Jack,

If you have info on the Eladrin, Devas, Goliaths, or Genasi we'd LOVE to hear about it!

How many pages are given to chapters 1 and 5?

Also, if you know anything about the setting, tell us the first thing about the book that really struck you (either as different or as well done, something like that).

Yours,
Lord Dreadman

Do they go over region by region with background feats like the FRPG?

So far the new Eberron stuff looks like it is going to be filled with exciting material to place in my games. Thanks for the updates Jack!

- House Orien's mark in 3rd edition allowed for some limited in-combat teleporting (dimension leap). The new plan for marks seems to be giving enhancements to abilities rather than granting new abilities. How's that playing out for Orien? Does the Mark of Passage feat grant any non-ritual based teleportation? How about the Orien Swiftblade paragon path?
Mark of passage gives a +1 bonus to all shifts and teleports granted by a power. The Orien Swiftblade has quite a few teleport powers, including a daily that lets you attack, teleport to another target, attack and then teleport again to a third target and attack that.

Mechanical what? If you mean mechanical constructs, then yes, quite a few dailies are like that. He summons an elemental spirit and binds it to the object, animating it (works like a summon, mechanical-wise)

Well then. That basically confirms this will be the best book of 4th edition. Good to know

Prescient Bard is almost a perfect fit for a class Hellcow had made with the Kalashtar in mind (the thoughtsinger). I kind of expected the psion leader to give me that option but it seems it's been here for over a month now

Devas: Former allies of the couatls in the old battles against the demons and rashakas, persisting despite the couatls being long gone.

Eladrins: Have always been there, but kept to themselves, only coming out of their 7 great cities when they occasionally world-falled. But after the Day of Mourning, they found themselves severed from the Feywild and stuck on Eberron. From what I read, they are still trying to get back.

Goliath: Originate from Xen'drik, but left when the giants rose to power. They exist as always, spread out in the mountains, living as they always have, with traditions etc etc.

Genasi are extremely rare and no one knows what they are, not even themselves! They could be everything from dwarves warped by the volcanic eruptions of the fist of Onatar or creations of the Arcane Congress. They have no homeland and live on the frindge of society.

19 and 38.

You get associated skills, depending on your region of origin. From those associated skills, you pick one to get a +2 bonus to, or to add to your class skill list. And yes, they go over region by region.

So the PHB2 system then, rather than emulating the (somewhat overpowered) FR and SoW options.

For Immediate Release:

Today , like the cut from a long lost vorpal sword, EN World member Jack99 replaced entire Dungeons & Dragons marketing and PR teams with his early spoiling of the Eberron Players Guide and E2: Kingdom of the Ghouls.

When asked for comment D&D Senior Brand Manager Scott Rouse was quoted as saying " at first I thought something was rotten in Denmark until I realized the cheesy smell was actually the smell of freshly minted Euros and Greenbacks" Rouse went onto to say that if Jack99 kept it up he'd have to start updating his resume.

Jack99 could not be found for comment as it is believed he is currently somewhere in the future picking up the yet undisclosed campaign setting for 2011.

Thanks for giving us these tidbits, Jack.

I would be very interested in seeing a full example of a dragonmark. Are there still least, lesser, greater, and sibyris marks? What about aberrant marks?

Sorry, my spelling is horrible, but if I'm remembering correctly (but I could be wrong) 3.5 Artificers has something similar to a familar but it was a construct (it looked mechanical in the pictures I remember), i was asking if there was something similar to them in the book

Whatcha gunna do now Rouse? I have a space in my game.

Back on topic, can we hear a bit more about E2? Perhaps just the names of New monsters / magic items therein.

This bit of fluff was established in 3E.

Dragonborn form Argonessen? Well that's to be expected. Granted they already detailed Argonessen in the last edition but it really makes sense.

Any word on Tieflings?
