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.

 

[TwoSix]

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.

Thanks for the info. Moves it from a maybe to a no, so definitely helpful.

 

[Yaarel]

Lot of feats. Origin ones for the factions, general feats that build on those, plus
feats for the five settings and epic boons.

How do the feats relate with the backgrounds?

In a world of Resurrection spells, that is easy to ret-con.

How do the feats relate with the backgrounds?

18 backgrounds, 8 of them have a new origin feat attached. Those 8 origin feats have a General feat that needs the origin feat as a prerequisite.

So, some backgrounds come with a specific feat. But other backgrounds let you choose the feat?

Did the Knowledge domain change much from the Unearthed Arcana article?

No, all backgrounds come with a specific feat, like in the PHB. The 10 regional feats just use PHB origin feats, while the Faction ones use new origin feats in the book.

Their Mind Magic feature only works on Divination spells on their extended list now, and their level 6 feature that gave them their Wis Score as a floor for Int checks has changed to having Int Save proficiency instead.

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?

The map covers basically the 1e/2e era maps - basically all of Faerûn outside the very southernmost coastal areas like Halruaa and Liuren (which get arrows and mentions, though).

 

[Chaltab]

Which one?
