| Mar 10, 2021 at 15:33 | comment | added | NotArch | @BillyMailman Tasha's is entirely optional, not core . | |
| Mar 10, 2021 at 15:30 | comment | added | Billy Mailman | They're new magic items added with Tasha's, just as official as any magic item in Xanathar's, the DMG, etc. I've added an answer with the relevant details, including links on D&D Beyond and a basic description of what they do. The tl;dr though is that they're just 'Rod of the Pact Keeper, but for X', with different things replacing the Pact Magic slot restoration. | |
| Mar 10, 2021 at 15:27 | comment | added | NotArch | @BillyMailman are those updates as official or optional? I'm also not sure I want to get into with the answer how wotc determines balance. It's fairly suspect. | |
| Mar 10, 2021 at 15:14 | comment | added | Billy Mailman | @NautArch Tasha's added items equivalent to the Rod of the Pact Keeper for the other caster classes. Evidently, this idea was at least balanced enough for WotC themselves to go with it. Even if you disagree, it's probably worth updating the answer to reflect the new items' existence. | |

| May 9, 2020 at 12:05 | comment | added | NotArch | @odo I'm honestly not sure what the reason is that only warlocks get something like this. But the fact that there aren't other options is telling. Maybe it's the volume of spell slots? That's just a guess, tho. | |
| May 9, 2020 at 4:12 | comment | added | user60913 | @NautArch Do you believe that giving a warlock a +2 Rod of the Pact Keeper (rare) is unbalanced considering it gives +2 to spell attack rolls, spell saving throw DC, and an additional spell slot? Or rather, What is it about the Sorcerer that makes a similar benefit unbalanced? | |

| Oct 19, 2017 at 20:54 | comment | added | Pliny | A homebrew item that increases spell save (+1 very rare, +2 legendary) slightly for a specific school but requires attunement, dies nit seem imbalanced. | |
