But if a campaign uses a tone to develop a theme and a structure, it is a problem. With adventures being designed like storytelling, many campaigns use tone to develop a theme and structure. Check out the rules for disease in Nyambe, or the way the undead plague spreads in Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, or how Heroes of Horror develops fear that can peirce the heart of even paladins.That's what is limiting about them. I can't use them in pretty much any situation because of that. Elves have a less-severe version of the same problem, and I hold it against them, too, but no other race has the number of problems that the Warforged do, and they have that problem purely because of the idiot savant method of design.What I say doesn't just sound sensible, it *is.* Not everyone is going to have a problem with the warforged, but they can cause significant problems because of their design in a lot of campaigns. Maybe it's only 30% of campaigns, maybe only 10%, but it's a lot more than the elf, and it's still more than the halflings, dwarves, gnomes, half-orcs, half-elves and humans.</blockquote>
