Eberron in Colorado By the way, if you're in the Boulder/Denver area and want to talk about Eberron in person, I'm going to be at two events this Saturday (July 3rd). From 12-2 PM I'll be at It's Your Move on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder; and from 3-5 PM I'll be at Stonebridge Games in...

Yes. Rare but not unheard of. As Goobermunch has suggested, Xen'drik is an excellent place to find high level spells, as the giants possessed power beyond that of the mortal age. High-level wizards are out there -- Vol, Mordain the Fleshweaver, Jaela Daran, powerful members of the Lords of Dust...

My suggestion would be to actually play in a campaign with one. It's hard to judge the value or restriction of some of the racial abilities until you actually see them in action (so far, no sleep has simply meant that the warforged in the games I've run have always gotten to be the designated...

Ari 3/Fighter 8. He dallied with a succubus, but earned it back.

No. You can be expelled from your house, and back in the day that would symbolically flay the exile's dragonmark, but it's permanent and the power cannot be remove (and the mark will return even if the skin is cut away). That's entirely WotC's decision. I don't think they're in any hurry to...

Yes. Our decision to reduce the number of high-level characters specifically refered to characters in the teens and above. Using the DMG Demographics table, you could end up with four 20th level fighters hanging around in a metropolis. In Toril, there are a lot of epic-level NPCs floating...

Thanks for your patience - it's easy for questions to slip through the cracks. As it turns out, I'm still discussing this question with the folks at WotC; I'll give you an answer as soon as we all agree on it. :) If you need an immediate solution -- and I offer this only as a temporary measure...

True, though at this point they generally think they've done it. She'd need to be careful, and sure, they'd come after her if they realized her true nature, but the actual inquisition is over. Well, assuming an animal form isn't hard to believe if she's a druid. And don't forget, as long as she...

It's a change, but making them sorcerers would certainly work. The idea of granting one additional sorcerer spell slot of the highest level they could cast is a reasonable way of duplicating the racial ability. It's not precisely accurate, as the 15th level kalashtar who only has 1 level of...

OK, I'm back, so let's get started. I have a feeling that I answered this in another thread, but I can't track it down. Assuming that the deities of Eberron do exist, they exist on a higher plane than mortals or even outsiders can reach. As such, there are no celestials who get to actually hang...

I'm still traveling, but I return tomorrow and will try to address the latest questions then. Nonamazing, I'd be happy to drop by sometime -- send me an email at Keith@bossythecow.com and let me know where you're at and we can figure something out.

Now you've got me thinking more about The Maltese Falcon. Again, in my view, there's no question that Gutman and Cairo were "evil" (in D&D terms) and Sam knew it; it's not like someone was going to say "Psst! Sam! That Cairo guy's not such a good guy!" He catches on pretty quickly about the...

Or neutral. My memory from Raiders was that if Indy hadn't looked away he could have been melted too -- the lesson was "Don't mess with incredibly powerful things", not "Don't mess with them if you're evil." And in Eberron, priests don't need to match the alignment of the gods -- so there's no...

Another question here is exactly how people perceive the magical concept of "evil" spotted by detect evil. I agree that most people who are evil don't see themselves that way, and if you said "Hey! You're evil!" they'd roll their eyes and say "Oh, whatever". Again, if evil can do good and good...

This is discussed briefly on page 250 of the setting book, and you can find more of my opinions at http://www.coveworld.net/eberron/rules.html#alignment . To me, it's the question of how extreme you make alignments and how strictly you interpret them. What does it mean that someone is "evil"...

Last Answers for Today Supporting the necromancers and priests as they continue to seek ways to build their power: Searching for weapons hidden in the Mournland or the cause of the Mourning itself. Building horrible eldritch machines. Exploring Xen'drik for lost secrets of the elves and...

Lightning Round! OK. I have less than 24 hours to complete a big deadline, and then I'm going ot be away from the computer for five days. So I'm afraid I have to be as quick as possible. As a result, the more complicated questions (moons, theory behind warforged design) are going to get pushed...

Glad you like it, Flyspeck! As regards your questions, Staffan has answered them all correctly (thanks, Staffan!).

Looking to the lightning rail, you might have a magewright "riding dispel" on the forward coach, ready to use dispel magic to counter some of the magical threats. Though with that said, many of the rails were disrupted at various points during the war. The system used to be more extensive than...

I've been too busy to get terribly involved beyond my local circle, but I agree with Fate. Valhalla's is a great place with a massive gaming area (and a good crowd, the few times I've been there). I've only been to Attactix once, but I was impressed. And Black & Red is a good place with an...
