[QUOTE="Cryptos, post: 4303619, member: 58439"] It's a large part of their benefit as a race, so I'd say it's ok for them to let them use an implement hands-free. Being a construct gives them: Not needing to eat, drink or breathe, which is more of an RP benefit than a gameplay benefit in most 4e games, it seems. So that leaves the benefits of being a construct as a +2 to save against ongoing damage, being active and alert during extended rests, taking 10 on a dying save. Along with the racial power, stat, defense and skill bonuses that every race gets. If their stat bonuses were more directly beneficial to a typical wizard build, I might agree its too much. Extra CON doesn't hurt anyone, but it doesn't directly aid the cause of being a wizard specifically. Without the embedded implement benefit, almost every Warforged would be a fighter. (Or at the very least most likely martial.) This will give the race some diversity. If not sleeping or eating, and not dying when you take a lot of punishment is the criteria for being a construct, then Amy Winehouse tweaking on meth must be a Warforged. Let them have the attached / embedded implement. [/QUOTE]
