Eberron: Forge of the Artificer will be a 112-page book, containing the redesigned Artificer class and five species. With Dragon Delves officially out in stores, the D&D marketing machine is officially turning towards the promotion of its next book - Eberron: Forge of the Artificer. Today on D&D Beyond, Wizards of the Coast officially revealed the contents and page count of the new book. As suspected, Eberron: Forge of the Artificer will be a much skinnier affair than other D&D books, running just 112 pages. That explains the $29.99 price tag, as it's half the page count of a standard D&D rulebook.

The rest of the book's contents are as follows:


  • The revised Artificer class, equipped with more ways to make magic items.
  • 5 Artificer subclasses, including four revised options and one brand-new: the Cartographer, who can guide allies with magical maps, illuminate the battlefield, and navigate obstacles.
  • 5 revised species like the living Construct Warforged, 17 backgrounds to shape your character's path, and 28 feats that explore the mystery of dragonmarks.
  • A new spell, new bastion options, and magical inventions that transform every choice into an opportunity to build something incredible.
  • 3 campaign frameworks tailored to the pulpy, high-flying, and intrigue-filled tone of the Eberron setting—perfect for noir mysteries, skyship chases, and political thrillers.
  • 20+ new monsters crafted to match the tone of the story you want to tell, from horror to high fantasy to heists.

Most of the contents shouldn't be news to those that follow D&D. The Cartographer subclass officially made the cut for the book, as did the five revamped species. There will also be 17 new backgrounds and 20+ monsters in the book, which we haven't seen in playtest form yet.

I am curious what the 4 Backgrounds that are not the Dragonmarks end up being: Journalist, Last War Veteran...?

One of them is likely the House Agent background from Rising. We know the Dragonmark backgrounds are called something like “Cannith Scion” or whatever, so the generic House Agent background for someone that works for the houses but isn’t a member seems likely.

considering that, my assumption is they provide a background for each of the campaign themes. House Agent works for the Dragonmark Intrigue section, so Journalist for the Sharn Inquisitives option and Archeologist or Professor or something like that for the Morgrave Expeditions one also makes sense.

House Agent
Journalist
Archeologist/Professor
MageWright

That’s my guess for the other 4.

Good call on Archeologist and Magewright.

I would actually assume they won't update House Agent, since they are specifically bundling Rising from the Last War with this book.
 

I think that's a perfectly fine elevator speech version of it. Magic is replicating technology from our world like trains and telegraphs. I think any more specific a description would require far more nuance than your typical sales point would warrant. Leave the hair-splitting for message boards.
Honestly "It's like Arcane" is a perfectly viable pitch.
