Heroes of Faerun is out in the wild and includes lots of interesting character options. In this month’s Deep Dive, I’m going to go through Heroes of Faerun and explain how I’d work these things into an Eberron campaign. If I get stuck, well, I know a guy who knows a thing or two about Faerun… The Deep Dive will be live at 10 AM Pacific Time on Saturday, November 15th. Ask questions here and I’ll work them into the dive!

Oh! That Robin

Hey! You got Forgotten Realms in my Eberron! Two great tastes that taste great together.

Selerian

Great news! What ideas do you have about using circle magic in Eberron?

Micaerys

So exciting!! My question... I guess I'm particularly curious about the draconic additions to the bestiary (werewyvern, deep dragon, and spirit dragon). How would you fit those into Eberron? 🤔

Jarrod Taylor

What limitations would you put into Eberron to balance out some of the hijinks Circle Magic seems to offer, mechanically?

Tin Kan

🎉🔥

Tim Starks

I'd be interested in how you'd reflavor some of the faction-specific feats!

Very curious on how you would spin Oath of Genies (genies already exist of course, but don't seem overly prominent in the material world) and Scion of the Dead Three (who certainly don't exist in Eberron).

Matt Dance

Love it! The two settings are so very different in tone and themes. So I’m curious: Are there any sites from Faerun that you think adapt well to placement in an Eberron campaign?

RocketGuySteve

I am actually in your thoughts on college of the moon bard considering there are so many in Eberron.

Travis Staab

I think the Scion of the Three subclass flavors great for the Mockery. But I am interested on your take for the Oath of the Noble Genie (and Warrior of the Elements by extension). We’re leaning towards something tied to gnomes or giants (or both).

The Purple Dragon Knight as a particularly dedicated knightly order seems like it could slot in anywhere in the Five Nations, BUT are there mechanics in Heroes of Faerun that would make you pick one over the others to put it in, and if so, how do citizens of the other Five Nations think of the knightly order?

keithbaker

This is exactly the sort of question I’ll be answering in the Q&A. What I’m looking to explore is how I’d take the MECHANICS introduced in the books and adapt them to Eberron. So I’m not going to add actual Purple Dragon Knights, but I’ll tell you how I’d use their mechanics.

I've used Bladesingers and Knowledge clerics in my Eberron campaign for years, and I'm glad we've got official 2024 stats on those now. I was disappointed with most of the content in the Faerun books as it seems very niche or else campaign specific. I'm looking forward to seeing your take on it, Keith, so maybe I can add more to my games than just two subclasses and four feats. (Btw, WotC missed a golden opportunity in feats... Cold Caster is decent, but where's Fire Magic? Storm Magic? ... had to homebrew them. Just seems like natural progression.)
