Jun 24, 2009 16:27:28 I think Mongoose Publishing's Wraith Recon might be a perfect fit for Eberron. The basic concept of Wraith Recon is adapting modern-style special forces tactics to a fantasy setting.

I think this idea would work fine in Eberron, with the Five Nations fielding their own Special Forces groups during the Last War, only for those to become mostly decommissioned with the Peace.

We still have The Royal Eyes of Aundair, and the Dark Lanterns.

I think those are more Spies then Special Forces.

They are, but I figure that in a Fantasy world, intelligence agencies double duty for espionage and Homeland Security. So while the Darklanterns are mostly Mission Impossible style teams of specialists sent to steal things from other countries, I assume that there are other members of the Darklanterns who function as a Counter Terrorist organization.

Cannith/Cyre joint Spec-ops team mid-last war?
