=== Combat ===

Autonomous bulldozers do not engage in combat, but if they did they are simple, and effective, brutes.  Beyond high strength, they can bury, push, and pin opponents with ease.  The killdozer on the other hand is completely designed for combat, and has an actual weapons armament to back up its physical prowess.

'''Crew {{Ex}}:''' The autonomous bulldozer and killdozer both have room for a crew of one medium creature, if piloted manually.  Starting and running it requires a DC 10 [[Knowledge Xeno (3.5e Skill)|Knowledge Xeno]] or [[Pilot (3.5e Skill)|Pilot]] check.

'''Dragonbreath Shotgun {{Ex}}:''' Killdozers have an array of powerful guns and one large shotgun-like cannon.  It fires slugs made of magnesium in a thin coating, which upon the shock of firing breaks off and becomes an expanding cloud of fire.  It deals 16d6 magic bludgeoning and fire damage in a 30 ft cone, with a DC 19 [[Reflex]] save for half.  On a failed reflex save any creature who take damage from this effect starts [[Burning (3.5e Condition)|burning]], a creature can put itself out as a move action or if it come into contact with anything that quench fire (like a pool of water).  It also leaves an area of difficult terrain and embers: creatures take 1d6 points of fire damage moving through the area.  The area remains difficult terrain for 10 minutes.  With its hardness and treads, the killdozer has no danger from its own dragonbreath shotgun's aftereffects.

The dragonbreath shotgun can be fired once every 1d4 rounds.

'''Push {{Ex}}:''' The autonomous bulldozer and killdozer can start a bull rush as a free action as part of an attack.  In addition it has two other options it can use.

''Bury:'' If moving at least 10 ft over soil, sand, gravel, or other soft material before making a bull rush (regardless if it is part of an attack), it can choose to bury the creature in the moved material.  The creature is entangled, as if hit by a [[SRD:Tanglefoot Bag|tanglefoot bag]].  They can make a [[Reflex]] save again the tanglefoot effect, DC 23 (DC 26 for the killdozer).  The save is [[Strength]] based.

''Pin:'' If an autonomous bulldozer or killdozer bull rushes a creature into a wall, it can make a grapple attempt as a free action and immediately pin the creature against the wall.  However it is unable to prevent speaking.  If the autonomous bulldozer or killdozer moves, the creature is automatically freed.

'''Hardness:'''  The autonomous bulldozer and killdozer are high grade steel, with hardness 10.  It takes half damage from physical attacks, electricity, and fire damage, full damage from acid and sonic attacks, and one-quarter damage from cold attacks.

'''Programming:'''  The autonomous bulldozer possesses the following programs: Calculate, Collect, Identify Object, Job Function (construction), Reposition, Search, Sort.

The killdozer on the other hand possesses the following programs: Attack, Calculate, Collect, Identify Creature, Identify Object, Job Function (construction), Reposition, Search, Sort.

'''Stability {{Ex}}:''' Autonomous bulldozers and killdozers have stability as a [[SRD:Dwarf|dwarf]], but gain a +8 bonus from weight and a wide base instead of a +4 bonus.

'''Trample {{Ex}}:''' The autonomous bulldozer and killdozer have a trample attack.  3d6+15, [[Reflex]] half DC 23 (DC 26 for killdozer). The save DC is [[Strength]]-based.

'''Treads {{Ex}}:''' The autonomous bulldozer's and killdozer's treads allow it to ignore difficult terrain.
