OK, so the idea is,
Magic of Eberron contains a race, the Daelkyr Half-blood, and the Symbionts and Grafts as Treasure sidebar. Both contain tables that reference each of the Symbionts in
Eberron Campaign Setting and
Magic of Eberron.
However, a great many Symbionts were already printed in the
Fiend Folio, and were not included in either table. I'm expanding both of these tables to include the
Fiend Folio Symbionts, plus any homebrew Symbionts that I come across. I will not, for obvious reasons, be reproducing the entries from
Magic of Eberron in either table.
More information on Symbionts and related items can be found in my
Fleshwarping list.
Table 1: Daelkyr Half-blood Personal Symbionts
These entries are in addition to those found in
Magic of Eberron, pg. 37.
| Level | Choices1 |
|---|
| 1st | Restless ArmorEG |
| 5th | Angel ClawEG, Flame GloveEG, Psionic SinewFF, Skull MantleEG |
| 10th | Eldritch ClawEG, SpellknightEG, Sky ScourgeEG |
| 15th | Cerebral HoodFF |
| 20th | Living Breastplate2, Mind LeechFF |
1 All choices from an earlier level are also available to a higher-level Daelkyr half-blood.
2 The Living Breastplate was presumably not included in the original table intentionally; I have added it at 20th because it seems appropriate.

FF Published in
Fiend Folio. Only the Cerebral Symbionts (that is, not the Fiendish Symbionts) are included, reflecting the fact that, in the Eberron campaign setting, Illithids are the creations and pawns of the Daelkyr, and therefore Daelkyr Half-bloods would have access to them.
Table 2: Symbionts as Treasure
These entries are in addition to those found in
Magic of Eberron, pg. 154.

* The Cerebral Hood and Mind Leech symbionts are frighteningly good: the base cost for an item that does what each of them does (barring Ego conflicts and the Int damage) is 110,000 and 275,000 gp, respectively. Moreover, they're both much better than such an item would be, because they are creatures with their own actions, and therefore using their abilities doesn't require yours. However, the DC on all of their abilities is 17, which by the time you could afford these kinds of costs, is worthless. Thus, I suggest treating them as Minor Artifacts: they are very much
rewards, powerful ones, for a DM to give players. Of course, getting one probably means getting past someone who is using them, which should be quite challenging.
