07-03-07, 06:00 PM I know I don’t post to often , and I have never posted in anything eberron because frankly I am more into the homebrew worlds. Anyways I thought this question would be better suited here then say on the dungeons and dragons forums.

Dose anyone know of any sources with more information about airships , like examples of such. And more in general about the crunch around them. Frankly I would like to begin to add them more so into my campaign other then the mere note of them in the backdrop. Well more or less because my players have been wanting to get into buying one. I am so far making it difficult and pricey on them , but they are adamant because I have used them as plot devices before.

Anyways I picked up the Explorers handbook in this setting but I found myself rather unsatifyed with the meek info about them their, and I was hopeing someone had some sources or information that give examples of airship like vessles and such. Maybe different classes and such, or well any general ideas.

I am hopeing they don’t try and turn my game towards spell jammer *shudders* but airships themselves are cool concepts to toy with.

07-03-07, 06:15 PM The Explorer's Handbook is the closest you're going to get to a truly detailed description of airships, especially crunchwise. There is no comprehensive list of the number of airships out there, who specifically operates them, usual armament (if any), different classes of airship, or the like.

Airships are featured prominently in the Whispers of the Vampire's Blade adventure though. It has stats for one or two.

really, ebberon only insinuates cruch sometimes. the fact that airships are new(twenty-odd years old) and mostly experimental means the deck designs thay have given you are the widely known ones and give you the springboard for every other one. it takes this many elemental binding rings for this much mass(magic of ebberon-binding elementals), so i guess im pretty free to design experimental decks within those boundaries arent I?

07-06-07, 12:41 PM that section is about the Elemental Binding process, and how to bind an elemental to an airship.
