratively, on the other hand, it might seem odd to say that a character can encounter "an entity or a place of overwhelming power, beauty, or terror" only at certain pre-determined level breaks. The three specific examples given of circumstances in which a GM might allow a "Sudden change" are all plot-driven, and there is certainly a disconnect with saying that such events matter only if they coincide with the steady progression in class ability measured by experience points. Here it appears that the circumstances around which a "Sudden change" is justified also argue for allowing the change at any level. This is a mighty skill for any adventurer to have, but it’s especially useful for bards, rogues, and any other talented expert that might be lovingly called a “skill monkey.” By granting you proficiency in an extra skill and expertise in any skill you’re proficient in, it makes you a master of whatever craft you choose to specialize in. Slasher The final subsection, " Sudden Change" says characters could have an immediate subclass change. Does this mean immediately when a character would gain a new subclass feature, or at any time at all?The other stand out for me is Piercer;any DEX-build martial with a Shortbow or Longbow and a Spear or Rapier gets a pretty significant damage boost. I can see Rangers or Kensei Monks especially getting alot of benefitout of this with their other bonuses ( Hunter's Mark or Swift Quiver for the Ranger, Kensei features and Ki-fuelled strike for the Kensei).

Instead of choosing one of the game's races for your character at 1st level, you can use the following traits to represent your character's lineage, giving you full control over how your character's origin shaped them: The higher level features include the ability to turn the dead into healing or damage dealing spectral fires. You can also sacrifice your spirit when you hit zero HP and regain half your hit points instead. Fighter – Psi Warrior The second scenario is when I would use the "Sudden Change" guidance. If we are nearing a level up, and my player says "I want to change subclasses", I don't have time to work in significant plot build-up to the change, so I will opt for something like is suggested in this section at the next level up.

The fey theme continues at Level 7, where you gain advantage against being charmed or frightened. Eventually you learn to cast misty step almost at will and you can summon fey to do your bidding. Ranger – Swarmkeeper These are optional rules. As it says at the beginning of Chapter 1, one of the options featured in the chapter is (p. 7; emphasis mine): More psionics! this time, you even get a spellcaster with some psionic powers. the Aberrant Mind sorcerer gains psionic spells and telepathic speech at level 1. At level 6, you can use sorcery points to cast a spell instead of slots. As you level, you gain resistance to psychic damage and advantage against being charmed or frightened.
