Now that the Warforged incorporate armor and gain benefits from it, can I target that armor with Heat Metal, and would it take an hour for the Warforged to doff that armor? It's still armor, yep.
Honestly the time to remove the armor doesn't really matter, normal armor takes longer to remove than heat metal lasts.

Anyone know if this still applies now that warforged no longer have integrated armor?
The spell description says: “Choose a manufactured metal object…”. Sine the warforged without armor is a creature and not an object it can’t be targeted with heat metal.
