I have the Eberron Player's Guide and Kingdom of Ghouls

Flipped through the Eberron book at BooksAMillion.

Production value is really good.

Dragonborn form Argonessen? Well that's to be expected. Granted they already detailed Argonessen in the last edition but it really makes sense.

Quick note. A lot of folks are asking about Dragonborn in this book. I just wanted to point out since Dragonborn were in 3e they were detailed in Eberron in 3e already. I know for a fact that the role of Dragonborn is mentioned in Players Guide to Eberron that came out for 3e. I'm pretty sure Goliath's were in there too but I'm not sure.

3.5 Dragonborn, however, are *vastly* different from the 4e variety, so the ties are tenuous. Remember that 3.5 tieflings in Eberron were from the Demon Wastes, not Sarlona.

I don't think Dragonborn changed all that much from 3.5 to 4e. Certainly not like tiefling. The line on Dragonborn in Eberron didn't change from 3e though. I guess the real reason I mention it though is most of the people here asking about Dragonborn ask the question as if Dragonborn were not in Eberron previously at all. Just trying to point out it's not a real radical change.

Uhh... Yeah, they really did. Even physically the two versions resemble eachother only in the vaguest sense (i.e. that they're both humanoid dragons). 3.5 dragonborn were members of other races who'd been called to action by Bahamut and ritualistically encased themselves in faux dragoneggs, emerging as a dragonborn but still distinctly resembling their former races (i.e. former race's size, speed (I think?) and ability modifiers were kept). On top of that, third edition dragonborn had a variety of choices for their "draconic" nature. I think three or four to be exact; breath weapon, senses, wings... Maybe something else? I forget.

I don't see how anyone could possibly say third edition dragonborn are remotely like fourth edition dragonborn. Don't take that as a dig, I played a 3rd edition dragonborn paladin for a while and I love 4th edition's dragonborn as well. I'm just saying, they are very, very different.

I'm three quarters through the book and I'm really enjoying it. My playtest artificer is getting a significant upgrade and I'm looking forward to Monday when my campaign meets for the first time since its release. I also prefer the new dragonmark system; the feats may be a bit on the powerful side (similar to an initial multi-class feats) but they are a nice bundle of mechanical and flavor effects (via the available rituals). I think WoTC really succeeded here.
