The "high-powered" things mentioned are almost all things *you can't get* as a player character. Sure, there's a train powered by magic, and there are streetlights powered by magic, and so on. Big deal. It's still a setting where a 15th-level character has achieved a degree of power unheard of for generations, where the spell _resurrection_ is likely to be seen as a bizarre, dangerous, ancient secret, and where half the recommended adventure hooks involve wandering around a city solving murders as a detective or somesuch (and the biggest bad guys are organizations that make it impossible to march into someone's office and slice their head off).FR-on-PCP is the *opposite* of the stereotypical view of Eberron. Stereotypical Eberron fans hate FR because FR is too high-power, has too many powerful spellcaster NPCs running around and seems more geared for epic than low-level play. Eberron is supposed to be the opposite of that.Saying Eberron is a high-power setting is like saying d20 Modern is a high-power setting because it exists in a world where Abrams tanks, nuclear weapons and anthrax exist, regardless of the fact that the average d20 Modern character is an ordinary twentysomething guy with an apartment, a car and a pistol.</blockquote>
