The spellbook for the wizard is woefully lacking, and dying has no penalty apart from having to respawn at the beginning of the dungeon floor. Abilities are arranged in a set of rather short skill trees and regenerate by cooldowns instead of the usual resting mechanic. Standard classes like the Druid, Monk, and Barbarian (just to name a few) and standard races like half-orcs and gnomes are absent, and characters you create can't multi-class, though they can sometimes acquire skills typical of another class. Unless you have a DM (more on that later), all skill checks are made in the background. Clicking on an enemy will have your chosen character launch attacks continuously, interrupted only by activating spells and special attacks hotkeyed on your quickbar.īy that definition, Sword Coast Legends won't be the direct D&D adaptation you might be expecting. You control a party of four class-based adventurers of various familiar races, alignment, and deity of choice who must spelunk through dungeons, defeat bandits, goblins, and the undead, and do pretty much what you expect out of a standard D&D campaign set in world of Forgotten Realms. But before we delve into the number of ways it differs from classic D&D, let's get our bearings straight first.Īs a fantasy RPG with active round-based combat, Sword Coast Legends actually fits somewhere in the spectrum between Dragon Age: Origins and Neverwinter Nights. However, since the game boasts in its official description that it attempts to recapture “the time-tested magic of playing Dungeons & Dragons as a shared storytelling experience,” it somewhat shoots itself in the foot when it comes to expectations. Ambush Trigger!-In combination with the Ambush Modifier, this will allow you to stage ambushing NPCs that will only appear and attach should a player stumble over the placed ambush trigger.Much of your opinion on Sword Coast Legends will rely on how literal you believe the game should translate the rules of the traditional pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons (namely 5th Edition rules) into the equally traditional mechanics of a fantasy-based video game.DM "Tricks"-triggers that bestow curses upon your adventurers!.DM "Treats"-Triggers that bestow blessings upon your adventurers!.Character Modifiers-When creating a monster or NPC, you will have access to a new category of "Character Modifiers" to help spruce up and individualize your character in new ways.A placeable (and, yes ThugraKhotan, a deletable) Beholder enemy!.

This is the first and only mod that I personally recommend for everyone. FreeDM leaves all of standard SCL intact, while removing some of the shackles on the DMs. Other mods, such as my SCL-R and Mad.Hatter's SCLNext have sought to bring some fundamental re-balances or even redesigns to SCL. FreeDM is a modification with the sole purpose of removing some of the base limitations that DMs have, without fundamentally altering the game itself.
