so, long story short- i had played a campagin taking place in the last war, in Cyre in fact, some years ago, and i'm thinking about doing something similar again, only with a new group.
i know there is a book in 3.5 about the last war, but i don't have it and can't get it, if the answer is there just let me know. also, this is aimed at both 4E and 3.5E crowd:
how much have warforged cost in the last war? do you have any reasonable estimate? this is imporetnet since PCs get rich fairly fast, and they might want added bodyguards, which i'd love to allow in the spirit of the "warforged is property/ slave market of war" mentality the 5 nations had then. i've come up with several things that should influence the price, but i can't come up with the exact price. my thoughts are as follows:
i imagine that normal warforged, war1 with standard plating (3.5E)/ level 1 regular/ minion (4E) were quite cheap. i mean- they were whole divisions of these folks! but how would they compare to fleshies? or to the equipment of fleshies?
3.5: i imagine that better plating costs much more (especially since it's not salvable). i'd imagine that only warforged who show great potential (can take PC levels) will be outfitted by better plating.
4E: a bit simpler-warforged can now wear and remove armor, so the defence is not part of the price. how does that affects things?
i imagine warforged will mostly be sold as units, small or large, instead of individuals. after all- warforged train asa unit. what sort of unit sizes do you think we're talking about? i think most will be like normal fleshy troops, but might there be other considerations i'm not thinking of?
both editions: how much would a titan cost? (not sure if it's strogner or weaker in which addition, don't have the books with me) 3.5- a charger? a scout?
hhhmmm, i may have more questions, but this is as far as i got. feel free to add your own inqueries.
