I don't think they should be either; the artificer should definitely be its own class. The reason I chose Cleric as a base for Extra Life was because I was trying to quickly emulate the artificer I played in 3.5 - who was the primary melee combatant for our group. Once you set aside permanent...

It was great! I've got a brief report (with a picture) up on my website here: http://keith-baker.com/extra-life-epilogue/ It raised considerably more money that last year, and while my group didn't get especially far in the goal of stopping Tiamat, there was halfling-flinging, mushroom...

Thanks again to everyone who supported Extra Life! You can find my account of things here: http://keith-baker.com/extra-life-epilogue/

Thanks, Aldarc. I love the world and always enjoy talking about it - but I also feel that canon material should be a source of inspiration as opposed to a limitation on stories. My favorite thing about RPGs is that they're collaborative, and I always want people with good ideas to feel free to...

In the Extra Life game this weekend, I'll be playing a warforged artificer in a 5E game. Which means I need to have at least a solid placeholder for warforged and artificers. Step one: The warforged! http://keith-baker.com/extra-life-hacking-the-warforged/

You could certainly come up with one if you wanted. However, the point of Baator per the article is that it's not tied to one plane and thus is suitable as a prison for immortals from any of the planes. It's not part of the Progenitor's grand design of the multiverse (if you believe in the...

That's my default, as shown with Tiamat. However, when I converted the Savage Tide to Eberron I made Demogorgon a lesser entity who was free-roaming but bound to a demiplane in Khyber - essentially, one of the mightiest lieutenants of an Overlord, but not an Overlord himself. My reasoning for...

Personally, I agree. I don't know if you have seen my Eye on Eberron article on Baator, where I did my best to correct this. In that I presented the idea that Baator wasn't a full plane on scale with the others; it was a created demiplane designed as a dumping ground for undesireables from all...

I noticed the same thing! I think it's out of context: it's an Orien heir who's a big supporter of the Pegasus in the Race of Eight Winds (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ebds/20041220a) who is lobbying to CHANGE the Orien seal to the Pegasus.

First of all: to the best of my knowledge, there is no official answer - at least not one I've encountered. But I'm happy to throw my thoughts on the fire. If you are playing with the idea that Cauldron's tunnels into the Underdark lead into Khyber, I can see the logic to tying it to Xoriat...

I'm about to get on a plane, but I'll offer my opinion when I am onland and at a computer.

Classic D&D is definitely something of a mash-up. Vancian magic is, well, Vancian - and the Dying Earth isn't Middle Earth. And I loved Expedition To The Barrier Peaks when I was a kid. But it's certainly the case that Eberron turned a number of classic tropes upside down. I dislike seeing...

Agreed, and if that's what you enjoy then Eberron is definitely the wrong setting for you. One of the things about Middle Earth is that wizards are born, not made. You can't just learn to be a wizard, and thus it makes sense that magic doesn't have a major impact in everyday life. As mentioned...

I'm certainly not trying to change your mind here, Pentegarn - it's chocolate and peanut butter, and not everyone likes it. But to call out a particular point, Eberron very consciously doesn't have firearms. The eternal wand is in some ways the equivalent of a musket in that it's a magical...

Either way, I can at least confirm that Satine IS great.

Thanks to everyone who's pitched in so far. Again, even one dollar helps! These are certainly all things I'd like to work on. As for whether WotC would do them, there's lots of different ways support could happen. It could be that WotC itself would produce new official material; but it's also...

So I see! Thank you very much for your generosity!

Very strange. Satine is organizing the event I'm running.

I don't know - I wasn't aware that it did that.
