Oohhhh ho ho ho! <devilish laugh!> It would be like "Needful Things" on a continental scale. A few small armouries of warmachines, constructs and cursed magical items ready to be distributed to the right people at the right times wouldn't go amiss. A little Mr Morden, a little Mr Gaunt and...

Uh, yeah. Did you notice the part upthread where I was making that same argument? You brought up the idea that their clients may not be able to afford a golem, remember? "Only if their cients could afford iron golems." They can. Of course they are going to spend their money more wisely...

Their clients are nations, nobles and the fantastically wealthy. Those who have purchased legions of warforged, warforged titans, eternal wands and magical items of every kind under the sun. They have not only vast sums of gold, but the promises of political favors, mineral rights, food stuffs...

Thank you for your time, Mr Baker! Always a pleasure to see you up and about. Now back to the grindstone! You got Dragonshards to cut. ;) I kid, I kid because I love.

It follows the grand tradition of published Eberron modules in having a bunch of interesting ideas as a framework for a game, but somehow doesn't really mesh well when put into play. I've played each of them and let me tell you, the skeleton of these things is pretty solid, but the flesh on it...

Whoops, sorry bout that bit! Thanks Klaus. I've been at this too long today. ;)

He is talking about the period in time just after WWI. The Great War and all the horrors and heroics that it inspired. With the inclusion of the Last War and the dread of whatever caused the Mournlands and the cold war brewing between the remaining four of the Five Nations Eberron makes some...

Thanks for being patient in repeating that. More clarification is almost always a good thing and keeping your head about it is appreciated! I have heard very often how people are tired of the same old contrived treatment of elves based on Tolkienesque descriptions and folklore too though. New...

Eliminating random encounters and level grinding helps alot in my experience. Wandering through the wilderness dealing with random critters that serve only to reduce your resources and give you XP while you get to the actual meat of the adventure is one style of play, but not one that I have...

That is creation cost. Cannith wouldn't be making a profit off of that, remember? So to purchase one would be something more like 300,000 GP. Also, warforged aren't slowed for three rounds by a shocking grasp or worse, an electrical version of Ray of Frost! Not even mentioning the 2.5 tons...

Unless they're Villains. Villains can equal or surpass Heroes as needs dictate, or what is victory worth? The vast majority of NPCs actually run off NPC classes though. Soldiers, thugs, guards and all that are generally warriors, not fighters. Burgalers, thieves and footpads are experts not...

Actually, on this point you are wrong. The story of the warforged, the background and impact on the world came from Keith Baker before the other developers at WotC worked with Keith to turn them into a PC race. Also the choice to make them ECL +0 came even after that when marketing research...

It wouldn't have made for good soldiers either. Sure, everybody wants a tank now and then. The old warforged titans filled this niche pretty well. They were like iron golems, but easier to make and with a moderate degree of autonomy. The creation forges that Cannith engineers brought back...

I'd make the myconid a druid though... that way all the badgers could be awakened badgers with barbarian levels. Just before raging they get up on hind legs and psych themselves into a fury by bouncing up and down. waving their arms.

In my reasoning... First he is an anarchist. Anarchy, the absence of government and the perfect reign of the individual. Going back to a state before tyranny took over isn't enough. The complete and utter abolishment of state authority is what we are talking about here. Personal...

Let us know what you think when you read in a bit more!

Let me give you a small stack of links to help you with that... This is the Gearing Up For Eberron Archive. It is what WotC put on its web page for some prerelease information. The Whirlwind Tour of Khorvaire is pretty nice. Try to ignore the Extreme Explorer PrC... or at least its name. It...

Also, the foolishness of fashion knows no bounds. People wore and wear all manner of silly things in the name of civilization. Even when impractical. I've seen people wear corsets and heels that make the wearer walk around like balle dancers on pointe as well as period examples of similar...

That is Limbo. Limbo is where slaad live. Pandemonium is on the chaotic side of the Great Wheel between Limbo and the Abyss. That said, Phlegethon is a great place to decide the galchutt are imprisoned in as well as random stashes of chaositech that have been lurking there since the forgotten...

My first thought about this that the neogi are the next effort Xoriat is sending to wipe out the world. The mindflayers didn't cut it the first time, so the forces of Madness have abandoned them. They slipped through the cracks between Xoriat and sane space shortly after the Gatekeepers...
