I am playing a druid and am wondering whether my character has seen dinosaurs. My character has lived most of his life on the Sword Coast.



Does the Sword Coast have dinosaurs, or are they from a foreign land? I am specifically interested Quetzalcoatlus by the way.

The Sword Coast probably doesn't have dinosaurs.



Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide doesn't mention dinosaurs at all. That's not decisive, as it's not an exhaustive setting book, but it is the closest thing to a "pure" setting book in the Realms we've so far seen in 5e.



Xanathar's Guide to Everything gives us some hints of where druids might see dinosaurs: plesiosaurus in the "coast" and "underwater" tables; pteranodon, allosaurus, anklyosaurus, and triceratops in the "Grassland" table; pteranodon in the "Mountain" table. So maybe you've seen a plesiosaurus on a 4th-grade whale-watching trip, or a menagerie traveling up from Calimshan had an allosaurus with it? (The "Coastal Encounters" tables include pteranodons and plesiosaurus later in that book. "Grassland Encounters" include anklyosaurus, allosaurus, pteranodons, triceratops, and even tyrannosaurus rex.) But there's nothing in 5e's literature of the Sword Coast (SCAG, Tyrrany of Dragons, Princes of the Apocalypse, Storm King's Thunder, and many modules) to suggest dinosaurs are native to that part of Faerun.



Hop a boat south, though...



and you'll arrive in Chult, which is teeming with dinosaurs. You can't spit without hitting one of those things. Take a look into Tomb of Annihilation and you'll see. Just take a look at some of the promotional art:

  • Which part is "probably not" responding to? The title asks "where are they from", and the body asks "Does the Sword Coast have dinosaurs or are they from somewhere else". You should edit to clarify which part the header is responding to.

  • @nitsua60: The "question asked" in the post body was still a pair of directly opposing questions (e.g. "Is it X, or Y?"). Just saying "probably not" still doesn't clarify which of those you're addressing, which is why it helps to avoid being too concise in your header. (The rest of the answer obviously explains what you mean, but the header is not 100% clear at a glance.)

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
