I thought Eberron would be really stupid when it first came out, but after I read some of the novels, I reconsidered, and to date it has been one of my favorite campaign settings to both play and DM in (Khorvaire, not Stormreach). 

I think Sharn has the potential to be really stunning--Imagine the feather falling shenanigans you could have!  I agree about the f2p race point.  As to the race/class combo being awkward... Sun Elf, anyone?

Cool, thanks for saving me from my own laziness. You're the real hero.

This.

Khorvaire is actually the default setting for most of Eberron, and Sharn is the default starting point of most campaigns.

Xen-drik is "carte blanche" because the lore says it's "unexplored" (meaning that the people of Khorviare didn't know much about it) so that's why it was a good place to start DDO. You can't screw up what's not written down (or if you're Turbine, you bash on and find a way).

It's more likely they go with a 4e/5e Tiefling, which is +INT and +CHA. The -CHA Tielfing hasn't been a "thing" for some time now.

Besides, what's more likely to sell?

Tieflings a la "Malicia" or Tielfings a la "Ugly Shadar-Kai"?

I am just curious how they plan to implement Horns and Tails, since some people are screaming for them, and others against them (I am fully Team Horns-and-Tails, because why even bother otherwise?)

I believe they said the Iconic would be Sorc or Bard, and I'd be fine with either. However, they also have a tendency to do "sub-optimal" (but not necessarily gimped) Stat-to-Class Iconic matches, so I wouldn't rule anything out at this point.

Maybe they roll it out with a flat +2 INT, a great racial tree, and call it a day, similar to Aasimar?

There was a lot of chatter about this topic on the official forums.

I doubt we will see anything but "core" classes for Iconics until they simply run out of options for f2p Race/ Class combinations.

Meaning that one or both of the race or class is f2p. P2P + P2P is a non-starter.

So Dwarf Battlerager (f2p Dwarf + f2p Barb) is good. Teilfling Sorc or Bard also OK (p2p Race + f2p Class). Tiefling Warlock is NO GO (P2P Race + P2P Class) etc etc...

I am holding out for the Dwarf Battlerager. I will not do another Barb life on my Main Alt until that iconic happens (which is unlikely before the servers go dark).

Iconic AF!


Unless we get “Acolyte of the Skin” and a revamp of the other sorcerer trees, I am not looking forward to playing an Iconic Tiefling.
