Warforged Components (3.5e Equipment)
From D&D Wiki
The warforged are living constructs, creations of magic not entirely dissimilar to magic items themselves. A warforged character can incorporate special magic items—from weapons and armor, modifications to rings and rods—called components, into its own partially living, partially constructed form. While theoretically any item can be crafted for this purpose, certain objects are specifically designed for use by warforged characters. A bonded item can either be embedded into the body of a warforged or attached to a limb.
EMBEDDING OR ATTACHING A WARFORGED COMPONENT Any character capable of creating a magic item can make the same magic item as a warforged component, and any warforged character capable of using a magic item can use the same item as a warforged component. Warforged components use the special rules given below, and otherwise conform to the normal rules for creating and using magic items.
A warforged component usually occupies the same space on the body that a magic item of the same kind normally would. Components that do not occupy any space on the body cost twice what they would cost as ordinary magic items. These components only work when bonded to the body of a warforged; they are not usable by members of any other race. There is no chance of damaging an embedded warforged component when the warforged rolls a 1 on a saving throw, and an embedded component cannot be targeted by an attack independently of the warforged who bears it. Attached components, however, can be damaged and targeted. If a warforged component requires activation, the character with the component can activate it with a thought. Doing this requires the same kind of action as for an ordinary magic item (usually a standard action), but the warforged can do it silently and without moving, and never provokes an attack of opportunity to activate a component. Attaching or detaching a warforged component is a standard action that never provokes an attack of opportunity. If a warforged character has at least 1 hit point, embedded or attached components cannot be removed unless the warforged wants them to be. A disabled warforged (–1 to –9 hp) has no choice in the matter; embedded or attached components can be removed from a disabled warforged. If a warforged is destroyed (–10 hit points), each component gets an appropriate saving throw to remain intact; intact components can be salvaged. MODIFICATION COMPONENT FEATS These can be obtained in one of three ways. Either the warforged can purchase them, craft them or the warforged may take a feat to obtain them. Either way the perquisite must be fulfilled before they can be used. Finger Picks Price: 500 gp Body Slot: Hands (embedded) Activation: — Weight: — Prerequisites: Dex 13 With a faint click, a series of slender wires, probes, and picks slide from the tips of your fingers. These delicate, intricate tools function as masterwork thieves’ tools that grant an additional +2 bonus on Disable Device and Open Lock checks, for a total bonus of +4. Faint transmutation; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item; knock; 250 gp
Armblade Price: 4,600 gp Body Slot: Hands (attached) Activation: — Weight: 8 lbs. Prerequisites: BAB +3, Exotic Weapon Proficiency This large metal cylinder with a heavy, serrated sword blade at one end attaches to a warforged. It fits over the hand and forearm.
An armblade is a +1 bastard sword, and requires the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (bastard sword) feat to use it properly. While the weapon is attached, the warforged cannot be disarmed, but the warforged also cannot use that hand for other tasks without removing the arm blade.
In addition, the wielder gains a +2 bonus on opposed attack rolls made to disarm an opponent. If the wielder uses a ready action to set an armblade against a charge, he deals double damage on a successful hit against a charging character. Faint transmutation; CL 5th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, heroism; Price 2,300 gp
Battlefist Price: 5,200 gp Body Slot: Hands (attached) Activation: — Weight: 6 lbs. Prerequisites: BAB +1, STR 13 This +1 weapon resembles a massively oversized spiked gauntlet; one designed for a Medium warforged looks like a gauntlet designed for an ogre. It attaches to the arm of a warforged, completely covering the hand. This component only operates when attached and locked in place.
A battlefist increases the damage dealt by the character’s natural slam attack to 1d8 points of bludgeoning and piercing damage (assuming a Medium character). Versions with higher enhancement bonuses are not uncommon.
A warforged monk who uses a battlefist deals increased unarmed damage as though the character were one size larger than actual, and he can add the battle fist’s enhancement bonus to his unarmed attack and damage rolls. Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, bull’s strength; 2,600 gp
Vanguard Treads Price: 3,100 gp Body Slot: see text Activation: see text Weight: 2 lb. Prerequisites:- These massive boots have spiked, treaded soles and look large enough to fit a heavily armored ogre. A row of inset amethysts runs around the top cuff.
A common warforged component, vanguard treads provide speed and stability to a warforged fighting amid the rubble and carnage of the battlefield.
Vanguard treads appear to be oversize metal boots with spiked, treaded soles. Their most impressive feature is their sheer size—they look big enough to fit a heavily armored ogre. Along the top cuff is a row of inset amethysts that seem to glow a bright purple whenever the wearer runs, charges, or resists a bull rush.
Activation: A set of vanguard treads occupies space on the body as a pair of boots, providing its benefits automatically as long as it’s embedded. Embedding or detaching a pair of vanguard treads is a standard action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity.
Effect: Your vanguard treads provide you with superior traction and stability, which has the following game effects:
• You can move through difficult terrain (such as rubble, undergrowth, steep slopes, stairs, or snow) at your normal speed and without suffering any other impairment.
• You are likewise unaffected by slippery ice, wet stones, or other areas where traction is a problem.
• You gain a +8 bonus on attempts to resist bull rushes, and a +4 bonus on grapple checks to resist a grapple attempt if that grapple would move you into another square.
Areas that have been magically manipulated to impede movement (such as an entangle spell) still affect you, as does water, quicksand, and other nonsolid surfaces. You likewise have to slow down for narrow paths requiring Balance checks and for surfaces steep enough to require Climb checks.
If the terrain deals damage (such as the burning ground on the plane of Fernia), you still take that damage. The massive spikes and treads on the soles of your feet leave a distinctive trail. Anyone following you gains a +8 circumstance check on the Survival or Search checks made to track you.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, spider climb; 1,550 gp.
Traction Claws (attached component) Price: 8,000 gp Body Slot: see text Activation: — Weight: 10 lbs Prerequisites: - This magic item consists of a set of large metal crampons and cumbersome clawed gauntlets, all four of which must be worn to function. The items occupy space on the body as a pair of gloves and a pair of boots, but when a warforged attaches them, they fuse with his armor and retract until needed. A warforged wearing these magic items gains a +5 competence bonus on Climb checks to climb a surface (but not to climb a rope) and a +5 competence bonus on Balance checks on slippery surfaces (such as ice or an area coated by a grease spell).
Faint transmutation; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, bull’s strength, cat’s grace; 4,000 gp

Friendly troops within 360 feet of the user become braver than normal, gaining a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws against fear. Since the effect arises in great part from wearer, it does not function if the wearer hides or conceals himself in any way.
A warforged wearing a command circlet can telepathically speak to any allies within 100 feet as a free action (though the circlet does not grant the ability to hear mental replies). The wearer must be able to see the allies that he wishes to speak to; if multiple allies are in range, the wearer may speak to them all at the same time or deliver different messages to individuals or groups as time allows. In addition, once per day, the circlet can be used to cast remove fear upon up to ten allies within 30 feet of the wearer (including the wearer, if desired).

Developed for spellcasting warforged, somatic cables can be used to execute the somatic component of any spell. This effect allows a warforged to cast spells even with both hands occupied, when its hands are immobilized, or even when grappled (though this still requires a Concentration check).
A warforged who suffers from a spell failure chance due to armor can roll twice, taking the better of the two results.

A monocle of the ebon hunter is a coin-sized lens of smoky crystal, set in a wire frame that attaches to your head near the temple.
When you have a ranged weapon in your hands and are in shadowy illumination or darkness, the wire frame around the monocle glows faintly red-orange, like embers in a campfire. Peering through the monocle, you see auras surrounding your foes within 60 feet. Bright sparks on the periphery of the aura indicate weak points in your enemies’ defenses; you’re more likely to strike a telling blow if you can hit those points.
Prerequisite: A monocle of the ebon hunter is an embedded warforged component, so it functions only for warforged characters.
Activation: A monocle of the ebon hunter occupies space on the body as a set of lenses or goggles, providing its benefits automatically as long as it’s embedded. Embedding or detaching a monocle is a standard action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. You can wear only one monocle at a time.
Effect: Monocles of the ebon hunter come in two varieties. A lesser monocle grants a +2 competence bonus on ranged attacks made against targets within 60 feet. A greater monocle grants a +4 competence bonus on ranged attacks on targets within 60 feet, and a +2 competence bonus on damage rolls if those ranged attacks hit.
Both versions of the monocle of the ebon hunter grant darkvision out to 60 feet.

Originally created for use by warforged reconnaissance troops, the tracker mask grants its wearer the scent ability. However, many warforged covet this item because it gives them the ability to smell all scents, not merely those of a creature being tracked. Gain a +2 to Survival when tracking.
The mask occupies space on the body as goggles and fuses with the wearer’s face when donned, forming a nose ridge with the slatted vents on either side.

It attaches to the arm of a warforged, completely covering the hand. This component only operates when attached and locked in place.
An armbow magically loads and fires with a thought, as a standard action. The weapon automatically creates bolts to keep its ammunition case filled. The case holds 5 bolts at a time; whenever one bolt is fired, another one is magically created. It can create 20 bolts per day. Thereafter, the warforged can use his own life energy to create additional bolts, at a cost of 1 hit point per bolt. At any time, the warforged can expend 3 hit points to create a bolt that is aligned as if he had cast align weapon on it. Creating a bolt is a free action. Bolts vanish if they are removed from the armbow without being shot. Hit points used to create a bolt are treated just as if the character took damage; they can be healed or repaired normally.
An armbow cannot use normal bolts (either magical or mundane); it is designed to create and fire its own magical bolts.

Docent Components
(Embedded Component)
[Warforged] Price: Body Slot: Activation: — Weight: Prerequisite: These are artifacts discovered in the wilds of Xen’drick, they are small metal spheres(2”), embedded with dragonshards and gems. Artificers and Warforged alike have so far failed in discovering why they work or how to make them. Despite radiating strong magic, the docents have no identifiable magic abilities until they are embedded in a warforged. At that point they ‘come to life’, literally. A docent is an intelligent magic item designed to advise and help living constructs. They can be any alignment but all share these statistics:
Int of 2d6+8 (min12) and wisdom and charisma scores of 2d6+6 (min10). It perceives its surroundings through the warforged’s senses, but does not use the warforgred spot, search or listen skills. It can always communicate telepathically with the warforged it is attached to . The docent cannot speak but the warforged can give control of his vocal ability to the docent. One of the primary uses of the docent is to act as a translator for its warforged. All docents speak giant and common. A docent can understand an additional two languages for each point of intelligence modifierthat it possesses. When a docent is found, it most likely will not have all of these slots filled. Docents in Xen’drick will most likely have draconic and elvish, the docents learn new languages almost as soon as they are introduced to them. Each docent has 1d4 powers from the following list:
Deathwatch continuously active +2700gp
Detect magic at will +3600gp
10 ranks in decipher script +5000gp
10 ranks in diplomacy +5000gp
10 ranks in knowledge (choose category) +5000gp
10 ranks in listen +5000gp
10 ranks in search +5000gp
10 ranks in sense motive +5000gp
10 ranks in spellcraft +5000gp
10 ranks in spot +5000gp
Haste the owner 1x/day +5000gp
Zone of Truth 3x/day +6500gp
Detect opposing alignment at will +7200gp
Detect undead at will +7200gp
Continuous Detect scrying +10000gp
Status, usable at will +11000gp
The docent activates and controls all of its own abilities, not the warforged. The diplomacy skill can only be used if the warforged allows the docent to speak through him. A docent has a base value of 2500gp. The ego score of the docent is determined oin the normal way. A warforged may remove the docent at will and replace it with another if he so chooses, however, the new docent will not activate until 24 hours have passed since it was attached. A warforged can only attach one docent at a time.
Khaydarin Core
Embedded Component)
[Warforged] Price: Body Slot: Activation: — Weight: Prerequisite: This was discovered deep in the wilds of Xen’drik, it is thought to be a unique item. While its powers were demonstrated by a warforged named Shear, he was lost in a battle with un unknown beast and neither he nor the Core have ever been seen again. The Dragonshard Core consists of 3 dragonshards, 6” long. Each of the 3 types (Siberys, Eberron and Khyber) are represneted here. Each shard is stuck in a diamond the size of a thumb and the whole thing is held together by a ring od adamantine. When placed upon the chest, it embeds and sinks into the body. The core has three sets of abilities, each relating to a different shard, the warforged can decide which set to use once per day as a standard action. Here are the powers associated with each shard:
Siberys: Sense the presence of any dragonmarked creature within 100’ and know their exact location. With a DC15 wisdom check, he can determine the relative strength of the dragonmark detected. In addition, he can create an antimagic field that extends out 100’ and can be manifested at will.
Eberron: Warforged gains Spell Resistance 25, Healing spells work to their full effect, Repair spells heal double.
Khyber: Any spell with an elemental descriptor subject to spell resistance fails against the warforged unless he wishes it. Additionally, he gains immunity to fire and cold, a fly speed of 30’ (Perfect maneuverability) and a burrow speed of 30’.
Scholars believe there are even greater powers in the Dragonshard Core but have no evidence to back it up.
