I was a bit bummed that one of the mysteries of the setting being explained in a couple of paragraphs; the adventure would actually stand on its own without...
... Actually, don't you only get the 1.5x bonus when you make a two handed attack when _not_ using the "other" blade? I have always felt the double weapons...
... Right. That was the point of the next bullet in my original post. It is a two-handed weapon, so if you use just one blade (even to make a flurry) it would...
I got that they were on the ceiling, I just assumed that they were low enough that you wouldnt think about them and walk into them, or even run into them. Then...

I know that the conscious inspiration for Eberron was both Adventure- and Noir-Style pulps, half Indiana Jones, half Philip Marlowe by way of Randall Garrett....
... The advantages of double weapons over using two separate weapons from a gamist point of view: 1. You get the damage of a one-handed weapon in both your...
In a message dated 11/1/2004 4:09:30 PM Mountain Standard Time, ... Actually, I had the western in mind too. Aside from the obvious adventure tie-ins with the...
On Mon, 1 Nov 2004 07:56:36 -0500, Stroh, Brent ... Which mystery would that be, and what's the explanation? -- Staffan Johansson (staffan.johansson@...)...
... Indeed, and the point here is that the quarterstaff is the only "naturally occuring" double weapon! You are right about the benefits: they exist. They are...
This is my first post but here goes. Sticking with the statements in the ECS, the Karrnathi and the Talenta halflings have an alliance against the Valenar...
... Actually the Native Americans weren't the agressors, but the westerns treated them that way, just another case of the victors rewriting history to put...
Until now, I had thought that goblins were merely a minority group in the human nations of Eberron - not particular well-liked, but at least with rights. Now...
Well, I'm pretty sure the Galifar Code of Justice outlaws slavery. I'll just pretend that Under the Glass doesn't actually exist ;) With columns like that it...
... Though like I said, you can't get both these benefits with two weapons. You have to do one of these: 1. Use two one-handed weapons, and take -4 instead of...
Even with the Code there are many forms of slavery. If you check in the Campaign book, you will find that even though warforged were freed, in many places they...
... I agree. The treaty that gave Warforged equal rights would have covered more. Why would they give "objects" the same rights as a human if they wouldn't...
... Yes, I agree. I did the bastard sword thing once: my paladin found Demonslayer in Rappan Athuk, so it was a no brainer! Likewise, if I find a double weapon...
Yeah, that's what I was referring to actually, the fact that Warforged aren't slaves, but they are indentured servants in many places. The idea that there are...
In a message dated 11/2/2004 8:12:42 AM Mountain Standard Time, ... The title of that paragraph -- "a permanent underclass" -- is the key. The goblins are not...
... Making Warforged individuals does not mean that individuals cannot be enslaved. I cannot find any reference to the treaty of Thronehold outlawing slavery...
... True (I missed that, but I haven't done a close re-reading of the ECSB), but that doesn't mean that some Karrnathi won't come into conflict with some of...
... Native Americans attacking people who were unfairly encroaching on their lands is a bit more defensible than the opposite, but please let us not turn this ...
Another question: I understand that Dragonmarks are central to the hidden logic of the setting, and that it is not advisable for people to just create new...
... It's a thing with me: I always try to stay within the logic of the setting. Granted, I may end up doing it anyway, but I'd like to not violate the central...
I think almost any spell could manifest in an aberrant dragonmark (or at least any 1st-level spell). I think the feat only allows a limited choice of spells...
... However, aberrant marks are just that: aberrant From m-w.com, aberreant is defined as: 1: straying from the right or normal way 2 : deviating from the...
