D&D Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple Coming to PAX East

A new Dungeons & Dragons adventure set in Eberron is debuting at PAX East this weekend. Wizards of the Coast has announced that D&D Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple, a new D&D adventure set in Xen’drik, will make its convention debut at PAX East. The Level 3 adventure will feature premade characters made using 2024 Player's Handbook rules along with options from Eberron: Forge of the Artificer.

As its name suggests, Eberron: Forge of the Artificer will update the Artificer class for 2024 5th Edition rules. It will also update all Eberron-specific species for the revised ruleset. The new rulebook comes out on August 19, 2025.

The full description of the new Eberron adventure can be found below:

Your group has been dispatched by Morgrave University to travel to Xen’drik and seek out the Crab Temple. It’s a race between your expedition and a rival to discover its secrets! Premade level 3 characters are provided, featuring rules from the new Player’s Handbook and first looks at options from Eberron: Forge of the Artificer!

Glad to know that the Eberron: Forge of the Artificer will contain a 2024 version of the Warforged. However, is that supposed to be a Warforged in the picture above?

Obviously. What is the problem. There has been a diversity of Warfroged appearance since the very first Eberron book.

Hopefully it will available later for home play

Getting use to the new look naturally.

I wish I was going to PAX now to get a look at this adventure. I hope someone there shares any changes they notice to the Eberron options.

My guess (and hope) is that there won't be A new look, but multiple examples of what Warforged can look like.

I have little interest in the Artificer, but lots of interest in watching folks disect the pre-made character once the sheet is posted.

I’m looking forward to the Acq Inc live play too.

Hopefully it will be takes on the Envoy, Juggernaut and Skirmisher 'models' from Unearthed Arcana. The one in the above pic, for instance, could be that of an Envoy Warforged. A diplomat model designed to ease the tensions between two or more parties by looking more humanoid in appearance.
