New Race: The Warforged

[kitteninablender]

The Warforged, I know, are a race from Eberron. But as more and more people have asked Salim to build them "Deadly Golems" it hit me:

Solaris' Cult's friend is RPing a Golem-like creature that Salim built for her. So it dawned on me:

The Warforged could probably fit in here, would be an exciting choice RP-wise for players, and I think I've got them mostly balanced for NWN2 stats.

Warforged:

Type Construct (Living)

+2 Constitution, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma.

Darkvision 60ft

Sleepless: Warforged do not sleep, and thus are immune to any form of magical sleep.

Mechanical Body: Warforged receive a +2 on saves against Paralysis, Poison, and disease.

Medium Armor Proficiency: All Warforged are proficient with Medium Armor.

Automatic Languages: Common and Lantanese

Favored Class: Fighter

Level Adjustment +0

Granted, I know this tends to be an Eberron race. But it's not entirely Eberron specific. It gives instances in the Eberron guides for putting them into Faerun. Primarily, of course, putting them in Lantan. Ergo, as they would naturally come from Lantan, they gain Lantanese as a free language.

Is this something that people would be interested in seeing here?

[Meatiest]

I love this! Could there be a feat only available to warforged that gives 25% fortification? So 100% with 4 feats?

[EasternCheesE]

No need to sleep, built for fight... All loot grinders must take

[Planehopper]

I would be more interested in this than seeing players RP as something not on their character sheet.

Is there DM approval to RP a player-crafted golem? Or even crafting a golem in the first place?

Overall I dont think it maintains Forgotten Realms flavor and wouldn't want to see it on the server. Perhaps if the lore was reworked to something that made sense it would be more appealing?

The very last thing I want is more wall-breaking RP about cyborg BS disguised as golem-talk.

[Thaelis]

So long as maximized Crumble works on them, and their battery pack is designed to break after one year to force you to buy a new one then I'm cool with it.

[athornforyourheart]

NO. Straight up ... NO.

[Tanlaus]

Not really part of the FR lore. Having a bunch of sentient golems hanging out at the campfire is just... odd. Not to mention ToT would end them.

[ARHicks00]

There aren’t any war forged mods anyhow

This.
There's enough 4th-wall-breaking on this server already. No need for any more of such.
I'd be curious about why the staff approved of that char, as well.

So Warforged are in Dungeons and Dragons Online (DDO) in Faerun even. I think the story goes something like this:

Lolth can use the demonweb to connect to other worlds, sucking them into the demonweb. She tries to do that to Eberron after being called by a demon in Khyber. That connection allows you to travel through the demonweb into Faerun.

[Hoihe]

I would rather us not get close to non-FR settings. We already have far too many times people drawing from Greyhawk or Dragonlance in discussions of souls and whatnot. Eberron would make that a million times worse, especially considering the weirdness of warforged.

[Ewe]

I don't think it's worse at all, it's proven very successful in DDO and is wildly popular among players.

[Planehopper]

This isn't DDO. This is a RP server based in a world and time specific, and while custom lore is welcomed and indeed used frequently here due to extensive player actions and RP - this bends the theme and immersion a bit much for me.

We aren't and have never wanted to be an mmo.

I think KiB is right on point, especially with this:

It seems like a no-brainer inclusion to me.

[Rhifox]

Please no.
