Giants created warforged in their fights with the Quori, as well

Yup, just found that, actually.

Can't find a source in the sourcebooks, but I'm guessing it's in one of the novels.

I really should get to reading those sometime.

eh, Keith's alright. not a big fan of Eberron in general myself.

The thing about the Eberron setting is there's pretty much no reason to play anything except warforged artificers and warforged juggernauts

would someone take this droid down to maintenance and have its memory banks erased? its starting to act funny... babbling on about souls and such.

it's just got a couple dents in the head. just tap it out with with this smiting hammer.

I'm a big fan of the noir-city feel in Sharn. Not everything has to be Jungles of Xen'drik exploration.

I have 2 Theories on Warforged

1. Warforged are Host Bodies for Heroic Souls that the afterlife (aka study hall) could not contain. The transition wiped away the memories of these Souls but their basic Heroic Nature could not be wiped away... I mean how many WF do you see running around as store clerks... not many

2. They are in fact Gnomish Power Armor and if we crack them open we will find a withered old Gnome in there reminiscent of Darth Vader or the Dalecks

I know, but why play anything except a warforged artificer, specifically? Assuming we're talking about 3.5 of course.

As an artificer, you can:
- craft virtually for free
- cast arcane spells two levels before a wizard can
- cast divine spells two levels before a cleric can
- turn undead better than a cleric
- wildshape like a druid
- do everything a rogue can
- infuse yourself with buffs that last 10 times as long as arcane and divine casters

I like to say artificers can do everything that everybody can do, except an artificer can do it better.

Rogue: Evasion/Improved Evasion, Trapfinding
Wizard/Sorcerer/Cleric/Druid: 7th-9th level spells

There are plenty of reasons. For instance, roleplaying. Not everybody twinks their PnP character. Some of them flesh them out and build them accordingly.

[Demoyn]

Okay here goes. I am a sentient construct, brought to life to serve you people in your stupid war. After my service in the war, I am tossed away and treated with scorn and derision by a large segment of society. I presevered, prospered, thought and eventually gained a measure of self awareness and may i dare say it a "SOUL". I am a living being my biomechanism is just a little different than yours.

I am still capable of joy and humor, kindness and loyalty and kicking the butt of the next clerical type that says "oh sorry I don't do Warforged"

Who's the moron creater that gave you tear ducts? There's no crying in toast making!

Artificer: crafts a ring of evasion, and already has trapfinding as a class feature
an artificer can craft an item to cast time stop, a 9th level arcane spell, at 15th level.

Hey, I didn't write the rules.

Refute my secondary point about roleplay over rollplay.

im off to go play my gnome illusionist arcane trickster at a weekly session, definitely not a optimized character but fun to play.

Ha! I knew it!

(Also; I generally tweak numbers on my characters. You should see me doing it when playing Shadowrun.)

I feel like the new shadowrun overpowered Mages... Its like there is no reason to play anything else.

I may have missed something but it definately seemed off

I've got the 4th Ed books, but haven't touched them. Long live (heavily houseruled) 2nd Ed!

Artificers can create a trinket of +1 personality at first level, thereby roleplaying one better than anybody else.

I dunno. I remember when I used to play, the first thing NPCs yelled in any encounter was "Geek the mage!" I developed a complex, and Docwagon doesn't cover mental health.

That's the outcry for every game with any form of magic. Healers and casters first, hard-hitting melee second, everything else last.

[Narmolanya]

I always heal warforged in my party but I think there is something called a repair spell. Why do warforged players never complain about wizzy or sorc not casting repair? Save Cleric mana for fleshies where it is more effective.

[VonBek]

Because we learned to survive by our merits or go inert.
