Robot Warrior ideas

[JW86]

Hey,

So looking at the Warforged race, and the Mineral Warrior template, and feeling a bit creative.

What kind of Hard-as-nails Robot Warrior build ideas can people think of?

I was thinking perhaps a Warlock with Eldritch Glaive - various useful powers and a huge freakin' laser sword.

Maybe a Psychic Warrior with Expansion, a Deep Crystal Fullblade and charging feats?

Perhaps a Crusader, for super-"tank"iness?

Any cool ideas, anybody?

I think a glaive is more like a polearm than a sword.

I think a glaive is more like a polearm than a sword.

If the invocation only said that, it would eliminate an astounding amount of confusion.

Crusader all the way. First they have to get past your AC, then past your DR, then past your general big bag o' HP, and then there's still a ton of maneuvers. Get your DM drunk enough to get him to let you take Human Heritage and Troll-Blooded and watch the ensuing chaos.

You said creative, so not quite sure if this is actually a good idea, but I think it sounds cool. Starting a a barbarian, maybe for the first 1-3 levels, then go to the crusader, keeping the chaotic good. If playing by this, Tymora would seem like a good choice, being bold & willing to take chances. Stepping out of just being a hunk of wood & stone, & actually living. Also, as a warforged, take all the bonuses you can get, like embedded weapons. For the weapons cost plus 600 gp, get a flail or longsword attached to your body. It is "sheathed" when not in use, so you still have use of both hands. You gain + to sleight of hand checks when "unsheathing", & you can't be disarmed unless you are 0 hp or lower. I would choose flail because of the trip & disarm, but your choice. Enchanting your ownself as armor is pretty cool too. I'm just trying to imagine a warforged with Ghost Touched. But now you've really got me. I now wanna play a barbarian/crusader warforged. :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:Hope this helps.

Ha yeah thanks guys.

Crusader would be beefy as..

But also, I'm thinking Barbarian for the obvious Rage and possible Pounce...

What fun things could you do with a Mineral Warrior Warforged Psywar? Expansion would be a given?

Maybe Barbarian2/Psywar2/Crusader X?

Oh oh oh but what about Warlock... Invisible, Flying, shooting lasers.. perhaps using Eldritch Claws with some of the Psywar claw powers??

Oh the options amuse me. :)

If the invocation only said that, it would eliminate an astounding amount of confusion.It actually does:
Your eldritch blast takes on physical substance, appearing similar to a glaive. As a full-round action, you can make a single melee touch attack as it wielding a reach weapon. If you hit, your target is affected as if struck by your eldritch blast (including any eldritch essence applied to the blast).

A glaive has reach. You can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can’t use it against an adjacent foe. And then there is the image of a glaive on p. 115 of the PHB.

Take Dragon Shaman and breathe fire, cold, electricity, etc. every round. It has the added benefit of being Con-SAD, and if you only pick long duration buff invocations then there's no drawback to using heavy armor/Adamantine Body and a (nonproficient) tower shield.

Robotic, fire-breathing T-Rex?

Doesn't have to be a T-Rex, nor does it need fire. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_Beast_Wars) Though they do help.
