Here my question:Can I neglect the aberrant property (like WotC does with living construct) or should I count it as a power of that race. I don't feel lihm...I agree, this is why I wouldn't enforce these penalties on a player choosing such a race.In past campaigns I worked around the small size weapon drawback by simply adding a few more weapon choices that mitigated this a little bit.

Check a more current source. These are all three separate features, all of which are on the warforged.

By all rights, most campaigns that are not set firmly smack dab in the center of water won't use the feature at all save for maybe once or twice. Go ahead and give em aquatic keyword and be done with it.http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29737581/Aberrant_Origin_for_players?post_id=528473865#528473865Water breathing is a rarity, but not powerful.

I think you can have that origin for free. Aquatic, might want to be considered a racial featurehttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29737581/Aberrant_Origin_for_players?post_id=528462401#528462401I don't think you need to worry about define the race as aberrant.
