Anyway, my only comment on the thread before the crash was for one of my monsters, so here is an idea for another one, which I have done most of the numbers work for statting up, but need to put in a more finished form...The Warforged Dragon (Yes, I hear your groans, but bare with me for a moment.)Deep within the subterranean vaults of the City of Making, a small group of Cannith artificers worked in secret for many years on a new prototype for a warforged. Not your typical humanoid warforged however, a mighty creature based on the sketches and diaries of an explorer who had stumbled upon a wild dragon's lair centuries ago. The men and women of this small group had finished fashioning the body of the warforged. The neck was too short, and the tail not quick as thick as the real thing, but it was close enough. The body was crafted from vast quantities of mithral, and also incorporated soarwood into its construction. The viscious looking teeth and claws were fashioned from adamantine. They were less than half a year away from putting it into the creation forge to finish the creature when the Day of Mourning struck.What exactly happened to the prototype after that can not be said, and no living construct ever resulted from their labours, but some power, a fell power, animated the body of the warforged dragon and imbued it with intelligence, albeit a rather weak one. The gargantuan machine was first reported to have been sighted in 995, over a year after the Day of Mourning. Few accounts exist detailing confrontations with the dragon, but those that do tell of the deadly effectiveness of its adamantine weapons, and the slashing wings, which mysteriously allow it to fly despite the fact that the prepared material was never stretched between its segments. One report, made by a kalashtar warrior travelling with an expedition into the Mournland, speaks of the creature utilizing powers akin to his own races psionics. The dragons most horrifying ability though, is its " breath " . Stories tell of the awful power of a dragons breath, be it fire, lightning or frost, and this construct has one as well. The power of it though comes not from the flames it breathes, for they are not so hot as to be instantly deadly, but from the fact that the flames writhe and dance, becoming like the living spells reported to roam the Mournland. And the dragon summons many, many living spells of fire.Some believe that the warforged dragon is a creature of the Lord of Blades, but they are wrong. The dragon is feral, at least as feral as a machine can be, and has attacked and destroyed the followers of the Lord of Blades before. While the warforged dragon has never been spotted outside of the mists surrounding the Mournland, it would be foolish to assume that it can't leave the blasted ruins of Cyre. Should one ever encounter it, the only sensible course of action is to flee. The alternative, as has been demonstrated in every existing account, is to die.The Warforged Dragon is a gargantuan construct with the psionics subtype, with 20 HD, manifests as a 10th level wilder, and notable possesses a vulnerability to electricity, and an immunity to sonic. I have yet to determine the caster level of the living burning hands spells created by its breath weapon, but they will likely be either 5 or 10, or maybe some of both.</blockquote>
