The metallic figure stood still in the forest, day passed to night over and over and yet it remained still and unmoving. An occasional spark fizzed to life momentarily in the figures face and gradually built into a constant pale blue nimbus giving it the approximation of two eyes. A high pitched whine reached a crescendo and the figure took a lurching step forward, then another and another. Finally a gravelly voice echoed form an grill where a mouth should be.
"System restored, analysis, minor damage to limbs and torso, Docent expended" the head turned left to right and took in the surroundings. "Location unknown, purpose uknown" the figure knelt to examine something. "Remains found, analysis.....appears to be humanoid" The head turned left to right again "appears location is battlefield, remains of five humanoids in immediate vicinity, deaths caused by violent attack with bludgeoning weapon" the head looked at its hands "Analysis confirms damage to humanoids inflicted witht his units hands" The figures head snapped up as a shrill horn echoed through the area, swiftly followed by the sounds of battle in the distance. "Combat protocls enaged, seek and destroy" the figure lurched into a run towards the sounds of battle.

OK so the concept and reason for the above....none really, I just had a little idea for a Warforged character with 5 levels each of Barbarian, Artificer, Rogue or Ranger and Druid and called B.A.R.D. I doubt it would be optimised in any way (given you need Str, Dex, Int and Wis 13+) but could be interesting to play a warforged who starts out as a damaged/amnesiac who short circuits in combat and enters a rage then starts to develope other skill sets as it gains more experience with the world.
I was thinking of it starting off with Envoy Warforged, and then level up as Barbarian (path of the Berserker) 5, then Artificer (Alchemist, becasue I'm not a fan of the other versions) 5, then Rogue or Ranger (any subclass) 5 and finally Duird (any subclass) 5. Only reason for the choice of classes is the first letter of each class spells out BARD.
