They are changing the demographics from the DMG. Aside from that, what core rule says cure disease has to be commonplace? What has been said is that spellcasting priests are uncommon, and that divine magic is treated as a miracle of the faith as opposed to a commodity to be bought and sold with gold. Personally, I dislike the temple-as-shop mentality that is common in much of D&D -- Luke 19:45-46 comes to mind. Thus cure disease has not wiped out every plague in existence because the clerics who can cast it are rare and holy, as opposed to being found by the dozens in every city. *shrug* Again, I am glad to see a setting that is at least trying to address some of these issues instead of just ignoring them. Maybe it will raise more issues, but it's a start. If you'd rather ignore them completely, good for you.  True, d4, though as I recall this is partially due to the genetic similarity of the races. The impression I have of Eberron is that all races will be allowed to use psionics, but that the Inspired/kalashtar/Dal Quor are the ultimate source of psionic power... so if you're a human psion, you probably trained in Sarlona or with a kalashtar preceptor. Lest I come off on the wrong foot, *I'm* not a big fan of psionics in fantasy. I don't like Dark Sun because psionics are too omnipresent. But I don't like FR because they have no place in the world whatsoever (that I know of). Like d4, I like the idea that there is a place for psionics in the world that makes sense, but that psions aren't going to be in my face all the time; there's simply a good explanation for them if a PC wants to be a psion, and a well-defined set of psionic villians when I want to surprise my players with something different (and get some use out of that XPH I paid $30 for). Of course, I'm just going by what I've read; we'll see what things are really like in a few months.</blockquote>
