Does anyone know of any "These can be taken by a sorcerer in place of obtaining a familiar:" abilities that are available in Eberron?

I thought there were that sort of thing in Complete Arcane. The only reason I'm not allowing this one is it is decidely draconic.

Are you not allowing Dragon Disciples, for the same reason?

True, nothing Dragon-y including Half-Dragons

Wait... why are we allowing Cult of the dragon stuff, but nothing dragonish otherwise?

From what I recall there are signifigant parts of eberrons history that involve dragons, worship of dragons happens now, dragons exist as enemies in sample plots form the eberron book (Q'barra for e.g. has a fiendish black dragon guarding an ancient mind flayer city). *confused*

Now I do know they don't list Dragon disciple as a recommended PrC in the Sharn book, but that is maybe due more to the fact that no one should have dragon blood in them in Eberron.. prolly same reason for no half dragons. However I don't see why there should be no one good at killing them.. they do exist... maybe I missed something?

Cult of the Dragon stuff is fine, and very specific, other dragon stuff is not. Book actually specifically suggest not allowing half-dragons. I am extrapolating from that. Dragons as a whole are foreign, mythical creratures to most PC-types.

Cult if the Dragon stuff, btw, does not derive anything from dragons. They are, in fact, considered quite mad.

Wait... what about Sorcerers?!

They're allowed. I'm more ruling out recent, direct sort of contact. Adam has brought to my attention that dragon disciple is actually mentioned as a prestige class in the book, so I would tend to allow that, but probably very limkited by race and nationality. The idea would be that whatever limited dragon-related crunchiness there is will have a tight reign on it. (DM's interpretation - I understand folks on message boards may have different takes.)
