So it's this going to be official rules or will it be overwritten like Wayfinder's Guide to Ebberon?
Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is an official rules expansion for Dungeons & Dragons.
Was Wayfinder's Guide to Ebberon not? Does it say on the books somewhere Official or Unofficial?
The official publisher's publishing a book that's not official really confuses me.
Mixed messages...maybe you can understand my confusion.
All of the material here is presented for playtesting and to spark your imagination.
The game mechanics are in draft form, usable in your campaign but not refined by final game design and editing. They aren’t officially part of the game and aren’t permitted in D&D Adventurers League events. If Wizards of the Coast decides to make this material official, it will be refined based on your feedback and then appear in a D&D book. (Printed in a book published in multiple formats by Wizards of the Coast about D&D.)
Does this come with new Digital dice?
My apologies; I can't give you the authoritative answers you're looking for. Generally speaking, Unearthed Arcana playtest material is presented to the public for playtesting before it can be refined to appear in a hardcover product (or that hardcover's digital release).
Every book published by WoTC is official. Some are not available to Adventurers League though.
Asked for it as a Christmas present
Thasha´s Cauldron Of Something (THACOS)
Three days till' release! Really excited!
AAAAAAAHH MY LOCAL BOOKSTORE IS CLOSED ON TUESDAYS NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tasha's Hexed Armored Cauldron(v. 0) (THAC0)
RE: Critical hits, I've always thought that each weapon shout have it's own critical hit die. Like maybe a sword does an extra 1d6+4 damage on a crit and axes do 2d4+6 or whatever.
Yeah, that's one thing that was in 3rd edition. Swords for instance dealt a critical hit on 1 roll of 19-20 and dealt 2x damage. Axes dealt a critical on only a 20, but dealt 3x damage.
I thought it was a critical threat and you had to confirm it. That was confusing, and 5th edition is kinda supposed to be simple and quick and for people who like roleplay over number-crunching. Although 3rd/3.5 is fun.
You're right, and I think making 5e more accessible in this way was a good move. That being said, I'm sure there's quite a few of us who would love WoTC to release a book dedicated to expanding optional rules (particularly around combat) to accommodate heightened or more complex play, much like existence of D&D vs Advanced D&D for 1st Edition!
I, and I imagine many others, are apprehensive to homebrew advanced rules for fear of creating imbalance and blind spots ripe for exploitation.
There's a thing called homebrew, you can implement 3.5e weapon rules into your 5e adventures.
Are we getting the class options from Tasha's or no?
I suppose you mean the Class Feature Variants (CFV's). Yes, although they most likely will be changed in some small ways.
What time are we getting the book? 00:00?
