===Warforged Variants=== {{NeedsImages}} As versatile as the warforged are, House Cannith wasn't content to simply run with them. No, they played around with the process, and managed to produce a number of different Warforged variants. '''Warforged Titans''' are much closer to the traditional [[golem]]; not entirely brainless, but nowhere near as smart as a true warforged. They make up for it by being ''really'' big (Huge sized). They typically possess a giant crushing hammer for one hand and a scything mega-axe for the other hand, although individual models may swap this out, such as replacing one hand with a siege staff (magical cannon). They are basically the [[Eberron]] version of tanks, with hollow interiors that let them carry troops into battle, as well as platforms that troops can use to fire ranged weapons, artillery, or spells from. '''Warforged Colossi''' (singular: '''Colossus''') are the '''really''' big brothers. They're basically [[magitek]] [[titan]]s, being Gargantuan-sized versions of the Titans with magitek cannons, a freaking death ray for a head, and a really pissed off attitude. They were intended to be House Cannith's ultimate weapon, able to singlehandedly crush armies, but roughly the same day that they took to the battlefield, the Mourning happened, and so they are largely either destroyed, inoperable, or just impossible to recover. '''Warforged Scouts''' go in the opposite direction. A fully sapient branch of the warforged family tree, Scouts are miniature warforged designed to be about the size of [[halfling]]s. Why? Well, it's all in the name; they were meant to be used to sneak around the battle field to chart the terrain, spy on the enemy, launch assassination missions... aside from the whole "20ft base speed" thing, they're actually pretty good at it. As a "true" warforged variant, they're actually playable in 3e. They showed up in the [[Monster Manual 3]]. '''Warforged Chargers''' are the missing link between the Titans and the Soldiers; smaller and smarter than Titans, but still big, dumb bruisers compared to the standard warforged. They basically look like a warforged gorilla, with stumpy legs and overly long arms that let them hunker down on all fours and sprint across the battlefield at an improved pace. Combined with beefed up armor and the strength to literally rip squishy humans limb from limb with their bare metallic hands, Chargers are basically all the best parts of a [[golem]] and a battle-trained killer gorilla. Like the scout, they appeared in the [[Monster Manual]] 3 and are technically a playable race, although they have to deal with [[Level Adjustment]]. '''Psiforged''' are the most recently emerged warforged strain, and represent an experimental line that was just reaching production when [[Mournland|The Mourning]] happened. As a result, they are the rarest of the warforged variants. As their name suggests, they are warforged created with a particular affinity for [[psionics]], and can easily be visually distinguished from the standard Soldier model by the psi-channeling crystals that sprout, tumor-like, from their bodies. They appeared as a playable race in Magic of Eberron.
