[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 1595223, member: 192"] Note, I'm also going by Dragon #318. If someone with the ECS can weigh with info whether some things have changed, that would be good. With 5% arcane spell failure. Not much, but it is there. Also, constructs would normally be immune to critical hits. And since it is wearing that armor, it cannot wear other armor or magical robes. Except that spells from the healing subschool have only half effect on warforged. And at -1 to -9 hp, they're still helpless and unconcious, and cannot act. Yep, that is a load of immunities, but still far less than less than normal constructs get. It is not immune to mind-affecting effects, death effects, necromancy effects, non-lethal damage, critical hits, ability damage and ability drain. Along with being considered wearing heavy armor (speed 20), a Max Dex bonus to AC of +1, a -5 armor check penalty and an arcane spell failure of 35%. You're stuck with the armor choice you have to make at first level forever. The highest level friendly cleric is level 18, and is confined to a single temple complex, or something like that. Outside, she is an 11 year old child with the power of a 3rd level cleric. The only higher level potential ally is a 20th level druid. And he is a tree. Not a treant, a tree. I'm not saying that they are not powerful. I'm still debating whether they are overpowered or not myself, but these are a few things that have to be kept in mind. [/QUOTE]
