Why Handle Animal and Ride if the paragon class boosts construct-like abilities?

 

[reveal]

Because that's what Fighters get and their favored class is fighter.

Do warforged actually ride animals? If not, you might want to switch out those skills for something else.

What sort of AC boost do they get? I would assume that it is an enhancement bonus to natural armour, but it isn't clear.

I don't see why warforged couldn't ride animals. There's nothing against a warforged paladin, for example, and he/she would have a mount.

It's an enhancement bonus.

 

[Terath Ninir]

Well, I'm asking since I only vaguely know the setting. I don't know if there are Warforged cavalry or not.

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

You might just want to make it an unnamed bonus to their composite armor. Otherwise, it won't stack with any amulets of natural armor or enhancement bonuses on the plating.

 

[Crothian]

or just say that the +1 nat armor bonus stacks with other nat armor bonuses.....

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Exactly how heavy are Warforged? Wouldn't they crush nearly anything lighter than an elephant?

 

[dedicated]

No, they're made of metal and wood
