Warforged - Discussion & Ideas

[~Johnny~]

I wonder if the rules in the Eberron Campaign Settign will be extensive enough to create other types of living constructs.

A tireless horse is a good investment.

I'd handle that with a wand of mount, actually. If you want a better combat companion, a plain old construct ought to be able to handle tireless transportation duties. I think "living" constructs will be limited to things that need to be smart.

In any case, there are some hints at non-humanoid constructs. One leaked image shows an archer fighting what looks like a big mechanical lobster:

Pity we don't know what the Living Construct type does with its HD yet (i.e. BAB, saves, etc), or if it's even different from Construct.

Actually, the Living Construct type gets HD, BAB, Saves, and Skill points from its class levels only (no racial HD). See the article in Dragon magazine, issue 318.

Heh! D&D's had mechanical lobsters since AD&D 1 at least: the Apparatus of Kwalish!
