What’s more proper than a witch with their cauldron?

And who is a more famous witch in the world ofDungeons & Dragonsthan Tasha?

One of the more recent additions includes the sixth-level spell, Tasha’s Bubbling Cauldron.

All four of the Sorcerer subclasses spread out in a collage.

But not all spells will be worth a sixth-level spell slot.

So which potions should you create?

Potions made with this spell will disappear when you cast the spell again.

So creating a stockpile is not an option.

Are you expecting a brawl?

Are you the only caster in a party of martial fighters, barbarians, and monks?

Then a cauldron full of Potions of Growth would do wonders.

You’re free to pick whatever colors you want, opting for fashion, social sway, or camouflage.

With enough potions for the whole party, this can make a world of difference for sneaking around.

Consider pairing it with Pass Without A Trace for even better stealth.

It deals 4d6 fire damage, which is pretty impressive for a bonus action.

While its 13 DC isn’t very high, it still deals half damage on a successful save.

3Potion Of Greater Healing

Heal for 4d4+4 hit points

This will yield seven to nine potions.

So we’re looking at as much as 36d4+36 health, between 72 and 180 health restored.

And with the freedom of who gets that healing when, there’s a ton of value here.

Potions of Resistance, as the name implies, grant resistance to a damage pop in for one hour.

This is generally for elemental effects like fire, thunder, ice, etc.

But a gracious DM might also allow for types like Slashing or Psychic.
