I would appreciate your feedback on the following alternate warforged model. Please feel free to comment on balance, to give your opinion of the See Invisibility trait, and to offer alternate abilities.
Warforged Bodyguard [template]
Besides the basic warrior model, House Cannith produced a variety of more specialized warforged. Of these, one of the most popular and successful was the warforged bodyguard. These warforged were created to protect wealthy and important individuals by improving the base model's abilities in both defense and detection.
Creating a Warforged Bodyguard
"Warforged Bodyguard" is an inherited template that can be added to a warforged (referred to hereafter as the base creature).
A warforged bodyguard uses all the base creature's statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
Spell-Like Abilities: A warforged bodyguard may see invisibility per the spell. I'm still undecided on how often this ability may be used: continuous, at will, x/day. Opinions, please!
Special Qualities: A warforged bodyguard has all the special qualities of the base creature, plus darkvision out to 60 feet and enhanced senses (see below).
Enhanced Senses (Ex)
Feats: Warforged bodyguards gain the Adamantine Body feat.
Level Adjustment: +1.

- +2 racial bonus to spot (sight), listen (hearing), and search (touch).
- Ability to detect poison via taste and smell. This is done via the orifice through which the warforged ingests potions and does not involve a risk of being poisoned. The warforged bodyguard may identify the exact type of poison using the same rules as the Detect Poison spell.
