What will you uncover about the nature of the warforged in your game? Read on to learn more about these complex and unique creatures and their evolution as a race over the years.
Whether you’re playing a warforged of Eberron, or a gearforged of Midgard (which we’ll discuss later), you can explore the dichotomy of being a creature that was forged from inanimate parts yet that also possesses feelings, hopes, and aspirations. Playing a sentient construct is a nuanced character experience like no other that goes far beyond the stats and mechanics you’ll mark on your 5th edition character sheet. However, their forms belie a powerful sentience and an iron will that allows them to act, perceive, and feel deeply. If judged on their appearance alone, the warforged could be mistaken for mindless golems. They have a long, scarred history in the realm of Eberron that is rife with war, suffering, and mystery.
Warforged are powerful, living constructs forged from a combination of wood, stone, and metal.
