Designed Being

You were designed by magi-technicians for a specific purpose in mind. You have 7 upgrade points with which you can spend on Warforged Upgrades, chosen upon character creation (see Warforged Upgrades for a list of options and their effects).

Integrated Protection

Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor:

• You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
• You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor other than a shield, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way.
• While you live, the armor incorporated into your body can’t be removed against your will.

Living Construct

You were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits:

• You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
• You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe, and have no sense of smell.
• You are immune to disease and magical aging effects.
• You don’t need to sleep, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
• You can be the targeted by- and subjected-to the effects of spells and abilities that can effect either constructs or humanoids.
• As a living construct, you receive half of the normally recovered hit points from spells (minimum of 1), treat all levels of exhaustion as being one level lower, and gain an additional step on the exhaustion track, this step, being the first step, causes the Fatigued condition.

Made to Mend

When a creature casts the mending cantrip on you, you heal for 1d4 + the caster's spellcasting modifier; you can only heal this way a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus, regaining the ability to heal this way after completing a long rest. If all uses are expended this cantrip instead stabilizes you if you are dying.

Maintenance

Whenever you are reduced to 0 hit points, you must roll death saving throws as normal; however, you require 4 total death saving throw fails to officially "die" or otherwise be destroyed beyond maintenance. Should you reach 3 failed death saving throws, you instead gain a level of exhaustion.
Each level of Exhaustion gained in this way can be cured over a long rest; alternatively, a creature can make a DC (15 + 2 per death fail that you have suffered) Tinker's Tools check to repair you over the course of a short rest, if successful you gain 1 hit point in addition to any spent hit dice used to heal yourself, regain consciousness, if unconscious, and lose a level of exhaustion gained because of this trait. Finally, You cannot be healed using the Medicine skill in any way, though a Tinker's Tool check can heal you in the same way a Medicine Kit or Surgery Supplies would.

Sentry’s Rest

When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn’t render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal. During this sentry's rest, you must spend at least two hours of this period, and 1 vial of grease/oil/lubricant oiling your joints and gears. If you have been in a swamp, dessert, in salt-water, or any other poor environment that would cause dirt, grime or other particles to enter your body, the time required is doubled. You must spend this extra time to clean your gears and joints of the gunk, sand and/or salt, before lubricating them. If you fail to do this at least once every 24 hours, you gain a level of exhaustion.
