With a loud rumble a massive vehicle with giant pin rollers drove forward. It would really hurt if such a thing would land on you.

When the Luna-Tesla Corporation robotized the field of construction, it did cause some social unrest when the construction workers were put out of jobs, their machines running without their input. Even so, the public benefited from the advanced construction and demolition speeds and soon building projects erupted the world over. One of these machines was the road flattening steamroller, a heavy vehicle designed to crush surfaces flat. Given a mechanical mind, the autonomous bulldozer can understand spoken commands (but not reply in anything other than beeps and blasts of its horn), crushing anything in it's path. From construction, demotion, trash management, and even rescue, the autonomous backhoes could be found anywhere.

RinLen-1910 Autonomous Steamrollers typically come in warning yellow, and are powerful machines. They would be dangerous if misused.

Combat

Autonomous steamrollers do not engage in combat, but if they did they are simple, and effective, brutes. They have only one attack, the flattening trample, which is very effective.

Crew (Ex): The autonomous steamroller has room for a crew of one medium creature, if piloted manually. Starting and running it requires a DC 10 Knowledge Xeno or Pilot check.

Flattening Trample (Ex): Autonomous steamrollers have a special trample attack. 3d6+15, Reflex half DC 23. The save DC is Strength-based. If the Reflex save is failed you must make a Fortitude save (same DC), or be crushed into the ground prone and stuck in the earth. They must succeed on a DC 15 Strength check as a standard action to free yourself from the ground. A successful save negates the crushing.

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

Road Rollers (Ex): The autonomous steamroller's wheels allow it to ignore difficult terrain.

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

Construction

RinLen-1910 Autonomous Steamrollers 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 1200 gp.

Assembling the body requires a DC 20 Craft (technology) check, a DC 20 Knowledge Engineering, or a DC 20 Knowledge Xeno check.

CL 7th; Craft Construct, lesser geas, stone sphere^SpC; Price 12,000 gp; Cost 5,400 gp + 432 XP.
