Warforged 4th edition problems

the last one is missing the + one half your level

That's because it's a pregen. The 1/2 level part is missing, because: 1/2 x 1 = 1/2, and that's rounded down. Note how it rises to "4 hit points" on 2nd level.

The pregens are not containing the full text, but only a version with all numbers plugged in.

Cheers, LT.

Because it's applied to a 1st level character. When that 1st level character reaches 2nd level, he will then have 4 points.

Seriously man, you pulled the 3rd one off a character sheet. It even tells you what happens when the character levels up.

Nothing (D&D always rounds down).

The 2nd and 3rd are the same. The only difference is is that they are showing you on that pregen character what it goes to if/when he levels. They just did the math for you already like they do with all their pregens.

They only put the stuff in the back of the MM to allow people who cant wait to play one of those races. And like all monsters and races in the MM they dont follow the same rules as player characters do.

So you basically have the benefit of them putting out the fleshed out Warforged rules for you early.

I would have rather seen Gnomes or (Heaven Forbid) Drow get fleshed out now since FR is the 1st realm to be released. They could have waited to release the Warforged until next year around the time the Eberron books come out. But thats just my preference.

Drow and other FR races will be fleshed out fully in a couple of months, either in the FR players book, or in DDI as part of some sort of FR "push", Eberron races are getting fleshed out now so that people who want to play in Eberron fon't have to wait 18 months for good racial stats.

The hardcover feat is the correct one. The other two are correct if the DM is using the "Playing Warforged PDF" in the game.

The 1st is for NPCs. Please read that chapter's introduction to understand why.

Well, the one from the Monster Manual is intended to be for use of making NPCs, but with the DM's permission can be played as a player character (As stated per the MM). The pdf from the dragon magazine was the warforged race with the players in mind, but as pulling from a source the DM doesn't have/hasn't read is generally taboo, it's also per DM permission.

Either way it's per DM permission. Neither one is more "correct" than the other. It's whatever is agreed upon in the group, but I'm sure you'll find more people using the PDF than the MM because it's designed for PCs. One of the design concepts of 4e was that monsters are designed different than PCs, so they get different things.
