How to take advantage as a Warforged Fighter (Samurai)

[HermanTheWize]

Title

How do you best take advantage of being a Warforged as a Fighter?

[Rukelnikov]

Well, I'm not sure I get your question but, take into account as a warforged you have some of the best AC in the game, so I'd say get Defensive Style, go heavy plating, rigth there you got AC 19 at lvl 1, if you pick up a shield you have AC 21 at lvl 1, which is pretty insane.

Other than that, go juggernaut for non-finesse weilding (i.e. PAM, GWM), or skirmisher for anything else and shennanigans (darkwood core allows you to have solid AC and still count as unarmored)

Being an awesome robo-samurai of course!

[Unoriginal]

Do you mean, get advantages on your attacks?

More or less wondring is there something you couldn't normally do without being warfroged, or something that is much better because of it.

I was thinking possible envoy, that is GWM, that has 16 str and 14 dex.

Then I could go archery fighting style and use a longbow for my back up for ranged (or I could just throw javelins).

We don't have a rogue so I was thinking about the integrated tool would be theives tools and would have expertise.

This would also allow me to go from medium to heavy depending on if I need to sneak.

The main advantage I see with warforged is Berseker since you are immune to exhaustion.

You are set then!

What are you talking about your a warforge pick up a crowbar and pray that chest or door wide open.

You are only immune to exhaustion from normal things like forced marches and things, not abilities from classes.

One thing I did was grapple people and drag them into lakes and things.

Take advantage of not needing to breathe, a cloak of the manta Ray is great.

Spending multiple hours crafting arrows and things while others sleep also is nice.

Lack of darkvision is the only real downside

Pickup the grappler feat and have a buddy play a spell caster with cloud spells.

Dang, gotta read more carefully.

Defensive fighting style is useless for a warforged, since integrated protection does not count as armor i regard to things such as defensive fighting style.

Anyways, if it didn't count as armor it would be even better, you could have better than plate AC and still count as unarmored, allowing stuff like Mask of the Black Dragon, Bracers of Armor, and many class abilities that require less than a certain level of armor.
