Warforged.. Artillery?
« on: January 21, 2009, 05:06:41 AM »
I've been toying around with the idea of a warforged with an artillery-like weapon attached, preferable operated by another party member. I havent really found anything that would emulate this though, any suggestions?

So what I'm looking for is a weapon too big to handle single-handed (perhaps some kind of ballista-weapon), but small enough to fit on a warforged. A spell, power or similar thing to emulate this could also work.

Any help would be great!

Sovereign-glue a ballista to a warforged with a high Str score?

If there's any way for the warforged to know psionic powers without being able to manifest them, a psion could use them by touching him.

Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.

He could be a psion and then have another psion fire his cannon power, while he shoots another. Or you could make a custom warforged component Staff/Wand slot.

The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Why not just use a Golem?  Better yet, design a new "artillery golem"!

Give him the half-dragon template and a metabreath feat, his breath weapon is an artillery gun with limited ammo.

When I read the subject of this post I immediately thought you wanted to us Warforged AS artillery.  Like, firing a Warforged character out of a cannon or catapult to assault the enemy behind it's fortifications.

That would be awesome.  Talk about splitting up the party!
