[QUOTE="FnordBear, post: 3041460, member: 15897"] Hrm Here would be my suggestions. (Note you will want access to Tome of Magic, Races of Eberron, Heros of Horror, and Dragon# 341) Warforged The Warforged are a mysterious race of living constructs that are "native" to the island of Machina. There they operate ancient creation forges from the eras of the ancient empire to maintain thier numbers. Warforged society is very military themed. Each warforged has a name and rank assigned to it based on his performance in society. A basketweaver for instance, who practiced his trade for 50 years and became highly proficent, may eventually be promoted by the local government to be Lt. We-Var of Basketweaver Platoon 78. Warforged religion revolves around the beings that inhabit the plane of Mechanus and they consider Modrons and Inveitables to be beings worthy of song and praise. The Warforged government is a military theocracy governed by a cabal binders (See Tome of Magic), all of which summon and bind the vestige Primus (see Dragon 341) Most Warforged who are granted the rank of "Cleric" are in fact multiclassed Binders/Archivists(See Heros of Horror). Warforged are mostly lawful by nature and neutral by disposition. If a Warforged takes cleric levels, inevitably it is for the concept of Lawful Neutral with Law and one other domain that suits the individual Warforged as thier chosen domain. Warforged are a powerful seafaring presence as well. A pirate has to have iron resolve, a well armed ship, and a bit of a suicidal nature to take on a Warforged irconclad. Warforged have even been know to make war on the mainland, sending fleets of irconclads slowly over the ocean while a vast army of Warforged march tirelessly across the ocean floor. Warforged Heroes Fighters and rangers are the most common heroic class among thier "race" reflecting thier martial society. Barbarians and Paladins are virtualy unkown in Warforged society. The barbarian mindset of chaos is alien to most Warforged and the dedication to good is generally beyond the nature of most warforged. Rogues are very rare and found mostly in elite military units as scouts and rangers. Bards hold a special place in Warforged society. Bards provide what many consider the one redeaming value of Warforged society, song. Warforged Bards sing long lamenting dirges about thier fallen comrades and heroes. It is said by many, even the elves, a Warforged funeral dirge is at once the most beautiful and most heartwrenching music that can be found. Clerics and Druids are rare but not unheard of in Warforged society. As mentioned previously most Warforged clerics worshing the Lawful Neutral concept.
