Warforged - that issue does not rear it's head in either the ficitonal creation of, or the game-mechanical creation of an Iron Born.  The method, mechanics, cost, and limitations keep Iron Born an interesting, but by no means an overpowering or underwhelming, in-game option.I'm also very impressed that Mearls built an ingenious way for a DM to control the population of Iron Born in his campaign: by controlling the abundance, cost, and ease of obtaining the Codex Ferranium, the DM has a rules-counscious but entirely in-game and story-plausable way of explaining the population of Iron-Born in his campaign.All-in-all, I think it's a wonderful product.  I had high hopes, and it far exceeds my expectations.</blockquote>
