🧪 "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything" was inspired by the iconic D&D character Tasha, also known as Iggwilv, who first appeared in 1982 and is famous for her trademark spell "Tasha's Hideous Laughter." 🎲 The book introduced the groundbreaking "Custom Origin" rules, which allow players to break away from traditional racial ability score restrictions, making D&D more flexible and inclusive. 📚 This sourcebook contains the largest collection of new subclasses (30 in total) since the release of Xanathar's Guide to Everything in 2017. 🌟 The book features the Artificer class, marking the first time this popular character option from the Eberron setting became officially available for all D&D campaign settings. 🎨 The cover art by Magali Villeneuve depicts Tasha herself, and hidden within the artwork are several Easter eggs referencing her complex history, including her connection to Baba Yaga and her time as Iggwilv.
