[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 2426262, member: 53"] One thing I'd like to see is what's been done with the Five Nations book. There are a lot of named areas that little has been covered. I like that areas are open to DM interpretation. I'd like to see books cover an overview of a large area (such as a specific nation), and only a few areas nailed down. I particularly like that they are definitely taking a proactive "your world might vary" attitude. Who is the Lord of Blades? Well, here are his stats right here. Wait, here is a contradictory backgroud here. Here's another one. Some will argue this is just to make the LoB a mysterious figure. However, I think the intent in this is to make Eberron a mysterious setting. Players who fight Fzoul can point to his stats in the FRCS and expect that to apply. Players who point to the LoB stats don't have that expectation. Sure DMs have latitude to change an NPC (and most probably even make minor tweaks), but it's all about expectations. [/QUOTE]
