[RPG] Are there holidays in Eberron

Well, your second question is probably the easiest to answer. I imagine that the price is the same as in the Player's Handbook (p.222), i.e. 5sp for a typical room and 2gp for a luxury room.

The first one is tougher. The Eberron Player's Guide (p.13) tells us that the lower class (of which I guess a guard belongs to) has no more than a handful of silver pieces on himself at any one time. Casting the net a bit wider, the 3.5 DMG(p.105) tells us that a laborer can earn 1sp per day, while a mercenary can earn 2sp per day. Seems likely that an ordinary guard might earn 1sp per day, while a better trained and more trusted one might earn 2sp per day.

I could have sworn that bribes were mentioned under skills somewhere in 3.5 or 4th ed, but I'll be darned if I can find the mention. However, you might try to figure it out from the above. If a guard earn 1sp/day or 3gp per month, then 3gp is a months salary, and more than he has in his pocket. 40gp is more money than he will see in a year. Whether any of those are a good bribe depends on what you want him to do, and how loyal he is to his employer.

By the way, if you follow the 3.5 DMG, then a skilled craftsperson or scribe would earn approximately 3 times as much (9gp/month), while an architect, alchemist, barrister or low-rank officer would earn somewhere between 5 and 10 times as much(15-30gp/month). These guys probably form the the lower parts of the middle class mentioned in the Eberron Player's Guide.

Draconomicon tells us this about dragons on page 7:

Although a dragon’s front feet are not truly prehensile, a dragon can grasp objects with its front feet, provided they are not too small. This grip is not precise enough for tool use, writing, or wielding a weapon, but a dragon can hold and carry objects. A dragon also is capable of wielding magical devices, such as wands, and can complete somatic components required for the spells it can cast.

So a dragon cannot normally wield a weapon. However, a shield is strapped to the forearm, so the dragon could wield that no problem.

A dragon could use a Mouthpick weapon (from Lords of Madness) to wield a sword in its mouth. You can also use something like graft weapon to bypass the whole "can't hold stuff" bit. The dragon could also trigger a dancing weapon which doesn't need to be held to fight. Also see the magic weapon special ability opposable (Masters of the Wild 28) (+1 bonus; 0 lbs.) and the wondrous item gloves of man (Savage Species 57) (42,000 gp; 0 lbs.).

Serpent Kingdoms and Savage Species also give us the Prehensile Tail feat. Creatures with a tail attack and the Two-Weapon Fighting feat can use it to wield a weapon with their tail.
