This thread isn't particularly meant to decrease people's enjoyment of the game or the new setting either.But stuff has come out in Dragon, and I presume it's the same as the stuff coming out in the books (correct me if I'm wrong please).Looking at the warforged I'm wondering if we're seeing another round of "turning the dial to 11". (I've given it some more thought doing this analysis and I'm not sure)The warforged (dragon 318).The sidebars from the authors make it clear that they wanted the race to be ECL+0 so people will like the race and play it. I've seen some bitter players myself over the whole thing so I can understand the desire. But warforged PCs are (in most situations) significatly better than other character races in the PhB (do all the races get extra powers in Eberron?)If someone brought a race to me with the same powers and a different backstory (psionically rebuilt humans, partially undead) a few weeks ago I would have rejected it outright. If someone posted it to the boards as a homebrew race with the feats they have availible they would be told to make it ECL+1 or more (and probably mocked).

I assume that super-high-magic Eberron that it's even less necessary. Especially since arcane casters and psions can heal Warforged as well.So, do the other races get power bumps? Was there are reason that they had to receive adamantine full plate at 1st level, and not normal full plate (only a 1500 gp value)...</blockquote>
