[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 2156470, member: 607"] Warforged also make prime targets for Heat/Chill Metal. As soon as you allow a Living Construct race in your campaign, you need to include stuff like the Repair spells, Disable Construct and other things. As well you should. If you have a half-orc with Orc Blood, but no "orc" items, what good is "Orc Blood"? Oh, yeah, none! ;) My first knee-jerk reaction to warforged was to dislike 'em. Eventually I warmed up to them and now I think they're mighty cool. As for the sailing combat or the poison expedition: - Anyone who gets on a ship and doesn't consider ways of keeping from drowining is just asking to sink. In this case, the warforged character (who, mind you, may as well be a 2nd-level rogue with Mithril Body and a measly -4 on Swim checks before Str is counted) can still paddle the surface while trying to throw a grappling hook to the ship. - The warforged doesn't have to worry about being poisoned, but if his companions die, he'll die as well. And so what is a viper can't poison him? A constrictor snake can still crush the timber from his innards. And hey, you have a race who is partly metal. Have him rust (treat as a disease). And finally, Libris Mortis has a new type of poison, the necrotoxin, that affects undead. It isn't too hard to come up with a liquid dispel potion that affects constructs like poison. [/QUOTE]
