[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 3786209, member: 54846"] I'm just going to quote two people for emphasis because I really agree with what they're saying, and expand upon it. Absolutely. This "Warforged are made of all artificial parts" is wrong. The organic material is roots, wood, and stone. Warforged are basically men with wood skin, roots for guts/joints, a little stone here and there, and metal slapped on as a protective coating. Aside from the metal and the stone bits, it's all organic, baby. And more specifically, they are not built. Someone activates the Magic Thingie that casts [i]Fabrication[/i], and it poops out a fully formed warforged from thin air. Also, Warforged are not "I don't know who I am and I'm lost". Warforged have a [i]purpose[/i], they know who they are, it's just that "Who they are" does not fit in the world that they are now in. It would be more appropriate to Slaves, who have always been slaves, whose parents and grandparents were slaves, are suddenly handed freedom. They don't know what to DO with themselves now. Indeed. As someone else said: "Eberron doesn't have magic and technology - it lacks TECHNOLOGY and has magic filling in the place." While this may seem like a semantic distinction, it's an important one. THere is no guns or gunpowder. Electricity? Nope. Mass-produced CONTINUAL FLAME items provide light. The Lightning Rail doesn't run on electricity or steam; electric energy basically picks it up off the ground so that the Air Elemental that powers it can push it forward. [/QUOTE]
