question for you: what does an outsider from one plane think of an outsider from another plane, if at all? Would an angel of Shavarath’s Legion of Justice be frustrated that the Syranian Angel of Swords is sitting around reading about swords instead of fighting? Immortals in Eberron don’t really have free will; they can’t choose their purpose or path, they express certain ideas. A Shavaran angel may not LIKE the Syranian Angel of Swords, but they know it can’t join their battle; that’s not its purpose.

Every now and then we should stop and think about the really important questions, like “Do Warforged have tongues?” #eberron #dnd https://t.co/sAT85juNfR

So because magic mouth when cast on a statue makes the statues mouth move, does that have any other connotations regarding the capability of warforged mouthes?

I know they can eat or drink potions for example, they able to use their mouths to produce sounds that aren’t mouthed? It's "similar to Magic Mouth," not actually Magic Mouth; it's sound generated through magic as opposed to lungs and tongue. In theory a warforged could learn to use their voice in unique ways—a warforged bard could say they use it like a Thurimbar rod—but that's a special skill.

Wouldn’t that make warforged show up to Detect Magic, or be affected by an anti-magic field? It’s been discussed before. Warforged are innately magical creatures, but that is part of their nature and can’t be dispelled or suppressed—just like golems and shield guardians are magical creations but aren’t knocked out by antimagic fields.

The general idea is that their magic is tied to their lifeforce, and doesn’t operate on the same principles as a spell; so it can’t be dispelled as long as they are alive. This ties to the idea that warforged corrode quickly after death. I’ve never heard before that they corrode quickly after death… That is an interesting concept.

It ties to a number of elements in 3.5 that imply that War-forged are magically mutable—like the Juggernaut PrC, which grew heavier armor plating and spikes; their lifeforce sustains a number of supernatural effects.

Which of the Eberron ancestries is your favorite? #eberron #dnd #dnd5e

Give me a tiger-based shifter, and I’ll be happy. You mean “Give me an excuse for my rakshasa to walk around in the open without anyone suspecting and I’ll be happy,” right?

I’m a veteran, so the concept I saw in the Warforged, as forgotten soldiers who had to find an identity, really stuck with me. Nobody is wrong for thinking this way, but people who couldn’t see that narrative kind of harshed my mellow. Just a personal thing but there it is. I definitely see that as an interesting aspect of the Warforged.

When did changlings become a race option? I never got too deep into the setting but i don’t remember them being there in 3e Changelings were introduced in the 3.5 Eberron Campaign Setting sourcebook.

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) November 2, 2022

so in theory, if an intelligent goblin artificer with really bad ADHD happened to find a way to put another PC (@Rothermellon ) Warforged into a bag of holding and forgot he did so… the Warforged would totally be okay right? Not like he has to breath right? That's correct! I feel like I wrote about a squad of warforged scouts in a bag of holding, but now I can't remember where.

If Castle Greyhawk is THE megadungeon of Greyhawk, and Undermountain is THE megadungeon of the Forgotten Realms . . . what is Eberron’s? In terms of a classic dungeon—bounded space, underground, manmade—I'd say the Realm Below of the Mror Holds, an ancient kingdom filled with wondrous treasures that was claimed long ago by Dyrrn the Corruptor.

But do they have souls? Are they a vessel for reincarnation or something? Yes, warforged have souls. The origin of their souls—whether they are unique, a product of reincarnation, husks recycled from Dolurrh—is one of the intentional mysteries of the setting. pic.twitter.com/vI8gIVdzae

Who do you think are the biggest bads in Eberron? Individuals or organizations? Material or extraplanar?

If you include immortals in the mix, the answer is easy: the Overlords of the First Age, as laid out in this article. https://t.co/aJg6ExYoCV

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) July 28, 2022

Honestly, it's hard because there's so many to choose from. Lady Illmarrow and the Lord of Blades aren't particular POWERFUL when you compare them to daelkyr and overlords, but I'd definitely say they're two of the most ICONIC villains of the setting.
