Overview[edit]
Warforged are a race of sentient constructs built to battle in the Last War. The Warforged body is covered by plating, giving it an inherent AC bonus, but preventing the wearing of other armor. Healing spells have their benefits reduced by half when cast on Warforged. Only the arcane repair spells heal Warforged without any reduction. Warforged can improve their armor class using the Adamantine Body and Mithral Body feats. Warforged can also gain additional abilities and customize their appearance by using docents.
- Warforged is available from the DDO Store for 995
or free to VIP accounts.
- Since Update 53, if you reach 400 total favor on any character, you can talk to Nyx Durandimion to unlock the Warforged race on that server. (Note that on Hardcore, this unlock will reset each season.)
Racial Traits[edit]
- +2 Constitution, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma
- Immune to Sleep, Hold Person, Energy Drained, Nauseated, Exhausted, and Paralyzed effects.
- Immune to ability score damage from Natural Poisons and Natural Diseases, but are vulnerable to those that affect wood or metal.
- Warforged gain a +10 racial bonus to saving throws against Magical Poisons and Magical Diseases and do not fail saving throws against them on a roll of a natural 1 (this makes you immune to Magical Poisons and Magical Diseases with a DC of less than 11+your Fortitude save). If you transform into a different type of creature, you will lose these benefits until you return to your Warforged form.
- Immunity to spells targeting a humanoid.
- A Warforged can remain underwater indefinitely (no oxygen bar displayed).
- A Warforged's Composite Plating provides 5% arcane spell failure chance. This plating is not considered natural armor, and it takes the place of body armor. Because of this, the Warforged is prohibited from wearing other kinds of armor, regardless of its class proficiencies. It can still wield shields and other enhancing items such as helmets, boots, trinkets, and jewelry. Feats taken at character creation can upgrade this plating and its type, changing it to either light or heavy armor. See also Mithral Body, Adamantine Body.
- The ability to wear a docent in the slot which other characters use for armor. Magical docents usually provide an enhancement bonus to the warforged's Armor Class, and may have other magical enhancements. They also have a cosmetic effect on appearance.
- A Warforged's plating also grants it a special feat which provides a stacking +25% Fortification. When the Warforged is the target of a sneak attack or critical hit, there is a 25% chance for the attack to be negated and the damage to be rolled normally. This effect stacks with Fortification.
- Warforged receive a -50 penalty to healing amplification. As a result, positive energy healing spells (such as from divine casters and bards) and potions restore only half as many hit points as normal for a Warforged (this can be increased up to 80% effectiveness with the addition of the Healer's Friend racial enhancement). A warforged's hit points can be restored normally through arcane repair spells and oils, as well as the Lay on Hands Paladin ability or the Divine Healing enhancement of the Radiant Servant.
