\u201c\u200cTasha\u2019s Cauldron of Everything\u201d is Wizards of the Coast\u2019s best source book\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Out of all the sourcebooks that Wizards of the Coast has written, \u201cTasha\u2019s Cauldron of Everything\u201d is the best. This book is the newest in a series of Dungeons and Dragons sourcebooks that contain narrated passages from memorable characters in D&D lore. It first began with \u201cVolo\u2019s Guide to Monsters,\u201d creating a reading atmosphere that made these characters more accessible and even playable. However, Tasha not only brings a female perspective into a male-dominated world, but also a charming personality that makes the reader feel like they\u2019re scrolling through Tasha\u2019s secret art Tumblr.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a bunch of new subclasses, making this book a secondary guide for dungeon masters and players alike. Alongside the \u201cPlayer\u2019s Handbook 5th Edition,\u201d it bumps the character creation to a new level, and helps DM\u2019s stuff a lot more tricks up their sleeve. Even though some information has been reprinted into this book, it doesn\u2019t cause too much of a problem. Considering the limited respect towards homebrew material and the lack of acceptance of Unearthed Arcana, making anything canon with a big official D&D stamp is a step towards unlimited options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With group patrons and the plethora of new spells, this book feels and reads like an actual guide, accompanying players through tons of optional class features. For someone that has been playing for years, it\u2019s refreshing to create a ranger that doesn\u2019t need to be a beast master (even though I still won\u2019t ever play one).<\/span><\/p>\n

For DM\u2019s like myself, this sourcebook is a must-buy. It literally gives readers freebies with tons of puzzle options and magic items including magical tattoos. There is even an expanded set of rules for sidekicks that\u2019ll provide entertaining twists at the table. The book also has official safeguards for DM\u2019s regarding boundaries. From Tasha herself, \u201cestablish boundaries. And if anyone crosses them, speak up. If they don\u2019t listen, there\u2019s always cloudkill\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall Review:<\/b> This article reads like an advertisement for this book, and honestly, I would do it for Wizards of the Coast for free. 10\/10 would recommend to players and DM\u2019s alike!<\/span><\/p>\n
