      Because every class likes Constitution, it can pick and choose any two other ability scores, gains essentially a longer trance for long rest, has a poison resistance and immunity to disease, doesn't even need to breathe, eat, or drink, and basically gains a bonus to AC without even needing to wear armor *on top of* skill and tool proficiencies.
      In other words, pretty much a better half elf in every way aside from Charisma-based classes.

    I love warforged. I practically begged my gm to add them to his homebrew world.
    idk if anyone wants some npcs to use in their EBN campaign, but you can use my pc if you like.
    My warforged is called "bishop" and his "twin brother" who he was made to mirror is called "rook". Rook and I are very similar, but Rook made his own path among nobles as a bodyguard while I became an adventurer to "never stop fighting for the forces of good". Our alignments are lawful good and Neutral good. personality wise, we are very different, despite obvious visual similarities. I intend to switch to another warforged if bishop dies, but not Rook. In our setting, a megacity made the warforged as a "noble guard" that protected the royal family and other lesser nobles (but were also given as gifts) during times of strife. Now that the city is safe again, we have fallen from grace since our novelty has worn off (warforged are expensive to produce and even more costly to buy, and didn't like being owned after the huge initial investment). My group, "The Iron Brigade" served a noble family that was caught stealing funds from the city, and we've been surviving in the slums ever since.
    The "Iron Brigade" are as follows:
    Bishop and Rook - good bois
    Ivy - an angry wizard with a "screw loose" that taught Bishop How 2 majik (CG)
    Sixteen - a sneaky warforged that only knows killing. Is an apathetic assassin for hire that only wants to get out of poverty, and cares little for mortal folk (TN/N Impure)
    Crunch - crunch likes to punch. (L Stupid)

    I have so far seen two Warforged PCs in action, in separate games. Both are the obvious "21 AC at Level 1" type Juggernaut builds and are unbelievably good tanks. One was a fighter named Wall ("I am Wall! Wall will protect!"), with the cavalier subclass to defend everyone around him better. The other PC was a paladin... who was 'raised' by a family of halflings... named, if I remember correctly, Robin Smallburrow... who was sent out questing mostly so he would stop breaking everything he touched and getting stuck in the burrows. Both were pretty amusing characters, Wall for how his player played up his naivete about everything out of combat; and Robin for being a genuinely well-meaning oaf who kept trying to talk down monsters (...and actually succeeded in solving an entire module with a natural 20 on a Diplomacy check!)

    Since we aren't in the Eberron setting, I reflavored my warforged character as a metal suit of armor specifically designed to channel arcane and cosmic energies, used by a cult to summon some primordial being and using the body as a containment for it to enter the material plane.
    Ritual went awry, all the cultists were massacred during the being's crossing over and merging with the body, somehow their souls got subsumed in the process and melded with the being as it merged. Which ended up creating a completely new consciousness with only one memory, some of the last words a cultist used: "ser[ve]...vessel..."
    So of course, my character took that as someone addressing him and assumed that was his name. Thus was born, Sir Vessel, a powerful eldritch knight in his day but succumbing to the drawbacks of a physical form, surely brought low by some treacherous ne'er-do-well. Thus this body was forged to channel his arcane prowess while extending his ability to gain further knowledge and skills and supplementing his physical prowess as a warrior, with his mind and skill being transferred to it. Now he must become accustomed to this new body and unlock his forgotten powers, all while striking hard and fast at the evil that plagues the land and to protect the innocent and downtrodden. At least he's surmised all of this about his previous life; I mean, what else could he have been? 😏
    He also took the first name Heinrich. Mostly because it sounded right; he feels like a Heinrich. lol
    (Also no, he's not actually an eldritch knight; not yet at least, kind of a long term goal to roleplay him to there. He's actually a warlock hexblade (blade pact) to tie onto his "extraplanar" heritage, but all of his spells and abilities being him believing them to just be mechanical enhancements channeling his power and attacks all reflavored with anime attack names - Green Flame Blade and Booming Blade are now "Emerald Flame Strike!" and "Concussive Blow!" I love him, he's a lot of fun. lol)

    they can be alot of fun to play...and i have played a number of them in my kind,including homebrew subraces my group invented based on the material that made up my body and the origins of where i came from...including:
    Mirage:
    a "mirror forged" made of enchanted mirrored silver with a mirror shield and a lightning lance,my head was a faceless reflective surface,however glowing eyes could manifest,and would change color based on my mood and expression...i was a Psionic warrior and often employed enhancements on my self like "expand"...in addtion a perminately enchanted my armor and weapons with "blurr",whenever i would move a short disorientating trail would follow...earning my characters nickname the "silver Mirage",so my character started calling himself Mirage.
    Teshelon
    an "angel forged" made from peices of both mechanus and infused with the golden light of Mercuria(the second heaven)..creating a powerfull
    celstial natured warforged...i had a pair of golden aetheral wings that i could somone whenever i chose and my armor was white with gold accents on it,i was a Paladin on a quest of personal perfection..and in a persuit to earn my halo and the title of "El" being added at the ending of my own name,becoming an archangel (unfortunately the game ended before i had a chance to achieve that dream)....i wielded the mighty flaming sword "Requiem"...i had some minor asamar like powers,but i had to earn most of my divvine power later on (not just be leveling up either)...i did have all the same powers of any other warforged though. (except my favored classes were different than a normal warforged).
    Lobo the Iron wanderer.
    the greatest warforged i ever made...
    1000 years prior there lived a powerfull elvan alchemist and Wizard that was charged with protecting a vast kindom..because of him he kept his kindom safe and prosperous...until a terrible calamity befell the continent and wiped out everyone,including him...but being the accomplished wizard he was he had a falesafe incase anything were to happen to him...when his body was destroyed his soul entered into a lifeles warforge body..he went into a deep sleep,eventuallly waking up in his new form 1000 years later in what was left of ruined palace...though he understated the potency of the magic,and there were "complications" most notibly,all his memories were wiped,even his own name was a mystery to him...
    this coupling the fact that this was set in a world where warforged did not exist,he was a unique creature...he explored the castle,not knowing who or "what" he even was...for the first week of his new life,he learned simple things like how to read and speak (there was an amusing moment on day 4 when he tried to talk to a suit of armor mounted up against the wall)...through the books he read he learned of alchemy and that it bore connection to the runes that existed on his body...one in Ignian,one in Aquan,one in Terran,one in Auren and one in Primordial...after a week of wandering the palace (and finding a potent mace called "Mordukens star" ) he decided to become an alchemist and search for the secrets what where he came from and what his purpose was...he would go on to take the name "Lobo" and take the first brave steps out into the world...he would go on to tinker with his body,as well as other machines and become an artificer as well...these two professions led him into becoming a trader of magical items and recorces...eventually gaining posessions of special elemental scrolls that summoned Noble Elemental spirits in which he did business with and went into a bound contract with on of each elemental plane....the Air nobel offered his services of the west wind...that would carry rumers and information to my ears,as well as words of danger and warning...the Fire nobel offered me supplies of empowered alchemist fire and other such reagents...the earth noble offered me precious jewls and minerals and the water noble would give me exotic reagents from her domain...these things were traded to me in axchange for my own services of undertaking quests for them and giving them treasures from the material world that were rare in thier planes.
    i would often creat defistating elemental bombs and tonics that i would fire out of the rist cannon fixated apon my left arm (exposed when taking my gauntlet on that arm off)..my body was fairly articulate and i had a few arms and other limbs i could attach on myself for various perposes...my favorite weapons where my lightning gauntlets with shocking grasp and burst on them...i could even fire them like projectiles and make them return to me....because of my potency in my trades i kept our party very well off in money...
    and it was all thanks to that first 100 i roled that got me "mordenkainen's star" a powerfull morningstar/mace that when striking something non magical and inorganic (like a weapon or armor) with a critical hit,it would turn disimilate into the natural components used to craft it...for instance,a steel longsword would turn into the ingots used to craft it.
    woah that was a long reply...sorry

So I was planning stats in Highest to Lowest to be Str, Con, Dex, Int, Wis, and Cha. Wis is kinda low cuz he can read a room ENOUGH, but not well, and he isn’t much for words (so dump Cha). Int is decent since he needs to be able to strategize. Dex for Initiative. Con for Health. And Str for helping either slaughter weak mages, or to at least make concentration VERY hard to maintain.

    just so your know the official content does not say that the medium armor for the warforged gives disadvantage on stealth, but it does say that for the heavy armor just thought that was something to point out because that means if you have a +2 to dex and are playing a strength based build you could make the excuse that the medium armor doesn't impose disadvantage on stealth

    Now they just get +2 Con, a floating +1, and can intergrate armour into their own body with a +1 bonus if they're proficient in it.
    Personal favourite class with Warforged? Hexblade. You can start with 14 Dex, 16 in Con and Charisma, 10 in Int and Wis. Integrate your medium armour, and use your Charisma stat exclusively for fighting.

    Don't forget about the greates of all Warforged: Rood.

    I feel like Warforged, being that they search for orders and purpose, would make excellent Warlocks. At least thematically.

    I play a worforged that was a robot built by the USA to fight Communists and after a nuclear explosion somehow ended up in the dnd world instead of dying but he was deactivated for thousands of years slowly decayed but was found and was recently reactivated and was rebuilt to look like a normal warforged its fun because he knows everything about our time and nothing about what's going on in the dnd world

    Warforged Forge Cleric who makes repairs for other Warforged after being a courier in the war. Named crash for his ridiculously high ac and ability to walk off from a carriage crash.

    I wasn’t aware of the Wayfinders Guide version which is so much cooler than the regular Eberron: Rising version
    Also I’m playing a Druid/Monk warforged
