The Playable Races of Eberron in Dungeons & Dragons 

I would really like that PC to be like EMET from Evolve. It's very reminiscent of PTSD. But not just. It's over the top enough to be amusing. But tragic enough to be endearing.

Great concept, but as a DM, I've run this, and they also attack allies in this Rage Mode. Don't do that, nobody at the table actually enjoyed it, or thought it was interesting. Rage Mode is where you hone in on someone and don't stop till they're dead or someone has specifically told you to stop. Have a 'safe word' that gets you out of that state and tell your team mates what that safeword is. Seriously, it will be so important to not do PvP "because you can't control yourself". There's items for that, they are called cursed, speak to your DM about getting you that one, don't grab the curse up for yourself. The players were partially just straight up glad when the PC died because of a sequence of really bad rolls in escaping a collapsing dungeon.

Can't wait to play a clashtar monk named Jor'dun Joestar.

I think of something like that,or a PERSONA user

Enemy gets a critical hit on you; Enemy: GO AHEAD, MR. JOESTER!

Kalashtar.

NANI?!!

Pale Horse thank you

As am I, hopefully we see something soon. Though with the fall lineup we are getting I wouldn't be suprised if we see some new subclasses.

Probably won't, but really hoping this is where Artificer can make its official debut. It's soooo fitting.

Nope, this is about a PDF that is out RIGHT NOW on DM's Guild, and it's races, backgrounds and feats, a monster and a few items, all for $20. It's not a very bad deal or anything, but a lot of people aren't happy that it isn't a book and doesn't have Mystics or Artificers. But hey, Mike Mearls is working on a revised Artificer, so that's nice.

Nathaniel Leon That would very niceeeeeeeeeu!

So no chino saving throw NAAAAAAAAAAAT ONE

Give me Bad company please

We are: Wayfinders Guide to Eberron. It's already out but its digital only.

Nathan is there a chance of a physical copy later this year?

Probably not this year but after enough feedback and playtesting from fans, then they may release it as a HC book

they wont make a book, they have it in pdf form

Making physical copies of books is sensible. Not everyone has a tablet or likes reading pdfs. Now if only theyll do Planescape...

Christopher Handy-Honeycutt we should be getting it because they’ve been mmhfh-into it, but they better also have artificer, eberron introduced them

Already checked the preview on DriveThruRPG, and it doesn't look like there's any class options in the book. :(

Vicarious Shopper the message from wotc is clear: you want a new class? Make it yourself. They don't want to multiply classes like pathfinder and i'm with them on that. I mean, Pathfinder is great, but with their like 60 books and 20+ classes, sometimes the system can be abuse buy players. Keep the game simple and let the player customise it.

Yanick Desforges funny enough though I was looking at some questioned people were asking Jeremy Crawford mentioned one of the last thins they’d do before hard cover is add artificer, mike just has to get around to it I’m happy hour.

If it's anything like the original they are just mental guides who give their hosts slight psionic ability.

To my understanding, no. My take on the new Eberron book is that it is essentially a playtest document. They are previewing parts of it now, and then will revise it for a full release later.

They’re playtesting it digitally and I’m sure they’ll release a revised physical version

So I checked the Unearthed Arcana page on the DnD website and this setting is playtest content as are the races

Sam Wise playtesting digitally before they print the books seems to be their m.o. for 5e so far

This is basically a playtest document. They will undoubtedly revise it from feedback and hopefully release a full book next year.

given the rumoured backwards compatibility between 6th and 5th edition, I am kinda hoping they hold off on this until the early days of 6e so we begin that addition with a great start.

stephen young where have you seen any evidence of 6e?

Sorry but I couldn't find one of the tweets, but every once in a while Mike Mearls talks about it and or its design aspects of it on twitter.

stephen young I know Mike has said things like, if we were to do a 6th edition, but nothing more concrete than that. Honestly, I don’t think we’ll see a 6e for some time. In fact, if I had to guess, we might see something more akin to 5.5e with slight revisions of rules they weren’t completely happy with. It feels like they’ve only begun to scratch the surface with 5e though, and it has been widely successful.

It's somewhat basic but yes, Yuan-Ti originally come from the Continent of Sarlona, which is the same continent that Humans originally came from, but the Yuan-Ti were eventually forced out of Sarlona by the Reidra, which is the big Empire that rules most of Sarlona, and most of the surviving Yuan-Ti rebuilt their society on the Jungle Continent of Xendrik, but some enclaves might be secretly living on the other continents. Typically race doesn't effect alignment like it does in D&D settings, which is why it's totally valid to have a super friendly Black Dragon Ally while having an absolutely reprehensible Gold Dragon Antagonist in Eberron, but the Yuan-Ti are noted to be more consistently evil than most other races in the setting, but that might be societal thing.

There's a new UA Eberron.

Never mind. It is for homebrew gamers. On DM's Guild. About $20 for pdf.

Albino Raven no idea but if you want a cool race for that check midgard heroes, there is a really good one for undead

Almosthim i'll check that, but It isnt wizard official i guess ty anyway ;)

Albino Raven yeah man, i get your pain. Some oficial undead rules or race like the Revenant from UA would be nice

Dnd beyond has the awakened undead if you want to try those out

Ethan Casner I get what you are saying and like where you're coming from. That said, I guess I'm asking whether or not these races are not properly balanced for other campaigns.

I'm not surprised. This has been a huge trend in the industry lately. When the largest publishers can print their playtest material and people *will* buy it. For examples see the new edition of Traveler, Star Wars (which did it three times), and Pathfinder. Also, remember 5th edition published *two concept books* more than a year before the free playtest started.

To be fair, both Pathfinder 1e and this new edition are still free PDF downloads, they are just offering printed versions as collectors items basically.

br0adsw0rd look at it as 20 bucks for early access.

Remember when 5e was first announced and they had two $20 concept books with no playable content whatsoever? At least you can actually play something.

Ryan Lynd keep MTG in. Some of us play both and would like to see them weave together

The entitlement is strong with this one

Ryan Lynd "I don't like these settings and my opinion definitely matters so do what I want because nobody else matters" lul

Leeva, I'm so glad you realize that we both have opinions. Thank you for pointing out that people have opinions. I wouldn't have known otherwise.

They’ll release the physical copies eventually if that’s what you’re so concerned about
