Building Eberron (Using non-Eberron books)

As to Warlocks--They could be tainted by Khyber!

In Dragon 332, Keith Baker talks about just that. You can see an example build using those traits (changes cold iron to beyshk and gives access to voice of madness) here.

I'm not familiar with the marshall, but all of the others seem OK to me. I'd especially like to see the Divine Mind, it's a cool class and in some ways is like a Psionic Bard, but without all the sucking. (OK, apologies to those who love Bards.)

Among the questionable classes, only the oriental classes stick out for me. The rest are perfectly fine. I've played an ardent and a warmage and seen a marshal. They all work fine (though yes the orbs would have to be modified). To me even the oriental classes work, but then its a matter of changing the flavor of the classes rather than sticking them in as is.

The Psionic ones are only questionable because we'd probably like to keep to the rule of waiting 6 months before allowing in crunch on the basis that more people will have access to it by then. As for the Marshal--it's too weak to be a PC class, but if someone actually was dying to play one for some reason, I wouldn't stop them from proposing it

The 6 month rule is a good one. That'd knock out the PHB2 though.

This is true. Poor Beguiler

Beguiler, bah. Who need 'em. Back in my days, we played bards and we liked it!

Back in your day (assuming your day was before 3e), I played Bards and liked them too! But the new Bard is a terribly-designed class
