That is true. Though in this case, what doesn't seem right to me mostly seems to be "Dragonmarks". Since I don't run prepackaged settings, I'm probably just going to disallow them outright.
It's just disappointing, when so much of the rest of the book works just fine in any setting. I know Dragonmarks are Eberron-specific, but if they were balanced with everything else, they could be more easily adapted to give players more options in any game.
But then I guess the Forgotten Realms handbook had the spellscarred stuff, which was similarly tied up in the setting.
It's still a good book. I didn't expect to like the artificer class at all, and I think it turned out well.
