Message: <blockquote data-quote="AuraSeer" data-source="post: 1989824" data-attributes="member: 1331">Is there a rule I've missed that would let a warforged be a druid? I think there would be a lot of RP potential in that combination. The character knows that his race is outside the cycles of nature, having been manufactured fully grown, so he turns to druidic teachings in an effort to understand other living things.However, the base warforged cannot use druid abilities. He can take levels in the class, but because he's always "wearing" metal armor, he is unable to use wildshape or cast spells. I've checked all the books I have, but I can't find a way around this. Have I missed something? Is there a reason (other than flavor) why warforged must be useless as druids, and weakened as arcane casters?If there's no balance reason, would it be unbalanced to create a feat allowing it? Call it "Organic Body" or some such, and have it lower the innate armor to the equivalent of leather (+1 AC, 0 ASF, 0% ASF). Clearly it'd be a house rule, but would it be balanced?(A more flavorful option would be to have a template called "Dragonhide Body," giving the warforged a large non-metallic armor bonus plus some other stuff, in exchange for +1 ECL. But that could have a whole thread of its own.)</blockquote>
