This is just here to give you a laugh. If you thought it was funny, say so. If you didn't, you can say so too. But please don't criticize. I'm just trying to put a smile on your face.

As we all know, the Lord of Blades has several zealous warforged followers who name themselves after different types of blades. Well, the Lord of Blades has many followers and there's only so many names of blades before all the good ones are taken.

Some Warforged just aren't as fortunate as the other ones. So presented here for your perusal is

The Ten Agents of the Lord of Blades You're Least Likely To Encounter In A Dark Alleyway in Sharn

10. Boxcutter

9. Toenail Clipper

8. Whittler

7. Letter Opener

6. Maul (Some Warforged aren't gifted with as much intelligence as others)

5. Snipper

4. Butterknife

3. Tongue Scraper

2. Hoe

And the agent of the Lord of Blades that you're least likely of all to encounter in a dark alleyway in Sharn.....

Sorry. This wasn't intended as a Star Wars joke. A maul is a large wooden hammer. In D&D, a bludgeoning weapon. Hence Maul not being intelligent. He named himself after the wrong type of weapon. Double-bladed sword obscures the joke.

I'm glad people have been enjoying this ilst. i came up with it last night with a little assistance from my friend James. We were throwing out quite a few and some didn't make the list. He suggested Xacto which I almost included until I came up with Hoe.
And one that I liked that he didn't was Safety Scissors.

As in "You shouldn't hang out with that warforged. You know what they say: 'Never run with Scissors!'"?

Hmm. Spatula, eh?

Spatula
Female personality Warforged FTR 2/ROG 1
{snip unnecessary statblock stuff}
Feats: Exotic Weapon Proficiency b (Cyran Battle Spatula), Improved Trip, Weapon Focus b (Cyran Battle Spatula), Arterial Strike
Possessions: +1 Cyran Battle Spatula

Cyran Battle Spatula
Two Handed Exotic Weapon
Small 1d10 (x2) Bludgeoning or Slashing
Medium 2d8 (x2) Bludgeoning or Slashing

A Cyran Battle Spatula can be used to make a trip attack. (See trip attack description under scythe, etc in PHB) However, unlike those weapons, the Spatula is shoved under the opponent and used to flip them over instead of hooking legs.

31. Whisk (Whisk was created during the signing of the treaty of thronehold before it was agreed that the creation forges would be shut down, instead of having hands, they just gave him whisks so he could function in a large bakery, completely disgusted by what the humans did to him, he swears that he will whip the entire human race into submission)

Its a perfectly fine name for a WF. Since they get named after nicknames or for what they do, being named after a weapon or tactic seems logical to me.

Sorry. Its been a long, rant-filled day.

People still seem to be missing the point. The joke had to do with the Lord of Blades. Not warforged in general. The warforged who follow the teachings of the lord of blades name themselves after blades. See. Lord of blades. Blades. Lord of blades. Blades. It makes sense. And it's mentioned in one of the eberron adventures. It's really easy. Warforged who follow the lord of blades name themself after blades. Say it with me. Warforged who follow the lord of blades name themself after blades.

Okay. Now that we have that down. There's nothing wrong wth a warforged who names himself maul. That's fine. But if that warforged followed the lord of blades and named himself maul it would be funny because....a maul isn't a blade. See? It's a giant bludgeoning weapon. Not a blade. So for a name for a follower of the lord of blades it would make him kind of....stupid.

Let me know if I need to explain this in more detail.

19. Greatsword (overcompensating for something, aren't we?)


Technically he is JUST compensating for something he doesn't have. Something we enjoy reminding our warforged rogue everytime the hot artificer heals him.

Who's the metal private eye
Whose battery won't ever die?
HAFT!
Ya Damn Right!

Who is the 'forged that would risk his neck
For his brother 'forged?
HAFT!
Can you dig it?

Who's the construct that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
HAFT!
Right On!

They say this cat Haft is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Haft.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

He's a complicated 'forged
But no one understands him but his...artificer.
( :confused: wait...that's not right!)
BLADE HAFT!

(For those not in the know, a haft is a blade handle)

This isn't so much a LoB Follower, but this was the best place I could find to post this. Lyrics Copyright blah blah blah....

Actually, I guess that the maul being referred to is a splitting maul. It is essentially a specialized axe. A splitting maul has a much heavier and broader head than an ordinary axe. It is not designed for chopping down trees; repeatedly swinging such a heavy axe sideways would exhaust even the strongest man in just a few swings. Instead it is used to split logs from end to end, using the weight of the head to drive through the logs. I know from personal experience that a splitting maul is much more effective at this task than an ordinary axe.

Or, maybe the original poster did mean it as a hammer.

Spark Plug.

A relativly small huntchbacked warforged that doesn't really further things along for the Lord of Blades. He's mostly there for comic relief. And to cheer on his leader, Optimus Prime, I mean Lord of Blades.
