Each race has its own flavor and style. &lling the various roles fO\lnd in the highly magical societies ofEberron. This chapter offers a brief treatment of how each common race in the PI'9'er's Handbook differs from that description in an EBERRON campaign.

The four new races presented in rh is chapter are: Changelings. a race that has evolved from the mixing of doppelgangers and humans, granting them a Ii.mit.ed ability to alter their forms. Kalashtal', a blending of alien mind and human flesh who are masters of mental power .

forming the Inspired (see page 290), while Ieavi ng heir own bodies behind-much as mortals project their minds La Dal Quor when they dream. FOI' fifteen hundred years now. the Inspired in their vast kingdom of Riedra have continued to persecute and oppress the kalashrar. Personality, As a true hybrid of human hosts and quod spirits. t.he kalashtar possess keen intellects but are not ruled by logic. They seek the perfection of their minds and pir its, often to the exclusion of any physical pursuits. They are generally warm and compassionate. but their manner and ways of thinking are alien 0 the native races of Eberron , They are more i nte rested in psion ics than in the magic [hat pervades Khorvaire. and often lace their discourse with esoteric terms such as "matter," "kinetics." and "ectoplasm." The kalashtar are outcasts from their home plane and can never return there---not even in dream. The combination of life in exi le and a d rea rn less exlsten ce makes the kalashtar slightly inclined toward madness, and some have speculated thai the kalashta r devote t.hemelves to p ychic and physical discipline in order 10 keep themselves safely sane. Physice l Description: Kalashtar appear very similar to humans. but they have a grace and elegance that makes them seem almost too beautiful. They are sbghtly taller than the average human, and their faces have a sLght angularity that sets them apart from the human norm, but these deviat ions only make them seem more attractive. Relations: Kalashtar are born diplomats and relate fairly well LO individuals of all races=except, of course, the Inspired. They rem e best to humans. with whom they share the greatest physical Similarity. but some kalashrar find themselves strongly drawn [0 other races instead. They oppose the Inspired in all ways. both within Riedra and beyond its borders, and likewise oppose any group or force that cor-rupts or degrades mortal souls. Ali gnTIlent: Kalashtar are generally lawful good. They com hi ne a sense of se 1f-discipline the t borde rs on the ascetic with a genuine concern fOJ" the welfare of all livi ng thi ngs. or at least their souls. Kalashtar Lands: The ka lasht ar homeland is a region of Sal'Ions called Adar. a land offorbidclingm.ountains and hidden fortresses in the southeastern portion of the continent. Even in Adar their numbers are small. and the number of kalashtar found in Khorvaire is much smaller still. However, they can be found in many of the largest human cities. The largest kalashtar population in Khorvaire is in the city of Sham. Dragon=arks: Kalashtar never possess dragonmarb. Religion: Kalashtar do not follow gods, but tbey have their own religion. called the Path of Light. The center of this belief system is a universal force of positive energy the kalashiar call il-Yannah, or "the Great Light." Through meditation and communion with this force. the kala htar eek to strengthen their bodies and minds f01" the struggle against the force of darkness that threaten all life on Eber ron . Though il-Yannah is not a deity, its few clerics draw power from the Path of Light. A greater number of devout followers of the Path are psions and psych ic wa rr ior-s.

Language: Kal ashrar speak Quor. the language of the quori, and the common longue of thei.r homeland (Gammon in Khorvaire, or Riedran in Adar), Quor is a hissing. guttural tongue more suited to the alien forms of the quori than their humanoid ho IS_ It has its own written form, a flowing. elegant script with many circular letters. am.es: Kalashtar names have much in corn mori with the name of their people: They are three [0 five syllables long, with a combination of hard and hissing consonants. Male names end with ODeof the masculine name suffixes -harath, -khad, -roelk. or -tash. Female names use the feminine suffixes -kasbtai, -shana. -tari, or =vak r i. Male a rnes , Halkhad. Kanatash, Lanameik, Miaharath, Nevirash, Parmelk, Thakakhad, Thinharath. Female Names- Ganitari, Khashana, Lakashrar i, Mevalri, Novakr i. Panitar i, Thakashtai, Tharar-i. Aclventftrers: Every kalashtar enters adulthood facing a fundamental choice, Try to live a normal life as a persecuted exile in Adar, or take up a more active role in combating the Inspired in the world. Not slUprisingly. many kalashrar choose the latter option a nd live a life at least bordering on that of the adventurer. Most kalashtar adverrtur-e rs are motivated primarily by their hatred of the Inspired. but a few-primarily those advanced along the Path of Light-are driven by their compassion for a 11 Uving beings and their desire to fight darkness in whatever form it takes.

SHifTERS
Shifters. sometimes called "the we.retouc hed ," are descended Fr-om humans and natural lycanthropes, now nearly extinct on Khorvaire. Shifters cannot fully change shape but can take on an irnal ist ic features-a state t hey call sh Ht iug. Sh ifters ha ve evolved i.nto a u niq ue race that breeds true. They have a distinct culture with its own tradition s and identity. Pe rsonali ty: The personality a n d behavior of sh ifters are i nflue.nced by their animal natures. Many are Morisb a nd crude. while others are quiet, shifty. and sol ira ry. Just as most Iycanthropesare carnivores, sh i Ft ers have a predatory personality a.od think of mOSI activities in terms of huntjng and prey. They view survival as a challenge, striving to be self-reliant, adaptable, and resourceful.

Phy rica l Descr-ipt ion . Shifter are hasically humanoid in shave. but t he i r- bodies a re exceptionally lilhe. They often move in a crouched posture. springing and leaping while rhe ir companions walk normally alongside, Their faces have iI bestial cast, with wide, flat noses. large eyes and heavy eyebrows. pointed ell rs. and long sideburns (i n both sexes). Their forearms and lower legs grow long hat r, and the hair of their heads is thick and worn long. Relations: Many races feeJ uncomfortable around snifters. the same way they feel around any large predator. Of course. some grow to appreciate individual h ifre rs de pite their natural aver 'ion, and haHlings in general get along well with tbern , or thei 1- part, sh ifters are accustomed to distrust and don't expect better treatment from member-s of the other races, a lLhough some shifters try to earn respect and companionship through acts and deeds. Al ign:numt: Sh i Ice.rs are usua Ily neut raj, viewing the stt'uggle to survive as more important than mor-al or ethical concerns about how su.r-vival is maintained. Shifler Lands: Shifter have no land of their own. Being descended from human stock. they live in human lands. Unlike changelings. however. shifters often live in rural areas a\~ayfrom the crowded spaces of the cities. They are mo t common ly encountered in the Eldeen Reaches and other remote areas that can be found in all the nations. Many shifters earn {heir way as trappers. hunters, fishers, trackers. guides. and military scouts. Dragonmarks: The fact tbat none of the dragonmarked houses includes shifters cements their place outside tbe rna instrearn of society. Religion: Most shifter incline toward the dr-uidbased religion of the Eldeen Reaches, believing in the divine power of the ear-th itself. the elements. and the creatures of the earth. Those shifters who revere the pantheon of lb.e ave reign Host are drawn toward the deities Balinor and Boldrei, while other shifters follow the Traveler. ShifterS rarely worship the Silver Flame.

Razor-claw (Su): While shifting, a razorclaw shifter ga.ins a +2 bonus to Strength and grows claws that can be used as natural weapons. These claws deal Id4 points of damage (plus an additional + 1 for every four character levels she has) with each successful attack. She can attack with one claw as a standard action or with two claws as a full attack action (as a primary natural weapon). She cannot attack more than once per round with a. su.gle claw. even if her base attack bonus is high enough to give her multiple attacks. She can attack with a claw as a light off-hand weapon while wielding a weapon in her prim.ary hand, but all her attacks in that round take a ~2 penalty. l..ongstride (Su): Wb.ile shifting. a longstride shiftel' gains a +2 bonus to Dexter u y and a bonus of + 10 feet to her base land speed. Wil([hun..t{Su) i 'N'h ile s h.i.Ft.i g, a wi ld hum sh i fre r n ga.ins a +2 bonus to Con HtuLion and the seem ability. This ability allows the shifter to detec: approaching

en.em.ies, miff out h.idd n foes, and track by e nse of smell. A wildhunt shifter call identify familiar odors just as a human does familiar sights. A wildhuru sh i Fter can detect oppone.nts within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the oppon ent is up'" ind, Ihe I·angei.ncreases to 60 feet; if downwind. it drops to 15 feel. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage. can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range. These stronger scents block other scents, 50 they can omet imes be used to confu e Or hamper [his hifter trail. When a wildhunt shifter detects a scent, the exact location of the source isn't "evealed-only its presence somewhere within ,·ange. The shifter can take a move action to note the d i rect ion of the scent. Whenever rhe sh i fter comes wit biD 5 feet of the source, she pi npoi nts the sou t-ee's local ion.

For each hour thai the trail grows cold. the DC increases by 2. This ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Shifters tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility. When not shifting, a w ild hu nt shifter gaIns a +2 bonus on Survival checks due to the lingering effects of the scent ability.

WA.RfORGED
Built as mindless machines to fight in the Last War, the warforged developed sentience as a side effect of the area De exper i rnents thai sought to make them the ultimate weapons of destruction. With each successive model that emerged from the creation forges of House Cannitb , the warforged evolved until they bec.ame a new kind of creatu.re-el iving constructs. War forged are renowned for their combat prowess, their size, and their single-minded focus. They make steadfast allies and fearsome enemies. Earlier warforged models are true constructs: some of these remnants of the Last War appear in monstrous varieties, such as the warforged titan (described on page 302). Personality: The warforged were made to fight in the Last War. and they conti nue to Fulfil! rheir purpose with distinction. They hght 6.ercely and usually without remorse, displaying adaptability i mpoas'ible for mindless constructs.

a cu lt l ike following of disaffected warforged by preaching a re urn to the Mournland and rebellion against the "weak-fleshed" races. Language, Warfol'ged speak Common, since [hey were designed to communicate with their (mostly human) creators and owners. Names: Warforged do not name themselves and only recently have begun to understand the need of other races to have names for everything. Many accept whatever na.mes others see 8.t to give them, and warforged traveling with human often are referred to by nicknames. Some warforged, however. have come to see having a name as a definIng morneru of rheir- new existence. and thus search long and hard for the perfect name to attach La themselves. Adventurers: Adventuring is one way that warforged can fit into the world-at least as well as any adventurer ever fits in. In the wilds ofXen'drik. the ancient continent of secrets, few people care whether you were born or made, as long as you can help keep yOUl'companions alive. A fairly large number of war forged choose an adventuring life to escape from the confines of a society they didn't create and at the arne time engage in some meaningful activity.

WARFORGED

RA.CIAL TRA.ITS

Living Cons ruct Subtype (Ex), Warforged are constructs with the living consrr uct subtype. A living construct is a created being given sentience lind Free willlhrough powerfu.land complex creation enchantments. Wa rforged lire Jjv ing constructs that combine aspects of boLh constr-ucts and liv i ng creatures, as detailed below. Features, Ai; a living construct, a warforged has the following features. -A warforged derives its H it Dice, base attack bonus progression, saving throws, and skill points from the class il selects. Traits. A warforged possesses the following traits. -Unlike other constructs, a warforged hall a Constitution score, -Unlike other constructs, a warforged does not ha ve low-light vi sion or d arkvision , =Un.l ike other constructs. a warfol"ged is not im mu ne to mind-affe ting spells and abilities. -Immunity to poison, sleep effect, paralysis. disease. nausea, fatigue, exhaustion. effects that cause the sickened condition, and enel'gy drain. -A war forged cannot heal damage naturally. -UnHke other constructs. warforged are subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, stunning, ability damage. abiLity drain, and deat h effects or necromancy effects. -As I iving constructs, warforged can be affected by spells that larget living creatures as well as by those that target constructs. Damage dealt LO a warforged can be healed by a cure light wounds spell or a repair light damage spell. for example. and a warforged is vuJnerable to di~Clbleconstruct and harm. However, spells from Ihe hea ling subschool and upernatural abilities that cure hit point damage Or ability damage provide only half their normal effect to a warforged,

-The unusual physical construct ion of war-forged ma.kes them vulnerable to certain spells and effects that normally don't affect Uving creatures. A warforged takes damage from heat metal and chill me!al as if he were wea ring metal ar mol'. Likewise, a war forged is affected by repeJ metal Of !tone as if h e were wearing metal armor. A warforged is repelled by reptl wood. The iron in the body of a warforged makes him vul nerable to rLlsting grasp. The creature takes 2d6 points of damage from the pel.l (Reflex half, save DC 14- + caster-s ability mod ifier). A warforged takes the same damage from a rust monster's touch (Reflex DC 17 half). Spells such as stone lof/esh, stone shape, warp WQod, and. wood shape affect objects only, and thus cannot be used on t be stone and wood parts of a warforged. -A warforged responds slighlly differently from other living cr eat.ures when reduced to 0 hit points. A warforged with 0 bit points is disabled, just like a living creature. He can only take a single move action or standard action in each round, but strenuous activity does not risk Further injury. When his hit poi nts are less than 0 and greater than -10. a warforged is inert. He is unconscious and helpless. and he can.nor perform any actions. However, an inert warforged does not lose additional hit points UDless more damage is dealt to him, as with a 1iving creature lbat is stable. -As a living construct, a war forged can be raised 01" resurrected. -A warforged does not need to eat. sleep. or breathe. but he can still benefit from the effects of consumable spells and magic items such as heroes"feaxt and pOI ions. -Although Living constructs do not need to sleep, a wadorged wizard must rest for 8 hours before preparing spells. +2 Constilution. -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma: Warforged are resilient and powerful, but their difficulty in relating to other creatures makes them seem aloof or even hostile. Medium: As Medium constructs, warforged have no pecial bonuses or penalties due to thei r size. Warforged base land peed is 30 feet. Compoaire Plating: The plating used to build a warforg"l'd provides a +2 armor bonus. This plating is not natural ar-mor' and does not Slack w it.h other effects that give an armor bonus (othel' than natural armor). This composite plating occupies the same space on the body as a suit of ar-mor or a robe. and thus a warforged can.not wear armor 01' magic robes. Wal"forged can be enchanted just as ar mor can be. The character musL be pre ent fOI' the entire time it takes to enchant him. Composite pIa ing also provide a wa..rforged with a 5% arcane spell failure chance, similar LO the penalty for wearing lighl armor. Any class ability t hat allows a warforged to ignore the ar-cane spell failure chance fOI' I1gh t ar-mor- lets him ignore this penally as well.

Light Forti ficarion (Ex): When a cr Irlcal hit or sneak attack is scored on a warforged. there is, a 25% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally. A warforge-d has a Datura! weapon in the for-m of a slam attack that deals Id.4 pOints of da.mage. Auromaric Languages: Common, Bonus Languages: None, Favored Class: Fighter. A mult iclass warforged's figheer class does not count when determining whether he takes an exper ience point penalty for m.uhiclas1iing,

OrHER RACES
Kborvaire is a complex region where members of many different races may meet as equals and 'find themselves on the same side of a conflict. The goblinoid kingdom of Darguun, the ore populace of the Shadow Marches. and the monster real m of Dr oaam are sign; ficant playe TS in the political scene of Khorvaire. It is only fitting, then. that hobgoblins, goblins, bugbeau, orcs, guolls, and a var iety of other creatures commonly viewed as monsters might appear as player characters in an EBERRON campaign. All the rules you need to playa character belonging to one of these "facesare found in ihe Monster Manual and Dungeon Master's Guide. Cultural information about many monstrous races appears in Chapter 7: Li fe in the World, particularly in the sections concerning Darguun. Droaam, and the Shadow Marches. Dragon player characters are not recommended in an EBER~ON campaign. since the motivations and outlook of dragons are far removed from what is familiar to the humanoids of'Eber ron , Similarly, salmagin and drow are not ideal races for player characters.

In the context of the ga me. these cultural differences are expressed in 1 he ch oices of class, ski lls, feats, and prestige classes th.at characters from different regions make.

Alignnu~nt: lfal"tificers have at'endency towa.rd any aligTlJnem, h is neutral. They ar e more interested in their work than in its mor-al implications. Some artificers cr-eate magic .iterns for the com mori good, while othe rs seek LO create items of rremendous destcucrive power. Religion: Many artificers revere the deity Onatar, Lord of Fire and Forge. Others are. too preoccupied with mastering magic-lududing divine magic-to worry about the gads who mayor may not be the source of magic. Background: Uke .... ciz.ards.arrificers learn their era ft through long years of hard study. They share a sense of camaraderie with others who ha ... endured similar traine ing. They viewothe r art; ficers as either colleagues or rivals. Rivalry may take a friendly form as the artificers try to outdo each other in rheircreations and accomphshments, or it could turn deadly. with artificers sending construct aseasslns after each other, Races: Humans excel as artificers, having no natural attach men! to the aesthetics of magic as elves do. and no knack fora particular expression of magic as gnomes have, Their analytical minds make them well suited to the artificer's task of reducing magic LO its component pieces and reassembling it in a new form. Despite t hei r Cha r isma penalty, warforged also make fine art ibeers, haVinga pa rricular affi nity [01' Ihe creation of other constructs, Dwarves and gnomes. with thetr skill i.n the crafling of mundane items, show equal skilI in the magical craft of the ar-tifice r. Hal ai ngs, elves, half-elves, naif-orcs, kalashrar, shifters, and changelings do not have strong traditions in this class and often choose different magical pathways,

Other CIa sses, Art ificers work best when providing magkal support to members of other classes. Thougll they are quite versatile. their talents lie in enhancing the items-weapons, armor, wands, and other gear-used by all the members of an adventuring party. They ih ink of every parly member as 'components of a machine. encouraging better teamwork within a group and sometimes provid i ng stnteg-y and tactics afforded by their unique mind-set. Role: In a typical adventuring paI"ty, ar rificer-s have a range of roles revolving around magic items. They bring an unparalleled flexibility to both using and cl'ealing such items, In a party that doesn't include a druid. for example, an a r-ti ficer- can use (or scribe) a scroll of barkski/1 or wield a ;taif oj the woodlond s. Though they ca n fight reasonably well, few artifice rs are inclined to engage in front-rank melee combat.

GA.ME RULE INfORMATION

Artificers have the following game statistics. Abil it ies: Charisma is the most imponam abij.ityfor an artificer, because several of his infusions rely on his ability [Q make Use Magic Device checks. Intelligence is also important because it determines t he effect ivenessof his infusions. but it plays a lesser role than for most spellcasters. A high Dexrerity improves the artificer's defensive abtlity, Alignm.ent: Any. Hit Die, d6.

CLA.SS fEATURES
All of the following are class featu-res of the artificer. Weapon and.ArIllor Proficiency: Ar rificer-s a re proficient with aU simple weapons, with lighJ and medium armor. and with shields (except towel' shields). Infusions: An art ificer is not a pe llcaste r, but he does have the ability to imbue items w ith magical infusions. Infusions are neither arcane nor divine: they are drawn from the a rt ificer infusion list (see Chapter 5: Magic). They [u nct.ion jwa like spells and follow all the rules for spells. For example. an infusion can be dispelled. it will not function in an ollhmagic area. and an artificer must make a Concentration check if injured while imbuing an item with an infusion. An artificer can imbue an iLem \ u h any infusion from the list without prepal'ing the infusion ahead of lime. Unlike a sorcerer or bard. he does not select a subset of the avai.lable infusions as his known infusions; he has access to every infusion on t.he list that is of a level he can use. 11 is posaible for an art ificer to leal"0 infusions rh at are not on the normal a rcificer in fusion Iist. These might include ancient infusions he fmds in the ruins ofXen'drik or secret infusions known only to the members of certain guilds or organizations. When he encounters such an infusion, an art.ificer can attempt to Iear n it by making a Spellcrafr check (DC 20 + spell level). If this check Succeeds, he adds the infusion £0 his list. If not, he can try again when he gains another rank in Spellcrafr. assuming he sti.ll has access to the new infusion. To imbue an item with an infusion. an artificer must have a n In teUigence score eq ua I to at least 10 + the infusion level (Inr Ll for In-level infusions. Inr 12 for Znd-Ievel infusions, and so for-th), Infusions never allow saving throws. Like spcllcasters. an artificer can use only a certain number of infusions of a particular level pec day, His base daily infusion allotment is given on the accompanying table. In addition. he receives extra iri fusions peT" day if he has a sufficiently high J ntelligence score (see Table 1-1: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells. page 8 of the PIl!Yer's Handbook). An artificer's infusions can only be imbued into an item or a construct (including warforged), He cannot, for example. simply imbue an ally wit.h hull's strength, He must instead imbue that ability into an item his aUy is wearing. The item then functions as a bel! ofglUntstrength for the duration of the infusion. He can. however, imbue bulls strength directly on a construct or a character with the 1 iving construct subtype. and infusions such as repair light damage a nd iron construct function only when imbued on such characters.

Many infusions have long casting times, often 1 minute 01' more. An artificer can spend 1 action point to imbue any infusion in I round (like a spell rhat takes 1 round to cast). Like a spe llcaster, an artificer can apply ite'm creation feats and melamagic Feats to his in fusions. Like: a sorcerer, an artificer ca n apply a meLamagic feat to an infusion spontaneously. but doing this requires extra time. An artificer can craft alchemical items as tl!ough he were a spe llcaster. An artificer an not.automat.ical ly use a spell trigger or spell completion item if the equivalent pell appears on h.i rnfu ion list. For example, an artificer must st rll employ the Use Magic Device skill to use a wandof/ight. even though light appears on his in!usion. list. Each day. an artificer must focus his mind on his infusions. He needs 8 hou rs of rest. after which he spends 15 minutes concent rar.ing, During this period, the artificer readies his mind to hold h.is daily allotment of infusions. Without such a period of time to refresh himself. the character does not regain the infusion slots he used up the day before. Any infusion u ed within the last 8 hour count against the arlincer' daily lim it. Craft Reserve: An aI'tl ficer receive a pool of points he can spend instead of exper-ience points when crafting a magic item. Each t im e the artificer gains a new level, he receives a new craft reserve: leftover points from the previous level do not carryover. If the poirits are not spent. ,hey are lost. An ari ificer can also use his craft cese rve to supplement the XP cost of the item he is making. taking a portion of the cost from his craft reserve and a portion from his ownXP. Artmcer Knowledge: An artificer can make a special ar-tificer knowledge check with a bonus equal to his art.ificer level -+- his Int modifier to detect whether a specific item has a magical aura. The arrificer must hold and examine the objeci for I minute. Asuccessful check against DC 15 determines that the object has ITlagical qu al it ies, but does not reveal the specific powers of the item. An art ificer cannot take ]0 or take 20 on rhis check. A particular item can only be examined in this fashion one time; if he check fails, the ar-tificer can learn no more about that object. Artisan Bonus, An artificer gairu; a +2 bonus on Use Magic Device checks to activate an item of a kind for which he has the prerequisite item creation feat. For example. an artificer who has the Craft Wand feat gains a "1"2 bonus on checks to use a spell from a wand. Disable Trap: An art.iflcer can use the Sear-ch skill to locale traps when the task has a Difficulty Class h.igher than 20. Finding a non magical trap has a DC of at least 20, or highet· if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 -+- the level of the spe.ll used to create the u'ap. An arti:£cer can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. Usually the DC is 25 the level of the spell used to create the trap. An artificer who beats a trap's DC by 10 or more with II Disable Device check can study a trap, figure

BA.RD
Bards usually don't end up as wandering minstrels or street perfor-mers=any expert with it Perform skill can fill that role. Instead. some bards use t he i r m.agical abilh ies to unearth an dent lore. while others use their interpersonal skills and bardic music to advance their careers a pies, ambassadors. diplomats. and chroniclers. As such, bards find employ as adventurers. as well as in governments and among the mercantile houses. ZiJargo produces a large number of bards. since the gnomes' love of knowledge make them particularly well suited to this class. l n other areas, bards appear most often in the large cities and towns throughout Breland. Karrnath, T'h ra ne , and (particularly) Aundair. Bards with wilder ties are found in the Eldeen Reaches, part ic ularly among the druid sect of the Creensingers. Bard Options: The bards of Eberron can custorn ize thei,r' bar-die music abil iries by means of feats, and they have a couple of appropriate preSt ige class options. Feats: Education. Extra Muaic. Haunting Melody. Music of Growth. Music of Makhlg, Song of the Hearl. Soothe the Beast. Prestige Closses: Extreme explorer, master inquisitive.

Not all druids in Khorvaire are aware of this ancient and illustri.ous history, and few actually recall the central cosmological teachings that enabled the druids of old to act as Gatekeepers. policing the boundar-ies between the planes. These few. however, still pass on Vvaraak's teachings. trusting that futw'e generations faced with a similar th rea! from beyond Eben'on are prepared to deal with it as their spiritual ancestors did in millennia past. Most druids come from the Eldeen Reaches, where their an imistic religion is the dominant faith. Ot hers are found anywhere that nature's spirit is strong, from t he craggy mountains th at house the Mror Holds to the fetid swamps of the Shadow Marches. Some druids from the Eldeen Reaches espouse radical phflosoph ie hal oppose the u e of "unnatural" magic and condemn the building of settlements. osi druids a re more rnode rale in their beliefs about the propel' balance of nature, magic. and civ i liznt io n, Druid Options: New options for druid characters in an ESERRON campaign reflect the practice of adopting magical beasts as totems (the Beast Totem, Beast Shape. and Totem Companion feats), item creation feats useful to any spel lcaster, and the trainingofthe various druid sect of the Eldeen Reaches (the Ashbound, Child of Winter.

ANIMA.L COMPANIONS
Druid and I'anger characters may choose one of the new animals detailed i.n Chapter 11: Monsters as an animal companion. A character' choice of companion is constrained by his region of origin: He must choose a companion that occurs naturally in t h is region. as indicated in I he following list. ("Aquatic" is defined as a region for th is purpose; animals mentioned in that por-tion or the list are available only to a character who lives in an aquatic environ men t.) Many animal companions do not become available until a druid's level (or effective druid level. in the case of a ranger) is 41h or nigher" When dererrn ining the special powers of such a companion. use the level adjustments given in Alter-native Animal Companions on page 36 ofthePl£!ws Handbook, -3 for companions that become available at 4th level or higher. -6 for those that become available at 7Lh level or higher'. and so forth.

DRUID
The history of the druids in Eberron stretches back sixteen thousand years, to a time when orcs and goblinoids ruJed the continent of Khorva ire. At thar ti.me, a black dragon named Vvaraak, a great student of astrology, cosmology, and the draconic Prophecy. foretold a planar invasion of tremendou.s magnitude. Knowing that the humanoids would have to repel this invasion on their own. she taught the ril'St OI'C druids about the bond among the three dragons oflegend. bow to tap into their power, and how they might seal the gate between the planes the next time one opened.

HEIR Of SIBERYS
The people of Khorvaire have a limited undersland.ing of d.'agonlnarks. and Siberys marks are a complete mystet' , The magic of a Siberys mark is undeniably powerful. generally duplicating a spell of7tb or 8th level. Siberys marks are clearly related-visually, ihernauca lIy. and genet icaUyto the other marks in their house. A dragonrriark heir may spend years perfecting and mastel'ing the powers of his mark. but can never mall irest a Sibe rys mark, wh.ile an unmarked scion of a dragonma.'ked house might suddenly display a Siberys mark against all expectations. Siberys marks are mighty. unpredictable. and rare. and the dragonmarked houses keep a careful eye on anyone who manifests one. If its power' can be used in the service of the house. fine-but an heir of Siberys who does 00\ conceal his dragon mark ability or rerna i n firmly aligned with hi. house is 1ikely ro fi nd hi mseU'lhe target or assassins. Characters of every class manifest marks of Siberys, though not before reaching high level. Hit Die: d6.

MAGIC
agic infuse the world of Ebe rron , It rages high above in the Ring of Siber-ys that encircles the world. It binds things d a rk and foreboding in the deepest caverns of the underworld of Khyber. It seeps from the land it elf. a source of energy as well as a means for bending the laws of reality. This chapter discusses the role of magic in Eber rc n, presents new rules for magical effects such as fiendish possession and celestial channeling. describes the planar cosmology of Ebe r non , and includes spel l l ists and new spells for spellcasling characters. professional spel lcasti ng. Many of the unmarked Tncmbel'S of the houses are magewrigh[s and adepts. and pr-ofess io n al spe llcasters who are not members of the families usually work for the guilds that the dragonmal'ked houses cont rol. Elite spel.lcaster s include wizards, artificers, sorcerers, clerics. druids, bards. and members of other spellcasting PC classes. ELite spel lcasters might sell their services. bUI they rarely rely on such act.ivu y as their sole occupation and sou rce of income. Few people can afford to pay for a hlgh-level spell, and the market for elite spe llcasters is too small to suPPOrt many of them through their speflcast mg alone. Most el ite spel lcasrer s have olher professions-they are sages, pr-iests. advisor or adventurers.

MAGIC IN THg WORLD

Magic, and reliance upon magic. shapes and defines the societies ofEberron. For thousands of years. wizards, sorcerers, clerks, artificers. adepts, and magewIighls have brought their magical talents La bear to solve the problems Iife poses. (T be art ifieer character class is deta iled on page 29 i the magewright NPC class appea rs on page 256.) These soluuons have helped humanoid society develop and thrive on every continent-particularly on Khorvaire. 'The result is a society suffused with magic. Skycoaches fly among the soaring lowers of Sharn. Blacksmiths chant spells over forges to improve the way they work. Airships ferry passengers from ZUargo to Kar ruath. Weavers draw threads of shadow into their fabrics. Streets are illuminated with continuol flame spells. and arcane mark emblazon letters of credit and other i mporrant documents. Magic is in common use, and Low-level spells are easily accessible, although hlgh-level magic is rare and wondrous.

SERVICES
Most citizens of a Khorvairian city can't afford to have even a low-level spell cast on the ir behalf. The 125 gp price for remove diseose. for example. puts that spell out of reach of most cit ize ns (even those with the House joraseo discount) and pr act ica lly guarantees that disease will never be eradicated from any of Khorva ire's nations. On the other hand, most people can afford to hop on a s.kycoach to travel from one end of Sharn to the other, getting a fusthand experience of the incredible magic that keeps the City of Towers running. Even the pooresl resident of a gl'eat city still benefits from the rverbright /al1tem~ found along major thoroughfares. A3 wit.h any other services. some magical effects are easily affordab.le and widely available, and others are with i'n the reach of only the weah h iesi people. This section discusses in general terms the kinds of magical services that are available and their impact on society. Specific prices for these services are given in Chapter' 6: Adve nru ring Equipment.

SPEt(CASTERS
Two broad categories of spe llcasrers work across Eberron: professional spe l.lcasters and elite spellcasters. Each has a widely different impact on SOCiety. Professional spel.lcasrers include adepts, magewrights. and others who actually earn a relatively mundane living by casting spells. These worki ng-cla s casters keep the wheels of industry tu ruing-sometimes literally. Broadly. this categol'Y also includes most d"agonmarked individuals; they pUl i.he ir inborn magica 1 ability La economic use for their house or famil . In fact. the dragonmarked houses of Khorvair-e dominate tbe economic life of the co nt irie n t through their near-absolute cont rol over

Magica I, long-distance communica ion i one of the services offel'ed by House Siv1 , which carries the Mark of Scribing. The.dragonmarked members of this house have abi I it ies such as wh,spmngwil1d and 5ellding, which they can en.ha n ce with cer iai n dl'agonshard items. In add it io n. they can an-ange for secure wr-itten communication with illusory script. translate docu me nrs wilh comprehend languages. and notarize documents with orcane mark-. House Sivis

may be one of the most tmportaru houses in Khorvai r e, simply because it provides its services to customers off the t reet as wen as to members of the other houses. Without Sivis notaries. for e rample, the banking industry would be seriously jeopat·dlzed. Haase SivLsalso o-pel'ates message stations throughout central Khorvai r-e. 1'01' a fee. a persall can send a shor-t verbal or written message from one stat ion to the. other, where it can be picked up by. or otherwise delivered to. the recipient in a relatively timely manner. Faster still , but more expensive, are the courier services offered by House Orien. For a hefty fee, a teleporrer {'rom the Couriers Guild can cal'fy a docmneIH or small package from one location to another. Cheaper than both, though not as fa t, is the mail ervice operated by House Or-len and protected by the not ar iear io n processes of House Sivis.

Thrane, and Zilal'go. In association with House Vadal is. House Orien also operates caravan routes that use some combination of magical conveyance, magebl'ed animals, and mu uda ne draft animals to move goods and pa~sengers 1h '"OughoUl Khorva ire. House Lyrandar, which carries the Mark of Storm, uses irs mastery of w i nds to dominate sea travel and sh.ippi ng, as weU as La Oy airships across Khorva i reo Since the destruction of lightning rail lines in the area now called the Mournland, which prevents House Or ieu's I igbtning rail carriages from reach ing between western K.horvaire and Ke r-rnarh . House Lyrandar has dominated t rade and passenger service between the two sides
of t he co nt i ne.nt .

Other Services
WeaIt hy neigh borhoods in Iarge cit ies boast ellerbrighf /anirm15 that amplify the light of coll!illUoljlome spells to illuminate the Streets. House Kundarak 0peTates banks, using arcane marA·s provided by House Sivis to notarize letters of credit that allow the wealthy to access rhei r resources anywhere in civilized Khorvai re. House Sivis also creates papers for those with a need La prove their identity. often used when traveling throughout the Five at ions and thei I' neighboring cou.nt ries. Tinkers (usually affiliated with Hou e Carm ith) use mending and repair moderate damagr to repair household goods. Some cities and lawns boas! laundries and street cleaners who rely on prestid',gilatian for the ir work.

Healing
Hou e Jorasco carries the Mark of Healing, Because of rb house's eHorts and the quality of its services, the people of Khorvaire visit] orasco hosp irals and not churches or temples when they need wounds healed or diseases removed. Though magical healing is prob ibilively expensive fOI' most people. House Jorasco' Healer:; Guild employs man people trained in the mundane art of healing. These guild members use the Heal skill to treat disease and injuries effectively and even provide. long-term care to sick or injured people. Chu relies and their clerics _t'eerve their heaUng abilities for members of the Ia iihfu l and the aristocracies of the nation who are in most need of them (and can be of rhe most benefit to the congt'egation in question).

The spell's effect is simple (it provides a competellce bonus on Craft checks), but its ramifications are extensive, U ing magerraJt, an artisan can produce fine good in as liu le as Lhree-quaJ·ters of the time normally required, and an artisan who might otherwise find masterwork goods loo challengi ng to produce can create them by using magerraft. AIl a result, Khorvai re has a larger supply or high-quality goods av-ailable, while magewright artisans make t he i r goods faster and thus earn more money fOI'their labor. Magic heIns: Magic items are no easier to create in Eberron, hut there are more spe.llcasters rnaking them. The industry of the world turns on the production and sale of magic items, which are created by everyone from common adep and magewrights to artificers and other elite cas en. In general, minor magiC items are easier to nnd and purchase in Khorvaire than described in the Dungeon Master! Gwde. This difference is reflected in some adjustments La the gp limit for smaller settlements, as shown on the following table.
wit.h

Hospitality
House Ghallanda enjoys a secure economic position thanks to the Mark of Hospitality. Plenry of inns and taverns operate just fine without any magIcaJ suppOrt, but establishments affiliated with House Ghallanda's Hostelers Guild can offer conveniences such as herl)es'foGs/ meals, meals and water guaranteed pure. and even secure exrrad irnensional shelters LO those with the need and the abilhy to pay. The Hostelers Guild also inspects and. to some extent. regulates nonaffiliated businesses, improving I he qual ity of accommodaLions throughout Centra 1 Khorvaire. When the r ich and influential want to throw a memorable party, they call upon the services of House Ghallanda to make the event come together.

Transportation
Magical transportation is available ina variety of forms and controlled by different dragonmarked houses. House Orien, which carr-ies the Mark or Passage, controls ihe Couriers Guild and the Transportation Guild. Certain scions of House Orien can use teleport to travel limited distances. carrying passengers for a Fee. However, far more lJeopJe hav-eaccess to (and can afford) the lightning rail.

In co nt.rast LO the core D&D cosmology. these plane. are not the homes of the deities. and only one of them, DoluErh, is a plane where mortal spirits go upon their death. The thirteen orbiting planes are separate frOI11 each other, with no connections between them. They are coexistent with the Astral Plane, but separate from the Ethereal Plane and the Plarie of Shadow, so certain spells (~ther~()1 jaunt and shad()w !Volk, for example) aren't available to casters on these planes. Each of them occasionally becomes coterminous with the Material Plane. allowing connections b erwee n the planes (see Planar Connections. below).

PLA.NES Of ExiSTENCE
Eberron spins within its own Material Plane. enfolded by th ree coexistent transitive planes: the Astral Plane. the Elhereal Plane, and the Plane of Shadow, just as in the core D&D cosmology (see Chapter 5 of the Dungeon Moslers Guide). Within Eberron's stral Plane, thirteen planes revolve in II complex orbit around the Material Plane. These planes are a combination of features of In.ne r Planes and Oute.r Planes: Some have an elemental nature. some have alignment tendencies, and others are simply alien worlds, These planes are home to all the extraplanar creatures

PLANAR CONNECTIONS
As the thirteen planes move through the Astral Plane, their paths take them closer to the Material Plane at time and farther away at other times. A plane's distance from the Material Plane is described in one of three w ..ys. Coterminous: On rare occasions. a plane comes so near [he Material Plane that it actually touches it. Al these times, it is possible to move freely between the

DRAGONSHARDS
Dragons.hards appear in three distinct forms, each associated with and originating in a different pari of the world. These crystal fragments can be shaped and wed to power magic Iterns , a I'll facts, and constructs, or to enhance the "bil itie bestowed by dragon marks. All dragons ba rds appea r as tra nslucent rock or crystal withswirliJlg veins of color suspended within them. The vei.ns are reminiscent of dragon:marks but are DOl copies of them, and the pulsating veins make the stones look almost alive. Though dragonshards are translucent, the glOWingveins running through them lend their color to each crystal. Sihel"ys dragonshard.s fall from. the Ring of Siberys that JOrTIll' a. broken path across the night sky. A pulsating swirl of golden veins glows within the crystalline depths of a Siberys dragonshard. Khyber d.ragonshards are found deep in the earth, near layers of magma. These llving crystals typically grow on cavern walls. A Khyber dragonshard has writhing, midnight blue to oily black veins running through it. Eberron dragonshards are buried in the shallow soil of the world and are usually found encased in geode like stone eggs. An Eberron dragonshard has crimson, blood-red wirls churning witb.in its crystalline surface. Dragonshards and the uses associated with them are described in Chapter 10: Magic hems.
