Many different variants of the dragonforged line have been produced in the quest to make the ultimate soldier. The most common variants are as follows: willowforged, bruteforged, and knightforged, who are also called lancers. Choose one of these subraces. Since this warforged line is so new, there may be a way that you want to look that isn't presented here. You can always choose to look like one subrace, but still choose the features of another.

A typical warforged is between two and thirty years old. However the dragonforged line is much younger, averaging at around 6 to 8 months old. The maximum warforged lifespan remains a mystery; so far, warforged have shown no signs of deterioration due to age. You are immune to magical aging effects.

Most warforged take comfort in order and discipline, tending toward law and neutrality. In contrast, the dragonborn that this line takes its inspiration from tend to extremes, often making a conscious choice for one side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil. As a result, dragonforged are usually lawful in nature, but never neutral.

Your size is Medium. To set your height and weight randomly, start with rolling a size modifier:

Size modifier = 2d6

Height = 5 feet + 10 inches + your size modifier in inches

Weight in pounds = 270 + (4 × your size modifier)

Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

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

• You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You are immune to disease.
• You don’t need to sleep, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

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.

Due to your density, you sink quickly in water and similar liquids. You cannot gain a swimming speed.

Your body has dragon-like metal scales. You can use your reaction on your turn to activate your scales, causing them to extend like daggers. Until the start of your next turn you gain resistance to slashing damage.

You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic.

Since your body needs to maintain upkeep, you go through a process every time you rest in which you shed metal on the inside and it is collected inside your stomach. As a bonus action you can exhale these shards of metal in a 15 foot cone. When you use your shard projection, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a Dexterity saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 slashing damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one.

The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your shard projection, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
