D&D 5E Keith Baker: Exploring Eberron

Eberron creator Keith Baker has been busy recently! He has unveiled the cover to his new book, to be released in July on DMs Guild in PDF and Print on Demand hardcover. It will dive into parts of Eberron that have received little attention in prior books, including the undersea civilizations and the planes.

Keith sent Sly Flourish a PDF copy of the book, which Sly flipped through

Way of the Living Weapon sounds potentially fun - looking forward to seeing more.

From an earlier tease it sounds like it'll come in multiple ...variants? skins? for the big four Eberron specific races. In other words we're probably looking at something like psychic blades for kalashtar, claws and fangs for shifters, built in weapons for warforged, and offensive transformations for changelings. Which is a really cool concept, and I hope the mechanics back it up.

Interesting - I was expecting something oriented around Daelkyr symbiotic weapons.

It'd be hard to build a subclass around having or enhancing specific magic items. I mean, there's the Artificer, but that's an entire class built around the idea. But in general, tying class features into items you can either lose or never gain in the first place is just a bad tangle to get into. Still, you might get some of that sort of flavor from that Darkblood Dwarves entry this teaser shows.

Reflavor the Psychic Blades as made of Dream Energy. So Dream Eldritch Claws.
