''The air is tinted black with strands of thick smoke as light glints off the polished, perfect, stainless metal of the thing that stands there, smouldering like a furnace, towering over the rest of the world, with a body of cool, perfectly worked metal, and blindingly advanced mechanizations, cogs, gears, sprokets, and intricate wiring. It turns its head, the pristinely forged metal plates not making a sound as they slide across each other, and looks at the world around it, it's smooth, powerful jaw shut tight, and it's eye's glowing like fire.''

An avatar of industry is the avatar of the artifice of the world, of the cities that are erected through the years, with sweat and blood, of the tools that have been used since the beginning of time, of the presice clockwork wonders of the world, and of the striving for perfection. Why, or how, an avatar of industry comes into being, is beyond the understanding of most everything, but they tend to be glorious marvels when they do, stunning those who would see them with their complex workings, and creating great artifice everywhere they go.

=== Combat ===

Most of the time, creatures have nothing to worry about from an avatar of industry, as it is mostly concerned with the creation of artifice. Though, if one should try and damage some tool or mechanization before them, then the avatar will fly into a rage, and attmpet to destroy them. For such a case, an avatar of industry usually keeps [[SRD:Bear's Endurance|bear's endurance]], [[SRD:Bull's Strength|bull's strength]], [[SRD:Cat's Grace|cat's grace]], [[SRD:Greater Magic Fang|greater magic fang]], [[SRD:Freedom of Movement|freedom of movement]], and [[SRD:True Seeing|true seeing]] active on itself all the time, and, when heading into battle, will usually open with a [[SRD:Quicken Spell-Like Ability|quickened]] [[SRD:Hold Monster|hold monster]] (or a [[SRD:Time Stop|time stop]], followed by several uses of it's [[#Build|build]] ability, should it feel it necessary), before [[#Drive|driving]] itself onward into combat.

'''[[Avatar (3.5e Creature Subtype)|Avatar Traits]]:''' Good [[SRD:Saving Throw|fortitude]], [[SRD:Saving Throw|reflex]], and [[SRD:Saving Throw|will]] saves, has [[SRD:Constitution|constitution]] score, unlike usual [[SRD:Construct Type|constructs]] immune to [[SRD:Mind-Affecting Effect|mind-affecting]] effects.

'''{{Anchor|Build}} ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' An avatar of industry is a manifestation of construction and mechanization, and it's ability to make something out of nothing, which grants the avatar the ability to take a [[SRD:Full-Round Actions|full-round action]], and build a machine, from seemingly nothing. When the avatar takes this [[SRD:Full-Round Actions|full-round action]], then it designates any space adjacent to itself, and, creates in that space, any creature with the [[SRD:Construct|construct]] type, that has a CR equal to or less than 10 (or, one third of the avatars [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]). This can be any [[SRD:Construct|construct]], regardless of what materials the avatar has available at the time, as it can create the materials itself. There must be enough space available to build the specified [[SRD:Construct|construct]]. After the avatar builds this [[SRD:Construct|construct]], then it immediately takes it's actions, and, after this, moves and acts on the avatar's initiative count, each round. 

Of course, what is building something, without a little bit of creativity? The avatar can change or add things to any [[SRD:Construct|construct]] that he builds, modifying the base stats, and altering the creatures CR as follows, as long as the CR stays within the CR 10 limit:

{|cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="zebra d20"
|-
! Change
! CR Modifier
|- 
|Grant the [[SRD:Construct|construct]] the benefit of having levels in a [[SRD:Classes|PC class]]. ||+1 per level added 
|- 
|Increase the [[SRD:Construct|construct's]] size category by one, with all [[SRD:Improving Creatures#Size Increases|usual changes]]. ||+1 
|- 
|Add 4 [[SRD:Construct|construct]] [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. ||+1
|-
|Remove 4 [[SRD:Construct|construct]] [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. ||-1 
|- 
|}

'''{{Anchor|Drive}} ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Artifice has forever sought to create a truly perfect machine; one that would never lose energy, never slow down, that could sustain itself indefinitely: a perpetual motion device. Such perfection cannot be realistically reached by artificers, and has been their unattainable goal forever. An avatar of industry, however, ''is'' such a device, a perfection that cannot be reached, a truly infinite machine. An avatar of industry can go on forever, and will never tire, never slow down, as it pulls from literally infinite reserves of power. An avatar of industry, can, as a [[SRD:Free Action|free action]], drive itself onward by tapping into this infinite resourse, granting it a +6 bonus to it's [[SRD:Strength|strength]] and [[SRD:Dexterity|dexterity]] scores, and the ability to take a full rounds worth of attacks as a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]. An avatar can drive itself for up 10 rounds at a time, but, after it has finished doing so, it cannot begin driving itself again for another 10 minutes.

'''[[SRD:Construct Type|Construct]] Traits:''' Immune to [[SRD:Mind-Affecting Effect|mind-affecting]] effects (charms, compulsions, [[SRD:Phantasm Subschool|phantasms]], patterns, and morale effects), and to [[SRD:Poison|poison]], ''[[SRD:Sleep|sleep]],'' [[SRD:Paralysis|paralysis]], [[SRD:Stunned|stunning]], [[SRD:Disease|disease]], death effects, [[SRD:Necromancy School|necromantic effects]], and any effect that requires a [[SRD:Saving Throw|fortitude save]] unless it also works on objects. Cannot heal damage (though [[SRD:Regeneration|regeneration]] and [[SRD:Fast Healing|fast healing]] still apply, if present). Not subject to [[SRD:Critical Hit|critical hits]], [[SRD:Nonlethal Damage|nonlethal damage]], [[SRD:Ability Score Loss#Ability Damage|ability damage]], [[SRD:Ability Score Loss#Ability Drain|ability drain]], or [[Energy Drain, Negative Levels, and Level Loss (SRD Special Ability)#Energy Drain (Su)|Energy Drain]]. Not at risk of death from massive damage, but destroyed when reduced to 0 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] or less; cannot be raised or resurrected. 

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Atonement|Atonement]], [[SRD:Bear's Endurance|Bear's Endurance]], [[SRD:Bull's Strength|Bull's Strength]], [[SRD:Clairaudience/Clairvoyance|Clairaudience/Clairvoyance]], [[SRD:Cat's Grace|Cat's Grace]], [[SRD:Dimensional Anchor|Dimensional Anchor]], [[SRD:Dimension Door|Dimension Door]], [[SRD:Discern Location|Discern Location]], [[SRD:Displacement|Displacement]], [[SRD:Freedom of Movement|Freedom of Movement]], [[SRD:Greater Dispel Magic|Greater Dispel Magic]], [[SRD:Greater Invisibility|Greater Invisibility]], [[SRD:Greater Magic Fang|Greater Magic Fang]], [[SRD:Hold Monster|Hold Monster]]'' <small><sup>([[SRD:DC|DC]] 19)</sup></small>'', [[SRD:True Seeing|True Seeing]], [[SRD:Wall of Force|Wall of Force]], [[SRD:Waves of Exhaustion|Waves of Exhaustion]]''; 3/day—''[[SRD:Mage's Disjunction|Disjunction]], [[SRD:Quicken Spell-Like Ability|Quickened]] [[SRD:Dimension Door|Dimension Door]], [[SRD:Quicken Spell-Like Ability|Quickened]] [[SRD:Greater Invisibility|Greater Invisibility]], [[SRD:Quicken Spell-Like Ability|Quickened]] [[SRD:Hold Monster|Hold Monster]]'' <small><sup>([[SRD:DC|DC]] 19)</sup></small>'', [[SRD:Quicken Spell-Like Ability|Quickened]] [[SRD:Wall of Force|Wall of Force]]''; 1/day—''[[SRD:Time Stop|Time Stop]]''. [[SRD:Caster Level|Caster level]] 25th. The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''Telepathy:''' An avatar of industry has a unique form of telepathy, and can converse with even things that are not sentient, as long as they are within 100 feet of them, such as inanimate objects, or dead corpses on the ground. Of course, they converse with the corpse itself, and not the soul that may have at one time inhabited it. An avatar of industry, however, cannot actually communicate with living things, such as most things that have thought.
