    Default Warforged Body Question

    Hello guys I need your help.
    Just started a warforged whos going to be using Evasion. So i would like to know what body type to use?
    Composite plating which is "no armor" or Mithral body which is "light armor".
    Im asking because there is no sign in wiki for the MRR cap/dodge cap diffrences. The only thing mentioned in the wiki is the arcane spell failure which I can handle both 5%/15%.

    Thanks in advance!

    MRR cap

    Light Armor: 100
    is your mrr over 100?

    Robes, Outfit, or empty armor slot: 50
    composite plating is no armor.

    Mithral body

    The downside of mithril body is it only has a max dex bonus of 5, so it severely limits your dodge score.

    Mithral Body is treated as light armor so it has base MRR cap of 100.

    This should really scale with level the same way light chain armors do. It's not like +8 MDB in epics would suddenly make Warforged OP but it would give them parity with Celestial Chainmail at least.

    You should be able to take Force of Nature enhancement: "You gain [10/15/20]% resistance against Force damage and +[1/2/3] Constitution. Your attunement to Nature is emboldened - Your Druidic Oath is no longer broken by wearing metal armor or shields."

    But I'm not leveling a WF druid to 12 just to test that!
