I got my hands on the Forgotten Realms books and got very inspired by the regional benefits. I decided to write some for my Eberron Campaign. The result is below. Someone else might also find this useful. If anyone has any insight/comments, they are very much appreciated. Quick note on format: Since I wrote this document for my players I included the population composition (I intend to make them make a very convincing argument for a halfling from Aerenal for instance). I have also decided that halflings, gnomes and orcs still have separate languages in my game. Since I have banned Kalashtar from my game Sarlona is not included. Aerenal Population: 2,650,000 (77% elves, 19% undying, 3% half-elves, 1% other races) You gain a +2 bonus to saving throws again fear effects and dying Argonessen Population: Unknown (Humans and dragonborn only (other races inland but not for PCs)) You add Athletics and Endurance to your list of class skills and you gain a +1 bonus to Athletics checks and Endurance checks. You also add draconic to your list of languages known. Aundair Population: 2,000,000 (51% humans, 16% half-elves, 11% elves, 11% gnomes, 5% halflings, 3% shifters, 2% changelings, 1% other races) Add the higher of your Intelligence score or your Constitution score to your starting hit points (instead of automatically adding your constitution score). Your number of healing surges is still based on your Constitution score. Breland Population: 3,700,000 (44% humans, 14% gnomes, 10% half-elves, 8% elves, 7% dwarves, 4% halflings, 4% changelings, 4% goblinoids, 3% orcs, 2% other races) You add Nature and Diplomacy to your list of class skills and you gain a +1 bonus to Nature checks and Diplomacy checks. If you hail from Sharn you instead add Streetwise to your list of class skills and gain a +2 bonus to Streetwise checks. You also gain one additional language of your choice.
