The team at n-Space has released Community Pack One for Sword Coast Legends, which introduces companion-specific skill trees, 150+ new placeable objects and 100+ new monster abilities for Dungeon Masters, item stashes, and more. The full patch notes:
Companion Skill Trees: Players who complete the various SCL companion quests within the player campaign will gain access to unique companion specific skill trees for use on their characters.
The new trees include: Necromancy, Carouser, Stalker, Minion of the Dark, Favored of Sehanine, Shield Bearer, and Deception.
Note: There are slight differences to these trees to avoid duplicate abilities.
Note: A tree is only available if the player’s character is the same class as the companion. For example, you have to be a cleric to get Illydia’s tree, or a Wizard to get Hommet’s tree.
Note: These new trees are tied to achievements, so anyone who has already done them will be able to immediately use these new trees.
Note: These trees will remain unlocked on a player’s account once they gain access to it.

Ability Respec: Players will now be able to reset their character’s abilities. for a price.
By visiting the Retraining Dummy, players will be presented with a menu that has each of their unlocked Party Members along with the price to reset that character’s abilities.
As re-specialization is a major decision for every hero, refunding one’s abilities will currently cost 500 gold per ability point spent (Only full refunds are available, you can’t refund a partial number of points).
The re-specialization dummy can be found Inside the Player’s Party Camp.
Player Stash: Is your bag of holding finally getting full? We have a solution!
The existing Guild Chest has now become a Stash for players. Non-quest items the character is carrying around can now be added to this stash and accessed later. The stash has a limit of 100 item slots, but no weight limit. All entitlement items will now appear in your stash when you start the game as well.
The Stash operates similarly to the Vendor UI players are already familiar with. You can double click to add and remove items from your stash. You can also now destroy items from within your stash. Note that these items will be gone FOREVER, so please use with caution.
The stash is account based, allowing players to trade items between their characters if they so wish.
Skill Rolls: Players can now roll skill checks that take their modifiers into effect.
Do you want your players to /roll DEX to jump over a fallen obstacle? Or how about allowing your fighter to /roll STR to shove the obstacle out of the way? Now you can!
Basic Roll is just /roll (rolls a single d20) but There are a multitude of different rolls that players and DMs can use in game to enhance their live roleplaying experience.
