Tell me what you think.v Click down there v[sblock=Confidential Information for your eyes only.]Racial StatsPersonality: Unlike normal warforged (which they often call Blockies), Taeba Warforged are extremely social and talkative. Physical Description: Taebas have been liked to large dolls. Their arms are noticably longer than other humanoids, with wrists reaching just below their knees. Their actual body is a skeletal frame, usually fitted with oversized cloth clothing that can be either bolted or clipped in at the shoulders, hip, and head. Almost all taebas have large hoods that seem to conceal their entire face, other than for two colored orbs that are their eyes. The head itself is truely little more than a metal orb with a mouth and eyes.Relations: Although called Tin Cans by those who distrust normal warforged, Taebas usually fare better because their ((Usually) flamboyant clothing. emotive sense of self, and un-intimidating stature make them feel less 'dead' than normal warforged to people. Some however, especial normal warforged, think that Taebas are nothing more than ornaments, and sometimes can get very vocal about their dislike of their smaller 'brothers'.Alignment: Usually any non-evil, non-lawful. Most Taeba cannot stand being exiled from society by being evil, or the restrictions of being lawful. Ofcourse, there are exceptions such as Bolt, the Paladin.Taeba Lands: N/AReligion: Although not particulary religion or non-religious, Taebas have been known to represent the more outgoing sides of many religions such as the Silver Flame and even the Traveler.Language: CommonNickNames: Sfortzondo, Trumpet, Bottle, 5 Penny.Adventurers: Same as with normal warforged, but usually attracted to the idea of adventuring with others and glory.TAEBA RACIAL TRAITS<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stat Adjustment:-4 STR, -2 CON, +2 DEX, +2 CHA </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Skill Penalty -2 on all intimidate checks. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Size:Small </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Minimum carry weight: 50 Lbs. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Special:Can wear Clothes after having them modified.
