Free
Free feats given at character creation:
 * Composite Plating: The feat Composite Plating counts as light armor and grants a +2 armor bonus, but also provides a 5% arcane spell failure chance.

These feats change the body plating the character starts with. They used to only be purchasable at character creation but can now be swapped via Fred later on:
 * Adamantine Body: The Adamantine Body plating is counted as a heavy armor. It grants a +8 armor bonus to Armor Class and a damage reduction bonus of 2/adamantine. The character also incurs a 35% chance for arcane spell failure, a -5 armor check penalty, and a +1 maximum dexterity bonus.
 * Mithral Body: The Mithral Body plating is counted as a light armor and grants a +5 bonus to Armor Class. It also incurs a 15% arcane spell failure, a -2 armor check penalty and has a +5 maximum dexterity bonus.
 * Mithral Fluidity (requires Mithral Body): This feat increases the character's maximum dexterity bonus from mithral body plating by +1 and it decreases the armor check penalties by 1.

Regular
These feats may be purchased just like regular feats:


 * Improved Fortification (requires Warforged, level 8): This feat improves the warforged fortifications. It gains immunity to Sneak Attacks and extra damage from critical hits. This feat will cause the character to lose the ability to be healed by spells such as Cure Light Wounds.
 * Improved Damage Reduction: This feat grants the character damage reduction 1/adamantine, or improves the characters existing damage reduction by 1.
