[QUOTE="engrishonly, post: 2713615, member: 38460"] I always liked the Changelings, especially their worship of the Traveller (since he's one of the "bad" deities, even if alignment is more fuzzy in Eberron). It's good to have the zealot's faith with the Silver Flame, and then more regular good-guy Cleric stuff with the other deities, but something about the Changelings' faith seems cool to me. If there's more story in the Races of Eberron book, maybe I'll get that one next. The Warforged are interesting just because sex/procreation doesn't drive them like it does with meatbag races. It's because they are more alien as constructs that makes them interesting from a story perspective. The other crap can be futzed around with, just like the damned Spiked Chain juggernauts... and I usually remind the crazy dudes that try to make Warforged into unstoppable killing machines that Warforged are gender-neutral, which usually takes some wind out of that type of player's sails (yay I win teh intarnets). I like the gender neutrality of Warforged, from a character concept. Shifters... they seem okay, but only in relation to how Lycanthropes got hunted down by zealots who hated them. Otherwise, I'm not into the Furry thing ;) Kalashtar always seemed like the weakest to me, probably because I don't have all the Psionics stuff... but they are beginning to grow on me, mainly because they are more otherworldly than other fleshy races.
