About

Occasionally, an autom gains sentience and takes on adventures of its own. When playing as an autom, please follow the statistics below.

Racial Features

Ability Score Increase Your Constitution score increases by 3, though your Dexterity score decreases by 2. Alternatively you can increase your Intelligence score by 2 in exchange for lowering your Charisma score by 2.

Age Automatons can physically be over 100 years old, but mentally consider themselves only as old as the spirit that has given them sentience.

Alignment Must be LN, NG, CN, NE, or N. Most Automata fall in the completely neutral section.

Size Most automatons have been built or later modified to the same height and build of either a human or a dwarf, though some retain their original bulky shape. The more modern autom weighs in at about 300 pounds, while an autom who keeps his original shape weighs in at about 550.

Speed 30 feet base walking speed

Languages Common and one language related to the Autom's original persona.

Clockwork Body Disadvantage on all Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth checks. No need for air, food, or water. Instead of sleep, an Automaton can spend 4 hours to maintain and repair their parts.

Flame Thrower A weapon folds out of the automaton's arm and when wielding this weapon they cannot be disarmed. Works as a Dragonborn's flame blast (recharge on 5 or 6). Deals 6d8 fire damage. Targets that make a successful DC 15 dex save take half damage.
