I was coming up with an idea for an alt-character in case mine meets an untimely end. We are currently in Mechanus.
My thought was a Warforged Druid. Specifically, he was created from wood from a Sacred Grove from the Material Plane, but he remembers being a forest.
One aspect that I want, which I will need to get my DM's approval for, is for him to have learned his wild shapes from books he got from travelers (no many animals in Mechanus). My idea is that I will have to roll a D20 when I go into wild shape, and that determines how realistic they look. For example, if I rolled a 1, it will look like an illustration from a kids book. "Umm..... why does that spiders face look like a person?"
This sounds fantastic! The Druid Circles and Wildshape UA had some alternate rules on shapes known. You could tweak that a bit, maybe use the books learning idea to identify 2-3 shapes you know well enough to emulate.
Hopefully I'll never play him in the campaign I'm currently in. I'm just coming up with the concept just in case my Monk dies. I hope that doesn't happen, I like my Monk! But this concept seems like it would be super fun to play, too!
Well, here's hoping you don't die, BUT if you do you have a solid plan in place. I've got ideas for a Warforged Artificer. I'll start with an NPc I guess since I'm DM for my group. Damn I gotta find someone who will DM.

I really like your thinking. This is a great idea :)
I love it. Actually I play as a Warforged Druid in a death battle campaign (a mega dungeon where the DM just throw all kind of shit at us to kill us). I did not have a soul I was created only to kill. my last mission was to wipe out a dryad settlement but one of them as they were ding cursed me and gave me a soul. and I stayed to protect them and learned their ways. Nothing is better than a robot in DnD XD

two words: wonderful roleplaying!!!

Good luck and keep us posted. Sounds great!

I had a player with a warforged druid. All the wild shapes they did looked like robot versions of the animal. We made a lot of transformers jokes.
