[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7127614, member: 5142"] And? How is that at odds with Eberron's religions or clerics? Nothing is stopping you from playing that sort of campaign in Eberron. The point, however, is that Eberron shares an assumed chronological period that contributes to its particular aesthetic, tone, and genre. Nah, it's not that Eberron is not designed for DnD, but, rather, that you want Eberron to match your assumptions and preferences for DnD: DnD as a game of murder hobos. The idea that Eberron should be "[teleporting] into King Kaius's lair and roflstomp him" attests to a powerplay fantasy completely detached from the world-building that Eberron establishes or any actual regard for political consequences. Furthermore, although King Kaius is a LE vampire, he was also one of the pro-peace leaders who has an invested interest in kicking out the evil cultists from his borders, helping his people recover from the Last War, and maintaining peace among the Five Nations. Plus, Eberron also assumes preventions for what you describe: "Oh, you try to teleport into his castle? You waste your spell. It turns out that his castle is warded by House Kundarak from teleportation." [/QUOTE]
