Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 9569062" data-attributes="member: 7006">Keith's new book on DMs Guild-- 'Frontiers of Eberron - Quickstone' include their version of the Lesser Dragonmark origin feat and might be the basis or foundation of what they are going to include in the new WotC book.His book also states the following (regarding the "more powerful" dragonmarks the game has usually included in previous editions):The powers granted by the Lesser Dragonmark feat only reflect the basic gifts of the mark. An adventurer could attribute class abilities to their dragonmark, or describe spells cast as channeled through the dragonmark. A Cleric with the Life Domain and the Mark of Healing could describe casting Healing Word or Raise Dead by using their mark, and a Storm Sorcerer with the Mark of Storms could say that they use their dragonmark to channel elemental power. Likewise, NPCs with dragonmarks could have spell-like abilities reflecting the greater powers of their dragonmarks.So rather that make more powerful feats to keep having to take, their solution was to just say a player could narratively attribute class mechanics to their dragonmark.  Which I'm all for personally-- when I ran an Eberron game I had a player who was a Cannith Mark of Making house member and who chose to play an Artificer (and thus most of their artificer abilities we featured as their mark manifesting)... and I had a player with an Aberrant dragonmark that played a Sorcerer, and whose subclass I made up as an 'Aberrant Dragonmark Sorcerer' with all their sorcerer's magic coming from their dragonmark as well.</blockquote>
