Answers
What is Adama?
Adama is a Living Construct, also called a Warforged
Whats so special about a living construct?
It grants him several benefits as well as opens him upto numerous flaws a normal living creature wouldn't be worried by, and problems a construct shouldn't be effected by. Lucky him huh?
Is he anotomicaly correct?
Better question, Why the hell are you asking that? no!
Why is he a "he" anyway?
"He" wanted to be, plain and simple, coulda been a duck an went around beheading and quaking all day long. Would you be happier then?
Can Good spells effect him?
Yes. Beneficial magics that don't depend on the race of the one targeted like a blessing or a ward, or some such spell effects him just as it would a person. Healing spells are far less effective, the same buffs he has against negitive magic is against any magic that does not directly target a warforged. this includes spells working against "Living Creature" or "Construct"
Can he wear armor?
He IS armor, He can't wear anything over what he has as his body other then a cloak as thats just draped over him. and he wears one of those anyway.
Can he be disenchanted?
No, the buffs against magic are inherant. thats like ripping an elfs ears off. they're still in elf just in considerably more pain then they had been a moment ago.
Can he be dispelled?
Again no, his conciousness has the same concept as a living soul and thusly naturaly resists such things. while items he holds or has on him can be effected by the spell he himself is inherantly immune to such a thing.
Can he be killed?
Yes, He can reach a state that to most creatures is considered "Mortaly Wounded" or you know, beaten to shit. He will at this point goto "sleep" he will not continue to sustain damage unless directly attacked, nor will he naturaly regenerate health. it has to be bestowed upon him.
What about Necromancy effects?
Yep, they'll sting just as bad on him as a human. but the same rules apply to these as any spell that doesn't directly target a Warforged creation. the chance of it failing and the lessened effect of it still applies. but a Death effect will put him into an instant sleep reguardless if it does beat his magical defences.
What about illusions and charms?
Yes, he can be fooled by an illusion, and he can be swayed. but again while illusions will be full force upon beating his resistance, a charming effect will be lessened as it's a constent and requires emotions that many warforged simply do not posses and on some occasions this may cause the effect to pass entirely.
How is he effected by Elements? (Natural)
EARTH, WIND, FIRE, WATER, HEART! BY THESE POWERS COMBINED I AM CAPTAIN PLANET!
sorry about that. put it this way, unless it's hot enough to make metal to hot to touch, or cold enough to make wood brittle enough to snap and shatter...he'll be fine. and even then he's his cloak to thank for added protection from such things, even running through fire.
How is he effected by Elements? (Super Natural)
Now, going back to the point of his natural resistances to magics. should they get past this. fire can set his wood parts on fire, or super heat his metal body. while both are bad the wood is special and burns slowly, so it can be extinguished.
Can he be poisoned or diseased?
No, and Yes...sort of. See he's no blood or such so he can't exactly be poisoned like a normal person or at all, but he can in a sense be diseased, while it won't do anything to him directly he will thusly become a carrier. of course some protection is the fact the magic of him will "burn" it away given enough time unless he's properly cleaned or blessed.
What are some of his strongest points?
he is a god damn barracade smashing, sword armed death dealing tank the likes of which enjoys going rampage on your ass! He never tires, he never sleeps, eats, drinks, breaths, he never needs to stop he never needs to stop pursueing a enemy untill ordered otherwise. he is for all intense purposes....a war machine.
What are some of his biggest flaws?
He's made of metal and wood. while elements are a pain magic more attuned to messing with woods or metals directly fuck him up hard core. warpped wood can limit his mobility, it could become magicly rotted and break away turning an arm or part useless. Same thing for metal, heated cooled rusted away. these things HURT
picture something melting your flesh off in a slow manner while your muscles ooze our your pours and your bones twist into jagged things ripping through whatever is left....
Yeah...not fun is it?
What happens if all the wood in his body is destroyed?
He's fucked? the material would need to be fully replaced and THEN he would need to be repaired by either a forge, or by the magic made to repair him.
What happens if all the Metal in his body is removed?
Same effect as if the wood was removed, but twenty percent needs to remain intact (but not together an arm an a leg) and the rest could be filled in. and repaired thusly
When is he truely dead?
When to much of his body has been destroyed that repair and replacement is impossible.
Are the other members of his unit in play?
No, they are currently all NPC's on various tasks elsewhere.
Can anyone play one of the unit members?
Yes, but at the request of this player not to sound nit picky or some elitest shit I'd like anyone interested in playing a unit memeber to contact me thanks, just because each member has unique differences and weapon. Otherwise I'm open to people who'd like to play one
But A.T.M. I'm working to sort this guy out so to speak thanks =)
