When our campaign changed DMs. we were told we could rebuild our characters. The party had a warforged; my pixie firemage would occasionally flit around and look in his ear, ask "is your head hollow"? etc. The player decided to let his warforged die heroically; I considered rebuilding as a dragon sorceror by having my pixie get into the warforged head, refuse to come out, do a little handwaving with Raise Dead to animate the body, and then cast fire spells through the forged mouth.
