Eberron...is it worth picking -up?

[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3367077, member: 2477"] I think it gets overstated some in the rulebook though, and I'd prefer that the "shades of grey" was more about having more Neutrals. A lot of the races have Usually Evil or such, so there's plenty of non-evil types mixed in, I think it'd be easier to say in Eberron you reduce the Always to Usually, Usually to Commonly (or whatever) rather than just dutching racial alignments entirely. I think the Core book is actually opposite the theme of "more gray" though. Anyone that seems good is Good, and their enemies are Evil. (Sure, Boranel is Good, but do his enemies, who want to go away from hereditary leadership have to be evil?) Most of the races also tend to stick to Core Alignments also. (I'd prefer a certain Vampire to be LN for instance.) For myself I've never had a big problem with Alignment, so it's not a big deal to me. I think you can have folks confronting Good without being Evil, and they can be self-proserving or greedy without being Evil also. But, I do like having Evil monsters that you can slaughter with impugnity as well. :) [/QUOTE]
