Forgeborn
The Forgeborn are in many ways the dwarven equivalent of
the Warforged though in many cases they were forged for
labour and craft rather than for war. Although they are
constructs, they have much in common with living creatures,
including emotions and social bonds, and perhaps even souls.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength and Constitution
scores increase by 2, but your Charisma decreases by 2.
Alignment. Built by dwarves, most Forgeborn are lawful,
believing firmly in the benefits of a well-ordered society. They
tend toward good as well, with a strong sense of fair play and
a belief that everyone deserves to share in the benefits of a
just order.
Size. Forgeborn stand between 4 and 5 feet tall and
average 300 pounds. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
Darkvision. Built for life underground, you have superior
vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light
within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness
as if it were dim light. You cant discern color in darkness,
only shades of gray.
Dwarf-like Resilience. You are immune to poison.
Dwarven Combat Training. You have proficiency with the
battleaxe, handaxe, light hammer, and warhammer.

need to eat or breathe, but you can ingest food and drink if
you wish. Instead of sleeping, you enter an inactive state for 4
hours each day. You do not dream in this state; you are fully
aware of your surroundings and notice approaching enemies
and other events as normal.

can be removed, but cannot be resold (except as forgeborn or
