A typical warforged is between two and thirty years old. The maximum lifespan of the warforged 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. But some have absorbed the morality – or lack thereof – of the beings with which they served.

• 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.
• 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 shell and the shape of your body, you are ill-suited to wearing armor. Your shell provides ample protection, however; it gives you a base AC of 18 (your Dexterity modifier doesn't affect this number). You gain no benefit from wearing additional armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield's bonus as normal. However, your shell can be removed or replaced. If you choose to replace it, you must have it specially fit, and it costs twice as much as full plate. If it is enchanted it cost twice as much as the enchanted version of full plate. While you live, your shell can't be removed from your body against your will.

You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.

Your Constitution score increases by 2, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.
