Creating a Warforged?

May 27, 2010 7:21:34 I have a question about creating a Warforged using the character generator.

In 3.5 the 'forged could choose a feat which allowed him to take special armour for himself. I dont see anything like that in 4th edition.

Infact, a basic warforged just has the base AC? Surely this isn't right.

Any ideas from anyone, or am I just missing something?

Thanks

May 27, 2010 7:29:47 Warforged now wear armor like any other race or class. They are assumed to be built with a basic body structure, which might still be of metal, wood, etc, but then require "plating" or a softer cover.

I still pretend that the armor mine wear is not an actual suit they pick up from a store, but instead specially crafted attachable plates. For those in cloth, leather, chain, etc... these realy are just outfits that anyone can buy. With a humanoid body, they fit them as well as anyone else.

I have noticed you can equip armour as normal but that seems to me to be a cop-out by Wizards.

If that truly is the only way to "equip" a 'forged then thats a backwards step from 3.5 !!
