So... why is it easy to imagine any given setting has a race of spider worshipping matriarchal elves in blackface with darkness powers, hand crossbows and spiked chains who live underground but the concept of an ancient society building a living construct and finding one semi-functional then repairing it is insane and "assumes too much"?

Because said DM is a fag. You should slash his tired to prove a point.

Christian Jones
because the setting probably has elves already and evil elves who live in caves is not a stretch, while you're asking him to invent a superadvanced ancient civilization who built magic sentient robots with artifical souls, maybe it's just not something that fits his vision of the world.
maybe you should be having this discussion with your DM and not us because it's really his call.
Ethan Bailey
Why don't you ask him that instead of attention whoring on Veeky Forums?
Sebastian Allen
This And of course this >also Warforged are gaf
Michael Baker
Because he's a fucking faggot who should kill himself immediately.
Elijah Perry
Because it demands more conditions to be met. There's a reason why robots weren't a thing until 20th century.

FINALLY, I have a simple answer for why I allow any mammal but not reptiles or others playable in my Ironclaw games!

Just refluff warforged into a unique/semi-unique golem created by a mad wizard, or dug out from some anncient ruins. Maybe connect him to the main plot somehow (if you're unearthing an ancient civ, it's easy) down the line.
Have all peasants think he is a dude in weird armor or a horrible abomination to be afraid of. Every craftsman or wizard worth their salt will want to capture him and see how he ticks, instant minor villains.
