I do favor the "separate" armors, though.I see!I think that puts the whole Humanoid vs Monstrosity vs Construct in a new light for me, although I'm not sure as to exactly how yet.Lemme think out loud.A 5E Construct "is made, not born", and it can be equipped with anything that takes yer fancy.So there is actually no real reason to not make it a construct - indeed, it seems rather likely that it is, because WD21 actually says "created".A 5E Monstrosity is "a monster in the strictest sense - a frightening creature that is not not ordinary, not trulynatural, and almost never benign". To my knowledge, there is nothing in WD21 to suggest any of this.I can see where you come from with "Monstrosity" if you'd make them out of dragon canine teeth material and then with their armor being an integral part of them - their skin, so to say - but isn't that also possible for a Construct?Then there's the 5E Humanoid, which is one of "the main peoples of the D&D world, both civilized and savage, including humans and a tremendous variety of other species". Actually, the notion that DWs would be human comes from Greek myth and not from WD21.Considering this, and ignoring any notions of "magical creations" being a creature type in some way, I think I'll have to give up on the 5E DW being a Humanoid.Indeed, I do believe I am sort of leaning (if not helplessly falling) towards Construct now.I suppose I'm gonna have come to terms with this by consuming certain amounts of alcohol at dinner tonight.</blockquote>
