this comment is asking about the
0:01
warforged races integrated protection
0:04
trait integrated protection lets a
0:07
warforged character integrate a
0:09
manufactured suit of armor with their
0:11
body the trait itself gives you a
0:13
permanent plus one bonus to AC and that
0:15
remains whether or not you're wearing
0:16
armor but in addition you can integrate
0:19
any armor that you're proficient with so
0:21
if you're proficient with heavy armor
0:22
you could put on full plate if you're
0:24
only proficient with light armor you
0:25
could put on leather armor whatever is
0:28
whatever your character is proficient in
0:30
putting armor on or taking it off takes
0:33
the war forge one hour and they can't
0:35
just wear armor normally like a human
0:37
would like you can't just put it on like
0:39
you're putting on a t-shirt straps and
0:41
whatever you have to physically
0:43
integrate it with your body because the
0:44
war forged is a unique race of creatures
0:47
their body is made of metal plates and
0:50
wood and senue and manufactured magical
0:53
gizmos and stuff like they're weird
0:55
anatomically they're a little bit weird
0:57
so putting armor on top of what is
1:00
already functionally armor is a little
1:02
bit different so from a lore perspective
1:05
I imagine it a bit like okay I'm going
1:07
to put on this suit of full plate i'm
1:09
going to put a helmet on top of my head
1:11
that is made of metal it's a little more
1:12
complicated than just I put on a hat you
1:15
need to like adjust the plates that make
1:17
up your body to fit with the new armor
1:20
you need to strap things together and
1:22
physically integrate everything together
1:23
so that you can comfortably move that
1:25
armor mechanically though it's basically
1:28
the same as wearing armor for any other
1:30
character so you still use your armor's
1:33
AC you add your plus one bonus for
1:36
integrated protection on top of whatever
1:38
that is and you can still use a shield
1:40
so uh a war forged in full plate has 19
1:44
AC it's 18 from the full plate plus one
1:47
from integrated protection and then you
1:49
can add a shield on top of that for a
1:50
total of 21 and then you can keep
1:52
stacking from there with spells magic
1:55
items whatever else you have available i
1:58
hope that helps let me know if you have
1:59
any more rules questions i'm always
