[QUOTE="amerigoV, post: 6047547"] Its been awhile and I am too lazy to read up on it, but it was my impression that the underlying wood and the "armor" are all living items. So a Warforged would be as "willing" to have his hand cut off as a human would in that situation. In my Eberron campaign, I would have ruled that "sure, you can cut off your hand" -- but the replacement would be nothing more than ornamental as it was not part of nor did it "grow" from the original Warforge. You would need the equivalent of a Restoration spell to get the new hand to work (a "Repair" version of Restoration - I do not remember if that was ever created in the 3.x version). At that point, as a DM one would face the same ruling -- would cutting off a hand and using a Restoration spell allow you to get rid of the magic item? (ie 1e, I certainly would make them do a system shock roll or die from the amputation process depending on how they approached it). Oh, and if the player fusses, ask him to point out in any Eberron sourcebook the price listing for a replacement Warforged limb. If they really get pissy, give him the "Hand of Vecna, Warforged style" as the replacement (you guessed it, I do not tolerate pissy players) But that is my two cents. [/QUOTE]
