[QUOTE="Barak, post: 2930516, member: 3028"] Ok, so I've come to this thread late,a nd the point I'm answering to was raised a while ago. But, IMHO, it was never answered satisfactorly. Yes, Golems are "XP bags" that shouldn't be PC races. They are not alone! So are mindless undeads, oozes, plants, animals and magical beasts. I don't want unicorns or Gelatinous Cubes as PCs. In 99% of my campaigns, I also don't want aberrations as PCs! Sure, in every case, I -could- come up with an explanation. I could make it relevant in the setting. But just because you can doesn't mean you should. Yes, Warforged make sense within the framework of Eberron. Doesn't mean all DMs should like the idea. And while it's perfectly alright to like Eberron, it's perfectly alright to hate it too. And if the reason you hate it is that Golems/robots as PCs rub you the wrong way, well, that's reason enough. I do have that Gelatinous Cube Paladin character... [/QUOTE]
