T
he follow chapter is a conversion for the D&D
Eberron setting to the Genesys roleplaying
system, detailing the races of Eberron. The
people of Eberron make up a rich tapestry of
races, including all the common races found in
fantasy settings, along with several new races
unique to Eberron. Efforts were made to
capture each race's own flavor and style, matching their
original powers and abilities with corresponding effects from
Genesys or the Star Wars RPG.
This chapter offers a brief conversion for many of the
common races in the Eberron campaign setting but should
not be considered an exhaustive list. Eberron takes the flavor
of many of the standard fantasy races and turns them on their
ear. The small flavor snippets provide before each race are
there as a reminder and do not do this setting justice. It is
strongly suggested that anyone unfamiliar with the Eberron
setting pick up some of the multitude of books on its history
and people.
In order to capture the feel of the ability heavy races of D&D
it was necessary to increase the average power level over
those found in the Genesys corebook. While this is a self
contained system and this change shouldn't impact the game
balance, it is suggested that any races you personally convert
or create be created with a 240-250 xp pool.

Changeling
Changelings originated from unions between doppelgangers
and humanoids in the distant past. Eventually, their
descendants became the changeling race. Like shifters, they
are a unique race that breeds true. Unlike shifters, they have
no distinct community and culture as a species. For most of
their history, they have lived in humanoid settlements, often
mistrusted and rarely at ease. This scattering and dispersion
of populations with no central cultural focus has led to a
variety of coping techniques, expressed differently by each of
the three major changeling philosophies.

specific individual. If they do, they do not require a disguise kit
and may upgrade the check twice.

Dragonborn stand between the realm s of mortals and those

The Dragonborn come from Argonnessen, the continent of the
dragons. While the beaches of Argonnessen are populated by
the tribes of the Seren, within the jungles of the continent's
interior lie the great city-states of the Dragonborn. The
Dragonborn rarely leave Argonnessen, with the exception of a
large colony of Dragonborn that founded a settlement in the
land now known as Q'barra.

Kalashtar
The kalashtar are the children of two worlds, born of a
spiritual symbiosis between humanity and renegade spirits
from Dal Quor, the Region of Dreams. The touch of the quori
subtly altered the physiology of the human host, and thus the
kalashtar are a unique species, distinct from both human and
quori ancestry. The most distinctive element of a kalashtar is
his soul. The spirits of the original quori rebels touch the souls
of their descendants, and this provides a kalashtar with an
excess of psychic energy and a natural gift for psionic powers.

This does not grant any special form of understand if the two
do not share a language. This link remains until the end of the
encounter. A Kalashtar may only maintain one link at a time.
 
Human
For good or ill, humans are the dominant race on Khorvaire
and the most numerous on Sarlona. Adaptable and ambitious,
humans have defined history in the recent age, and wherever
Eberron's fate goes in the future, humanity will undoubtedly
be the guiding force.
Human culture was born on the continent of Sarlona, with the
first settlers sailing from Sarlona’s western coast to the region
of Khorvaire now called the Lhazaar Principalities. From
there, they spread across the continent of Khorvaire,
disrupting the placid elven empire of Aerenal and leaving
ruined goblin kingdoms in their wake. With the arrival of the
Inspired in Sarlona, human dominance on that continent
came to an end. The humans of Khorvaire feel no particular
connection to their ancestral homeland. Indeed, most don’t
even realize their ancestors came from that distant land.

Aerenal Elves
The Aerenal elves worship their ancestors as Deathless,
lifeforms much like undead but kept alive by the positive
energy of Irian. The Deathless serve as advisors and
defenders and are considered by those who worship them to
be divine as a whole, in the form of the Undying Court.
Bonus Skill: 1 Rank Arcane or Divine
Valenar Elves
The Valenar elves focus their worship only on their Warrior
ancestors. By emulating the deeds of these ancestors, they
believe the spirits can live again. They do not resurrect their
fallen or beloved as Deathless.
Bonus Skill: 1 Rank Ride or Weapon Skill
Khorvaire Elves
The Khorvaire elves are as diverse as the elf race as a whole.
They divide themselves by nation or by Dragonmarked House
and often follow the local customs. A few still hold their own
race's beliefs in ancestor worship, but not to the same degree
as the Valenar or Aerenal. Their half-elven descendents, the
Khoravar, have formed a separate community.

 Gnomes are among the most inquisitive of races. They seek
knowledge in all its forms and tend to careers which allow
them to fulfill this thirst: bards, historians, alchemists and
librarians, as well as spies. The gnomes rule the nation of
Zilargo, one of the oldest nations of Khorvaire.
The gnomes’ natural gift for illusion is a manifestation of
their racial bent toward deception; a gnome will rarely engage
in direct conflict when he can strike from the shadows or trick
others into working on his behalf. Most gnomes derive great
pleasure from these subtle games; two gnomes might be
engaged in vicious political feuds with one another and still be
great friends.

Dwarf
From a history of barbarism and warfare, the dwarves have
risen to a position of enormous economic might. For eight
centuries dwarves have dominated banking and finance in the
bourgeoning mercantile industries of Khorvaire, leaving their
brutal past behind them. They remain a race of proud
warriors, and they present an appearance of elegant
sophistication, beards cut close, armor trimmed with fur and
brocade, and the fury of an ancient barbarian warrior
simmering deep beneath the fair facade.

The halflings of the Talenta plains maintain the same
traditions that their ancestors of old participated in including
tribal masks and dinosaur mounts. Though physically the
same as urban halflings the native Talenta's strike a much
more imposing figure. Rarely in one place for long the
nomadic tribes traverse the Talenta Plains moving with the
herds they hunt for food. With only one permanent settlement
in the whole of the Talenta Plains (Gatherhold) these nomadic
bands live in temporary camps of tents that are easily set up
and broken down. The Talenta halflings carry few possessions
both as a function of their nomadic lifestyle and as a function
of their beliefs. Their tents are brightly painted, usually with
depictions that tell the story of their tribe's ancestors. Most
important among the halfling's possessions are their hunt-
masks and their dinosaur mounts.

Half-elf
Half-elves share the continent of Khorvaire with the other
common races. When the elves first came to the continent and
began mingling with the human settlers, the first half-elves
were born. Over time, the half-elves gathered and formed two
distinct family groups—the groups that eventually became
House Lyrandar and House Medani. For two thousand years,
the half-elves of Khorvaire have possessed a culture and
society of their own.
Occasionally, elves and humans still produce half-elves, but
those belonging to the two half-elf dragonmarked houses
breed true as a race of their own.

Half-orc
The half-orc are originally progeny of human and orc
procreation though half-orcs can mate with either species and
create half-orc children. Half-orcs occupy a border in society.
Although orcs are recognized as a civilized race under the
Galifar Code of Justice they are none-the-less looked down
upon by the more civilized races and the half-orc inherits
enough of their savagery to discomfort many by their sheer
presence though the human ancestory in them craves social
structure and comforts. Half-orcs are fairly rare in Eberron
though the half-orcs of House Tharashk in The Shadow
Marches have developed a society of their own fueled by their
knack for tracking things down, most notably dragonshards.
