Artist's Comments

M.E. (emmy) is a warforged cleric. Built by an eccentric designer, she has very human features.

An idea, stolen from CLAMP, she was found deactivated in a pile of rubble. One of the other characters dusted her off and found a brass nameplate with the letters M.E. on her. He read aloud the word "me" and suddenly she awoke.

Unfortunately, for the first several months, she could only say the word "me". Drove the DM and other players nuts ^_^. I enjoyed it immensely. Now she talks normally.

Warforged do not sleep, M.E. works at the local temples and occasionally earns a little cash as a domestic servant or waitress.

This piece reminds me of an old character idea I once had: Warforged OS-tan that is also a Maid/Schoolgirl.

Funny line of convergent thinking, no?

It's kind of amusing injecting anime culture into D&D. Sometimes it wierds people out. ^_^

Woots
besides I don't really like warforged and anime, I like this one, nice style and coloring, but I think that a place with hammer-wielding waitress is a bit unfriendly :P
:iconkriegsaffeno9:
Neat! It calls to mind Gary Gygax's legendary fighter maid. Also, holy cow did you roll well. Or was there point-buy involved? Custom warforged build due to a custom origin? Pre-assigned stats? The mind boggles.

True, the shield might block the occasional sword blow. However... “If I were to pick up this cowering-plate, I would have to put down my second sword,” a Scotsman thinks. “And surely that is madness.” -- Team Fortress 2

There was a very generous random system employed, so yes, the stats are unusually good. Granted, it was in the context of other characters with strong stats, so there you go.

In effect, it was very helpful because warforged make less than ideal clerics. The penalized stats (wis and cha) really make it tough on clerics because they need those stats for stuff. Of course, that's nothing compared to trying to make a warforged sorcerer...

She is a homage to several anime characters, through her first two months of games, she was only able to say one word...drove everyone nuts. Fun for me, though ^_^

I got the animuu references. And yes, I've had a fun time when the DM let us roll 5d6 and drop the low two. I've gotten multiple 18s on one character, basically free reign to play whatever.

Making a character against type is a helluva temptation. See also: the half-orc paladin or bard.

Argh, warforged don't look like that. They all have the same body same almost, no warforged are craft witha female body for they have no gender. They adopt a male or female personality but thats it. No matter what, a warforge would never look like that.
:iconcattoy-bn:
they're constructs, so they look exactly like what their designers want them to.

If some eccentric designer wanted a bodyguard that could, with a wig and some cosmetics look superficially like some of the household staff yet was not susceptible to poison, disease, fatigue yadda yadda, didn't detect as magic and was capable of defending his household, this is one way of fulfilling that need.

It's like saying that there would never be a stretch limo hummer.
