Warforged/Bladeforged armor feats

From memory SSG devs actually seem to like the idea but are restricted from doing it because it means having to redo every path for warforged/bladeforged and there are so many permutations that it'd take a lot of resources...
Though honestly with Warforged being an unlocked race maybe they could just stand to not have paths for a while at the cost of actually improving the race? Paths aren't exactly a beloved part of the game.

I don't much care about making them free as much as I want them to be good feats. You sacrifice a feat for the WF traits seems fair, BUT the armors you get on your character should be scaling with level in terms of MDB. An end game heavy armor allows MDB +6 but the Adamantine Body is always MDB +1. 5% dodge difference IS big (also +5AC for the builds that it matters).

If anything, armor that is part of you ought to be MORE flexible than armor that you wear. AC, I could see an argument either way.

Its well past time that warforged/bladeforged get their Armor proficiency more fairly and that it should be equitable with actual armor. But I don't see the devs spending time or resources on it until we are either getting a new warforged subrace like Scout or a Warforged/Construct-PC Universal tree or possibly some Self-forged archetype. Anything that might coincide with the work being done and potential profit. There's maybe a slim chance with Lamordia and its focus on golems but I wouldn't hold my breath. More likely you might have to wait until a new Eberron expansion, possibly having to do with Lord of Blades, the Mournland or House Cannith. If any of it ever comes to pass.
