Humanoid Face Graft (3.5e Equipment)

Summary::Facial expressions and sensory organs allow the construct to interact better with the world.

Humans have been known to augment themselves with artifical parts, both organic and inorganic, to achieve some enhanced effect on their bodies. Some warforged, upon seeing this practice, realized it could work in reverse. Thus did they become "cyborgs" of a different sort, applying flesh over metal and wooden parts to make a functioning whole. This was a blessing for warforged who wished to become more like living creatures, both those who became ReforgedRoE and those without the dedication to such class would occationally dabble in humanoid grafts. It was especially useful for female-minded warforged, who often were placed in male-oriented body frames and creating dissonance of body and mind. However, while they certainly gain more human traits some humanoids distrust the augmented even more than normal warforged, perhaps bordering too close to the uncanny valley, humanoid but not quite human.

The humanoid face graft's name is somewhat disingenuous, as it is not an actual face transplant, but rather growing a series of muscles and skin in the head area, allowing for expressions and the growth of and actual nose and hair. Warforged, whose sense of smell is stunted by an utter lack of nose, are glad to experience this wondrous new sensation, as well as the confidence of knowing that their appearances do not disturb others. This grants them a +2 racial bonus on charisma, canceling out their usual charisma penalty. They also gain a +1 racial bonus on craft alchemy and survival checks thanks to their expanded sense of smell. For each humanoid graft which they possess they gain a +1 racial bonus on disguise checks made to appear as a humanoid creature.

Humanoid Grafts function only when applied to constructs; applied to any other creature and they rot away over the course of 2d4 days. During construction, spells are employed to bond the flesh to metal, but once applied it is forever a mundane part of the construct.
