I was reading through the magic items section of Tasha's Cauldron, and I've noticed that every spellcasting class seems to get an item to bump up their save DCs except for Warlock. I thought I must have missed it, so I read through a couple more times, and I'm still not seeing anything to that effect. Even Paladin and Ranger get one each, and Bard gets two! Unless there's already an item like this for Warlocks, this seems like a huge oversight.
Warlocks already have Rod of the Pact Keeper so did not need one added.
Yeah, that was my first thought when reading through the new magic items, they had given the other full-casters their own versions of Rod Of The Pact Keeper. I like that they did so, and I think the buffs they give to each of their respective classes are all very on-brand and useful.
I agree. For warlocks, it was a nice way to make sure they aren't wasting spell slots, since an enemy saving against even one of them is huge. If all the other casters can get the same bonus, despite not having the drawbacks a warlock has, that doesn't seem fair.
Keep in mind that everything in Tasha's is explicitly optional, and the DM is ultimately in control of the availability of magic items. If a player wants one of these items, they may either be S.O.L., or the DM might require them to take on an appropriately difficult quest to justify the boon. Just adjust the rarity according to your needs.

Oh, duh, of course. I completely forgot about that.

not sure i feel about full casters getting +DC to their spells, it was ok with warlocks as they had limited spells in a fight to use it with.
