Where is this from, if you don't mind?

 

[Lord of Nessus]

He looks similar to his original depiction. If a bit more regal.

Edit:Just learned that Bel is CR 25.

Is that his CR in Descent to Avernus, or is that from another source?

Decent. I asked one of the people doing the previews how he differed form a normal pit fiend. And his CR was brought up.

I was impressed I thought he would be CR 21 or 22. But he is still on the Level of an Archduke.

Oh sorry. It was one of the images shown off during the live streams and previews and such.

Is there actually anything decent in Avernus? #skeptical

You can get a pretty decent kebab at certain back alley stalls in the Bronze Citadel.

But you would get mad poisoning. Rot grubs would nest in your intestines.

I thought they had converted the video games and I was like woot! Then i saw.

Just don't ask the exact source of the ingredients...

So, the Background section is mostly alternative features and tables for the existing Backgrounds, with one new one: Masked Hero, that is, Batman/Zorro/Scarlet Pimpernel. Badass.

That is cool. I'm also looking forward to the other backgrounds like Lost Heir, Backstage Pass, Social Vengence, Flaming First/The Watch, True City, Guide, Paitarch, Religious Community (Acolyte really needed an updated feature, outside of Waterdeep it was unless for almost all the Gods, as only a couple had temples in any given adventure area, and some adventures had no temples, making it useless).

These backgrounds actually give BG: DiA a half descent, if small Player content.

Also does anyone else recognize that picture of BGs Habour? That is right it is perfectly depicted in BG3 trailer, like dead on.

My understanding is that none of those are fully-fledged backgrounds, just replacement / variant background features for existing backgrounds (like what we got in a few of the earlier adventures, like HotDQ and OotA).
