Also I have no qualms with people playing them as droids or whatever. Especially if you're porting them to any setting other than the one they originate from. To each their own.Warforged in the original Eberron campaign setting had a bit of a mysterious origin. They actually are based on magic that predates the Cannith forges that you can encounter in Xen'drik. There's definitely some questionable stuff going on around them that I'm unaware of whether it was ever revealed or not. Building thousands of them to fight a war as slave proxies may have been a lot like growing infants into child soldiers in a lab because we understand the technology enough to do so. We call them constructs or treat them like drones, but in reality they were a lot like children indoctrinated to war and service, forged for war as it is. Caste and cast. And I do think it added something to some stories to see them as literally being born into their shell that was intended for a specific service. Maybe you grow up and want to be a simple caretaker for plants, but everything about you was built into fighting and dying on the front lines of a conflict where not a single other person cared about your welfare any-more than a headcount on a scroll.I'm totally open to whatever generally though.</blockquote>
