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

[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 6755712, member: 6801060"] The point about it being useful for characters playing the hardcover adventures is a very major point a lot of people have overlooked. Since all of the adventures have been set in the region, people playing D&D for the first time or combing back for the new edition will, in many cases, be playing them but also will be unfamiliar with the background setting. SCAG gives them and their DMs a lot of useful background information to run the campaigns in a more well-rounded manner, without diluting it by making the book a full FRCS (where the information would be buried among a lot of other info that is relatively useless to them). Now, for them, when one of the adventures mentions a random deity or that an NPC is from a certain place, SCAG will fill them in (for the most part). And it will allow players to develop fuller backgrounds for their characters for the adventures. [/QUOTE]
