Diehard: Inherent or not in BF?

[LittleTinSoldier]

To test the iconic class (and because I'm a WF nut), I created a Bladeforged. As I got my Feats, Diehard was listed, which made me concerned so I took it out of necessity. However, I later Tested that I couldn't drown, and logged on with one of my WF characters, to check: she didn't have any indicator that WF have Diehard/ Inert Regeneration (not listed under Warforged Traits, though I know WF have it).

Hmmm...

I logged back onto the BF then, to respec out Diehard, in order to check if the character actually has it or not...I ended up heading out to Locania in the Marketplace for the Free Feat, rather than pick a bajillion fragments off the table necessary to make the Exceptional Siberys to appease Fred.

By doing so (I switched Diehard for Toughness btw), I got a message saying I had Enhancements dependent on Diehard (Defender of Siberys Prestige line), and thanks to the respec, I lost all of them (need to Re-enhance).

All to figure out if I fall to below zero hp and no monster coups me, if I will get up again.

It also means I've currently locked myself out of DoS unless I take Combat Mastery, Tower Shield or Shield Mastery...

Bladeforged are supposed to get the same racial benefits as Warforged. While Warforged automatically stabilize, they do not innately have the Diehard Feat. Bladeforged work the same way.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Bladeforged are supposed to get the Diehard feat.

Why is that?

Warforged already have an equivalent ability as part of their race that bladeforged should get. Is it just so they can qualify for the defender prestige without spends additional feats?

You are correct KrelarVersion2. I misremembered the feats that Warforged automatically gain. I have edited my mistake

Any way to add that to the Warforged Racial Benefits description? It would be beneficial to remember that they have something similar to, yet not covering the requirements of, the Diehard Feat.


Also, is there any chance of changing Defender of Siberys I to reflect that Bladeforged/ Warforged already have something Diehard-like? I know taking a Feat in Tower Shield, Combat Mastery or Shield Mastery would also allow for DoS I, but it feels frustrating to have to do so.
