Dungeons & Dragons: Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything (D&D Rules Expansion book): 1 (Dungeons & Dragons )

Product Information

The final subsection, " Sudden Change" says characters could have an immediate subclass change. Does this mean immediately when a character would gain a new subclass feature, or at any time at all? Having exhausted our analysis of the rules themselves, we can conclude...that they are at least unclear if not contradictory. While I believe that one should make every effort to understand RAW first, when it is clear that multiple interpretations are possible, my next priority is assessing which interpretation best supports fun at my table.

I believe that you should always attempt to understand the rules as written first. Looking at this section of TGtE, we find that...

Crusher movement is once per turn, so the bit about monks getting extra mileage isnt very accurate.

At higher levels, you and your party gain a boost to initiative rolls. You also can use your reaction to deal force damage when you or a nearby ally succeeds on intelligence, wisdom, or charisma saves. At Level 20 you gain truesight and a slew of benefits batting extraplanar beings. Ranger – Fey Wanderer You also gain the use of psychic blades; essentially soul-powered daggers that can be thrown or used as finesse weapons. As you level these blades grow in power, and you gain other options like invisibility. Sorcerer – Aberrant Mind I present rogues as a use case for why I would break from the guidance given in the book. Rogue subclasses have a huge gap in features. Once a rogue gets their first subclass features at 3rd level, they don't get another until 9th level.Anyone studying to be a Psi Warrior would do well to embrace the power of telekinesis, the ability to move things with your mind—and even use that power to shove creatures with your mental force. Combine this feat with a variant human who gains a feat at 1st-level to represent a character born with latent psychic power! Telepathic Akin to the Fey Touched feat mentioned earlier, a character might gain the Shadow Touched feat from being lost in the drab and ghastly landscape of the Shadowfell. In addition to improving one of your ability scores, you also gain the ability to cast invisibility, as well as another shadowy spell. Skill Expert How exactly do the rules on changing your subclass from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything work? How do they interact with one another (or not)?

at level 7, the swarm can lift you up to give you a flying speed of 10 feet for one minute. As you level, the swarm’s ability to do damage and move creatures grows as well. At level 15 you can become one with the swarm, allowing your to give yourself resistance to damage after you’ve already been hit. Rogue – Phantom This domain is pretty self-explanatory. Peace clerics oversee peace treaties and calm conflicts between warring nations. Their spell list is full of support options like sanctuary, beacon of hope, and greater restoration. The College of Creation centers on the “Song of Creation,” the primeval harmonies that pre-exist the known world. These bards draw on this song using art, music, and poetry. Feats and multiclassing are both optional rules presented in the Player’s Handbook that allow a player to give their character gain powers normally inaccessible to their class, and to give their character narrative depth and nuance through new mechanics. Some gaming groups use both optional rules for maximum customizability, while other groups allow one, the other, or neither, to keep their game simpler or more focused.On the other hand, if you have a table of "Storytellers", a change at any time is fine, as long as it connects to the character and plot arcs you are creating. Allowing the change to coincide with an important dramatic event can even reinforce the player's connection to their character concept. In this case, you are likely using "Story-based advancement" (DMG 261) anyway, so the events that justify their "Sudden change" are also likely to be level breaks as well - although you can safely ignore whether or not the new level comes with a subclass feature.
