Most of their new mechanics support the setting. Magewrights and Artificers support the proliferation of magic and magic items. The PrCs actually support the flavor of the setting. I particularly like the Dragonmark Heir, the 5 level PrC that's about a feat chain rather than improving upon any of the base classes. I think the Extreme Explorer is just fun.Most of the d20 products I see don't take advantage of the mechanics to create a setting. They don't create new feat chains to represent a particular path, or PrCs to represent a particular concept. I think there should be more racial feats and more feat chains that represent a particular path within a class. FR had a great idea when they implemented Regional feats, and I think the racial feats and the druid feat chains in Eberron go a long way in giving the mechanics an Eberron feel to them. It's not that I don't see new feats and PrCs, it's that most of the feats are just generic D&D feats; the PrCs are just generic D&D PrCs. It's like they design the settings mechanics so that you can use them in generic D&D, rather than making you feel like you're playing in a specific setting.</blockquote>
