Commissioned by one of my PCs, playing a Warforged Monk/Artificer and asking for what he thought of as a "Warforged Prophet", who pursues purity of his form in a sort of Utopian Perfect Race ideology. (Not Lord of Blades "Robo-Nationalism" per se, more of an enlightened "Robotopia")

Skills: 4 + Int Modifier per level. Class Skills: All

Infusions per Day At the indicated levels, the Prophet of the Maker recieves new Infusions per day, as if he had also taken a level in his pre-existing Infusion using class. He does not gain any other benefits, such as a Craft Reserve or Craft Feats.

Body of Harmony (Ex): A Prophet of the Maker's work in both the Monastery and the Workshop combine to give him great understanding of his own body, and how to control it. When he uses an infusion on himself, he gains a number of temporary hit points equal to the infusion's level for the duration of the infusion.

Body of Conflict: Prophets of the Maker know the grim truth of the world, and their need for martial prowess to carry out the Maker's great vision. Your Monk and Prophet of the Maker levels stack to determine the number of extra attacks and attack penalty of your Flurry of Blows ability.

Lesser Guided Evolution: Your understanding of your physical form allows you to unlock your hidden potential of your body. At Level 2, Prophets of the Maker choose one of the following abilities:
Body of Purity (Ex): The amount of temporary hit points granted by your Body of Harmony class feature increases by 1 per infusion level. Additionally, each time you cast an infusion on yourself, you may heal one point of ability damage.
Hand of the Maker's Will: Your natural attacks and your slam attack are treated as Magic and Lawful while affected by one of your infusions. If you already have either the Ki Strike (Magic) or Ki Strike (Lawful) class feature your attacks are also treated as Byeshk for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Aegis of the Fated: The natural protections of your body are greatly enhanced. While affected by an infusion, the armor bonus granted by your Warforged plating is increased by 1 per 3 Class Levels. Also, your fortification against sneak attacks and critical hits increases by 25%.

Inspiring Perfection: A Prophet of the Maker's physical perfection gathers others to him, at 3rd level, and again at 6th and 9th level, his Leadership score increases by 1, for the purpose of attracting followers.

Augmented Self: A Prophet of the Maker seeks perfection in both mind and body. At 4th level, and again at 8th level, you may increase any ability score you possess by 1.

Craft Magic Arms and Armor: At 5th level, Prophets of the Maker gain Craft Magic Arms and Armor as a bonus feat.

Greater Guided Evolution: The Prophet’s understanding of the intrinsic fusions behind Living Constructs grant him access to break the limitations of his form. At 7th level, a Prophet of the Maker can choose one of the following abilities to gain as a class feature.
Body of Infinity (Ex): The amount of damage healed by the Prophet of the Maker’s Body of Harmony increases by 1 per infusion level, this stacks with the increase granted by Body of Purity. Additionally, he gains immunity to Ability Damage and Drain for the duration of the infusion.
Fluid Form: The Prophet of the Maker may embed and detach Warforged Components to and from himself as free actions. Furthermore, any infusion he uses on a Warforged Component is automatically Extended.
Versatility of Form: You gain the Powerful Build and Slight Build special abilities.

Perfection of the Destined: A Prophet of the Maker of 10th is what the Maker always intended with his grand vision of the Warforged: a perfected race fusing man and machine. He can choose one Lesser Guided Evolution ability and one Greater Guided Evolution ability he has not already chosen and gain them as class features.

Fluff when I don't have a paper due in 9 hours...

Great concept. No idea if it is balanced. Looks okay from here.
