Nick's Homebrew Wiki

The Warforged, a mechanical race of people made with living metal and magic. Warforged have souls, much like living people and can feel pain and emotion. Built as tools, they must find their own purpose in the world.

Creature Type: You are a Humanoid

Size: You are Medium or Small. You make this choice when you choose this race.

Speed: You have a walking speed of 30 feet.

Constructed Resilience: You were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits:

You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe.
You are immune to disease.
You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Sentry's Rest: When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn’t render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

Integrated Protection: Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor.

You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of an hour, during which you must remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend an hour removing it, which also requires you to maintain contact with the armor.
While you live, your armor can't be removed from your body against your will.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.
