If one character, if one player, doesn't need to worry about, say, some poisonous spider lurking in his armor in the morning after sleeping in a thick jungle, or a disease getting ahold of him while he explores the dank sewers, he is missing out. Not to mention that, soon after other characters have to deal with that stuff, there's a good chance that the entire party *does* become warforged, simply to gain a better chance of survival.Well, I'd rather elves didn't have sleep immunity, either. But it comes up more rarely because it's one narrow immunity instead of several very broad immunities.Well, if warforged weren't designed in such a binary fashion, they'd be able to be in more campaigns, and thus be a better-designed race. The best design for races allows them to be played in as many different kinds of adventures as possible, with certain methods that are successful, since campaigns often consist of many different kinds of adventures that the same party is supposed to run through. Idiot savant design is okay for monsters (though they should still have some deapth), but it's lousy for PC's because of that.They force an exception to the rule, and that's not cool.</blockquote>
