It also details the Artificer class (a good tinker-mage/rogue mix  class), about two-dozen feats (some of which are very generic), some  prestige classes (mostly specific, but some are adaptable), action  points, and some new domains (only one of which is Eberron-specific).  The end details some new magic items (many of which can be harvested for  other worlds, but a number are Dragonmark-focused) and a dozen monsters  (most of which are easily adaptable). Sharn: Well, not much unless you plan on running a major magical city.  Some good inspiration though.Magic of Eberron: Surprisingly, not very generic. Most of the spells and  prestige's could be adapted, but most of the fluff and adventure seeds  vary.Dragonmarked: Don't bother; nothing generic enough.Faiths of Eberron: Again, very little that isn't a reprint of something  in Complete Divine. Five Nations: Same deal; the few monsters and prestige classes aren't  really worth it.Races of Eberron: Actually, it ATTEMPTED to be a generic book (hence the  generic dress, not the Eberron-specific stuff). It reprints the races,  but not all the racial options (noticeable in that the Shifter is  actually incomplete, missing all the shifter-feats from the ECS). Still,  if you intend to use some of these races, you can't go wrong here.Dragons of Eberron: Useless unless you need dragon stat-blocks. Much of  the book is about Argonesson and the Chamber. Explorer's Handbook: Actually, you could get a lot of cool adventure  seeds from it, but mostly its useless unless you want to use Lightning  Rails or Airships prominently in your world.Secrets of Sarlona: If you have an itch to run a primarily psionic  world, GET THIS BOOK. If you could care less about psionics, (or feel  them an abomination) skip.Secrets of Xen'drik: Perhaps the most adaptable book in the Eberron  line. Lots of cool monsters, plenty of adventure seeds, a lost-world  feel, a mini-city detailed, and some cool new traps and magic items. Player's Guide to Eberron: Not a generic as you'd hope; a few prestiges,  some new spells, and a magic-item or two is hidden among the sidebars  of a good encyclopedic player-friendly version of the ECS. Forge of War: Skip it. VERY Eberron specific. Stormreach: The Sharn treatment is given to Xen'driks port city. Unless  you need another fairly detailed city (abet one without a lot of  statblocks, it was released prior to the 4e shift) you could probably  get away with the info inside the Xen'drik book.Final Total: Recommended: Xen'drik, Explorer's, Race'sPotential: Stormreach, Sharn, ECS, SarlonaSkip: Magic, Player's Guide, Forge, Faith's, Nations.</blockquote>
