 === Sourcebooks & Tools ===
 These are the books you can draw from. At minimum, you should read the Wayfinders Guide to Eberron (WGtE). If you do not have experience with DnD 5E, read the player's handbook as well. The other sources are not critical, but may have some cool options for you!

 At level 8, you can forgo your ability score improvement and instead take a Greater Dragonmark feat. This will power up your dragonmark, making you that much better at your job.
-When two Dragonmarked Heirs from different houses get it on, there is potential for their descendant(s) to manifest an Aberrant Dragonmark. This is a blending of different magicks and behaves weirdly. You can choose to take the Aberrant Mark feat instead of an ability score improvement; the WGtE has rules for picking its powers. Your social status will be dramatically affected by manifesting an aberrant mark.

 You will start the game with a lesser dragonmark. This will give you access to some cantrips and improve a relevant ability. For example, somebody with the Mark of the Making is always going to have an advantage over a crafter without it.

		+	The lesser mark's direct magical benefits are not too great, but the mark also gives you access to Dragonmarked Focus Items -- powerful tools that are usable exclusively by members of your House. These arcane focus items are how the Dragonmarked Houses have maintained their monopoly positions. Airships can only be piloted by House Lyrandar heirs. That is not a question of skill or training; the airship controls will not respond to you without the correct mark.
