"They send Tanix for diversion. I am the surgical strike."
-- Servine IV, warforged scout

Not all warforged fit all purposes, and the smaller, more nimble warforged scouts were built for skirmish and stealth, to compliment the larger models' strength and stamina. Though either less common or less seen than the larger warforged, they are subject to Treaty of Thornhold, which granted warforged their freedom through most of Khorvaire.

• +2 Dexterity, -2 Strength, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma.
• Small size. +1 bonus to Armor Class, +1 bonus on attack rolls, +4 bonus on Hide Checks, -4 penalty on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits 3/4 those of Medium characters.
• A warforged scout's base land speed is 20 feet.
• Special Qualities (see Eberron Campaign Setting): composite plating, light fortification, living construct traits.
• Automatic Languages: Common. Bonus Languages: None.
• Favored Class: Rogue.

More information on the warforged scout can be found in the Monster Manual III.
