Arcane Forger (5e Race)
|
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: How is this a race? There is almost no fluff that fleshes them out in the world, explains their history or society as required. Their traits also don't really do a good job explaining them, as they seem to just be any random creature "born with the power of the forge", which makes them sound more like a sorcerous origin.

|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Hands of the Forge is extremely vague. There is no limit to the amount of metal you can change, and so that would be broken if you could just destroy an entire metal ship in half an hour. Literally two traits also allow this race to make free magic weapons, which is definitely overpowered for a class and verges into artificer class territory.
