Dragonforged and Warforged questions

[vitkiraven]

In D20 3.5 I have a few questions. They are as follows:

Are warforged component items susceptible to antimagic aura?

Can embedded warforged components still take up a magic item slot?

Just to make sure, can embedded magic items be affected by antimagic aura?

If a warforged decides to pursue Bahamut, and become a dragonforged, do they lose the ability to use embedded components (as they are still living constructs, now with the dragonblooded type)?

Are any components that were embedded previously lost in the conversion, if they were embedded before the conversion, and not taken out?

Any ideas or thoughts?

Depends if they are magic or not, If i remember correctly there are a couple of nonmagical ones out there

Can embedded warforged components still take up a magic item slot?

yes

yes

There is some point of contention on this, I would imagine they still could as they are still technically warforged (and as such can also take those armor feats too) by RAW but I would check with your DM

Are any components that were embedded previously lost in the conversion, if they were embedded before the conversion, and not taken out?

Depends on the answer to the above, again ask your DM.

Becoming a dragonborn doesn't change your type and you still explicitly count as your original race.  A dragonborn warforged is a construct (living construct, dragonblooded), not a truly flesh-and-blood creature.  See the Mechanics of Rebirth sidebar in Races of the Dragon.  A warforged would retain their ability mods, and the traits of the living construct subtype (immunities, healing penalty, etc), but would lose all other features including their slam attack, composite plating (though you still retain the Body feat if you took one), light fortification, and so on.

Warforged components work exactly like normal items, magic or otherwise.  The only differences are that only warforged can use them and they're harder to equip and remove.

Okay, I thought that since embedded components could not be targetted, that they would be considered blocked for the purpose of the antimagic emanation, and while I was pretty sure that non-embedded components could be effected, that the fact that embedding components could block line of effect, that it would nix the AM aura.
Thank you

Embedded components don't have line of effect blocked, they just can't be independently targeted.  It's not dissimilar from individual body parts on creatures that don't have a specific exception for it, or the inability to sunder armor someone is wearing.
