So I had an idea of re fluffing the Warforged race as a Frankenstein's monster. What from 3.5 or pathfinder do you guys think will help "flesh out" this character concept?

The media likes to think FM has electrical/undeath powers. So maybe Shocking Fist and some Fast Healing. A lot of it comes back to the portrayal of the monster.

But minor question, WF instead of Incarnate/Awakened Flesh Golem?

Not gonna lie, its mostly cause I think I can pull the concept off with  a re fluffed warforged and avoid the LA.

Yeah estimating their LA can be a pain.

Well I really think you should give some more details of what you want. FM is pretty much just a guy afraid of fire with an above average strength score. You kind of have to shape that general blob into something. Like iFrankenstein turned him into a dual-club welding vampire-slayer.

Like let's go into the fluff of reanimation. Eberron's lore is basically crazy wizard created the process and outer-planer beings try to inhabit them. Do you want to keep FM's lightning-based machine element over that? Maybe more classical fantasy like reanimated through demonic ritual?

Leadership with a little girl for a cohort? Or a middle-aged artificer?

Trophy Hunter and kill some Humans?

Willing Deformity tall?

I agree, this is weird mostly because the monster just walks around. Frightful Presence?
I appreciate the logical, cool-headed responses and the lack of profanity displayed by our community.
