One was of course Least Dragonmark, which gave you a least dragonmark which could basically be used to cast a 1st level spell once per day or a cantrip twice a day, IIRC. This, I feel, is a bit much for a background, and more feat territory. The other was Favored in House, which covered the social aspects - you may or may not have an actual Mark, but you're a member of the House in good standing, and you can call upon that for various favors. That would be a good feature for a House Member background.That's one of the issues with converting Eberron, by the way: many different features of various races and sometimes classes got off-loaded into feats. Warforged body type is the big one here, but you also have druidic sects and a bunch of shifter stuff. Some of those things are easier to convert than others (druidic sects can be different circles), but others might require either building them into the base feature or abandoning them entirely. Or maybe collect a bunch of them into a bigger feat and/or beef them up. I could also see a "special bonus" at 1st level which could be spent on a dragonmark, warforged armor, or some other ability that was once a feat but now is no longer quite up to that standard.</blockquote>
