Dungeons & & Dragons is getting a brand-new book of rules, subclasses, and mechanics this fall, Wizards of the Coast announced on Monday. The book, entitled Tashas Cauldron of Whatever, follows in the tradition of 2017s Xanathars Guide to Everything, including fresh gameplay options to the existing setting instead of a brand-new setting.
Like Xanathars Guide, Tashas Cauldron presents its content with commentary, observations, and snark of a storyteller character. This time, instead of a floating crime boss with numerous eyestalks, its the developer of Tashas Hideous Laughter who acts as the guide.

Tashas Cauldron wont have any new classes, however will rather provide a collection of new subclasses for every single released class in 5th edition. These subclasses are all drawn from the thoroughly play-tested Unearthed Arcana column on the D&D site. There will be new spells also– consisting of a minimum of one designed by Tasha herself– and magic items to drop into your video game.
For those behind the screen, Tashas Cauldron will have a section for Dungeon Masters with magical environments and setting-agnostic puzzles. Fans will also see the return of the group patrons principle– non-player characters who fund and direct adventurers– from Eberron: Rising from the Last War, however de-Eberron-ed for any setting.

Tashas Cauldron wont have any brand-new classes, however will instead use up a collection of new subclasses for every published class in 5th edition. There will be brand-new spells as well– consisting of at least one created by Tasha herself– and magic items to drop into your video game.
Tashas Cauldron of Everything will be launched on Nov. 17, and will include cover art by Magali Villeneuve. An alternate (and supposedly Easter egg-filled) cover will be readily available only in stores with art by Wylie Beckert.
The most intriguing and important statement about Tashas Cauldron is a brand-new and extensive set of rules for character development. Tashas Cauldron offers an alternate set of character production rules that will do simply that. While the character development guidelines are still offered in 2014s Players Handbook for anyone who wants to utilize them, Tashas will decouple race and origin from their 5th edition mechanics.
