[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7869337, member: 6704184"] Honestly I run Eberron less dystopian than that, because I don’t think the art and lore actually support the idea of the living conditions you describe. Most people live in a small house or apartment, unless they’re in the Cogs or something. And most villages, IMO, have a washing stone, and probably something similar for mending. Also, there are too many low level things that improve health and food access (directly or indirectly) to imagine those things as being as bad as the very very bad late 19th century. Jorasco Healing may not be readily available to the poor, but just being cleaner and better fed would go a long way. And population density isn’t that great. But Jorasco also isn’t the only source of magical healing. There are canonically Druidic orders that do care about the well being of civilized people in Eberron, for instance. Healing potions aside, there are almost certainly healing products that no adventurer would bother with, that heal over hours or days. And communities pool resources. We see less of it in the modern world, but even 100 years ago it was totally normal for a town to pool money to buy some tool or other for everyone to use. [/QUOTE]
