Warforged in HL - A question from the Paizo forums

I had sent in a new Eberron Races .user file to be hosted on Cheifweasel's site. I just checked and it is still the old version that only has the shifter race.

Hopefully he will have the new one up soon and that one includes the Shifter, Changeling, and Warforged. I can't post it here or d20pfsrd as it is against the OGL to share it.
 
Sorry about that, I uploadde the new file last night. Just let me know if anything goes wrong with it though.

I am in the process of creating a brand new website and launching an online game store/portal to highligh new and small companies so I have been a bit busy as of late. With the new site i also hope to be able to provide more support for the HL community, but more on that later.
 
There's a glitch with Warforged Armor. You can't select Adamantite, Mithral, Composite or Darkwood. It comes up with "Nothing to Select."

There is a Silvered Body somewhere in the Splat Books too. I always felt it was redundant when Mithral is also considered Silver. So Mithral Body would allow you to do damage upon lycanthropes in unarmed combat anyway.

Silvered body isn't redundant since silver is usually more common than mithral.

As for the Warforged Armor, the feats aren't in Chief's dataset. Until they are, you can't add them.
 
@ Takeda - Silver Tracery is what you are thinking of. It isn't a warforged body feat, it adds, basically, silver wire all over the warforged, which allows the warforged slam attack to bypass weapon damage.

I made each of those there own UNIQUE body type as each gives unique characteristics to the warforged.

So you can't take the "default" body type and then try and make it Adamantine in example. Instead you should pick the "Adamantine" body type to start with.

Also allot of those extra Body Feats where converted directly into the Warforged race for this .user file. That was one of the benefits I gave the warforged when converting them to Pathfinder.

Obviously feel free to change that anyway you would like for your own games. The file hopefully should give the community a good starting point for the Eberron races. :)

Ok but How do you choose the body type, I don't see a way to do that. Perhaps I am dense or my aging eyes are failing me but I have tried everything thing I can think of to find the body types and have come up blank. I downloaded the .user file from cheeseweasel today, is there a different version I should be using?

@ShadowChemosh:

I am seconding this as I just downloaded it and am trying to figure out how to select body type as well.

I have been digging around the Warforged Race you put into the editor. I can see clearly the "Custom Ability" name but I don't see it bootstrapped anywhere to allow armor selection (i.e. Body selection).

Damn thanks for the reminder. I gave a fixed version directly to robrowald and he did confirm it now works. I forgot a piece when I copied it out of my house rules file. My bad. :(

I will go send a new copy to chiefweasel right now before I forget again. :)

Its cool, I just wanted to make sure you knew it was not working correctly. As I have no idea how to fix it myself but would have had to taken time to do. Thank You very much friend.

I am still getting the "nothing to choose from" error and I just downloaded the file from cheeseweasel.net. Has it been updated?

If not, is there a quick fix to go into the editor and fix it?

Thanks!
 
The cheeseweasel is migrating things to a new site, it could be a while before he gets around to posting the updated version.
 
The latest version I sent to chiefweasel is actually a .HL file now listed as v1.3 as 12/18/2011. Is that what you downloaded? If not then it has not been updated yet.

It's not under Eberron Races. It's the other Eberron file. If that helps anyone.

I do have a question about the warforged. I see that I can choose different bodies but if I don't choose one, I end up with a validation error. Shouldn't there be a default that avoids this?

Yea I see what you mean. The file everyone wants now is the "Eberron Campaign" one. I will send a note to Chiefweasel to remove the races one as its a redundant old file.

Thanks blzbob.

According to the ECS the default body for a Warforged is called "Composite Plating". This is available from the list and should be taken if you don't want any of the Special body types.

One could also take the "Unarmed Body" one if you wish to NOT have the default +2 armor type that the Composite Plating gives. Plus this allows a Warforged to actually wear Armor then which you can equip normally then on the Armor tab.

At least that was my thoughts on it when I built it. :)

It's been a while since I've looked at the warforged and my books are packed because I'm moving tomorrow so I couldn't look it up. Thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks, I found that one. However, since I loaded the previous file, now I have errors on startup saything that I have duplicate files. It starts in recovery mode and does not allow any of the Eberron races to be selected. Is there an easy fix for this?

Thanks for the help!!

Edit: Sorry, found it! I went to the Hero Lab data file under Program Data and deleted the previous file. Works like a charm now!

Someone else mentioned they would be adding stuff for Eberron also, sorry cant remember a name right now, so wanted to add plz share. :)

Email any .user files and I will be happy to combine them into the download. If everyone was just to add a few things the data set would grow really quickly.

Thanks
