[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1777808, member: 2205"] Hey, Rem, any chance I can convince you to give a quick two or three paragraph description of your homebrew? It'd help a lot in integrating the warforged. I can think of ways to integrate them into [i]my[/i] homebrew, but that's because I know all about my homebrew and how they'd fit without seeming to just be thrown in. For example, in my homebrew, the PC races are all former slaves, bred from a common human stock for specific functions, much the way we've bred cattle, dogs, horses, etc. for specific roles in our society. In my campaign, I could easily posit that these same breeders developed the warforged, and indeed, intended to phase out the human(oid) slaves entirely. This finally sparked the revolt that freed the slaves, but it also leaves wide open the possibilities of warfarged doing all kinds of weird things. Were they also freed, and now have to try and integrate into a human society that fears and distrusts them for what they were intended to be? Do they go their own way and now form their own nations and societies, for the most part? Do they still, mostly, serve the remnants of the former masters? Or some mix of all three? But all of that is based on my concept of these breeders; it wouldn't work at all in most other campaign settings. If I had some ideas about your setting; what it's like, what are its themes, etc. I could probably think of ways to put the warforged in there as well. [/QUOTE]
