Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide and other D&D books

I read in the blog that the SCAG is going to be released for Roll20 on December 3.  Today is December 3 and I don't see it in the marketplace. Is it going to be bundled with anything else? For those that have purchased the various books already: I have the Player's Handbook and the DMG.  I was thinking of getting Xanathar's and the SCAG but I'm wondering if I would be better off buying Tasha's Cauldron of Everything for use on Roll20.   Comments and/or suggestions would be welcome.

Products usually drop at 9 Pacific/12 Noon Eastern. Looks like DMG just went live.

I was wondering about the release of SCAG and DMG as well, but the day isn't over so maybe later . What I find strange is the lack of hype around the release, if indeed it is happening. So maybe not? Tasha's has a lot of re-hashed SCAG material in it, apparently. At some point I'll be buying Tasha's but not SCAG. But that's me. I do recommend Xanathar's. EDIT: I took too long.

One thing Tasha's doesn't have that SCAG does is the additional backgrounds, some of which are quite good.

So maybe not? They have sent email and tweeted about it, but pretty sure the promo gets really going now that they are available on the marketplace. They didn't have any marketplace pages until now, so a bit pointless to hype it too much, when they didn't have any page to direct people to buy them.

There is also the Round Table today , during which it will likely be hyped. In fact, it's entirely possible this release date was coordinated with the Round Table.

I would strongly recommend against Tasha's in its current form. It's totally incomplete, doesn't integrate with charactermancer as promised, and support has provided no information as to what's in progress or when it can be expected. Pay half the price on an alternative website with better quality

"totally incomplete "? What's missing? The ability to switch ability score bonuses was added Tuesday. What else is missing from charactermancer integration?

I still can't add the optional class features to character sheets even with drag&drop. They did mention it in their post on Tasha's before and I'm hoping we hear more in the roundtable later today.

Are you trying to add them to an existing character after the fact? I was pretty sure that I was able to add them on a fresh character. I'll have to do more testing.

The best example would be the Ranger Deft Explorer optional feature at level one. I can't see a way to choose it from the charactermancer and can't drag & drop it in after the fact with a fresh sheet (just tested it now) I've not found any examples of it working so far.

Took the plunge and our DM purchased both DMG and SCAG.   If we already have characters that used builds from SCAG,  such as Bladesingers,  how do we update our Character Sheets so that all of the features shows up?  I previously manually entered in the class traits and features.

I don't think there's a way to update it without restarting the charactermancer from scratch

The safest way would be to re-create from scratch, if you want to ensure compliance. I've done this for some characetrs I've brought forward; it doesn't take long. Pro tip: Don't worry about ability scores until you are done. Less hassle.

Also, be sure to ask your DM for a new character sheet to restart from scratch.  

For those that bought SCAG (or Tasha's), I'm looking for feedback on how the Bladesinger was implemented into Charactermancer.  Any thoughts on feedback on this?  How were class features like Bladesong implemented into the Character Sheet?  I'm currently playing a Bladesinger and wondering if having the class built into Charactermancer and the Character Sheet makes things easier than what you had set up manually.

I have Tasha's - implemented basically like you'd expect.  Bladesong is listed in Features and Traits and is added as an "other resource" for tracking uses (though you still have to manually input # of uses and manually track as you use them).  I would certainly not buy either book only for the Bladesinger subclass. -Adam

Thanks.  What about the bonuses that Bladesong gives to AC and Speed?  Is there anything that applies these bonuses when you "use" Bladesong?  Or do you still have to manually add those while in Bladesong?  Perhaps this is too much to ask of the character sheet.

Both manual.  You can use global modifiers for the AC piece.  Don't think there's one for speed. -Adam
