Not surprised, I think the the opinion that it was overpowered was widely held.

Yeah, but they could have toned it down rather than cut it completely. It'd be nice to have something that boosted Help. It's a really handy niche for a npc when you've got only a couple of players and the GM provides an extra quasi-party-member to help out, but doesn't want to steal the spotlight.

As well as Devil's Sight you could use it to pick up Eldritch Mind, which gives you advantage on all concentration saves.

Wouldn't Warcaster be more useful than spending a feat on Eldritch Mind?

True, that would usually be better. Is their any situation where you would have to make a concentration check as a result of something other than damage? Otherwise, the only advantage is the ability to swap the power for a different one (unless you have warlock levels OC). Devil's Sight remains a powerful option for anyone who can cast Darkness.

Lot of good stuff that I would use here though Tasha comes across like a high school queen bee which grates a little.
Puzzles are good but my players will probably read this which will give them a clue even after adapting

If it's an NPC they don't have to follow class rules, the DM can give them anything they like.

Expert Sidekicks get a bonus action help.

Don't Expert sidekicks still get a Help-boost? I really like the notion of a purely sidekicky sidekick, who just dodges and helps.

And I'm really intrigued over what the backstory of the "villainous Master of the Bakers Guild" with his bullywug guardian in a rapidly-moving carriage might be, as illustrated in the Group Patrons section. Is he attempting to escape the city after plotting to commit mass murder with poisoned cookies or the like?

That or said Master of Baker's Guild is speeding off to finally confront and kill his rival who is the Master of The Beer Brewer's Guild.

Great Book. So much Player materials and I love the fixes to Spells/Features like Summons and Beast Master. 8D

I like the book but honestly was hoping for a little more customization options.

It was on Beyond last night at 9pm PST, but it's not on roll20 until 10am PST today. weird. Also, the character options slider bar isn't enabled yet in Beyond.
