The bit hanging down in the middle is either a really long extra bit of fabric or a third leg.OK so I asked ChatGPT (in the same chat that I've been discussing my "Steel Shadows" adventure conversion so it has a good bit of context) what it thought Smith might look like. Here's what ChatGPT said:Smith would absolutely retain his original warforged form — but not because he’s untouched. Instead, he wears his scars and repairs like a smith wears callouses: with purpose.He likely bears the marks of his battles and hard labor, but they’ve been reworked, reinforced, and repurposed. If a piece of plating was cracked, it’s been reforged with a visible patch of copper or brass — a reminder that broken things can be made whole again, stronger than before. He might even incorporate functional aesthetic touches, like engraved filigree shaped like flames or gears near joints, or exposed inner workings that subtly glow with arcane heat when he speaks of the forge.He doesn’t dress like a traditional priest — no robes or vestments. Instead, Smith wears a simple yet meaningful cloak, dark blue with gold trim, as you mentioned. The gold could be threaded like veins through the fabric, reminiscent of dragonshards, and perhaps singed slightly at the hem — not carelessly, but as if it had been worn at the anvil and returned with honor.On his chestplate, the embossed holy symbol of the Sovereign Host takes pride of place — stylized in brass or bronze, with Onatar’s hammer dominant. You might picture it worked directly into his plating, like a blacksmith stamping a maker’s mark onto steel.Here's what it then produced:[ATTACH=full]407135[/ATTACH]This looks fantastic. I asked if it could do another version with a) a smoother forehead and b) the classic "two thick fingers and a thumb" warforged hand. I'll post what it comes up with when it's finished. But I can work with the above. The gear plus hammer emblem can be an emblem of Onatar, and I want to put the symbol of the Sovereign Host on his forehead (in place of the usual nation rune). I can also say that Smith has modified himself to have more human-like hands to improve his blacksmithing ability.</blockquote>
