Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragonbait" data-source="post: 4482513" data-attributes="member: 29182">If you allow Warforged in your Forgotten Realms game (and you have to if it's by the RAW of a Living campaing like dm4hire brought up) then they could be: - Creations of old Thay, prior to the undead takeover (I have not read the FR book so I'm vague on current events). - A creation from some empire of Abier and brought over in smaller numbers than the Dragonborn.- Golems brought to life in the Spellwarped regions. Just tossing some ideas out there. As for the second part - I've encountered the same situation with weird PC characters. The worst thing you can do is ignore it. You really lose something of a character when you ignore such a huge aspect like that.  Instead, maybe skip over the explanation part (let the play say "I explain to him what I am" after RPing the initial reaction). Or maybe the NPC does not ask what the Warforged is and instead talks to others thinking the PC is a tool/weapon/unintelligent golem, etc.. Maybe someone wants to buy pieces of the 'forge's body? Maybe someone just stares at the 'forge during a conversation. You can play things like this and it can convey the idea that the Warforged is unusual without just doing the same routine of "What the heck are you?" over and over again. You could do this for other races too. Like drow, Deva, and other rare races. It reminds people that their group does NOT represent a standard Realm's population breakdown. Drow, gnomes, warforged, and the like are very unusual sights.</blockquote>
