Adventurer's Guide to Tamriel (2E566) 0.4.2.1

Background

Three years ago, I started creating a setting sourcebook of ~210 pages for d&d 5th edition, set in the Elder Scrolls universe. Over the course of a year, I completed it, released it into the world, and gained some valuable feedback. With the Early Release of Baldur's Gate 3, I've decided to return to this setting, and adapt it for play.

This is an early build, and will no doubt be full of bugs. I'm still learning the capabilities of modding the game pre-mod tools, and I expect that I'll still be finding bugs as the game is updated and eventually released. This module includes the Human Elven races: Cyrodiils (Imperials), Breton, Nord, Redguard, Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, and Orsimer, including some subraces. It also contains new Deities, the Mage class and the Nightblade Rogue subclass. The Mage is based on the existing Wizard, this class has access to different spells, and a somewhat different class feat system.
