Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crit" data-source="post: 8130811" data-attributes="member: 7027023">"Need" is a strong word, but it is different and, in my opinion, a good choice to have available if it's what your character concept fits into. I was personally disinterested in Phantom Rogue, and some other subclasses, but I wouldn't say that they weren't niches worth filling. I'm extremely happy with Sorcerer and Artificer, for example. I feel like I'm getting more satisfaction than not, so that's my purchase justified in regards to subclasses. Aside from that, subclasses for subclasses' sake isn't a bad thing if the bulk of what we get still appeals to someone or is an idea we didn't have precedent for before. I expect to dip into each part of TCoE's chapters a bunch going forward, as a player and as a DM. I more or less bought the book for the group, so I don't doubt for a second that this book is worth every penny for our purposes. It's not been out long, but even the race-attribute freedom has opened up a lot of ideas for us, and having it as an official rule is beneficial to the community. Some DMs wouldn't allow this kind of stuff if it wasn't in a book, but now it is. I could go on about Sidekicks, parleying, Summon spell benefits and whatnot, but it's not necessary. I don't remember who said it, but this is Tasha's Cauldron of do whatever you want. As is, it now has rules that specifically open up freeing options for the broader community rather than just individual DMs take an axe to things.</blockquote>
