My party should be running into an enclave of Warforged as soon as the game gets underway (next week I hope), and most likely winding up with one as an NPC guide. I'll let you know how it works out. Again, good job. - [[User:Spanambula|Spanambula]] ([[User talk:Spanambula|talk]]) 08:40, 15 March 2017 (MDT)
== Juggernaut tweaks ==
Thinking it over, I feel like the AC of 14 + Proficiency is just a hair too much. That gives you AC 20 at 17th level, up to AC 23 if you get a +3 enhancement to plating, which is 2 higher than you'd get with +3 plate. On the other hand, it starts you off with AC 16, which is what a fighter with chainmail has, so that's relatively in line with the normal power curve. Still, I might switch it to 13 + Prof, and start out a bit weaker but finish up a bit stronger. idk.
The other criticism is that the minimum healing feels too harsh of a penalty, and I don't get the rationale as to why juggernauts are more difficult to magically repair than scouts or tacticians. It would also apply to class abilities such as the Fighter's Second Wind, but wouldn't apply at all to class abilities like the Paladin's Lay on Hands or the Monk's Wholeness of Body, so it feels really unevenly applied. I'd leave the healing at 1/2, and give them some other drawback instead, like a 25-foot move speed due to size and weight, or standing from prone taking all your movement instead of the usual 1/2.
Lastly, always-on DR equal to your proficiency bonus to all melee damage feels too powerful. I'd change it to something more like:
"'''Solid Construction:''' A Juggernaut's heavy armor protects it from stray blows, but can be overwhelmed by repeated, focused attacks. At the start of its turn a Juggernaut receives temporary hit points equal to its proficiency score."
That gives you some damage reduction every turn, but not against everything for every attack.
That's all I got, let me know what you think. - [[User:Spanambula|Spanambula]] ([[User talk:Spanambula|talk]]) 09:43, 15 March 2017 (MDT)
