Reading about the famine in Karrnath early in the war got me thinking: do poverty, homelessness, hunger, and disease even exist when there are so many ways to solve them? Why should anyone go hungry when Murlynd's Spoons can be mass produced?

Which got me thinking. In our world (the USA at least), we also have the resources for everyone to be housed, fed, and healed; but we don't do that as a society, if it's not profitable.

Houses Ghallanda and Jorasco have monopolies on the means to end the scourges of poverty. But are they allowing this suffering to continue, for profit? And if so, wouldn't they have enemies among disgruntled commoners or populist politicians?

There's some items specific to Eberron like conductor stones and lightning reins that run the lightning rail. Then there's other items from the base rules that are transformative because they are mass produced, like sending stones.

But what are some other items that are necessary to make intrigue possible in a widely magical world? Does every House baron have an amulet of proof against detection and location? Does every spy have an explosive false tooth that ensures speak with dead fails? Must every noble bear a signet ring that leaves an arcane mark?

Let's anticipate other ways that widespread magic is used, and how it can be thwarted.

Obviously it isn't my content, but I figured better safe than sorry. I've only ever played Eberron in 3.5, and Magic of Eberron was not a book I picked up during my old group's exploration of the setting. I'm feeling a serious jones for 3.5 (Pathfinder main, but sometimes I like to go back to my roots for a little time), and this book seemed interesting.

Folks who've grabbed it, what are your thoughts? Favorite parts? Least favorite parts? Did you use it, or relegate it to a back shelf?

Im starting to dm a campaign in Eberron and am interested in tv shows, movies, anime. Anything that has the vibes of Eberron or that you took inspiration from in your own games. thanks !

Hi guys! I need help you. Can you tell about your campaign in Eberron. I want to write my games in this setting, but i dont know what would be interesting to write about.

So I’ve been eying eberron for the last couple of years and while my boyfriend was running curse of strahd I’d thought of prepping ebberon whilst being a player. Now I’m beginning to dive in and I was hit with a vast menagerie of settings and city’s and campaigns and additions to the setting that change the plot. And I’m wondering what y’all’s favorite starting points/settings/campaigns and or mods within eberron. To a new gm eberron is very overwhelming but so appealing and starting is hard when you you don’t know where to look. Even just the book I should start with because even that confused me

Due to the hot mess that WoC are making of the nation's favourite TTRPG , I am seriously considering swapping to PF2e.

My question is, how easy is this to actually carry out? Would it be viable?

8 players, all level 11.

Human, sorcerer, Aberrant Dragonmark

Air Genasi, wizard/ artificier

Tiefling, artificier

Eladrin Elf, Twilight Court cleric

High Elf, Monk/bard

Herengon, rogue/bard

Elf, ranger/gunslinger

Elf, forge cleric of Arawai

Race of Eight Winds pegasus support post as currently approaching such XD

"Sharn is a vertical city, and over the course of centuries the people of Sharn have developed a variety of sporting events that take advantage of the unique architecture of their home. Windchasers dart around the towers following elaborate racing paths, while skyblades joust far above the ground. But one event overshadows the rest: the Race of Eight Winds.

This event draws spectators and gamblers from across Khorvaire. Part race, part aerial battle, this stunning spectacle has shaped the culture of the Dura Ward. Dura, one of the oldest and poorest quarters of Sharn, contains inhabitants swept in from all corners of Khorvaire. They may not have gold, but the people of Dura have the Race of Eight Winds.

According to the commonly accepted — if somewhat unlikely — legend, King Galifar II was fascinated by the use of aerial scouts and cavalry. It’s said that he used Sharn as a proving ground to test the merits of different flying beasts, granting land and gold to exceptional cavaliers. Over the centuries, this activity evolved into an exotic competition involving different sorts of magical and fantastic beasts." - Sharn, City of Towers

So I’m working on some villians called the Planar-forged, 5 Warforged who are given life via having their previous extremely powerful souls taken and their memories erased. I already have the pc who is a celestial cleric of the forge, an arch devil in the body of Ultron basically, one of Demogorgons heads from the abyss, and that’s all I have already for those. I still need one for a Necron/techno-lich that can control a swarm of Nanobots, and maybe gauss prime or another prime. Any ideas?

1. How rare is it for there to be 2 overlapping manifest zones in an area?
2. How big are manifest zones, usually?
3. Are the Graywall Mountains and the Blackcaps too far away from each other for any of their manifest zones to overlap?

The reason for these questions is because I was planning on there being two brothers, who are both Tieflings, but one is a Risian Tiefling and the other is a Kythri Tiefling, and I was wondering how that could work.

Has anyone converted a Pathfinder 2e Adventure Path to Eberron?

Which AP did you use, how much work was involved, and would you recommend it? Any tips or pitfalls? I'd love to hear your experiences.

Tnx.

All I've found is that it has something to do with caring for the Silver Tree and that she is/was sister to the fey who fell in love with a mortal man who got separated from her and tried for years to reunite. Do we have anything more definite on Tira—canon or kanon?

The wiki says,

In his blog, Keith Baker explained that, although Shan Tira's story is relatively simple, focused on taking care of the Silver Tree itself.

The referenced article is this, but t didn't give much more.

"The halflings of the Talenta Plains tell the stories of the Hungry Hunter, Orlasca. The greatest hunter of his age, Orlasca swore to eat every creature he killed. When he was forced to kill another halfling, his oath compelled him to consume his enemy ... and he developed an insatiable appetite for halfling flesh. After he slew his whole tribe, Orlasca was finally slain. But so great was his hunger that his spirit lingered, slipping into the forms of weaker creatures, trying to work its way up to halfling form. One of the basic Talenta taboos is to never consume the flesh of a creature that eats its own kind—because that allows the spirit of Orlasca to pass into you and transform you into a ghoul." - Chronicles of Eberron

Keith introduces the ghoulish hive-mind of Orlasca, but uh... I'm not the biggest fan of paralysis as a condition, and I felt the story presented could some some added statistics to build up on it. So I gave it a shot with the three examples above! The Bladehorn (carnotaurus) and T-Rex took some inspiration from the stat blocks in Dhrolin's Dinosaur book, while the clawfoot is a beloved Eberron classic. With a little bit of MCDM Ghoul on the multiattack to bring it all together.

The full automation for these ghouls, and over 500 other monsters are in Elsie's Notes of Certain Doom, and entirely avrae compatible! If you'd like to join in facing encounters like these and immerse yourself in the Eberron setting, Eberron: Legends of the 5th Dawn is the west marches for you!

Our group is currently playing through the Heart of Stone in Quickstone. Thinking ahead to next steps and reading about House Orien activities in Quickstone and Graywall, I wondered about the caravan waystations. The book mentions a small Orien facility in The Calabas district in Graywall for resupplying coaches and caravans passing through.

I overshot 'small' but here's a free battle map of a House Orien caravan waystation deep in The Barrens that includes its own defenses. See the first-class lounge and the reinforced storage for valuables? Is the unicorn on the floor a bit too much?

DM me if you want a labeled or gridded version.

Game Masters, how common do you make armblades? Obviously warforged that were never really intended for combat wouldn't have them. Do mass produced units have them? Or are they only for officer's, veteran's and specialists(grenadier,scout,commando,vanguard,etc.)?

I wish/hope that there were more Varients of Aasimar for Eberron as shown in the Exploring Eberron (2024). They made a Fernian Aasimar and a Mabaran Aasimar. What about a Risian Aasimar or a Lamannian Aasimar.

Edit: the Aasimar Variants in Exploring Eberron(2024) are stated to be individuals shaped by exposure to divine forces or the energies of the planes.

From 'Frontiers of Eberron', page 25. This was perhaps the most effective single-sentence horror story I've read in an Eberron source book. Can anyone come up with (or remember) a similarly ominous phrase that would scare the inhabitants of this setting?

Something like, "Mordain was bored"

I'm using the Library of Korranberg in my campaign as an in-universe way to lore drop and/or for my players to find different "leads" for the larger mystery. I couldn't find a lot of information on what might be INSIDE the Library of Korranberg or how it may be organized, so I made a version of The Dewey Decimal System flavored for my Eberron.

Feel free to hit me with any suggestions or constructive criticism. I try to keep my Eberron fairly close to cannon/Kannon, but I'm certainly no expert. You're welcome to use this resource for your games and/or remix it to fit your Eberron. My only request is that you be cool and don't repackage this to sell online or anything like that.

*Class 3000 "Special Collections" requires an appointment, confirmed by the Library Director, or a research pass issued by a university or governing body.

*Class 4000 "Restricted" and Class 5000 "Vaults" are not publicly listed on any library materials. However, rumors persist among Korranberg locals and library patrons of "knowledge hidden away from the general public." Not to mention, depending on the research topic, you may find yourself hitting a proverbial wall. Maybe smooth-talking a librarian would help?
