Personally, I just do not mix stuff from other settings in, but that's just my taste.

03-03-07, 11:09 PM personally I think mixing in things from eberron like the warforged is going a little too far, but hell the realms already have half golems so with a minimum of creative story telling on the GM's part it shouldn't be a big deal as long as you enjoy the game.

03-05-07, 12:02 PM Good DMs take inspiration from everywhere, but I'd use non-Realms D&D books like GAZ8 The Five Shires, SJR1 Lost Ships, Ed's Kalamar and Castlemourn work, Steven Schend's Alchemy & Herbalists, and Bryon Wischstadt's Faeries first, then fantasy books that the Realms is inspired by, and Eberron sourcebooks and the like a distant third. But of course each campaign has different needs.
