I'm currently building a warforged that is focusing on being a defender. I was thinking of Getting flaws and traits to Flush out the PC some more. He is of LN Alignment and is a follower of Helm. Forgotten Realm God (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Helm). So my char will Defend the weak and stand for what he belives to be right. He currently has 1 Flaw Code of arms. (http://eberronunlimited.wikidot.com/flaw:code-of-arms) i.e wont fight the weaponless. Im wondering if anyone had a good idea for a second flaw and traits. He is to be the Groups "tank" and "Face" since a dragon born trying to suduce everyone (her char is oka ish) Only gets us so far.

Shaky?

Traitwise probably honest

The problem of the Code of arms flaw though is that depending on your DM Monks could count as weaponless even though thye are stated to count as armed. Then there are people who only use ranged weapons or are casters focused on spells and not weapons which screws you over. Also I second the suggestion on Shaky, really good flaw for tanks.

May I suggest Honorable Challenge instead of code of arms?

Yeah I think honorabl will be far better just in case of range/magic and Shaky as I will be literally a Up front guy (still carry a bow just in case naturally)

I did go with Honest due to the fact we do have a Rogue who should be willing to go "pst There lieing" lol But to find the final Trait and then Time to do my feats for my Defensive Face. lol

Im thinking Cautious so i have more Defensive facotr while blocking for my allys.

Have a look at this Flaw-List (http://eberronunlimited.wikidot.com/flaws).

I second: "Honorable Challenge" -4 on attack rolls against any creature that has not explicitly challenged you or made an attack against you.

Currently playing a very similar character who has Bravado. He steps aside for no man.

That Might work for my guy. Focusing on fighting defensivly tho so losing ac from any soruce could also hurt tho. : (

Then don't. Different sorts different flaws.

As for your second trait: Stout perhaps?
