The latest set of Campaign Cards from the RPGA has been released in mailings to GM's this past week. The Eberron Mark of Heroes Yahoo mailing list has been ablaze with postings and questions. One especially devoted member took the time to write up what each of the cards is or does. And here they are!
#1: Children of the Shadow Marches (Creation)
Benefit: This card unlocks the orc race. Your orc character is
from the Shadow Marches. See the Monster Manual for the racial traits
of this race. This also unlocks the following rules items:
Equipment: Shaders (RE)
Feats: Shadow Marches Warmonger (RE)
#2: Dol Arrah's Sacrifice (General)
Prerequisite: The ability to lay on hands.
Benefit: Spend this card and take 2 points of Strength damage
to gain an effective +6 Charisma bonus for the purposes of your lay on
hands ability for the day.
#3: Master's Luck (General)
Benefit: Spend this card, and grant your animal companion,
familiar, or special mount the benefit of the action point associated
with it.
#4: Iron Fortitude (General)
Benefit: Spend this card to modify a Fortitude saving throw.
When rolling your action point dice, roll an additional die. Take the
higher of the rolls. Instead, if you rolled a 1 on a Fortitude save,
you can spend this card and two more action points to reroll that
Fortitude save.
#5: Amateur Inquisitive (General)
Benefit: Spend this card to analyze clues in a single specific
area as if you had the Investigate feat (see Eberron Campaign Setting

at that scene.

shield, open or close a door, pick up an item, retrieve a stowed item,
sheathe a weapon, or stow an item.
#7: Power and Precision (General)
