Would love to see another construct race added to DDO!

[9rileystep]

I know we already have warforged/bladeforged but it would be nice to see a 3rd Construct race added to the DDO lineup.....

I recommend the "Half-Forged"

Bonus's depending on how "forged" the character is, stat bonus customization with all currently available humanoid races. Perhaps you could even make it an Iconic Artificer.

[systemshaker1941]

I've been thinking the same thing. Give one more race the ability to use docents! Not to mention all the other warforged-specific stuff like repair spells/power.

Another thing that might be interesting is an actual undead race. Palemasters can become undead, but then you're at least partially committed to wizard. Having a race that was just undead to begin with could be really interesting, especially if they gained the different forms(zombie, vampire, litch, etc) as they level(though maybe not with quite as many benefits) would be cool.

The challenge would be working out healing. Might need to add a new spell or two to the game that undeads can UMD(since death aura and Negative Energy Burst scrolls arent for sale).

Warforged Envoy, maybe ?

In general, it's not a bad idea to have more variety with non-positive-healing races. At this point in time, they are just annoying. Like, really, really annoying. Noone can heal you when you're WF or PM, and no, your self-healing in reaper is not good enough. As someone who heals others a lot, I'd say they should all die.
BUT! If there were more of them (and we're talking about f2p options here), it would become more reasonable to plan for them being in the party. However, that's only one step, so let's take a look at the rest:

1. Introduce 2 options for undead (maybe a Vampire race and maybe an option for Clerics via their domain), 2 for constructs
2. Rework healing options for healing classes (FavS, Cleric, Druid). Add a level 8 or 9 spell that heals pure HP or whichever healing is appropriate (like the Bard song, so it's technically feasible). Shouldn't be OP, but a valid option to heal non-discriminately.
3. Make Harm work properly. Right now, you have to intensely look at your target. I've played healers before that had harm for PMs (when reaper was new and there were still too many PM out there^^), it's just horribly hard.
4. Give healing classes access (via enhancements or spells) to repair spells (without clogging too many spell slots in the wake of it). Proper healers would those have an explosion of hotkeys while meh healers can just use the spell described in 2.
5. Rejuvenating Cocoon should heal everyone with their highest amp.

There probably is a race they could include as part of a much-needed spell jammer expansion...

Clockwork goblins, anyone?

[Yokido]

I think this post might sink to the bottom of the lake with how dense it is. The more war-forged there are, the better! I'll fish them out of whatever body of water they sink and get stuck in.



Are you a lower-end model? That's okay! I'll scrap that too!

[NemesisAlien]

Clockwork goblins, anyone?

[Xgya]

They're pushing racial variants.
Warforged Scout is definitely a racial variant on Warforged.

My friend calls them "Smolforged". (I guess that makes Warforged Juggernauts, or, as DDO calls them, Bladeforged, Swoleforged)
