At 8th level, a spiderbite shifter gains tremorsense over 60 ft, and any creature struck by his bite takes a secondary effect from the poison 10 rounds later, causing unconsciousness for 1 hour unless the victim makes a Fortitude save (same DC). | :'''Spiderbite''': A spiderbite shifter gets +2 Constitution, and gains a primary bite attack (1d4 + Strength for a Medium character).

|'''Primary Features:'''||<u>Composite Plating:</u> Warforged are built with inherent armor on their body, granting them a +3 armor bonus to AC. This armor is treated as light armor, and does not interfere with the warforged's movement; thus this armor has no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure chance. Warforged cannot wear other armors or robes in the body slot, but they can improve their composite plating with racial feats or by enchanting it like manufactured armor.<br><u>Fortification:</u> Because of their construction, warforged are resilient to critical hits, gaining a 25% chance of negating the additional damage of any critical hit or sneak attack. At 10th level, this ability improves to 50%, and at 20th level it improves further to 75%. | |'''Primary Features:'''||<u>Composite Plating:</u> Warforged are built with inherent armor on their body, granting them a +3 armor bonus to AC.

After using this ability, it takes 5 minutes of refilling its camouflage reserves before a warforged scout can use it again.<br><u>Metallic Intuition:</u> Being composed of metal, warforged scouts have a special affinity towards certain crafts, gaining a +2 bonus to all Craft checks related to metalworking (such as weaponsmithing and armorsmithing). This bonus improves to +3 at 4th level, +4 at 8th level, +5 at 12th level, +6 at 16th level, and +7 at 20th level. | |'''Secondary Features:'''||<u>Camouflage:</u> Warforged scouts have the ability to cover themselves in camouflage for a short period of time.
