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

A typical warforged is between 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. Dragonforged, much like regular dragonborn, are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 7 feet tall and averaging a hefty 470 pounds.

Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

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

• 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.

Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor:

• You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
• You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor other than a shield, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way.
• While you live, the armor incorporated into your body can’t be removed against your will.
• Use your reaction on your turn to activate your scales, gain resistance to slashing damage until your next turn.

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.

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

Designed to be superior to the dragonborn you are modeled after, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 30 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

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