Here's That SCAG Table of Contents!

WotC's Extra Life charity funding campaign hit $50,000 just now, and as promised they added the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide table of contents to the already released preface. The chapters are Welcome to the Realms, The Swords Coast and the North, Races of the Realms, Classes, Backgrounds, and a two-page appendix dealing with using the aforementioned options in Dragonlance, Eberron, Greyhawk, and Homemade Worlds.

Find the preface, released yesterday, here. At $60,000, they will release a new cantrip, Greenflame Blade.

Somehow I'm not surprised that the most under-performing class with the most talked about alternatives is getting nothing new here.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to the racial variants.

The cleric has Divine Domain as opposed to Divine Domains so I guess just one new Domain. I was hoping for a few more...

so is the sorcerer, and by the sight of it, it will be the storm sorcerer...

That was mi biggest surprise, just one page of origins. Such a fun concept to play with!

Never been a fan of the Realms, but looks like I'll be picking this up at some point.

Looks like a campaign setting to me!

Sounds good, I'm a sucker for campaign settings, and since FR is the default, and I don't give two squirts about FR in general, this will definitely help me run a more cohesive game there and maybe help the PC's feel a little more connected to the place rather than seeing it as another Land of Generic Fantasy to romp around in.

Cool to see the sidebar on other settings, too! Maximum portability!

Judging by the last UA, it seems that any updates to the Ranger are still very much contentious works in progress.

I'll admit I'm in the "don't plan to run a campaign in the FR" camp, but I might pick this book up out of curiosity all the same. Most of the people in our group have at least played Baldur's Gate, and I might start using it as a setting for our one-off adventures when we aren't trying to build a complex campaign-long setting.

Yeah, I'm not big on the setting in terms of playing through it, but I like a lot of the style and material that's come up for it over the years.

That class section is such a tease. Wish it listed the subclasses.

 

[SkidAce]

What if the class section is just how these classes and archetypes fit into the Sword Coast, and not much new?

 

[GMforPowergamers]

What if the class section is just how these classes and archetypes fit into the Sword Coast, and not much new?

I would scream...

Possible, but then why aren't rangers broken out like that? It might include that as well, but I think we're looking at at least a few pages of new stuff.
