Character Crunch: Warforged Errata

Warforged:

Mechanical servants who became self-aware.

Warforged in Sublanarya are found in only one place: Mithrak the City of Progress

Warforged are artificial automatons, mostly made of metal and wood and built to resemble humans, created by commission, based on ancient dwarven designs of soldiers from a Wyrd War army, as a collaboration between artificers and other magic users. They require a tiny spark of the divine to create, usually combined from the creators souls, and all have instructions placed inside their heads when created. They are all born as slaves.

Warforged are owned by the various corporations that rule Mithrak. They, generally speaking, are simple minded. They are created to do specific tasks, such as working part of an assembly line or cleaning floors or building structures. They are not meant to have individuality. But that doesn't stop many warforged from becoming self-aware individuals. While some companies inhumanely destroy these evolved warforged when they pop up, others have taken a more civil approach and instead take advantage of the advanced warforged's new faculties by putting them to more appropriate tasks and/or treating them as employees, complete with a salary, that is completely loyal to their master corporation.

Other warforged become free, either by buying themselves or by the mercy of others. All awakened warforged seek to form their own identity and seek cohabitation with other conscious life-forms even if they face fear and discrimination from the ignorant.

Currently, it is illegal to design warforged capable of hurting other humanoids but it seems inevitable that warforged will once again match their names. Importantly, self-aware warforged ignore this basic programming.

Warforged are a great race to play out the sci-fi fantasy concept of artificial intelligence but you should ask your GM before picking to play a warforged.
