Warforged Juggernaut: playing experiences?

Egres · Jun 1, 2006

Is anyone actually playing this class?

Is it balanced? Underpowered? How do you handle the healing immunity?

Thanks in advance.

An artificer can still repair them, so just make sure the party packs repair wands or artificers or wizards with repair. I think they are really tough fighters, kinda like undead, a lot of immunities, but they suffer from the narrow healing requirements, unless the party is built to compensate.

I like them as flavor.

They tempt me, but the LA makes me wary.

What LA?

Warforged have LA 0

My bad, I was thinking of the Warforged Charger.

Play experience: Nil.

The Average BAB turned me off from the PrC pretty quick. Balanced or not, it just doesn't make sense for a d12 HD "uber-fighter" PrC.

Agreed.

But the medium BAB fits the flavor: real constructs have it.

Medium Bab and d12 in return for immunity that almost reads: Bad stuff. I'll take it.

I've got one I play occassionally; a psi-warrior/pyrokinetic/juggernaut. Great fun. Not perhaps the greatest damage dealer due to the BABs but excellent tanks and grapplers (mmm, flaming armor spikes). Juggernauts can do loopy things, like charge those flesh-crafting demon guys that cause insanity and drain stat points with their attacks. Lemme tell ya, the mindflayers were most unhappy about the "immune to mind affecting" warforged bearing down on them.
