Do they have "Blood," like a alchemical mix, or motor oil that helps
power them.
So they can still heal normally over time, and use craft skills to
heal over downtime
when they aren't sleeping (since a fighter has no need for rest), wow
this keeps
getting better. I still can't see too many drawbacks.
Oh that is an interesting thought other magics that target only
humaniods have no affect on them?
Outside of healing magics 50%?

Isn't there a feat, perhaps medium armor casting that would negate
this penalty
in some book? 5% doesn't look like much, but 5% can be devestating
under
the wrong situations.

Can they graft weapons to their bodies? So the chance for disarm is
reduced?
I could see a Warforged rogue with daggers built into his hands on
springs
being able to use them during grapples if he makes the required checks
during the grapple.
Of course the weapon grafting might limit their ability to use their
hands, arms, etc for other purposes
so that might be a big mistake to do unless the warforged is
single-mindedly a warrior/fighter, etc
whose only purpose is to cause bloodshed.

That's it, next character if we ever get into a Eberron game,
warforged Barb/rogue
moving into invisible blade. Although the nature of his body might
have limiting
factors for that class. Perhaps I'll have to rethink my plans for the
character.
