Warforged Components b0.03

WARFORGED COMPONENTS
The warforged are living constructs, creations of magic not entirely dissimilar to magic items themselves.
A warforged character can incorporate special magic items—from weapons and armor to rings and rods—
called components, into its own partially living, partially constructed form. While theoretically any item
can be crafted for this purpose, certain objects are specifically designed for use by warforged characters. A
bonded item can either be embedded into the body of a warforged or attached to a limb. House Cannith
created some of these during the Last War. Others are more recent creations of the Lord of Blades or the
warforged of the Mournland. Strangest of all are the components that have been recovered from Xen'drik—
suggesting the use of creatures much like the warforged among the ancient civilizations of that devastated
land.
Embedding or Attaching a Warforged Component: Any character capable of creating a magic item can
make the same magic item as a warforged component, and any warforged character capable of using a
magic item can use the same item as a warforged component. Warforged components use the special
rules given below, and otherwise conform to the normal rules for creating and using magic items. A
warforged component usually occupies the same space on the body that a magic item of the same kind
normally would. Components that do not occupy any space on the body cost twice what they would
cost as ordinary magic items. These components only work when bonded to the body of a warforged;
they are not usable by members of any other race. There is no chance of damaging an embedded
warforged component when the warforged rolls a 1 on a saving throw, and an embedded component
cannot be targeted by an attack independently of the warforged who bears it. Attached components,
however, can be damaged and targeted. If a warforged component requires activation, the character
with the component can activate it with a thought. Doing this requires the same kind of action as for an
ordinary magic item (usually a standard action), but the warforged can do it silently and without
moving, and never provokes an attack of opportunity to activate a component. Attaching or detaching a
warforged component is a standard action that never provokes an attack of opportunity. If a warforged
character has at least 1 hit point, embedded or attached components cannot be removed unless the
warforged wants them to be. A disabled warforged (-1 to -9 hp) has no choice in the matter; embedded
or attached components can be removed from a disabled warforged. If a warforged is destroyed (-10
hit points), each component gets an appropriate saving throw to remain intact; intact components can
be salvaged. Basic components are ordinary magic items modified to serve as warforged components,
or specially designed components with no unusual characteristics.
Editor: Warforged components are almost like grafts, but not quite. A graft is a part of your body forever
and will come back with you if you are brought back from the dead. Warforged components can be
scavenged from your corpse and are still magical, thus can be countered by an AMF. Why include
them, then? Because it is possible to get warforged limbs and use some of these components on those
limbs. Also, they act as a potential source of new grafts.
Editor (How Non-Warforged Use These): Well, a UMD check to pretend you are a warforged is only a DC
25. So if you succeed, you will pass as a Warforged for 1 hour. By the end of which, you will need to
roll again. Which can get weird if it is embedded into your body. But that’s okay, it just pops out. I
know that doesn’t make any sense, but by RAW, that’s how it works. If your DM asks, just say “it’s
magic.”
Editor (Thinking outside the 1st Party Box): There is some debate as to if Kingdom’s of Kalamar is official
d20 product. Personally, the editor views KoK as 2nd party material. Here’s why: On page 198 of the
KoK Player’s Guide is a magic item called the potion of blood. It can be for any race. Once drank, you
are considered to be of that race for the purpose of using magic items. This lasts for the rest of your
life, or until you drink a new potion, then the old potion no longer applies. Cost 750 gp. So, if your DM
allows KoK, this allows anyone to become a flipping cyborg. By RAW, it works, IF you accept KoK
as valid material. I leave that distinction up to your DM.
ARMBLADE
- EBERRON CAMPAIGN SETTING (3.5)
Price: 2,300 gp.
Component: Attached Embedded
Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 17) divination
Activation: Standard (Mental)
Weight: lbs.
Armblade (attached component): This large metal cylinder with a heavy, serrated sword blade at one end
attaches to a warforged. It fits over the hand and forearm. An armblade is a +1 bastard sword, and requires
the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (bastard sword) feat to use it properly. While the weapon is attached, the
warforged cannot be disarmed, but the warforged also cannot use that hand for other tasks without
removing the armblade. In addition, the wielder gains a + 2 bonus on opposed attack rolls made to disarm
an opponent. If the wielder uses a ready action to set an armblade against a charge, he deals double damage
on a successful hit against a charging character. Faint transmutation; CL 5th; Graft Magic Arms and
Armor, heroism; Price 2,300 gp; Weight 8 lb.
Editor: .
ARMBOW
Price: gp.
Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th
Weight: lbs.
Armbow (attached component): This +2 repeating light crossbow is formed from densewood, and it has an
unusually thick and rounded stock. It attaches to the arm of a warforged, completely covering the hand.
This component only operates when attached and locked in place. An armbow magically loads and fires
with a thought, as a standard action. The weapon automatically creates bolts to keep its ammunition case
filled. The case holds 5 bolts at a time; whenever one bolt is fired, another one is magically created. It can
create 20 bolts per day. Thereafter, the warforged can use his own life energy to create additional bolts, at a
cost of 1 hit point per bolt. At any time, the warforged can expend 3 hit points to create a bolt that is
aligned as if he had cast align weapon on it. Creating a bolt is a free action. Bolts vanish if they are
removed from the armbow without being shot. Hit points used to create a bolt are treated just as if the
character took damage; they can be healed or repaired normally. An armbow cannot use normal bolts
(either magical or mundane); it is designed to create and fire its own magical bolts. Moderate evocation and
conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, align weapon, minor creation; Price 20,000 gp; Weight

BATTLE VISOR
- DRAGON MAGAZINE #
Price: gp.
Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th
Weight: lbs.
BATTLE VISOR
[ATTACHED COMPONENT] Price (Item Level): 55,000 gp (18th) Body Slot: Head Caster Level: 5th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 17) divination Activation: Move Weight: 3 lbs. Dragon Magazine #: 352 (Eberron:
Dragonmarks – Warforged: Fierce and Furious) Possessing smooth lines and a sleek but powerful look, this
mithral visor–of the kind commonly found on helmets of full plate armor–bears two vertical eye slits
connected by a single horizontal crossbar, giving it the look of two crosses touching in the middle. Battle
visors gave warforged commanders of the Last War the ability to quickly assess magical threats on the
battlefield. Lowering the visor and locking it into place activates its powers. With the visor locked in place,
you gain the ability to discern magical auras and threats, as greater arcane sight. You can also see invisible,
as the spell. Finally, you can automatically see any abjuration effect with a variable effect–thus, if a warrior
is shrouded in protection from elements, you know which energy type he is protected against (this extends
to spell immunity and other variable abjuration effects as well). Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, greater
arcane sight, see invisible. Cost to Create: 27,500 gp, 2,200 XP, 55 days.
BATTLEFIST
Battlefist (attached component): This +1 weapon resembles a massively oversized spiked gauntlet; one
designed for a Medium warforged looks like a gauntlet designed for an ogre. It attaches to the arm of a
warforged, completely covering the hand. This component only operates when attached and locked in
place. A battlefist increases the damage dealt by the character's natural slam attack to 1d8 points of
bludgeoning and piercing damage (assuming a Medium character). Versions with higher enhancement
bonuses are not uncommon. A warforged monk who uses a battlefist deals increased unarmed damage as
though the character were one size larger than actual, and he can add the battlefist's enhancement bonus to
his unarmed attack and damage rolls. Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Graft Magic Arms and Armor, bull's
strength; Price 2,600 gp; Weight 6 lb.

interior looks like a small dark space. This component was created to allow the smuggling of contraband
inside warforged slaves or to aid in the concealment of dangerous weapons. These compartments are
constructed to blend in with the warforged's body composition, requiring a DC 30 Search check to find.

Weight: 1 lb. Dragon Magazine #: 341 (Arcane Upgrade: Warforged Magic Items) This headband,

into an actual living eye mounted on a 6-inchlong eyestalk in the middle of the warforged's forehead. The
eye glows a bright yellow and is clearly visible even in darkness or deep shadow (all Hide checks are made
at a -5 penalty while the eye is active). The character gains darkvision with a range of 60 feet and can
continuously see invisibility, as the spell. In addition, the eyestalk is extraordinarily elastic and extends to a
length of up to 10 feet. Opponents may target and damage the eyestalk, which is AC 20 and has 15 hit
points. If the eyestalk is destroyed it immediately vanishes and cannot be used again for one week. The

CLAW GAUNTLET
Price: gp.
Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th
Weight: lbs.
This gauntlet was designed by the drow to enhance the warforged they created after the fall of the giants.
The invension of this attached component led to the eventual creation of the warforged scorpion, but a
number of these claws still exist.

within the claw, helping it open and close.
Activation: A claw gauntlet attaches to one hand, completely covering it.

Price: gp.
Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th
Weight: lbs.
Command Circlet (attached component): Once granted by Breland to warforged who exhibited extreme
bravery and excellent strategic acumen, the command circlet was an honorific reward often accompanied
by an increase in rank. This gold band fits easily over the brow of a warforged, fusing there and occupying
space on the body as a magic helm. Only two dozen were originally made, but since the Last War, those
few have been joined by command circlets created by the warforged of the Mournland. A warforged
wearing a command circlet can telepathically speak to any other warforged within 100 feet as a free action
(though the circlet does not grant the ability to hear mental replies). The wearer must be able to see the
warforged that he wishes to speak to; if multiple warforged are in range, the wearer may speak to them all
at the same time or deliver different messages to individuals or groups as time allows. In addition, once per
day, the circlet can be used to cast remove fear upon up to ten warforged within 30 feet of the wearer
(including the wearer, if desired). Faint divination; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, detect thoughts, remove

Slot: Throat Caster Level: 6th Aura: Moderate; (DC 18) evocation Activation: Standard (mental) Weight: 1
lb. Dragon Magazine #: 341 (Arcane Upgrade: Warforged Magic Items) The disk of illumination is a slim
metal token in the shape of the sun that glitters whenever struck by even the dimmest light. Three times per
day, the disk can illuminate the nonwood portions of the warforged's body, making it shine as the daylight
spell for 1 hour (centered on the warforged). Whenever the warforged is illuminated in this way, the bright
light makes looking directly at the warforged difficult, granting the warforged a +2 concealment bonus to
AC. This AC bonus does not apply against opponents that rely on senses other than sight to detect and
target the warforged. Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, daylight. DISK OF SHADOW [EMBEDDED
COMPONENT] Price (Item Level): 20,000 gp (15th) Body Slot: Throat Caster Level: 6th Aura: Moderate;
(DC 18_ evocation Activation: Standard (mental) Weight: 1 lb. Dragon Magazine #: 341 (Arcane Upgrade:
Warforged Magic Items) This disk, a slim metal token in the shape of a crescent moon, always seems
somehow shrouded in shadow even if placed in direct sunlight. Three times per day, the disk can cause
inklike black vapors to pour from the warforged's mouth, shrouding it in shadowy illumination as the
darkness spell for 1 hour (centered on the warforged). Whenever the warforged is shrouded in this way, the
shadows hide the warforged's movements, granting it a +2 concealment bonus to AC and a +5 bonus on
Hide checks. These bonuses do not apply against creatures that possess darkvision or other senses that
allow them to ignore the effects of darkness. Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, darkness.
DOCENT COMPONENTS
Price: gp.
Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th
Weight: lbs.
DOCENT COMPONENTS A docent is a small metal sphere, approximately 2 inches across, studded with
gems or dragonshards. Explorers have found them in Xen'drik, and artificers and warforged alike have so
far failed to discover the secret of their construction. Despite a strong magical aura, a docent has no
apparent abilities. Its powers are only revealed when it is attached to a warforged (taking up space on the
body as an amulet). At this point, a docent comes to life—literally. A docent is an intelligent magic item
designed to advise and assist the warforged it is attached to. A docent follows the standard rules for
determining alignment for intelligent items. However, it differs from normal intelligent items in other ways.
. A docent has an Intelligence score of 2d6 + 8 (minimum 12) and Wisdom and Charisma scores of 2d6 + 6
(minimum 10). . A docent perceives its surroundings by using the senses of the warforged it is attached to,
but it does not use the Search, Spot, or Listen skills of the warforged. • A docent can always communicate
telepathically with the warforged that it is attached to. Under normal circumstances a docent cannot speak,
but a warforged can choose to give the docent direct control over his own voice. . One of the primary
purposes of a docent is to serve as a translator for its warforged. All docents speak Giant and Common. A
docent can understand an additional two languages for each point of Intelligence modifier that it possesses.
When a docent is discovered, it may not have filled all of these language slots; a docent found in Xen'drik
may speak Elven or Draconic, but it is unlikely to know Dwarven, having never encountered a dwarf.
However, it quickly fills empty slots as it encounters new languages. Instead of the usual list of powers, a
docent receives 1d4 powers chosen or randomly determined from the following list. Docent Powers d%

Item has status effect, usable at will. +ll,000gp If the same power is rolled twice, roll again. The docent
uses the power, not the warforged. Activating a power or concentrating on an active one is a standard
action the item takes. A docent can only make use of the Diplomacy skill if its warforged host grants the
docent full control of the host's voice. A docent has a base market price of 2,500 gp in addition to the value
of the abilities it contains. The Ego score of a docent is determined in the same manner as for a standard
intelligent item. A warforged can only attach a single docent. The bearer can choose to remove a docent in
order to replace it with another one, but the powers of the new item do not activate until 24 hours after the
character removed the first docent.

Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th

Final Messenger (embedded component): This component is an intricate assemblage of clockwork and
filigree wings, designed to serve as a communication device within warforged units. A final messenger
occupies space as an amulet, drawing energy from its warforged host. While the messenger is attached, the
warforged may take a standard action to implant a destination, a target individual, the image of what the
warforged is currently able to see, and a message of up to 25 words into the messenger. As a free action,
the host can release the final messenger, at which point it flies to its destination by as direct a route as
possible. Once it reaches this location, it seeks the target creature (if one has been specified); otherwise it
looks for the nearest warforged. Any warforged who attaches the messenger can review the message that it
contains. Should a warforged be destroyed while bearing a final messenger, the messenger immediately
flies to seek its target. It retains its stored message, but replaces any stored image with a view of the last
thing seen by the slain warforged. A final messenger is a Fine construct with AC 26 (touch 26, flat-footed
26), 6 hit points, and a fly speed of 60 feet (perfect). It has low-light vision and darkvision out to 60 feet. It
has no limbs and cannot perform any meaningful action aside from seeking its target and delivering its
message. An unattached messenger can remain active for a maximum of 8 hours, after which it becomes
inert. It can only replenish its energy by attaching to a warforged; every minute it is attached allows 1
minute of activity after being released, to a maximum of 8 hours. Moderate transmutation; CL 11th; Craft
Construct, animate objects, sending; Price 6,000 gp.

silversmithing, and so on), as well as Disable Device and Open Locks checks. Using the gauntlet of the deft
hand precludes the warforged from holding a weapon in its transformed hand for the duration of the effect.
Once activated, the gauntlet's effect lasts indefinitely, but its wearer can deactivate and remove the gauntlet
at will. The warforged may use the various blades and tools created by the gauntlet in exotic weapons. The
tools deal only 1d4 points of slashing or piercing damage (user's choice). Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous
Item, alter self.

Weight: 8 lbs. Dragon Magazine #: 341 (Arcane Upgrade: Warforged Magic Items) These oversized
gauntlets are forged from dull gray pig-iron and appear battered from use, even when newly created. When
activated, the gauntlets extend the warforged's arms. The warforged's hands transform into shovels and can
dig through earth and stone, displacing 10 cubic- feet of earth or 2 cubic feet of stone every 10 minutes.
The shovel arms have an effective Strength score equal to 20 or the warforged's own Strength score,
whichever is greater. When activated, the gauntlets make the warforged top-heavy and unable to wield
anything in its hands. It loses its Dodge bonus to AC (if any) and takes a -5 penalty on all Dexterity-based
skills. Both gauntlets must be worn for the magic to be effective. The warforged may use the gauntlets for a
total of 1 hour per day. This duration need not be consecutive, but each activation must last at least 10
minutes. The warforged may use the shovel blades as exotic weapons. The shovel blades deal only 1d4
points of slashing damage. Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, alter self, soften earth and stone.

wide, dull gray metal bands affixed by a hinge in the back and a sturdy clasp in the front engraved with the
symbol of an open, fang-filled mouth. With a command word, the torso of the warforged wearing the iron-
tooth girdle violently contorts and splits open, transforming into a great maw filled with a vicious set of
gnashing metal teeth. The maw can stretch from the warforged's torso in order to make one bite attack per
round (in addition to any other attacks the warforged can make). This is a secondary natural attack with a 5-
foot reach. The maw deals 3d6 points of piercing damage, threatens a critical on a roll of 19-20, and is
considered a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. During a grapple, the
warforged can attack with the maw without taking the normal penalty for attacking while in a grapple. If
the warforged succeeds in pinning an opponent, it can have the maw automatically deal its bite damage to
the pinned opponent each round. The girdle's maw can make a total of ten bite attacks per day.

using power points supplied by you, and the specifi c effect depends on the power used. However, you

Slot: –– Caster Level: 6th Aura: Moderate; (DC 18) evocation Activation: Standard (mental) Weight: ––
Dragon Magazine #: 341 (Arcane Upgrade: Warforged Magic Items) A rust-hued and highly polished
stone, this egg-shaped component is warm to the touch. The warforged must swallow the stone, which is
thereafter incorporated into the warforged's internal components. Once per day, when the warforged speaks
the proper command word, the stone (and the warforged) grows incredibly hot for 5 rounds. A thick cloud
of roiling steam erupts from the warforged's mouth to create a fog cloud, as the spell but with the following
additional properties. Creatures adjacent to the warforged when the stone of internal fire is active take 1d4
points of fire damage each round they remain adjacent. A creature that touches the warforged when it is
heated by the stone takes 2d4 points of fire damage (this is in addition to damage for being adjacent, if that
applies), For all the protection the stone of internal fire offers, it does come with a cost. Every round the
stone is active the warforged takes 1d4 points of fire damage. The warforged must make a DC 15 Fortitude
save each round. If it fails, any flammable object worn, held, or carried by the warforged bursts into flame.

Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th
Weight: lbs.

peaked band of silvery metal with ventlike structures that fall under the eyes when worn. Originally created
for use by warforged reconnaissance troops, the tracker mask grants its wearer the scent ability (see page
314 of the Monster Manual). However, many warforged covet this item because it gives them the ability to
smell all scents, not merely those of a creature being tracked. The mask occupies space on the body as
goggles and fuses with the wearer’s face when donned, forming a nose ridge with the slatted vents on either
side. Faint divination; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, owl’s wisdom; Price 18,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

body as a pair of gloves and a pair of boots, but when a warforged attaches them, they fuse with his armor
and retract until needed. A warforged wearing these magic items gains a +5 competence bonus on Climb
checks to climb a surface (but not to climb a rope) and a +5 competence bonus on Balance checks on
slippery surfaces (such as ice or an area coated by a grease spell). Faint transmutation; CL 5th; Craft

VANGUARD TREADS
- EXPLORER’S HANDBOOK (3.5)
Price: gp.
Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th
Weight: lbs.
A common warforged component, vanguard treads provide speed and stability to a warforged fighting amid
the rubble and carnage of the battlefield. Lore: The ancient giants made the first vanguard treads, which
can attach to the feet of warforged (Knowledge [arcana] DC 15). Vanguard treads greatly aid warforged as
they negotiate difficult terrain and hazards (Knowledge [arcana] DC 20). Description: Vanguard treads
appear to be oversize metal boots with spiked, treaded soles. Their most impressive feature is their sheer
size—they look big enough to fi t a heavily armored ogre. Along the top cuff is a row of inset amethysts
that seem to glow a bright purple whenever the wearer runs, charges, or resists a bull rush. Prerequisite:
Vanguard treads are embedded warforged components, so they function only for warforged characters.
Activation: A set of vanguard treads occupies space on the body as a pair of boots, providing its benefi ts
automatically as long as it’s embedded. Embedding or detaching a pair of vanguard treads is a standard
action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. Effect: Your vanguard treads provide you with superior
traction and stability, which has the following game effects: • You can move through diffi cult terrain (such
as rubble, undergrowth, steep slopes, stairs, or snow) at your normal speed and without suffering any other
impairment. • You are likewise unaffected by slippery ice, wet stones, or other areas where traction is a
problem. • You gain a +8 bonus on attempts to resist bull rushes, and a +4 bonus on grapple checks to resist
a grapple attempt if that grapple would move you into another square. Areas that have been magically
manipulated to impede movement (such as an entangle spell) still affect you, as does water, quicksand, and
other nonsolid surfaces. You likewise have to slow down for narrow paths requiring Balance checks and for
surfaces steep enough to require Climb checks. If the terrain deals damage (such as the burning ground on
the plane of Fernia), you still take that damage. The massive spikes and treads on the soles of your feet
leave a distinctive trail. Anyone following you gains a +8 circumstance check on the Survival or Search
checks made to track you. Aura/Caster Level: Faint transmutation. CL 3rd. Construction: Craft Wondrous
Item, spider climb, 1,500 gp, 120 XP, 3 days. Weight: 2 lb. Price: 3,000 gp.
Editor: .
WAND SHEATH
Price: gp.
Body Slot:
Caster Level: 5th
Weight: lbs.
Wand Sheath (embedded component): This narrow sheath is embedded in the forearm and hand of a
warforged character, occupying space on the body as if it were a bracer. Once it is in place, the warforged
can insert a normal magic wand into the sheath, whereupon it merges with the character's body. The sheath
can hold a single wand. Once a wand is inserted, it cannot be removed until all its charges are used up, at
which point the wand drops out of the sheath and a new one can be inserted. A character can activate a
sheathed wand (assuming the character could activate the wand normally) without having to retrieve it,
simply by pointing a finger and thinking about activating it. Thus, the character can activate it in an area of
silence or while grappling without difficulty. Faint transmutation; CL 4th; Craft Wondrous Item, Craft
Wand, polymorph; Price 4,000 gp.
Editor: So you have UMD. At a DC 25 you can emulate being a warforged. Now you install the wand
sheath with a wand of your choice in your arm. By the rules it will only last an hour then you need to
make another UMD check. What happens when it fails? Since it merges by magic, both the sheath and
the wand should pop out after an hour and then you can add a new wand.
Editor (Removing the wand): Well you want to switch out the wand early. Run this one by your DM. Use
magical device to emulate being an elf and no longer a warforged. By the rules it should pop out of
your body. That is some serious BS, so make sure your DM agrees with it. UMD doesn’t actually have
any rules about intentionally NOT being something, but it should work that way. Remember, you can
only “emulate only one race at a time.” So you can’t be an elf and a warforged. This is the sort of stuff
that gets you hit with a flung monster manual.
