Warforged an resurrection

First Post
Quick ?, can a warforged juggernaught of 5th level be resurrected. The Errata says at 5th lvl. they become immune to all healing spells. Just wondering, cause, you know, I died...
:\

Thanks in advance!

Well, it is Conjouration(Healing). Clone, however, is Necromancy... on the chance you're not immune to that school. Of course, that requires a piece of you from when you were alive...
 


Well, there's always Reincarnate (a transmutation), though that might not be what you're looking for either (since you've just lost those five levels of juggernaught).
 

The price of being a fully-developed killing machine is a one-shot life. Once you're gone, you're gone. Then again, since the Juggernaut is basically seeing himself as a tool, a machine, perhaps wanting to come back is the wrong attitude. If you were destroyed (not killed of course!) achieving your objectives, then that's a reasonable trade.
 

By the RAW, the existing raise-type spells will not work on you. Sorry. But if your DM is willing to bring you back, there may be ways to bend the rules in other places.

Just as there are repair damage spells that serve you instead of cures, perhaps in your gameworld there is a revive living construct spell that will work on juggernauts. Your party could seek out a person who knows that spell, or who can duplicate it with wish or miracle.

Or, perhaps someone with the Craft Construct feat can invest some time and XP to revive you. If you're in Eberron, the party should haul your corpse to the nearest Cannith enclave and ask for their help. In other gameworlds, find a big city and ask for a wizard who makes golems.
 

I'm pretty sure there's a 5th or 6th-level Artificer infusion that acts as a Raise Dead for constructs. Either that or Wish/Miracle, I suppose.

What's the moral of this story? Once you get brought back, don't take that 5th Juggernaut level again! :)

Edit: having taken a look, I guess I was wrong. Looks like your options are Reincarnate, Wish, and Miracle.

High five!

SRD (Reincarnate) said:
For a humanoid creature, the new incarnation is determined using the following table. For nonhumanoid creatures, a similar table of creatures of the same type should be created.

I think that table ought to have warforged, warforged scouts, and a small chance of a warforged charger. I think Juggernaught will still work with any of those.
 

I think this wanders off into how you think the whole soul-body-mind deal works. IMC Living Constructs are specially manufactured vessels that a Creation Forge can re-incarnate into life. Without the Forge you can still Raise Dead as the soul retains its ties to the bady it was forged into, however a normal reincarnate would bring the soul back into a humanoid form.

Based on this, your 5th level Juggernaught would have only one shot to do it right. How I would deal with a reincarnated Juggernaught, mechanically speaking, is something I would have to figure out... cause I have no idea :)

Role-playing-wise, it would make for a very interesting character!
