WotC has posted two previews from the upcoming Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything — the barbarian’s Path of Wild Magic and the warlock’s Genie patron. You can download them both as PDFs.
My caudron, it is full of beesThat's a good sign the Wild Soul Barbarian made the cut from Unearthed Arcana, while an interesting idea it was a very niche idea and very much a hard sell for a Barbarian subclass. That might be a good sign for the Astral Monk and the Swarmkeeper Ranger making the cut.
It didn't. The version that made it through unchanged was the second version, which had major revisions from the first. So it's actually the opposite. Not that it went through without tweaks, but that the tweaks were significant enough that they had to publish a playtest a second time.
Yeah, unlikely either will show in the games I'm running or playing in. I do like the genie pact though. I did create a walorck pact based on the shiar but I feel like this is more fun.Nice to see that they've released these for free, I guess. I'm probably not going to use either of these anytime soon, so it doesn't effect me.
I like the theme of both of these, but these won't end up in my campaigns, most likely.Yeah, unlikely either will show in the games I'm running or playing in. I do like the genie pact though. I did create a walorck pact based on the shiar but I feel like this is more fun.
I would love to see a new warlock option, beyond tome, chain and weapon (sorry about the terms, I don't have my books with me). A little more variety in that area would be nice.
Sure enough. I missed that line. Yeah it’s nice but not outrageous at all. I still am interested in this subclass...
I liked the warlock, I can see it have a lot of story and roleplay involved. I would think many people would take the ring over something larger that may get stolen though.
Yeah, new pact gift was a good idea, but it's actually a terribad thing for a PC, since all it's powers go to the wearer, who does not need to be the warlock.Well, the Class Variant UA had the new Pact of the Talisman... it didn't impress me much (I seem to recall you could lend it to others? I forgot what it did) but it might have gotten a revision and be in the book.
