Warforged

A Warforged is a golem, created by an engineer as a servant. It is a mindless construct, animated by an elemental spirit, able to understand simple instructions and programming in a single language chosen at the time of creation. It can speak the same language, with a very simple vocabulary.

Warforged are humaniform constructs, with chiseled features of solid wood covered with metal plates. Their joints are covered with studded leather, to form a complete humanoid silhouette. They appear anything but human, with simple, bald heads of wood and steel, and jaws of iron set ever in an intimidating scowl.

Warforged are strikers; that is, they excel at offense with physical weapons.

The base for a golem's statistics is equal to the level of the engineer who crafted it. Under the command of an Artificer, a golem improves with training, and it is instead based on the Artificer's level.
