(1 = barbarian, rogue, sorcerer, wilder) (2 = bard, cavalier, fighter, paladin, psychic warrior, ranger)
(3 = artificer, cleric, druid, investigator, monk, psion, soulknife, wizard)
The first warforged were created only 33 three years ago,
so no warforged character can begin at an age older than that.
Most warforged didn't start exploring class options like cleric,
monk, or wizard until very recently, so such characters are likely
to be younger than warforged fighters or rogues. Of course,
as 1st-lvl characters, warforged of any class are probably recent
creations (war could even have ended before they got deployed).

Choose your character’s height and weight from the ranges given above.
Or you can roll randomly for your character’s height and weight, using the same chart above.
To randomly determine a character’s height: Roll the ''modifier'' dice given for the character's race, and add the result (in inches) to the listed base height. To randomly determine a character’s weight: Multiply the dice result by the multiplier given for that race, and add the result to the base weight listed for the character.
