Races of Eberron *Update - Couple of folks have it - Ask questions here*

[RichGreen]

Except for sample characters and reprinted racial stats, just about everything up to and including page 104 (i.e., chapters 1-5) is racial background information rather than rules. Good stuff, too.

Chapter 6 is pure crunch (page 105-132).

Chapter 7 is prestige classes (page 133-170). In this chapter, it's about 50:50 - the background info on the prestige classes is nicely detailed (though not extensively so).

Chapters 8-9 (page 171-192) are equipment and spells - i.e., crunch.

Thanks!

2. Is there a shifter trait that lets you perceive invisible creatures?

The same as in the ECS: Wildhunt, which gives you scent.

There's also Dreamsight Elite, previewed here.

Well, I once played a warforged who kept a "kill count" by carrying with him a small iron in the shape of a humanoid stick figure, and branded a new one into his left arm or left side every time he slew a foe.

But somehow, I don't think that's what you were asking about.

Darkness, I just NEED more details on the shifter druid racial substitution levels. My copy won't arrive for a bit (seeing as I foolishly ordered it along with Five Nations). E-mail me if needed!

Keep an eye on Dragonshards.

1. Any special-spell-components?

If you mean dragon's heart or angel tears, than no. But there are a few spells where one of the spell components are: drow, dwarf and I think halfling and gnome. I like the drow and dwarf spells.

Overall, I think the only things I didn't like were the Natural Weapon Augmentations, especially with the "+1 level for warforged".

Seems to go against what I expect from artificers. Instead of giving a bonus for a warforged, I think it should only affect construct (living or otherwise) natural attacks.

I'm not into writing up detailed descriptions of mechanics or anything like that, which seems to be what you'd need, so I don't see how I can help you here. Sorry...

I concur - it does seem strange.
