Okay. 
Pendant of joy gives an area-effect bonus on Diplomacy. (I.e., everyone nearby gets the bonus.)
Only two psionic items in the book, as far as I can see - the pendant of joy and the mind blade gauntlet.
Atavist:
Note - '(Ps)' means the ability is simply a psi-like ability you can use a number of times per day.
Call to mind (Ps)
Spiritual lineage determines some of your atavist class skills (depending on the personality of your quori spirit).
Augmented mindlink enables you to contact more creatures at once.
Defensive insight increases AC and Reflex SV under certain circumstances.
Supportive mindlink gives a bonus to Will SV for certain creatures in your mindlink.
Detect possession does what it sounds like.
Spiritual focus gives you a supernatural power (depending on the personality of your quori spirit - combat/movement/awareness/combat, respectively).
Quori hunter lets you hurt quori better with your unarmed strike/mind blade.
Dismissing strike enables you to cast out possessing creatures.
Personal mind blank (Ps)
Spiritual union gives a skill bonus and lets you take more actions under certain circumstances.

It really struck me, but RoE has (IMO) MUCh better art than Lords of Madness (a "prestige" book). Considering I almost didn't get RoE (just getting LoM) I'm very happy I changed my mind.

Changeling factions. Very interesting tripartite division of changeling culture and philosophy, and carried through the whole chapter to show how different changelings react to the same situation.Amy Kou'ai said:

Favorite thing...
Hm, that's the toughest question so far.
I like a lot of things very much, but especially the background information on the 4 Eberron-specific races. Particularly the changeling chapter, which details most things from the perspective of each of the 3 changelings philosophies on life as a changeling.
Next in line are the tactical feats and racial substitution levels. They're both very flavorful and interesting IMO.
Random other things I like much:
The fact that the other races have adventure ideas for the race in question at the end of their brief articles.
Feats -
Aerenal Beastmaster. I've always wondered what the baboon was doing in the Undying Court picture and now I can imagine it - and even get one of my own.
The changeling-specific feats. Very nice.
The kalashtar and psionic feats.
Several shifter feats, e.g., Dreamsight Elite.
Some warforged feats, especially Silver Tracery. (Natural attacks count as silver.) I want a warforged of the Silver Flame lycanthrope hunter now.
Again, the tactical feats. Very impressive.
Prestige classes -
Atavist.
Cabinet Trickster.
Quori Nightmare.
The others are good as well, though.
The shifter-specific magic items.
The vestment of many styles. Many changelings will simply need this one.
The Truth domain. New options for the Silver Flame are always fine by me.
The concept of mindset spells.
Some of the spells and infusions are nice as well, but I have only skimmed over most of them so far. Insidious insight, insidious suggestion, unseen crafter and dominate living construct look good, though.

The only thing I didn't like was the Utopian aspect of the one group. I know the three groups aren't mandatory divisions, but having a changeling that stays in changeling form that isn't into the Utopia thing, could have used some material.Minor detail really.mhacdebhandia said:

Yeah, I'll get some use out of LoM, but it wasn't as "readable" or "pretty" as RoE, which is what it SHOULD have been.Darkness said:
