[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7911343, member: 93670"] The eberron couldn't win an invasion because $statflationInsanity epic NPCs argument is silly & ignores a vey important detail. Eberron knows how to infiltrate & wage information warfare along with doing things like coopting many of those very same powerful individuals being thrown around with well paid & compensated positions doing much the same as they are currently doing & potentially doing it in a much nicer place where they have access to the benefits of modern society. It's insane to think eberron would open a gate & send siege staff laden airships out to just start indiscriminately bombing cities instead of sending people like mark of shadow heirs/dark lanterns/etc to go around as spies & infiltrators that work to make offers to those who can be given offers & undermine or eliminate the crazy lunatics faerun & oerth somehow hadn't eliminated for the good of stable civilization. Someone brought up how eberron has access to wide magic & large scale production capabilities spawning another argument about how the phb lists very specific stuff that applies to all settings. That tangent in favor of FR/Oerth's equal footing underscores, highlights, and backs up every argument about how obnoxiously FR centric the baseline assumptions in the phb are. There's no tables of wide magic or industrialized society equipment in the setting neutral core books... but the eberron specific Rising sure as heck has a cutout sidebar about how settings with guns give artificer firearm proficiency.
