I'd pay money for this sort of book. Alternately, I suppose someone could set up some sort of Wiki, and people could help work out tactics for all of the OGL monsters...

Yeah, I'm kind of depending on the Spellsword levels to knock that down, I hafta admit. Also, considering the party make-up, I figure that doing mostly-fighting-plus-good-but-not-great-spellcasting is the way to go. Though, next level, I'm gonna start crafting masterwork weapons! I'd do it...

I've kind of liked the idea that the Lord of Blades isn't necessarily just one person, but a position, the secret being that if he's ever dispatched, someone else then fills in the role covertly. Thus, no matter how many times you defeat him, he just seems to come back from the dead...

Name: Wander Player: Amy Kou'ai Class and Level: Fighter 1 Race: Human Alignment: Chaotic Good Deity: N/A Allegiances: Cyre, House Cannith, Spellcarved Soldiers Size: M Age: 3 Gender: Female Height: 6'0" Weight: 278 lbs. Str: 16 +3 Level: 1 XP: 0 Dex: 11 +0 BAB: +1...

That's exactly what I'd decided on, actually -- probably be STR-based and then go Spellsword to reduce ASF before Spellcarved Soldier. I think she's going to be reticent and hard to know, but have a complicated inner life and deep thoughts. ...I have the feeling I can tell what her...

Hey, guys -- where'd you all vanish off to?

Well, warforged can learn languages, but they don't start having learned any; considering that they were made for battle, there probably was no reason for them to need to. It's also one of the (admittedly exceedingly small) balancing factors for the race.

By the way, Ringmereth -- Warforged have no bonus languages. Terrible, but true.

I was about to mention the whole Paladin/Necromancer thing. By the way, I've worked out what I'm going to make -- I think I'm going to go for a fighter/wizard type. She'll probably have been one of the talented warforged to have undergone training and fitted with special materials in Cyre to...

Well, to be honest, I'm somewhat disinclined to play a manifester if the GM isn't interested in them -- it really requires GM cooperation to be interesting, rather than just having you be a slightly more powerful caster who has no access to usable items. I'd also like to play a warforged...

Well, there's that post that says, "If Bront wants in, we're good to go"... Also I think between a Warforged paladin, wizard, artificer, and bard, I may be a bit out of ideas. ^.^; Though, things I can think of offhand might be a Warforged cleric of the mystical and insightful sort, or a...

Just a post to note, before anyone gets here first -- I'm interested. Though now that I look back, it's really up to Bront, who was first, so perhaps an alternate of some sort. [goes to fiddle with various Eberron books]

Well, so, what do you think is the coolest thing in the book?

I think that that is the point, actually. Eberron's inherent tendency is to ambiguate black-and-white relationships; it is thus natural to divorce the Drow from the Elves in terms of being "mirror images" of each other.

Anyone have the time and inclination to post a Table of Contents?

Although of course a possibly useful tactic is to have +1 armor with various armor special abilities and bracers of armor for your real armor bonus, or vice versa, if your GM allows you to add armor special abilities to bracers of armor.

So during the school year, I usually run an Eberron game, and most of my players have done pretty well getting into it, and so on. We started with a few newbie players, and I figured that they'd sort of come out of their shell and get pretty engaged after a few sessions, and so they did --...

Alyra blinks a bit, somewhat startled by the deference that seems to be shown her. "Sorry? For what? I was told that p'raps I might be needed here, so, perhaps you might let the girl speak." She looks around for a spare chair, and sits herself on it with a flourish, while she allows herself...

Actually, I'd prefer less "rules for every specific event" than "guidelines for how to generate a given rule for any situation quickly, with relevant examples".

My most trivial house rule is: "Your character must be interesting." This actually did not originate in a D&D game, although I have decided I probably ought to use it when I run D&D. It came from a Nobilis game I was trying to run in which character creation started with a personality and...
