We finally have a decent Warforged (and other Eberron Races).
I liked the execution of Internal Platong, but some things aren’t clear to me: how this ability interacts with other sources of AC like Barbarian (CON to AC) and Monk (WIS to AC)?
At Lvl1 A Warforged Barbarian could easily reach AC 18 with a Greatsword (11+ 2 Proficiency + 2 Dex + 3 Con) ... is that right?
Some spells and class features give you a different way to calculate your AC. If you have multiple features that give you different ways to calculate your AC, you choose which one to use.
You can tell what stacks and what doesn't by how it specifies the AC. Barbarian for example states, "your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier."
Only something that states that it adds a BONUS to your armor class will actually add to an AC calculation.

Would the Warforged heavy armor count for the purposes of Heavy Armor Mastery?
Edit: Thought the system was calculating wrong, but actally my players was adjusting it... wooops !
RAI, no doubt it does count : )
