D&D General Forgotten Realms Books Tables of Contents

The Table of Contents for both Heroes of Faerun and Adventures in Faerun.

Picked the books up this morning and love what I’ve seen so far. I’ll answer whatever questions I can here.

 

[Selas]

Should be noted the printed book has an error:

Genies Splendor for the Paladin is 10+Dex+Con in the print but the Beyond version is 10+Dex+Cha.

Yep. WotC posted this on their issues thread:
BOOK ERRATA: While working the team identified that the Oath of the Noble Genies Paladin's Unarmored AC was Dexterity plus Constitution, this was incorrect and has been updated to be Dexterity plus Charisma. This will be reflected in future printings of Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn.

Any “new” species is just pointing you to Monsters of the Multiverse (for Deep Gnome and Duergar).

But isn't that book out of print? If so, that's a bit of a bad move for newer players/DM's.

 

[JPL]

Really hoping for some new info about goliaths in the Realms. I'd like something canonical to tie it into existing giant lore, and something to address these new 2024 subspecies.

 

[The Fighter-Cricket]

All praise to Mike Schley! Does anybody know how big the printed map (or maps?) will be? Is it focusing on the greater Sword Coast or is it comparable to the maps from the 3E and 4E FR campaign books?

I'm using the Order of Delvers in my current campaign, surprised they (and maybe Earthheart?) get a mention since they're pretty obscure.

They even list benefits members could get, giving you something to play with if you want your character to join them.

Still purchasable on D&D Beyond in both digital and physical versions as of today (just checked).

 

[Leatherhead]

Oh, they went back to the Banneret instead of going with the PDK.

 

[GarrettKP]

I do wonder exactly how BG3 oriented the Baldur's Gate section will be.

It is not very oriented. Almost no mention of the plot of BG3, except for some very vague stuff. Hell, it directly contradicts the plot, with a key BG NPC that canonically dies in BG3 stated to be alive still.

 

[DragonLancer]

Still purchasable on D&D Beyond in both digital and physical versions as of today (just checked).

Cool. That's good to know. MotM is one I'm trying to track down for a reasonable price.

 

[Selas]

Oh, they went back to the Banneret instead of going with the PDK.

And it turns out WotC created new lore that didn't conflict with the old one for it, but now there's no subclass for it
