3:09: Sentry's rest does not reduce the time needed for a long rest, it merely reduces the amount of time you must spend in sleep-mode from 6 hours to 4. You still gotta limit yourself to light activity such as keeping watch or studying your spellbook.
So, warforged's Envoy sub"race" allows you to be built with an internally mounted tool you are proficient with. Soldier background adds land or sea vehicle proficiency which are listed under tools; Could you be a walking mech suit? Assuming it was the tool you were forged with, y'all could have some mini Titanfall BTs
Because every class likes Constitution, it can pick and choose any two other ability scores, gains essentially a longer trance for long rest, has a poison resistance and immunity to disease, doesn't even need to breathe, eat, or drink, and basically gains a bonus to AC without even needing to wear armor *on top of* skill and tool proficiencies. In other words, pretty much a better half elf in every way aside from Charisma-based classes.
The warforge as a concept is pretty cool to introduce into any settings because they are mini golems I can imagine magocracies such as the red wizards of thay creating them to be an army with absolute loyalty so if ever need to give a villain an unquestioning loyal army make them warforged.
If they dont keep themselves maintained then yes. Kind of like how us fleshies start to stink if we dont bathe. Also, rust monsters, and oozes are DEADLY for a warforged

I had a player run a Paladin Warforge named Church who went to Catholic School before being a murder robot and during every boss encounter, every time he'd use Smite, he'd shout "TIME TO WITNESS A GODLY ASS BEATINGS"
I feel like a few things are missing from the guide, but all in all pretty nice, thank you for summing things up! The only things of any real note is that they get their own unique magic weapons in the form of literally replacing their arm with a weapon that they can also remove should they want their hand back, and then there is their little buddy they can implant into themselves to give them a little extra spunk and if I recall some extra skills.
I made an Envoy Warforged Wizard named Whiskey. He has built in brewer’s supplies that let him make and dispense drinks from his own body. After wandering the wilderness and experimenting with all natural (occasionally poisonous) ingredients, his dream is to become the world’s best bartender.
I love warforged. I practically begged my gm to add them to his homebrew world. idk if anyone wants some npcs to use in their EBN campaign, but you can use my pc if you like. My warforged is called "bishop" and his "twin brother" who he was made to mirror is called "rook". Rook and I are very similar, but Rook made his own path among nobles as a bodyguard while I became an adventurer to "never stop fighting for the forces of good". Our alignments are lawful good and Neutral good. personality wise, we are very different, despite obvious visual similarities. I intend to switch to another warforged if bishop dies, but not Rook. In our setting, a megacity made the warforged as a "noble guard" that protected the royal family and other lesser nobles (but were also given as gifts) during times of strife. Now that the city is safe again, we have fallen from grace since our novelty has worn off (warforged are expensive to produce and even more costly to buy, and didn't like being owned after the huge initial investment). My group, "The Iron Brigade" served a noble family that was caught stealing funds from the city, and we've been surviving in the slums ever since. The "Iron Brigade" are as follows: Bishop and Rook - good bois Ivy - an angry wizard with a "screw loose" that taught Bishop How 2 majik (CG) Sixteen - a sneaky warforged that only knows killing. Is an apathetic assassin for hire that only wants to get out of poverty, and cares little for mortal folk (TN/N Impure) Crunch - crunch likes to punch. (L Stupid)

@@pandagamer-hg5be gives him a single shot projectile, still doesn't levitate or heal others. Furthermore, the multiple force shots of a reskinned eldritch blast is more akin to zen's orbs then a single shot of radiant damage
I have a warforged that loves to mess with people by just staring at them from a distance. Just no blinking. Watching the person feel threatened and uncomfortable.
I really like the idea of a warforged monk. As they wander trying to find purpose, they find their way to a remote monastery where they learn to meditate and slowly expand their consciousness, possibly even creating a villain that has connected his consciousness to hundreds of other warforged, creating a massive hive mind army.
It's really not that hard to get plate early on to be honest. Not to mention warforged actually have to integrate the armor to have it, so you don't have to start with plate.
@@RolandTheJabberwocky What? Thats what i'm saying, warforged don't need plate armour so they have an advantage at the earlier levels than the characters who have to buy it. Plus it costs 1.5k, so it is pretty hard to get at level 1-3 at least.
I have so far seen two Warforged PCs in action, in separate games. Both are the obvious "21 AC at Level 1" type Juggernaut builds and are unbelievably good tanks. One was a fighter named Wall ("I am Wall! Wall will protect!"), with the cavalier subclass to defend everyone around him better. The other PC was a paladin... who was 'raised' by a family of halflings... named, if I remember correctly, Robin Smallburrow... who was sent out questing mostly so he would stop breaking everything he touched and getting stuck in the burrows. Both were pretty amusing characters, Wall for how his player played up his naivete about everything out of combat; and Robin for being a genuinely well-meaning oaf who kept trying to talk down monsters (...and actually succeeded in solving an entire module with a natural 20 on a Diplomacy check!)
i have heard of,and played so ridiculously named warforged in my time...i once decided to live the meme and play in a homebrew game with a Warforged Pimp,named "A Pimp named Big Unit"...i eaven had my left hand enchanted with the ability turn small and medium objects (and poeple) into gold statues by pimp snacking them.
I'm about to play a new campaign as a warforged monk and I was looking for stuff bout my strong boi Aegis and I found this and I wish to thank you for this!
i love Warforged they are an Enigmatic emposing race...that,and being the closest thing to Golems one can play. they can be alot of fun to play...and i have played a number of them in my kind,including homebrew subraces my group invented based on the material that made up my body and the origins of where i came from...including: Mirage: a "mirror forged" made of enchanted mirrored silver with a mirror shield and a lightning lance,my head was a faceless reflective surface,however glowing eyes could manifest,and would change color based on my mood and expression...i was a Psionic warrior and often employed enhancements on my self like "expand"...in addtion a perminately enchanted my armor and weapons with "blurr",whenever i would move a short disorientating trail would follow...earning my characters nickname the "silver Mirage",so my character started calling himself Mirage. Teshelon an "angel forged" made from peices of both mechanus and infused with the golden light of Mercuria(the second heaven)..creating a powerfull celstial natured warforged...i had a pair of golden aetheral wings that i could somone whenever i chose and my armor was white with gold accents on it,i was a Paladin on a quest of personal perfection..and in a persuit to earn my halo and the title of "El" being added at the ending of my own name,becoming an archangel (unfortunately the game ended before i had a chance to achieve that dream)....i wielded the mighty flaming sword "Requiem"...i had some minor asamar like powers,but i had to earn most of my divvine power later on (not just be leveling up either)...i did have all the same powers of any other warforged though. (except my favored classes were different than a normal warforged). Lobo the Iron wanderer. the greatest warforged i ever made... 1000 years prior there lived a powerfull elvan alchemist and Wizard that was charged with protecting a vast kindom..because of him he kept his kindom safe and prosperous...until a terrible calamity befell the continent and wiped out everyone,including him...but being the accomplished wizard he was he had a falesafe incase anything were to happen to him...when his body was destroyed his soul entered into a lifeles warforge body..he went into a deep sleep,eventuallly waking up in his new form 1000 years later in what was left of ruined palace...though he understated the potency of the magic,and there were "complications" most notibly,all his memories were wiped,even his own name was a mystery to him... this coupling the fact that this was set in a world where warforged did not exist,he was a unique creature...he explored the castle,not knowing who or "what" he even was...for the first week of his new life,he learned simple things like how to read and speak (there was an amusing moment on day 4 when he tried to talk to a suit of armor mounted up against the wall)...through the books he read he learned of alchemy and that it bore connection to the runes that existed on his body...one in Ignian,one in Aquan,one in Terran,one in Auren and one in Primordial...after a week of wandering the palace (and finding a potent mace called "Mordukens star" ) he decided to become an alchemist and search for the secrets what where he came from and what his purpose was...he would go on to take the name "Lobo" and take the first brave steps out into the world...he would go on to tinker with his body,as well as other machines and become an artificer as well...these two professions led him into becoming a trader of magical items and recorces...eventually gaining posessions of special elemental scrolls that summoned Noble Elemental spirits in which he did business with and went into a bound contract with on of each elemental plane....the Air nobel offered his services of the west wind...that would carry rumers and information to my ears,as well as words of danger and warning...the Fire nobel offered me supplies of empowered alchemist fire and other such reagents...the earth noble offered me precious jewls and minerals and the water noble would give me exotic reagents from her domain...these things were traded to me in axchange for my own services of undertaking quests for them and giving them treasures from the material world that were rare in thier planes. i would often creat defistating elemental bombs and tonics that i would fire out of the rist cannon fixated apon my left arm (exposed when taking my gauntlet on that arm off)..my body was fairly articulate and i had a few arms and other limbs i could attach on myself for various perposes...my favorite weapons where my lightning gauntlets with shocking grasp and burst on them...i could even fire them like projectiles and make them return to me....because of my potency in my trades i kept our party very well off in money... and it was all thanks to that first 100 i roled that got me "mordenkainen's star" a powerfull morningstar/mace that when striking something non magical and inorganic (like a weapon or armor) with a critical hit,it would turn disimilate into the natural components used to craft it...for instance,a steel longsword would turn into the ingots used to craft it. woah that was a long reply...sorry
I play a worforged that was a robot built by the USA to fight Communists and after a nuclear explosion somehow ended up in the dnd world instead of dying but he was deactivated for thousands of years slowly decayed but was found and was recently reactivated and was rebuilt to look like a normal warforged its fun because he knows everything about our time and nothing about what's going on in the dnd world
I have a bard war forged in my game who is literally a one man band , he has various instruments built into him and has taken the name juke ( after a juke box)
One of my characters is an Envoy Warforged artificer named Meek. And I just got my homunculus that I named Pico! Thanks for this video, I understand my character even more than I used to.
My Warforged character had no backstory, only a description I sent to the DM. He had essentially damaged his brain in what was most likely combat and was like a child learning things. He had no name because I wanted the other characters to name him. They called him Dent because of the massive indent on the back of his head.
When my character dies i already have the idea for a warforged necromancer druid so if a zombie or skeleton has only one arm then i can give it a vine arm or if its a skeleton put vines as its muscle so it would be able to run not shamble.
My Warforged character is Lawful Good. Very lawful in fact. He's so lawful, that he actually enforces it... (Those who were around in the 80s should get this reference.)
My warforged character is named Em because he walked into a tavern, saw some people (the rest of the party), and asked them for a name. One of their names started with m... so now he is named Em
My warforged is named Spar. He's a training bot, but he lost his master so now he goes everywhere looking for the strongest fighter so he can train with them. He's a Champion Fighter and I love him because he's basically Robot Goku.
One of my old war-forged ideas was basically a robotic dragon named Char. Built as a propaganda tool and sapient flamethrower. Ran a one-dragon bakery after the war ended
I recently played a warforge forge cleric named forge who was dedicated to restoring the factories that were used to build his people so that they could one day protect the world from any threats that may face it
I basically made a paladin dragonborn turned warforged juggernaut named toran that is pretty much a kind space marine with horns who follows Pelor, i suplexed a leviathan with him in the last session of a campaign i had, good times
I enjoy Warforges. I tend to have them be a major assist to Trade Guilds and Merchants; and having some solid strong fighters in Merc Guilds is also helpful.
I was a Fighter/Barbarian with a battle Axe hand named Bloodstone, for being a Reddish stone. He was made by a clan of war forges who live in the mountains. For it was a war of Warforges and Goliathsm
Since we aren't in the Eberron setting, I reflavored my warforged character as a metal suit of armor specifically designed to channel arcane and cosmic energies, used by a cult to summon some primordial being and using the body as a containment for it to enter the material plane. Ritual went awry, all the cultists were massacred during the being's crossing over and merging with the body, somehow their souls got subsumed in the process and melded with the being as it merged. Which ended up creating a completely new consciousness with only one memory, some of the last words a cultist used: "ser[ve]...vessel..." So of course, my character took that as someone addressing him and assumed that was his name. Thus was born, Sir Vessel, a powerful eldritch knight in his day but succumbing to the drawbacks of a physical form, surely brought low by some treacherous ne'er-do-well. Thus this body was forged to channel his arcane prowess while extending his ability to gain further knowledge and skills and supplementing his physical prowess as a warrior, with his mind and skill being transferred to it. Now he must become accustomed to this new body and unlock his forgotten powers, all while striking hard and fast at the evil that plagues the land and to protect the innocent and downtrodden. At least he's surmised all of this about his previous life; I mean, what else could he have been? 😏 He also took the first name Heinrich. Mostly because it sounded right; he feels like a Heinrich. lol (Also no, he's not actually an eldritch knight; not yet at least, kind of a long term goal to roleplay him to there. He's actually a warlock hexblade (blade pact) to tie onto his "extraplanar" heritage, but all of his spells and abilities being him believing them to just be mechanical enhancements channeling his power and attacks all reflavored with anime attack names - Green Flame Blade and Booming Blade are now "Emerald Flame Strike!" and "Concussive Blow!" I love him, he's a lot of fun. lol)
Made a bard I named mine Gir. You either love or hate playing with Gir, but it's never boring. Sang the Doom song through an entire dungeon. Bought and ate the entire stock at a tavern. Stole a pig and carried it from one town to the next. And somehow win a far amount of deception checks after using "I don't knooooooooooow."
One fun thing about Warforged is that their integrated armor technically isn't considered wearing armor, so if you can get armor proficiencies, you can be a super tanky monk.
just so your know the official content does not say that the medium armor for the warforged gives disadvantage on stealth, but it does say that for the heavy armor just thought that was something to point out because that means if you have a +2 to dex and are playing a strength based build you could make the excuse that the medium armor doesn't impose disadvantage on stealth

So, warforged's Envoy sub"race" allows you to be built with an internally mounted tool you are proficient with. Soldier background adds land or sea vehicle proficiency which are listed under tools;
Could you be a walking mech suit?
Assuming it was the tool you were forged with, y'all could have some mini Titanfall BTs
I still think envoy warforged is the most customizable race option- any class can benefit from it.
Because every class likes Constitution, it can pick and choose any two other ability scores, gains essentially a longer trance for long rest, has a poison resistance and immunity to disease, doesn't even need to breathe, eat, or drink, and basically gains a bonus to AC without even needing to wear armor *on top of* skill and tool proficiencies.
In other words, pretty much a better half elf in every way aside from Charisma-based classes.
Not to mention one skill, tool proficiency and language- all by choice. On top of that theres the tool expertise which is lit.

I think I'm gonna make a Warforged Wizard named Pants. Pants is a good boy.
a better name would be something like Tome or Arcane
@@benthomason3307 Nope, Pants
Go warforged
Go arcane archer
Use polished steel armor
Name it Centurian.
I'm a Warframe player on PS4 so the war forged always look cool to me
Also I keep referring to them as warframes
Well they kinda are when you think about it.....
In my opinion, warframes are more fleshy and kinda gross if you think about it
The warforge as a concept is pretty cool to introduce into any settings because they are mini golems I can imagine magocracies such as the red wizards of thay creating them to be an army with absolute loyalty so if ever need to give a villain an unquestioning loyal army make them warforged.
Or forgotten weapons of a lost culture. That one can work in almost any setting.
@@wilhelmseleorningcniht9410 fair.
My first dnd character was actually a warforged, I love playing them, his name was elk and he was a circle of the moon druid
One question I've always had about warforged. Do they rust??
If they dont keep themselves maintained then yes. Kind of like how us fleshies start to stink if we dont bathe.
Also, rust monsters, and oozes are DEADLY for a warforged
if you leave em around ye. But honestly, if your playing in Ebberon why DONT you have the mending cantrip, Or if your playing 5E in general why dont you have Prestidigitation. so it Pretty much doesnt matter as they can be cleaned Fixed, and shined Pretty much on demand.
@@CrazzyJ-iw5rc warforged are per definition magic,so i tought that rust devils and black puddings wouldnt affect them just like they dont affect magic items
I guess your knowledge about warforged lore is...... a bit rusty.
*YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!!*
Oh hello CritCrab. Yes, Warforged do rust but you can easily clean that up.
Warforged Pimp named Big Unit...who dumped most of his money on bling, threads and pimping out his Battlefist with all kinds of enchantments and accessories. He was fresh to death and fly as hell, and you best protect ya kneck when he comes and pulls your card.

I made a Warforged Fighter, a rebuilt veteran of a long ended war trying to find his place in the world. His designation is R3X-67 or Rex
DMing my first campaign this weekend. Watched all your videos to prepare. Thank you so much, dude.
How did it go
I hope you cover Changelings, they're easily my favorite race. There's nothing quite like pretending to be a human for half the campaign then dramatically revealing yourself to be slenderman with a face
I had a player run a Paladin Warforge named Church who went to Catholic School before being a murder robot and during every boss encounter, every time he'd use Smite, he'd shout "TIME TO WITNESS A GODLY ASS BEATINGS"
That's my new favorite type of person.
AAAAND THE CHURCHITY CHURCH
I feel like a few things are missing from the guide, but all in all pretty nice, thank you for summing things up!
The only things of any real note is that they get their own unique magic weapons in the form of literally replacing their arm with a weapon that they can also remove should they want their hand back, and then there is their little buddy they can implant into themselves to give them a little extra spunk and if I recall some extra skills.
I made an Envoy Warforged Wizard named Whiskey. He has built in brewer’s supplies that let him make and dispense drinks from his own body. After wandering the wilderness and experimenting with all natural (occasionally poisonous) ingredients, his dream is to become the world’s best bartender.
I love warforged. I practically begged my gm to add them to his homebrew world.
idk if anyone wants some npcs to use in their EBN campaign, but you can use my pc if you like.
My warforged is called "bishop" and his "twin brother" who he was made to mirror is called "rook". Rook and I are very similar, but Rook made his own path among nobles as a bodyguard while I became an adventurer to "never stop fighting for the forces of good". Our alignments are lawful good and Neutral good. personality wise, we are very different, despite obvious visual similarities. I intend to switch to another warforged if bishop dies, but not Rook. In our setting, a megacity made the warforged as a "noble guard" that protected the royal family and other lesser nobles (but were also given as gifts) during times of strife. Now that the city is safe again, we have fallen from grace since our novelty has worn off (warforged are expensive to produce and even more costly to buy, and didn't like being owned after the huge initial investment). My group, "The Iron Brigade" served a noble family that was caught stealing funds from the city, and we've been surviving in the slums ever since.
The "Iron Brigade" are as follows:
Bishop and Rook - good bois
Ivy - an angry wizard with a "screw loose" that taught Bishop How 2 majik (CG)
Sixteen - a sneaky warforged that only knows killing. Is an apathetic assassin for hire that only wants to get out of poverty, and cares little for mortal folk (TN/N Impure)
Crunch - crunch likes to punch. (L Stupid)
Warforged celestial warlock, hello zenyatta
Or just make him an actual monk...
@@pandagamer-hg5be but then he wouldn't have any of his kit. Zenyatta levitates, throws energy balls, and heals other people. Monks don't do any of that.

@@pandagamer-hg5be gives him a single shot projectile, still doesn't levitate or heal others. Furthermore, the multiple force shots of a reskinned eldritch blast is more akin to zen's orbs then a single shot of radiant damage
And I was just wondering how these worked and where they came from. Thanks lots, Davvy.
I have a warforged that loves to mess with people by just staring at them from a distance. Just no blinking. Watching the person feel threatened and uncomfortable.

I really like the idea of a warforged monk. As they wander trying to find purpose, they find their way to a remote monastery where they learn to meditate and slowly expand their consciousness, possibly even creating a villain that has connected his consciousness to hundreds of other warforged, creating a massive hive mind army.
I love warforged so much, even if they are overpowered as all hell especially at low levels for that free plate armour haha.
It's really not that hard to get plate early on to be honest. Not to mention warforged actually have to integrate the armor to have it, so you don't have to start with plate.
@@RolandTheJabberwocky What? Thats what i'm saying, warforged don't need plate armour so they have an advantage at the earlier levels than the characters who have to buy it. Plus it costs 1.5k, so it is pretty hard to get at level 1-3 at least.
I have so far seen two Warforged PCs in action, in separate games. Both are the obvious "21 AC at Level 1" type Juggernaut builds and are unbelievably good tanks. One was a fighter named Wall ("I am Wall! Wall will protect!"), with the cavalier subclass to defend everyone around him better. The other PC was a paladin... who was 'raised' by a family of halflings... named, if I remember correctly, Robin Smallburrow... who was sent out questing mostly so he would stop breaking everything he touched and getting stuck in the burrows. Both were pretty amusing characters, Wall for how his player played up his naivete about everything out of combat; and Robin for being a genuinely well-meaning oaf who kept trying to talk down monsters (...and actually succeeded in solving an entire module with a natural 20 on a Diplomacy check!)
I like the implication that some warforged liked the sound "AAAAAAAHHHHHH" so much that he decided he wanted it to be his name.
i have heard of,and played so ridiculously named warforged in my time...i once decided to live the meme and play in a homebrew game with a Warforged Pimp,named "A Pimp named Big Unit"...i eaven had my left hand enchanted with the ability turn small and medium objects (and poeple) into gold statues by pimp snacking them.
Warforged don't need to roll for constitution when they get dirty
I once played a Skirmisher Ranger named Sticks
I'm about to play a new campaign as a warforged monk and I was looking for stuff bout my strong boi Aegis and I found this and I wish to thank you for this!
i love Warforged they are an Enigmatic emposing race...that,and being the closest thing to Golems one can play.
they can be alot of fun to play...and i have played a number of them in my kind,including homebrew subraces my group invented based on the material that made up my body and the origins of where i came from...including:
Mirage:
a "mirror forged" made of enchanted mirrored silver with a mirror shield and a lightning lance,my head was a faceless reflective surface,however glowing eyes could manifest,and would change color based on my mood and expression...i was a Psionic warrior and often employed enhancements on my self like "expand"...in addtion a perminately enchanted my armor and weapons with "blurr",whenever i would move a short disorientating trail would follow...earning my characters nickname the "silver Mirage",so my character started calling himself Mirage.
Teshelon
an "angel forged" made from peices of both mechanus and infused with the golden light of Mercuria(the second heaven)..creating a powerfull
celstial natured warforged...i had a pair of golden aetheral wings that i could somone whenever i chose and my armor was white with gold accents on it,i was a Paladin on a quest of personal perfection..and in a persuit to earn my halo and the title of "El" being added at the ending of my own name,becoming an archangel (unfortunately the game ended before i had a chance to achieve that dream)....i wielded the mighty flaming sword "Requiem"...i had some minor asamar like powers,but i had to earn most of my divvine power later on (not just be leveling up either)...i did have all the same powers of any other warforged though. (except my favored classes were different than a normal warforged).
Lobo the Iron wanderer.
the greatest warforged i ever made...
1000 years prior there lived a powerfull elvan alchemist and Wizard that was charged with protecting a vast kindom..because of him he kept his kindom safe and prosperous...until a terrible calamity befell the continent and wiped out everyone,including him...but being the accomplished wizard he was he had a falesafe incase anything were to happen to him...when his body was destroyed his soul entered into a lifeles warforge body..he went into a deep sleep,eventuallly waking up in his new form 1000 years later in what was left of ruined palace...though he understated the potency of the magic,and there were "complications" most notibly,all his memories were wiped,even his own name was a mystery to him...
this coupling the fact that this was set in a world where warforged did not exist,he was a unique creature...he explored the castle,not knowing who or "what" he even was...for the first week of his new life,he learned simple things like how to read and speak (there was an amusing moment on day 4 when he tried to talk to a suit of armor mounted up against the wall)...through the books he read he learned of alchemy and that it bore connection to the runes that existed on his body...one in Ignian,one in Aquan,one in Terran,one in Auren and one in Primordial...after a week of wandering the palace (and finding a potent mace called "Mordukens star" ) he decided to become an alchemist and search for the secrets what where he came from and what his purpose was...he would go on to take the name "Lobo" and take the first brave steps out into the world...he would go on to tinker with his body,as well as other machines and become an artificer as well...these two professions led him into becoming a trader of magical items and recorces...eventually gaining posessions of special elemental scrolls that summoned Noble Elemental spirits in which he did business with and went into a bound contract with on of each elemental plane....the Air nobel offered his services of the west wind...that would carry rumers and information to my ears,as well as words of danger and warning...the Fire nobel offered me supplies of empowered alchemist fire and other such reagents...the earth noble offered me precious jewls and minerals and the water noble would give me exotic reagents from her domain...these things were traded to me in axchange for my own services of undertaking quests for them and giving them treasures from the material world that were rare in thier planes.
i would often creat defistating elemental bombs and tonics that i would fire out of the rist cannon fixated apon my left arm (exposed when taking my gauntlet on that arm off)..my body was fairly articulate and i had a few arms and other limbs i could attach on myself for various perposes...my favorite weapons where my lightning gauntlets with shocking grasp and burst on them...i could even fire them like projectiles and make them return to me....because of my potency in my trades i kept our party very well off in money...
and it was all thanks to that first 100 i roled that got me "mordenkainen's star" a powerfull morningstar/mace that when striking something non magical and inorganic (like a weapon or armor) with a critical hit,it would turn disimilate into the natural components used to craft it...for instance,a steel longsword would turn into the ingots used to craft it.
woah that was a long reply...sorry
I play a worforged that was a robot built by the USA to fight Communists and after a nuclear explosion somehow ended up in the dnd world instead of dying but he was deactivated for thousands of years slowly decayed but was found and was recently reactivated and was rebuilt to look like a normal warforged its fun because he knows everything about our time and nothing about what's going on in the dnd world
I have a bard war forged in my game who is literally a one man band , he has various instruments built into him and has taken the name juke ( after a juke box)
One of my characters is an Envoy Warforged artificer named Meek. And I just got my homunculus that I named Pico! Thanks for this video, I understand my character even more than I used to.
My Warforged character had no backstory, only a description I sent to the DM. He had essentially damaged his brain in what was most likely combat and was like a child learning things. He had no name because I wanted the other characters to name him. They called him Dent because of the massive indent on the back of his head.
Callum Jukes Dude, I think you just made a miniature version of the Iron Giant
Suuupeermaan
@@DycuswasHere Dent is an oath of redemption paladin. I see him as the child of the Iron Giant and Chappie
When my character dies i already have the idea for a warforged necromancer druid so if a zombie or skeleton has only one arm then i can give it a vine arm or if its a skeleton put vines as its muscle so it would be able to run not shamble.
My Warforged character is Lawful Good. Very lawful in fact. He's so lawful, that he actually enforces it...
(Those who were around in the 80s should get this reference.)
My warforged character is named Em because he walked into a tavern, saw some people (the rest of the party), and asked them for a name. One of their names started with m... so now he is named Em

My warforged is named Spar. He's a training bot, but he lost his master so now he goes everywhere looking for the strongest fighter so he can train with them. He's a Champion Fighter and I love him because he's basically Robot Goku.
Sun Soul Monk is more Goku
Warforged are my favorite race

One of my old war-forged ideas was basically a robotic dragon named Char. Built as a propaganda tool and sapient flamethrower. Ran a one-dragon bakery after the war ended
I recently played a warforge forge cleric named forge who was dedicated to restoring the factories that were used to build his people so that they could one day protect the world from any threats that may face it
I basically made a paladin dragonborn turned warforged juggernaut named toran that is pretty much a kind space marine with horns who follows Pelor, i suplexed a leviathan with him in the last session of a campaign i had, good times
My mate is playing a Druid warforge were every time he wild shapes he turns into a transformer like creation
I enjoy Warforges. I tend to have them be a major assist to Trade Guilds and Merchants; and having some solid strong fighters in Merc Guilds is also helpful.
I feel you man... My knob doesn't work like it used to either
Oh Eberron series. I can't wait for Changlings :)
I was a Fighter/Barbarian with a battle Axe hand named Bloodstone, for being a Reddish stone. He was made by a clan of war forges who live in the mountains. For it was a war of Warforges and Goliathsm
I'm a DM and had a new comer with a Warforged character who's life purpose is now dedicated to coconuts.

Since we aren't in the Eberron setting, I reflavored my warforged character as a metal suit of armor specifically designed to channel arcane and cosmic energies, used by a cult to summon some primordial being and using the body as a containment for it to enter the material plane.
Ritual went awry, all the cultists were massacred during the being's crossing over and merging with the body, somehow their souls got subsumed in the process and melded with the being as it merged. Which ended up creating a completely new consciousness with only one memory, some of the last words a cultist used: "ser[ve]...vessel..."
So of course, my character took that as someone addressing him and assumed that was his name. Thus was born, Sir Vessel, a powerful eldritch knight in his day but succumbing to the drawbacks of a physical form, surely brought low by some treacherous ne'er-do-well. Thus this body was forged to channel his arcane prowess while extending his ability to gain further knowledge and skills and supplementing his physical prowess as a warrior, with his mind and skill being transferred to it. Now he must become accustomed to this new body and unlock his forgotten powers, all while striking hard and fast at the evil that plagues the land and to protect the innocent and downtrodden. At least he's surmised all of this about his previous life; I mean, what else could he have been? 😏
He also took the first name Heinrich. Mostly because it sounded right; he feels like a Heinrich. lol
(Also no, he's not actually an eldritch knight; not yet at least, kind of a long term goal to roleplay him to there. He's actually a warlock hexblade (blade pact) to tie onto his "extraplanar" heritage, but all of his spells and abilities being him believing them to just be mechanical enhancements channeling his power and attacks all reflavored with anime attack names - Green Flame Blade and Booming Blade are now "Emerald Flame Strike!" and "Concussive Blow!" I love him, he's a lot of fun. lol)
Made a bard I named mine Gir. You either love or hate playing with Gir, but it's never boring. Sang the Doom song through an entire dungeon. Bought and ate the entire stock at a tavern. Stole a pig and carried it from one town to the next. And somehow win a far amount of deception checks after using "I don't knooooooooooow."
You had me at Robo-Dong XD

Some Warforged would also sometimes be given single sylible names by there fellow solders, like Scout, Tanker, Bruno, that sort of thing
Can you do a vieio on genasi at some point? I'd love to see your thoughts on the different subraces.
One fun thing about Warforged is that their integrated armor technically isn't considered wearing armor, so if you can get armor proficiencies, you can be a super tanky monk.
just so your know the official content does not say that the medium armor for the warforged gives disadvantage on stealth, but it does say that for the heavy armor just thought that was something to point out because that means if you have a +2 to dex and are playing a strength based build you could make the excuse that the medium armor doesn't impose disadvantage on stealth
