18 int, 6 wis, 6 chr Warforged. Roleplaying tips?

"Exterminate! Exterminate!"

LE construct types are pretty classic: Dalek (more living-construct) Terminator, IG 88.
Wis is understanding of the world. Charisma is understanding of people and how to interact with them.

Warforged are a thinly veiled robot type. However, if you play up the Living part of Living Construct, you can find a more Frankenstein vibe: cannot reproduce, limited empathy, etc.

Playing a Good warforged would be more in the Data/spock vein: good because it is logical.

Sounds like a nerd to me!

If we want to use Star Trek comparisons then maybe a recently liberated (from the collective) Borg would suffice. Think Seven of Nine.

In which case he would be more likely to be Vulcan wouldn't he?

Breaking down what things actually mean (i.e. removing flavour text)
Int: Skill Points, Knowledge-type skills.
Wis: Will Saves, Perception based skills.
Cha: Personality based skills.

From a mechanical viewpoint, the character will be highly skilled and know what he's talking about, but be both easily manipulated (via magic or via fast talking) and weak at getting his point across.

It does actually sound quite a bit like the geek stereotype...

That or a lazy Vulcan.

Possible guides:

(as mentioned) C-3P0.

Lt Data.

KotOR's lovable own HK-47. HK would probably have a bit higher wisdom, though.

...Daleks. (edit: damn, beaten to the daleks. )

 

[Nightfall]

Well Daleks with a conscious or at least a) a better vocabulary and b) sense of "We shouldn't kill everyone."

I may be alone in this, but I think Gaius Baltar from Battlestar Galactica. Very brilliant, but has the interpersonal skills of a concussed badger and makes unbelievably poor choices.

You're not alone.

Though I do think you're being a little mean to concussed badgers with that comparison
