Warforged - Discussion & Ideas

[Robbert Raets]

Will you be using the Warforged (previewed in Dragon) in your (non-Eberron) Campaign? How will you use them? Will you use a similar backstory for the race's creation, and will you keep true to the stats as they are given?

Me, I'm definately using them whenever I get a chance. A psionic/crystalline Warforged would be a nice twist, as would a Warforged that is crafted as a toy rather than a weapon.

I have not decide yet.

Why the STAR TREK banner?

And I'll probably allow them in my non-Eberron campaign. Of course, I might look into starting up an Eberron campaign after this one concludes, so maybe I'll just hold off until then.

Dang. I was hoping it would be in the TNG typefont. Star Trek: The Next Generation has Data, with his quest to be human.

When I first read about the warforged, I was half-expecting them to be akin to Battle Chasers' war golem, Calibretto (without the laser-aiming, of course). The too-humanoid shape with three fingers isn't quite as exciting for me...

If they are OGC'd anytime soon, I'll find a place for them as-written IMC. If not, I'll likely simply redo the same concept.

I've had a cabal of powerful wizards in my setting that use golem-type creatures as weapons and servants. Warforged, from what I've heard, could fit right in.

If WotC doesn't OGC the warforged, I'll probably just make a new all-OGC 'construct' race.

It will be very difficult to bring warforged into a game without also bringing in artifcers (their creators).

Warforged need artificers because they do not benefit fully from normal healing magic, and artifecers repair and modify them as well as can heal them fully.

Aren't repair light damage and the related spells also available to sorcerers and wizards?

Kind of. The next fantasy game I run will use BESM d20 as the engine, and BESM d20 has rules for construct pc's out of the box. I'll be using BESM rules, the physical appearence and some of the flavor text from the Warforged, and more flavor text and the name from the Mannikins of FFG's Mythic Races web expansion.
