When fire flares up and danger is afoot, the rescue workers spring into action! And they arrive upon a powerful steed, a massive truck able to fulfill multiple rolls. It's a water tank, its a mobile platform, its a rescue vehicle, and more.

The Luna-Tesla Corporation sometimes enters into roles it is not normally associated with. Taking the robotics technology from their war machines, they turned to more peaceful and helpful purposes by building an intelligent fire truck. Equipped with an AI capable of complex interaction, it puts the minds of those it rescues at ease while understanding and acting on complex commands done within the heat of the moment.

Quint-1901 Autonomous Fire Engines typically come in bright reds and yellows, with loud sirens and flashing lights.

Combat

Autonomous fire engines don't usually see combat, but sometimes take positions of riot control. In such cases, its water jet forms a powerful weapon to defend itself.

Crew (Ex): The autonomous steamroller has room for a crew of up to eight medium creatures (one being the driver), if piloted manually. Starting and running it requires a DC 15 Knowledge Xeno or Pilot check.

Extendable Ladder (Ex): Autonomous fire engines have an extendable ladder which can project out to 50 ft as a move action (to a maximum length of 100 ft). Creatures can hold onto the ladder and ride along with the extension, or climb it, to reach new heights. It can extend the ladder out instantly, but its programming disallows it to extend beyond 50 ft per move action while the ladder is occupied. In addition, it cannot use its Ladder Bash ability while the ladder is occupied.

Immunities (Ex): Autonomous fire engines are immune to blindness and deafness.

Ladder Sweep (Ex): Autonomous fire engines can sweep their latter out in a wide arc to strike multiple creatures. As a full attack action it can make a single attack with the Ladder Bash against all targets in a 30 ft cone. Alternatively it can choose to make a single attack up to 60 ft away as a full attack action by thrusting its ladder out at long range. It does not threaten out to this range. It's programming does not allow it to attack with the ladder bash attack if it's ladder is currently occupied.

Programming: The autonomous fire engine possesses the following programs: Calculate, Collect, Communication x2, Identify Creature, Identify Object, Job Function (rescue worker), Protect, Reposition, Search.

Siren (Ex): Autonomous fire engines can cause their siren to wail up to painful levels as a move action. All creatures within 30 ft must make a DC 22 Will save or become deafened for 1 minute, save negates. The save DC is Wisdom based.

Stability (Ex): Autonomous fire engine have stability as a dwarf, but gain a +8 bonus from weight and a wide base instead of a +4 bonus.

Water Jet (Ex): Autonomous fire engines come equipped with a hose akin to a decanter of endless water. It uses it's Wisdom bonus on the ranged attack roll. In addition to its normal three functions, it has a forth function which outputs 120 gallons per round. Creatures affected by this "Cannon" strength spray must make a DC 17 Strength check to avoid being knocked prone. In addition, it deals 10d6 points of damage. The autonomous fire engine can choose to deal nonlethal damage with its water jet ability. Finally the autonomous fire engine never needs to make strength checks to avoid being knocked over by its own water jet.

Wheeled Vehicles (Ex): Autonomous fire engines are designed for roads, and don't have the maneuverability of legs. It has an clumsy maneuverability as if it had a fly speed for the purposes of turning radius. If it makes a double move, the penalties from clumsy are doubled (so, for example, its turning radius 20 ft per 45 degree turn). If it moves more than double its speed (such as if running) its maneuverability does not drop further than doubled penalties of clumsy.

On smooth road-like surfaces, the overland speed (but not the tactical speed) of the autonomous fire engine doubles, averaging about 102 mph at maximum.

Construction

Quint-1901 Autonomous Fire Engines are build out of a composite of many different metals, plastics, and alloys which must be processed in a factory. In addition its computer core requires special components and programming. The cost of the base material components are worth 1800 gp.

Assembling the body requires a DC 22 Craft (technology) check, a DC 22 Knowledge Engineering, or a DC 22 Knowledge Xeno check.

CL 9th; Craft Construct, control water, lesser geas; Price 18,000 gp; Cost 8,100 gp + 648 XP.
