Winning Races: Warforged

This is a very small article that adds an alchemical theme to warforged in the form of a couple feats and four attachable magic items. Its got some interesting-if-brief exposition along with a few backgrounds to provide a foundation as to why you’ve got a bunch of vials and shit sticking out of your body.

Mostly, this article is for players that like warforged and alchemical items, which is kind of like another way of saying warforged artificers. The feats either grant you temp hp when you use an alchemy item, or give you a feat bonus to damage with a specific type of energy attack.

The components let you store alchemy items, grant resistance depending on a stored alchemy item, auto-fire it when you use second wind, gain an attack bonus when using alchemy items. Its certainly a focused article, but I find that alchemy items are pretty damned spendy and I’m not sure that its worth the effort in the long run.

Character Concepts: Warforged Sorcerer

Something I thought of while showering, a warforged cosmic sorcerer that has some kind of clock built into its chest which could display the cosmic phases. I imagine it more delicate than its kin (hence the lower Con), and very intricately crafted. A wizard or sage might have built it to assist it on matters of planar cosmology, making it a mobile orrery of the planes (ECS, pg 271).

Character Concepts: Warforged Druid

Could be a warforged prototype, or perhaps a heavily damaged warforged left inert too long in the Eldeen Reaches before being repaired or just spontaneously reactivating. Commissioned by a druid or maybe the Gatekeepers as a more permanent guardian? Oh! A warforged that prefers to be alone in the wilderness. Lots of ways for this to work.
