12-29-04, 04:29 AM Warforged are not weapons. Nobody can apply weapon familiarity to them.

Warforged have a natural weapon - a slam attack - with which they are automatically proficient. In any case, slam is not an exotic weapon.

There are no warforge-racially-named, exotic weapons to which the Improved Weapon Familiarity feat might apply.

12-29-04, 10:42 PM One of use I thing is counfuse because what you are talking about is not even close to what I am I thought weapon familiary was a feat that you take that allows a chosen item to grow more powerful as the character gains levels. I am wonder if Warforge people came take because they can enhance there body as if it were armor can they not?

Then, yes, a warforged could make his slam attack a item familiar. It can be enchanted just like any other weapon.

"Weapon familiarity" is a specific ability for a race to treat certain exotic weaposn as martial, or martial weapons as simple.

"Item Familiar" is an Optional feat. I am not familair with a warforged's slam attack, but I would rule it this way: If a warforged could have his slam attack enchanted as a manufactured weapon woudl be by a wizard, then yes Item Familiar would apply. Otherwise, no.
