Item talk:Legendary Dreadcursed Defender
This item is fairly unique in that it is only usable by a Homunculus (aka Iron Defender). And the race property is set correctly to Iron Defender. But that is apparently not one of the options for that field, and so instead of displaying "Race Absolutely Required = Iron Defender" what is displayed is "Race Absolutely Excluded = Warforged." Which is accurate for the case of Warforged (and Bladeforged), but still not entirely accurate. Ideally what would be displayed would be "Race Absolutely Required = Iron Defender" or "Race Absolutely Required = Homunculus"
Here is the code used:
|race = Iron Defender
This property is shared with the slightly less restrictive I:Legendary Kindred Spirit, which can be worn by a Homunculus or a Wolf Companion. That item also shows the property "Race Absolutely Excluded = Warforged," and which uses the code:
|race = Wolf, Iron Defender
Well, I should say used that code, because I changed it to:
|race = Pet
Based on the code used in pet only Collars. But apparently the weapon template includes the 'pet' type while the armor template does not, so the page display remained the same.
Long story short-ish, the armor template probably needs to add at least two new values to the race field: 'pet' and 'homunculus' (or 'iron defender'). And as a possible future-proofing, perhaps 'wolf' as well.
