Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hellcow" data-source="post: 2934974" data-attributes="member: 15800">Correct on both counts. House Cannith was able to produce something like 2,000 warforged/year (averaging over the period... fewer initially, more at the end). And while we've talked about warforged coming out with skill, that is a slightly exaggeration. If one refers to the Dragonshards, they DID require a period of training: it's simply the case that they advanced to the 2nd-level mark in a remarkable short period of time, attaining a level of skill one couldn't expect from a standard boot camp trainee. So yes, if you had to literally push the warforged out the door the moment he emerged from the forged, you WOULD be dealing with a lack of skill; it's all about the swift acquisition of skill, getting a soldier in a few months that you'd be lucky to get with years of training otherwise.  And while a warforged is certainly more reliable than the average slave, a) that's why the cost is bumped up to the maximum value listed for a slave of that level, and b) as Kishin has pointed out, warforged DON'T always come out right or do what you expect them to. That training period involved heavy indoctrination and efforts to supress warforged emotion, but it wasn't always successful, as warforged like Indigo, Harmattan, and the Lord of Blades show.Anyhow, I'll let it rest there, as I have other matters to attend to. The 1,500 gp figure is a suggestion, and in no way official; if you don't like it, Barak, you're certainly free to change it to whatever seems reasonable to you.</blockquote>
