Robotic[edit]
This template turns an organic creature into a robot. Either as a robot built to resemble a certain species, or a species that somehow became a robot, the robotic template allows machine versions of any pre-existing species available.
Creating a Robotic creature[edit]
This can be either acquired or inherited, but is more commonly and inherent part of a creature's being.
Size and Type[edit]
The creature becomes a Construct Augmented subtype of whatever their original type was. Do not change BAB, saves, skills, HD, or any other traits. Normal construct traits are replaced by the variant construct traits below.
Hit Dice[edit]
Rather than gaining LA, the robotic creature gains a single construct HD. This provides +0 BAB, +0 Fort, Reflex, and Will saves, and 4+Int skill points with any six skills as class skills.
Special Qualities[edit]
Variant Construct Traits: Robotic creatures do not possess all construct traits. They keep their Constitution score, and have a semblance of life force within their body. However, they only take half benefit or half damage from both positive and negative energy damage. They benefit fully from repair spells and effects which affect constructs.
They do not need to eat, sleep, or breathe. They have low-light vision and darkvision out to 60 ft. They are immune to death effects, disease, chemical based paralysis, exhaustion, fatigue, poison, and sleep effects.
If they take enough ability damage or drain to hit 0 Constitution they do not die, but instead simply go inert until healed. Their auto-repair systems also cause them to recover hp and ability damage from resting as if they were a living creature, and they go inert when they hit 0 hp rather than being destroyed. They perish when they hit -10 hp as normal, but they automatically stabilize, and are immune to bleeding damage as they do not have any blood counterpart. They can be raised and resurrected as if they were a living creature. Robotic creatures are still subject to critical hits, sneak attacks, and nonlethal damage. They can take ability damage and drain, but no amount of damage or drain can kill them (or transform them, such as in the case of a Shadow). They are also subject to mind-affecting effects, but with a +2 racial bonus on their saving throw due to their alien mindset. They are not immune to effects that require a Fortitude save, and can perish from massive damage. They do not gain bonus hp based on size. Robotic creatures are treated as warforged for the purpose of prerequisites and for interacting with certain spells and effects.
