Eberron - anyone has a conversion?

Sounds good...

Talents cannot affect weapon skills;

That's actually more of a guideline than a rule (if you find a specific reference to the contrary, feel free to share it...) - the point is that players shouldn't build custom talents that incorporate all the weapon skills they need to twink out with them. But since these talents are only available in a limited number and only available to certain races, I figured they were okay...

you could give dwarves Higher Purpose (fighting orcs and goblinoids), but IMHO bonus due to racial hate are a pretty absurd thing (you don't fight better just because you hate him, and an orc with a sword fights exactly like a human with a sword and the same training level).

Not exactly true - orcs have a physiology distinct from humans which will be reflected in their martial arts, and dwarves, even on Eberron, have fought against them for a long time. Therefore, it would only make sense that they have developed fighting techniques that are especially effective against orcs, and this seemed to be a good way to represent that.

Dwarves are resistant against poison and disease, not just poison, so IMHO is is better to give them Resistant to Metabolic Hazards (+3 to resistance rolls) [10].

Actually, as of the [URL=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/races.htm#dwarves]3.5 SRD, they only get special bonuses versus poison apart from their high.

Note, BTW, that Resistant to Poison (+3 to resist) is worth [4], not [3] (it is 10/3, rounded up).

Wrong - in the Resistant writeup, it specifically says to drop all fractions.

BTW, d20 elves have no bonus to hit with any weapon: they are simply proficient in their use. That can be represented with some racially learned skills.

Hmmm... You are probably right on that one. I'll change it.

As above for the Talent, and remember that for spells ther's limited Magery (with your racial template a gnome couldn't cast any spell, because he doesn't have Magery).

Eberron probably qualifies as a high mana world, giving how common magic-users are...

But it is probably a good idea to mention that in the Magic chapter.

Enhanced Dodge? Why? Shouldn't they have Luck instead?

Come to think of it, they should probably have both. They are hard to hit and have a knack for avoiding dangerous effects...

The immunity is more than a simple feature: it is at least a Perk. Is gives some benefits and no disadvantages.

True, I guess.

You forgot Blunt Claws (actually Metal Fists!) [3] and Doesn't Eat or Drink [10].

True enough...

I think that a variation of the Electrical disadvantage would be appropriate, since Warforged are vulnerable to spells that affect non-living matter.

I'd say this is more of a feature than anything else... such spells are not that common.

I hope you don't hate me now. ;)

Don't worry. ;)

I just noticed something:

Dwarves

Extended Lifespan 4 [8]

Each level of Extended Lifespan doubles the creatures lifespan. So giving dwarves Extended Lifespan 4 makes them live 16 times longer than humans. Shouldn't that be Extended Lifespan 2 [4] instead?

Elves

Extended Lifespan 5 [10]

Same here, shouldn't that be Extended Lifespan 3 [6]?

Gnomes

Extended Lifespan 3

And finally the Gnomes. Extended Lifespan 2 [4]?


Okay, enough nitpicking. :)
Here are some more Templates:

Armand (111 points)

Ok, I'm done. :-P
I started a new d20-GURPS conversion for this amazing setting after I won the handbook in a tournament (Best Player prize :-) ), but I stuck in to a problem: how to reproduce in GURPS the "auto stabilization" quality of a Warforged? I thought about No Blood, but a voice in my head tells me something's wrong... Help!
Please, of course. ^_^
