My Favorite Warforged

Check out my Warforged on Unbalanced Encounters: Rally. unbalancedencounters.com/

I’m working on a funny one. A scarecrow brought to life by lightning who’s now part of a circle of fire druids.

I played a warforged battlesmith whose singular goal was to unlock the secrets of his own construction so that he could build his own child and be a dad. All his magic in the early game was flavoured around tinkering with his own magical body parts, and then later it turned into building and improving prototypes. He had a homunculus called Gizmo and a series of increasingly bipedal steel defenders called Mark I, Mark II, etc. Basically each time the steel defender went down in combat he built a different design and changed the name. Eventually I switched out the homunculus invocation for headband of intellect and put it on the steel defender, effectively combining the body of Mark VI with the mind of Gizmo, finally making his son, Mark Gizmo.

I had a draconic ancestry warforged sorcerer planned for a game that never happened. The explanation for the draconic powers was that dragon bones and scales were used in its construction

I played part of an all-Warforged party in the Eberron setting. Being inhuman was a LOT of fun, we had an absurd sense of humor. Oh, and as a party having no need to eat, sleep, or breathe made many "challenges" a moot point. At first it drove our DM crazy, but he changed his viewpoint and adapted. Meatbags don't grind and squeak after sandstorms the way we did.

The Warforged I played (a replacement character after previous one died) introduced himself while using a disguise self spell to look human under his mask. He then attempted to drink a beer which just want all down his front as he didn't have a real mouth. He then cleared this up with Prestidigitation like nothing had happened. He was called Sven and was an arcane trickster. The group had a good laugh about it and accepted him quickly.

I played a warforged barbarian that went by 2 names, Bastion and Bulwark, bastion (not raging) was kind and calm, but bulwark (raging) was silent and sadistic only caring about his next kill. I did this to explain his reaction to the last war, bastion is the person after the war, but bulwark was the monstrous construct that took so many lives.

Came up with a Sasori inspired concept once. He was born human, and trained as an artificer when he was young, but as he grew older it became apparent he was incredibly ill and was progressively getting weaker and weaker. So he made himself both a steel defender he named Hanzo and a new mechanical body that looked just like his human one, proxy skin and all. He transitioned his soul from his dying human body to his new, stronger warforged body and no he has spell firing guns in his arms and swords hidden in his legs. Also he's not sure if he still needs to breathe or eat, he hasn't pooped but he doesn't feel heavier, bur he's also to nervous to try going without food or diving into the ocean without some kind of lifeline

My favorite Warforged is Koronir, who had a hive full of living bees crammed into his chest cavity by an insane tiefling named Belenth Aes'tir. As such, he became known as Beeforged.

The first one can be a good example of how to play an evil character without pulling a "it's what my character would do" and being an asshole to your party. Your party members are tools and good tools are hard to come by, so you want to keep them happy and on your side, which sometimes means making compromises like not burning down an orphanage. You have to be willing to bend a bit or you'll break and get killed by your own tools, so make compromises. You can in character be unhappy about it, but if you want to keep your tools with you, you need to work with them, not make them work for you

Love Warforged and the story they present, regardless of setting. In my Tuesday game I'm playing a Warforged character who looks a bit too human. However, the Warforged body serves as a champion to the warlock patron which the soul made a pact with. It's a really interesting dynamic that's helped to explore my own intrusive thoughts and other mental issues.

Dude, Casanova Frankenstein looks dope as heck!

One of my favorite NPCs I made was a war forged crime boss. The setting i’d made had warforged as weapons whos creation process was lost to time, but he ran a syndicate of warforged of all shapes and types. The campaign fell through, but I planned for him to eventually upgrade his body with more appendages and flight capabilities.

I made a clockwork Warforged as some kind of automaton, he got acquired by a clockmaker in a city without nature, the clockmaker also built small clockwork animals and as the man died, the warforged rebuilt himself in the manner his master would have done him, but he looks like a tree to complete the nature thing. He also built himself some company, a living turtle like well creature, like a walking fountain. His name is ACE and the clockwork critters find refuge in this tree like robot. ACE stands for Artificially Created Environment with the companion (he's a battlesmith) called CWF clockwork fountain

I played a warforged paladin one time and I based him on saint 14 from destiny it was very fun and I think it’s my favorite race to play since then

How would you make Terry Pratchett‘s Discworld character Grandma Weatherwax in D&D?

A lot of people didnt really allow them because they were an Ebberon thing. But lately it seems the autognome sort of greased the wheels, and I might try to play one at some point.

I created a Warforged Tempest Cleric who was created by a Gnome Artificer as a project to aid a Citywatch Organization, with him being the first proper Warforged in the setting. At first, he was rather mechanical in nature, with him following his programming to protect and serve, though eventually he learned, becoming the party's moral compass...Along with this, his God was the one who gave him life, providing the power that keeps him running along with providing his magic, which was why he kept looking for ways to spread the word of the God of Elements and Weather. Due to him being one of the original Party Members who managed to survive (we had a tendency to lose a lot of Characters early on as some players made decisions that directly lead to it...) he often insures the other surviving party member, a Half-Elf Wizard is safe, worrying greatly about her after watching multiple companions perish.

Ive said it before and i will say it again Gaurd is my favorite

I’m playing a warforged named Tub right now and he’s one of my favorite characters. Basically just an animated furnace, he’s a forge domain cleric that always has a warm flame burning inside him. He protects children and gives the warmest hugs.
