What characters are you thinking about running?

[garyh]

Ninja weapons? On a pirate?
MONSTER NINJA PIRATES!!!!
DISGUISED AS SNOWFLAKES!!!!!!

RUN FOR YER LIVES!!!

Now there just needs to be a rival island of warforged buccaneer rogues. Then we'd have:

ROBOT NINJA PIRATES VS MONSTER NINJA PIRATES!!!

Somehow, I don't think Tokyo would survive.

And a drunk minotaur priest of the god of death in the middle of it...

Someone should make a movie, I tell ya.

Thinking more about it, a crew of pirates composed entirely of warforged would be great. They could stay at sea indefinitely. Very hard to find when they can go years before making port.

Hrav is the only bugbear AND the only rogue. He's like a special little snowflake. A special little 7 foot tall hairy snowflake with a big 'ol rapier and ninja stars the size of dinner plates.

Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

Hmm...

Tyler's words coming out of my mouth.

And I used to be such a nice guy.

...except warforged.

Yeah, but...

If one of them fell overboard or the boat capsized in the middle of the ocean, they could take forever to get back to dry land. (Assuming they survive the crushing pressure.)

I'm kind of surprised there are no dwarves yet.

In my opinion, dwarves about as classy as you can ever come in fantasy, much moreso than those pointy-eared androgynous tree-huggers with perfected human syndrome (though 4E did sort of alleviate this somewhat by splitting them into elves and eladrin). Dwarves also do great mechanically, if that's your concern.

 

[covaithe]

Yeah, the monstrous races have kind of filled that tough'n'brusque archetype for us so far. I think it's a real credit to how well our setting designers have fitted the monsters into the world.

 

[KenHood]

What would be REALLY cool...

Is a group of warforged rogues with good disguise skills and warforged wizards with illusion or polymorph spells that use their abilities to hide as common conveyances, such as horses, carts, and boats. Then, they "TRANSFORM" to fight evil.

And there could be a diabolic group of similar warforged that serve as the arch-enemy of the group.

And they could come from a distant island, in search of an artifact that resurrects the dead and heals the wounded.

Heck, I bet I could make a movie about this idea and earn hundreds of millions of dollars!

Yeah, I'm a big dwarf fan myself. Possibly my favorite PHB race. But I, and I think many others, have found it too hard to resist taking the opportunity to play MM races. It's not everyday you can play a monster pirate, ya know?

My second character might be a dwarf... or a warforged (I'm a fan, if you couldn't tell).
