[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2653935, member: 23094"] ... because that would make a lot of sense ... They are penalized. They must spend a feat to get it, their movement rate is reduced, any class abilities dependent on heavy armor are nullified, they get a huge ASF penalty, and they take a high penalty to most physical skills - skills that the classes you mention above would have to buy at cross-class ranks, generally, and with a very limited pool of skill points. In other words, a warforged fighter is likely to, eventually, be able to jump in adamantine skin. A warforged wizard won't be able to clear a 2' trench until he learns to fly. Which, as mentioned above, doesn't exist for warforged plating. :) The fact that you don't like the way the rule is written doesn't change the rule - unless you're DMing and point it out to your players as a house rule. Warforged plating options do not have an armor check penalty. They have a penalty that is in many respects similar to an ACP, but is not actually an ACP. [/QUOTE]
