{"name":"The Forged","overview":"The Forged are an enigmatic race of sentient constructs that hail from the once-abandoned dwarven mining settlement of Dawnweld in the Jagged Crest Mountains of Tir Volen. Originally designed as simple mining automatons by the dwarves, these machines were left behind when mysterious forces drove the original settlers away. After an unknown event, the Forged awoke, gaining not only sentience but also a desire to make their own place in the world.\r\n[br]\r\n\r\nThough they were built for the rigors of mining and labor, the Forged are far from simple machines. They are highly intelligent, adaptive, and capable of fine craftsmanship, particularly when it comes to mechanical engineering. Their bodies, made of metal and stone, are sturdy and designed for both strength and precision. They have developed their own culture and society, calling themselves the Forged to reflect their transformation from tools of labor to living beings.\r\n[br]\r\n\r\nForged come in many different forms, but all share a similar origin as beings created to endure the harsh conditions of mining deep underground. Over time, they have built upon their designs, adding new components and incorporating aspects of their environment into their bodies.\r\n[br]\r\n\r\nThe Forged are a race of contrasts: while they were once machines designed for a purpose, they now explore their own identity as sentient beings. They are pragmatic, often viewing the world in logical and practical terms, but this doesn\u2019t mean they lack personality or emotions. Each Forged has a different relationship with their past\u2014some may embrace their history as mining constructs, while others may wish to forge a completely new path. As adventurers, they bring a combination of mechanical precision, strength, and adaptability to any party.\r\n[br]","image_id":"5888432","ability_score_increase":"Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Intelligence score increases by 1.","age":"The Forged do not age in the traditional sense. They are created as fully functional beings and can theoretically live indefinitely, though their mechanical parts may need repair or replacement over time.","alignment":"The Forged tend toward lawful alignments, as they were originally created to follow orders and maintain structure. However, their sentience grants them free will, and some Forged embrace independence or even rebellion against their original purpose.","size":"Medium","speed":"Your base walking speed is 30 feet.","languages":"Avant\u00e9 Common, Dwarvish","parent_race":"","sub_races":"","race_features":"[b]Constructed Resilience\r\n[br][\/b]\r\nYou were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits:\r\n[br]\r\n\r\nYou have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.\r\n[br]\r\nYou don\u2019t need to eat, drink, or breathe.\r\n[br]\r\nYou are immune to disease.\r\n[br]\r\nYou don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.\r\n[br]\r\n\r\n[b]Sentry's Rest[\/b]\r\n[br]\r\nWhen you take a long rest, you must spend at least 6 hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping.
