I don’t care what “uthgardt” rhymes with, despite what it looks like I DO shower, OK? Other thoughts & impressions of the SCAG: Wizards: 2 new Wizardly Groups 1 new Arcane Tradition notes on Mage Sigils.Warlocks: Realms-specific patron notes for existing PH Patron options 1 new Patron option.Rangers: Some flavor and race notes, but rules-wise the SCAG gives Rangers bupkis (which to me is interesting because one of the most famous Forgotten Realms characters is a ranger).Monks: 6 new Monastic Orders, 3 of which have PH equivalents 2 new Monastic Traditions.Druids: 3 new Circles that have PH equivalents rules for moonwells.Bards: 3 new Colleges that have PH equivalents 12 new musical instruments.In addition, several receive some new rules love: If you’re not likin’ me armor, my axe’ll be likin’ yer faceĪs with the races, all classes from the Player’s Handbook are present and all classes come with a nice helping of Realms-specific descriptive information. Although written with the D&D tabletop game in mind, folks that love the Forgotten Realms world in books and games would probably find a lot of things to be interested in with the SCAG. Instead it’s a blend: part campaign setting and part player’s resource. It’s also not just full of rules for new ways to customize characters. Although the SCAG does cover some lore of the Realms in general, the majority of it is, as the title suggests, all about the Sword Coast. All of them are part of Ed Greenwood’s famous Forgotten Realms D&D setting. The Sword Coast lies along the Northwestern portion of Faerûn, which is itself a continent on the world of Toril. The SCAG‘s back cover exclaims “this book provides the setting, story, and character options needed to participate in a D&D game anywhere along the Sword Coast of Faerûn.” So after spending a couple of days with the SCAG, what’s it all about? Do I like it? Would Drizzt Do’Urden salute or slash all involved? Does Ed Greenwood burst through the pages dressed like Elminster into your bedroom and puff smoke in your eyes? Read on and find out (or, alternately, watch the optional video version below)! Officially releasing November 3, 2015, some game stores in WotC’s premiere network (including my own friendly local game store) received advance copies October 23rd so I’m able to give this first look and help placate the ravening hordes until the general release. So get ready to blast off in a rocket fuelled Starfield performance preview.Wizards of the Coast’s newest D&D sourcebook (in conjunction with Green Ronin Publishing) is the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, or SCAG as I am beginning to affectionately call. We also compare the improvements over the previous showing, enhancements within the engine, and much more. The biggest question after the show(s) was: why is it 30fps on Xbox Series X and Series S and not 60fps? In this IGN Performance preview, we dive into the details shared by the team, the revealed PC minimum and recommended specifications, and how the Creation Engine 2 works, comparing the previous games to gauge some of the potential reasons why the team might have chosen 30fps. With Starfield being the center of the Xbox 2023 Showcase last week, Bethesda gave us a deep dive into one of the biggest games this generation.
