I just don't see why they even bothered with the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide.

[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6754764, member: 54629"] Same here. As it says on the [url=https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/sc-adventurers-guide]product page[/url]: [I]"While the [/I]Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide[I] is a valuable resource for Dungeon Masters, it was crafted with players and their characters foremost in mind."[/I] I've said it before, and I'll say it again: This is a player's guide, not a campaign setting book. Previous player's guides have had a mix of basic setting info and new character options. This book is no different. Let's also look at the marketing for it: [url=http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/scag]Spice Up Your Story[/url]. *Does the book provide [I]"players and Dungeon Masters [with] material for creating vibrant fantasy stories along the Sword Coast"[/I]? Yes, it does. *Does the book offer [I]"new subclass options ... for many of the classes presented in the [/I]Player's Handbook[I], as well as new subraces and backgrounds specific to the Forgotten Realms"[/I]? Yes, it does. *Does the book help you discover [I]"the current state of the Forgotten Realms after the Spellplague and the second Sundering"[/I]? Yes, it does. *Does the book enable you to make characters [I]"for use with the [/I]Out of the Abyss[I] adventure and fight back the influence of the demon lords in the Underdark below the Sword Coast"[/I]? Yes, although not specifically. *Does the book provide [I]"background behind locations, such as Luskan and Gracklstugh, feature in the upcoming digital RPG, [/I]Sword Coast Legends[I]"[/I]? Yes to Luskan, although [I]Out of the Abyss[/I] covers Gracklstugh in much greater detail. *Will Dungeon Masters [I]"relish a book full of mysterious locations and story hooks to keep players adventuring on the Sword Coast for years to come"[/I]? I'd certainly like to think so, but it seems like some DMs want WotC to do all the work for them. [/QUOTE]
