This book alsoincludes the basic descriptions of the races that itcovers, making it possible to make and play charac-ters of these races even if you dont own the E BERRON Campaign Setting book. WHAT IS A RACEOFEBERRON? The four races described in the E BERRON CampaignSetting the subtle changelings, the introspective kalashtar,theferalshifters,andthemightywarforged are all thoroughly described and eshed out in this book, making them part of the core D&D experiencein addition to preserving and accentuating the rolesthey play in the world of Eberron.

Warforged (Chapter 1): This chapter goes beyondthe warforged description in Chapter 2 of the E BERRON Campaign Setting, detailing warforged psychology, with its emphasis on the strange mindset that these living constructs have, the limitations inherent in their recent creation, and many of their traditions and abilities. This chapter also discusses how to act and talk like awarforged and describes what its like to spend timeimmersed in warforged culture. Shifters(Chapter2): Swiftandferalhumanoidswith a trace of lycanthrope blood in their lineage, shifterscan take on animalistic characteristics for a short time.In addition to the traditions, roleplaying advice, anddescriptions of shifter attitudes that youll nd in thischapter, it includes four new shifter traits, providingeven more options for this powerful race. Changelings (Chapter 3): Chapter 3 delves into the difculties of changeling life, highlighting the waysin which they deal with the distrust that others oftenshow them. Changelings deal with their abilities and the mistrust they engender in remarkably diverse ways, and this chapter provides detailed advice on the waysthat changelings express their abilities. Kalashtar (Chapter 4): The thoughtful kalashtarght an unending struggle against the dreaming dark and the forces of the Inspired. The kalashtar have developed powerful psionic and martial traditions, and many of these are discussed along with theraces description. Other Races (Chapter 5): A mix of subraces andcultural writeups appears here, and the humanoid races from the Players Handbook are discussed in terms of their role and characteristics within the E BERRON setting.
