Warforged Druid?

[Deth Muncher]

I was going to do this in an Eberron/Ravnica campaign a friend of mine was doing, until he banned me from doing so because I realized that Wildshape + Warforged = Transformer, and instead went to Monk. Either way, how would that work, a warforged druid?

[MrNexx]

From what I understand, it works like standard, though if you have either Mithril or Adamantine body feats, you cannot use your druid abilities.

[Nermy]

I'm pretty sure you can't use your druid abilities unless you waste a feat on Unarmored Body or Ironwood Body.

[Deth Muncher]

Well, yes, but how would it work in game? Could you pray to yourself, since druids have to pray to plants(ish), and you have wooden parts? Woruld it even make sense? Isnt a warforged a profanity of nature anyway?

[Seffbasilisk]

Or, I believe there's a feat 'Unarmored Body'. 1st level only, takes off the warforged base armor.

[MrNexx]

I'm pretty sure you can't use your druid abilities unless you waste a feat on Unarmored Body or Ironwood Body.

According to Races of Eberron, page 23, this is not the case.

Druids don't pray to plants... they pray to nature, or make pacts with spirits, or some variety thereof. They aren't a profanity of nature... they are magical constructs, in a world where magic is part of nature. In this case, it is something attempting to understand the natural world around it in the most direct way possible.

[Deth Muncher]

As I recall from the Eberron book, you can be a druid with base armor on, but you cant have armor upgrades, as MrNexx said. And why in the Twelve Gods' names would you take "Unarmoured Body"?

Because their basic armor has an Arcane Spell Failure Chance.

Right, but that takes away everything that is Warforged. Without armor you're...some guy made of wood and stone. Woo?

[Seffbasilisk]

Same guy who's a LIVING CONSTRUCT, who doesn't need to eat/drink/sleep/breathe...is immune to fatigue and exhaustion, can be healed by a wizard (instead of a cleric)

Healed...by Wizard? What the heck? Sorry, Im a bit nooby when it comes to warforged, but what is this?

[lord_khaine]

there is a wizard spell called repair construct, guess what it does?

Ach mein Gott in himmel! What the heck? I want an amulet of Repair Construct....

Some guy made of wood and stone who happens to be wearing a rhino hide, is completely capable of becoming a rhino himself, and doesn't like what you're saying about his people.

[Frosty]

Immune to Fatigue and exhaustion eh? Barb/Warblade/Frenzied Berserker Warforged here we come?

[Shades of Gray]

Well I'm currently playing a Warforged Barbarian/ Bear Warrior/ Druid.

I can turn into a bear, then turn into a bear...

also I love using alter self if I'm a warforged wizard. Make yourself any construct, polymorph into Adamantine Golem

[Yuki Akuma]

Ach mein Gott in himmel! What the heck? I want an amulet of Repair Construct....

...What? There's no such thing. The spells are Repair Light Damage, Repair Medium Damage, and so on... they're Cure spells with no spell resistance (so they can work on golems) and only affect constructs.

[Aquaseafoam]

Psions can heal Warforged too.

[Beleriphon]

Psions can heal Warforged too.

So can clerics, although very inefficiently.

[freetobeuandme]

The only option for a warforged who wants improved armor and the full power of the druid is the Ironwood Body feat presented in Races of Eberron.
This is the same thing as metal except it can't burn or be affected by turn wood spells. Best of both wood and metal

[FlyMolo]

Hee Hee, Druid+Warforged=Transformers.... hee hee.

Seriously. That's hilarious. Give them an option of "wild"shaping into other constructs or mundane objects...

[ladditude]

Arcane spell failure doesn't matter since druids cast divine spells. The problem is that druids loose abilities if they wear metal, so a Warforged would need to lack metal, I assume.

Warforged only have a passing resemblance to robots.

That is all.

[Kyeudo]

No one has mentioned the Landforged Walker yet? It's a prestige class for Warforged Druids, and a pretty good one too. Just look in Secrets of Xendrik for the full benefits.

These are druids so devoted to nature that plants grow on them!!

[Chronicled]

I just had a Warforged Druid (Shapeshift variant)/Paladin of Freedom concept shot down by my soon-to-be-DM. Now I have to find another way to smuggle the phrase "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" into a DND campaign. (And just maybe, "Transform, and roll out!")

[Aerogoat]

I don't play Eberron, so I don't know if there's anything in the books to provide the Wild Shape of a proper Transformer. If not, City Soul would do it for high-level Warforged Druids.

I was just about to mention this. It DOES make them Transformers!

Especially near the power plant. *rimshot*

[Ascension]

I suddenly have the urge to houserule together an evil warforged druid BBEG with the power to transform into a heavy crossbow... He'll need a scheming lieutenant who favors flight forms as well...

[Theli]

Ok, ok, ok, ok...repeat after me.

"Warforged are not robots."

Again!

"Warforged are not robots!"

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

...

Ah, it's enough to drive a man mad... (Mad I say!)
