suggestion for u23

Did they ever adjust Mithral Body to compensate for the automatic Max Dex Bonus increases that equivalent light armour gets for free and without which you are horrendously sabotaging your light armour character? If not, then it would be great if they would; although, they are at least making heavy armour more viable across the board so there'll be some possibility of just sticking with that arbitrarily if needs be.

Warforged, yes. Bladeforged, no.

Thematically that just doesn't work for me. Bladeforged are paladins (or blackguards, as you wish), the quintisential heavy armour types. I realise BF don't need more power, but you really couldn't justify it for WF and not BF.

I think I wouldn't mind seeing BF be forced to take a heavy armour body, with all the benefits and penalties that go with, whereas warforged (which thematically speaking are standard basic templates designed to be modified according to the needs of the war) might get a choice for free.

Note: thats a 'suggestion if a freebie body feat was to be given', not 'I think there should be freebie body feats'. I think that in the disease and poison changes that those previously immune deserved a little better than they got - but that applies across the board not just WF/BF, and rectifying that should be by way of improvements to the effectiveness/reliability of the revised 'immunities', not new freebies like body feats.

The other way to deal with the body feats is to make them a chain of racial enhancements.

This is the big thing for me here. As a Dex Based character it's impossible and just a HORRIBLE idea to select any of the body feats. Your Max Dex to AC cap is the same as a low level fleshy character and never really goes up. If this scaled correctly either with character level or with Docent I'd finally be able to take Mithral Body or even Adamantine Body on my Paladin.
