Machines

Clanking and clunking, sparking and burning, these machines want to grind you down.

Machinery in the new world is quite advanced, and the only real difference between it and biological life at this point is the types of resources it requires, and often, it's ability to self repair. Machinery comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and purposes, and often it is designed to be at least partially autonomous. This is also why so much machinery has defensive mechanisms of one sort or another built into it, after all, if you have an autonomous robot flitting about, no corporation is going to want it being knocked down and stripped for parts by Jerboans, Gobbos, or someone looking to score some creds on the side. Thus, whatever the actual purpose of the device, you almost certainly build in the capacity for it to kill anyone, and anything that tries to stop it from achieving its goal.

Drones

The smallest class of machines, drones operate as maintenance systems, guard systems, and personal assistants in many households, business places, and workshops.

Cute Li'l Robot

An incredibly common pet among the more technically savvy members of the public. No one knows who made the first one, but attempts to trademark and copyright them since have all failed in the blanket ability of the target audience to completely ignore the corpos attempts at enforcement. These tiny personal assistant drones are incredibly customizable by design and considered a great first project for any aspiring roboticist.

Communications Array. While the Cute Li'l Robot is on the same plane of existence as its master, it can convey what it senses to its master, and the two can communicate regardless of distance.

ACTIONS

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.

Hit: 1 piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is instead poisoned for 5 (1d10) minutes and unconscious while poisoned in this way.

Hacker's Homie

The more advanced form of a Cute Li'l Robot, many a techcasting adventurer has taken their childhood toy and converted it into a form that can channel tech for them and will act to support and backstop their owner, taking care of tedious or repetitive taskings for the tech caster so that they might focus on actually doing the job.

Hit: 1d4 + 2 Kinetic damage.

REACTIONS

Channel Tech. The Hacker's Homie delivers a tech you cast that has a range of touch. The Hacker's Homie must be within 120 feet of you.

Spiderbot

By far the most common machine in the Datacenters, developed by the technocultists of LOL! Tits Huge. These spiderbots are built to act as maintenance drones, activating on a set schedule regularly for regions of datacenters the Undercity Elves have no interest in regularly visiting. When they hear voices they immediately lock onto the source and begin to swarm towards it to dispose of the intruders.

Spider Climb. The spiderbot can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

ACTIONS

Pincer. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage plus 3 lightning damage.

Wisp-Drone

Commonly used as a defensive system in moderately high value corpo plantation fields and orchards (especially pharmaceutical based ones). These floating drones possess high levels of surgetech to enable them to change the state of their matter and float about. They can turn invisible, phase through matter, and change their personal luminosity. When they detect intruders, they turn themselves visible, burning like a bright flare to attract the field's other guard systems, while applying an bio-electrical osmosis device to the intruders, draining them of motive force and vitality while restoring the wisp's own systems.

Consume Life. As a bonus action, the wisp drone can target one creature it can see within 5 feet of it that has 0 hit points and is still alive. The target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw against this tech or die. If the target dies, the wisp drone regains 10 (3d6) hit points.

Ephemeral. The wisp drone can't wear or carry anything.

Incorporeal Movement. The wisp drone can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

Variable Illumination. The wisp drone sheds bright light in a 5-to 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional number of feet equal to the chosen radius. The drone can alter the radius as a bonus action.

ACTIONS

Shock. Melee Tech Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.

Hit: 9 (2d8) lightning damage.

Invisibility. The wisp drone and its light become invisible until it attacks or uses its Consume Life, or until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on tech).

Incendiary Drone

These suicide drones are most commonly cobbled together by insane technocultists from a combination of suborned drones and nanotech. They are deployed either defensively to protect the technocult's holy sites, or offensively against enemies of the technocult. The most insidious feature of these drones it their capacity to self repair. This enables them to be programmed in a fully offensively focused nature, uncaring of their own survival.

Tech Resistance. The drone has advantage on saving throws against tech and other technological effects.

Self Repair. If the drone is destroyed, it regains all its hit points in 1 hour unless tech destroying liquid (holy water) is sprinkled on its remains or a localised EMP or purge malware tech is cast on them.

Techcasting. The incendiary drone is a 5th-level tech-caster. Its Tech-casting ability is Intelligence (Tech save DC 13, +5 to hit with tech attacks). It requires no somatic or material components to cast its tech. The drone has the following tech-wizard Techs prepared:

Cantrip (at will): hovering helping hand

1st level (3 slots): micro shot, shield

2nd level (2 slots): blur, Burning Ball

3rd level (1 slot): Incendiary Grenade (fireball)

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The incendiary drone uses Fire Ray twice.

Fire Ray. Ranged Tech Attack: +5 to hit, range 30 ft., one target.

Hit: 10 (3d6) fire damage.

Bots

When someone or something refers to automation in the new world, they are almost certainly refering to 'Bots'. Bots are build on the highly modular and flexible Aifol Mk.1 model of android, though many also use variant marks of larger sizes or different specific purposes. Bots are the backbone of many corporate workforces, and despite the occasional attrition to an artificiate awakening, most corporations vastly prefer to not have to pay wages at all unless they can be reduced below the cost of bot maintenance.

Shelf Stocker

An ancient and incredibly old form of bot that, while obsolete compared to the more modern varieties of stacker bots that may awaken into artificiates, are still incredibly cheap to produce and maintain, and so remain a mainstay in most clearing houses and warehouses for the purposes of moving bulky items about.

EMP Susceptibility. The stocker is incapacitated while in the area of an EMP field. If targeted by dispel tech, the stocker must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against the caster's tech save DC or fall unconscious for 1 minute.

False Appearance. While the stocker remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a non-functioning robot.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The stocker makes two melee attacks.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage.

Bio Bot

Sometimes, you have to work with the materials at hand. That means repurposing cybernetics and various dead body parts into an embalmed drone to handle various tasks. The distinction between the hacked and a bio bot is almost purely academic, and certainly the distinction will be lost on anyone who is screaming for the torch and pitchfork mob to rise up and disassemble both bio bot and the geek involved in making it.

Berserk. Whenever the Bot starts its turn with 40 hit points or fewer, roll a d6. On a 6, the Bot goes berserk. On each of its turns while berserk, the Bot attacks the nearest creature it can see. If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the Bot attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the Bot goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all its hit points.

The Bot's creator, if within 60 feet of the berserk Bot, can try to calm it by speaking firmly and persuasively. The Bot must be able to hear its creator, who must take an action to make a DC 15 Charisma (Persuasion) check. If the check succeeds, the Bot ceases being berserk. If it takes damage while still at 40 hit points or fewer, the Bot might go berserk again.

Aversion of Fire. If the Bot takes fire damage, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the end of its next turn.

Immutable Form. The Bot is immune to any Tech or effect that would alter its form.

Lightning Absorption. Whenever the Bot is subjected to lightning damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to the lightning damage dealt.

Tech Resistance. The Bot has advantage on saving throws against Techs and other Technical effects.

Tech Weapons. The Bot's weapon attacks are Technical.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The Bot makes two slam attacks.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Shield Bot

A very common form of commercial bodyguard and personal security drone that is favored by middle managers and other execs who are too cheap to hire and continuously pay for the services of living security. They are slightly more popular in the Duty Free Ports, where they act as standard and shield bearers for emissaries between houses, so as to not be mistaken for invaders or assassins.

Bound. The shield bot is technically bound to an amulet. As long as the bot and its amulet are on the same plane of existence, the amulet's wearer can telepathically call the bot to travel to it, and the bot knows the distance and direction to the amulet. If the bot is within 60 feet of the amulet's wearer, half of any damage the wearer takes (rounded up) is transferred to the guardian.

Regeneration. The bot regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point.

Tech Storing. A Techcaster who wears the bot's amulet can cause the guardian to store one Tech of 4th level or lower. To do so, the wearer must cast the Tech on the bot. The Tech has no effect but is stored within the bot. When commanded to do so by the wearer or when a situation arises that was predefined by the Techcaster, the bot casts the stored Tech with any parameters set by the original caster, requiring no components. When the Tech is cast or a new Tech is stored, any previously stored Tech is lost.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The guardian makes two fist attacks.

Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

REACTIONS

Shield. When a creature makes an attack against the wearer of the guardian's amulet, the guardian grants a +2 bonus to the wearer's AC if the guardian is within 5 feet of the wearer.

Berserk Bot

Officially named Black Water Maintenance Bots, everyone else calls them Berserk Bots. These drones live in the sewage and liquid waste disposal systems of megacities, and insure that no obstructions get put into place. Caked in a highly absorbent cladding of acid and (thankfully) smell neutralizing synth-clay derivative, some of these bots have been in operation since the original construction of the Spires. People avoid the hell out of these bots, because they are well known to be on a complete hair trigger, and will flip out and smash anything and anyone that 'does not belong' in their designated areas.

Acid Absorption. Whenever the Bot is subjected to acid damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to the acid damage dealt.

Berserk. Whenever the Bot starts its turn with 60 hit points or fewer, roll a d6. On a 6, the Bot goes berserk. On each of its turns while berserk, the Bot attacks the nearest creature it can see. If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the Bot attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the Bot goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all its hit points.

Immutable Form. The Bot is immune to any Tech or effect that would alter its form.

Tech Resistance. The Bot has advantage on saving throws against Techs and other Techical effects.

Tech Weapons. The Bot's weapon attacks are Technical.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The Bot makes two slam attacks.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have its hit point maximum reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. The target dies if this attack reduces its hit point maximum to 0. The reduction lasts until removed by the greater restoration Tech or other Technic.

Haste (Recharge 5-6). Until the end of its next turn, the Bot Technically gains a +2 bonus to its AC, has advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and can use its slam attack as a bonus action.

Slime Bot

Commonly utilized by the more nefarious form of technocult, these rather slow bots have little use in active offensive or even defensive operations, but they are FANTASTIC at making sure that any intruders are too slow and mucked down by the slime they hurl about to escape from the technocultists, giving the bot's creators a fresh source of sacrificial victims.

Multiattack. The Bot makes two slam attacks.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 19 (3d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage.

Slow (Recharge 5-6). The Bot targets one or more creatures it can see within 10 feet of it. Each target must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw against this Tech. On a failed save, a target can't use reactions, its speed is halved, and it can't make more than one attack on its turn. In addition, the target can take either an action or a bonus action on its turn, not both. These effects last for 1 minute. A target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Junk Bot

Junk bots are commonly created by the less salubrious members of the undercity, taking broken parts, circuits, dirty recycled goods, and oily junk to assemble a semi-autonomous robot for the sole purpose of protecting places. Junk Bots are deliberately constructed to be as hard to notice as possible when they're inactive, and absolutely terrifying when moving about, using jump scare tactics, and failing that, slashing with jagged metal limbs, to drive off interlopers.

Terrifying Glare. The bot targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. If the target can see the bot, the target must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or be technologically frightened until the end of the bot's next turn. The frightened target is paralyzed.

The Strikebreaker

During the Genewars, the original Nimble units were deployed in a series of 35 generations, rapidly created and launched as highly adaptable, A.I. controlled, spec-ops and assassination units. The vast majority of these were destroyed, each one launched without any intent of retrieval, disposable razorblades launched en-mass with the rest of the drone armies. Only the last generation, the 35th, failed to ever see deployment. This model would later be iterated on and become the Nimble-36, specially built to handle the incredibly complex engramic data of a human mind and create the first Remakes. The remaining Nimble-35s were surreptitiously bought up by various mercenary organizations and corporations. The Strikebreaker line are reprogrammed and repurposed Nimble-35s, specifically designed for analyzing unionization and worker's rights movements through rapid analysis of social metadata, and then deployed to rip the heart out of any organized effort in as bloody and frightening a fashion as possible.

Whirling Dervish: The Strikebreaker deals 5 (1d8+1) slashing damage to any creature that grapples him. A creature that continues to grapple him takes 5 (1d8+1) slashing damage at the start of its turn.

Charging Slash. When the Strikebreaker uses an action to Dash, he can use a bonus action to make a melee weapon attack and potentially knock the target prone. If Strikebreaker hits with his attack, the target must make a DC 17 Strength Saving Throw or be knocked prone if they are of Medium size or smaller.

Remake Charisma: The Strikebreaker has advantage on Charisma based skill checks and Insight (Wisdom) for Remake. Also, when he uses his action to Help an allied Remake, they can be within 30 ft. instead of 5 ft. and must be able to see or hear him.

Robotic Fortitude: If damage reduces Strikebreaker to 0 Hit Points, he must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5+the damage taken, unless the damage is from an adamantium weapon or from a critical hit. On a success, Strikebreaker drops to 1 hit point instead.

Hi-tech Dispersal Claws: Weapon attacks with the Dispersal Claws count as technical.

Powerful Build: The Strikebreaker counts as Large when determining how much he can push, drag, or lift.

Reckless: At the start of his turn, the Strikebreaker can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls during that turn, but attack rolls against him have advantage until the start of his next turn.

Remake Resilience: The Strikebreaker is immune to diseases, does not need to eat, drink, or breathe. Magic can not put him to sleep.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. Strikebreaker can makes three Dispersal Claws attacks and two Neural Darts attacks.

Dispersal Claws. Melee Attack +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d6+8) slashing damage

Vicious Authority (Recharges per rest). For 1 minute, The Strikebreaker can utter a special command or warning whenever a non-hostile creature that he can see within 60 feet of him makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand the Strikebreaker. A creature can benefit from only 1d4 from this source at a time. This effect ends if the Strikebreaker is incapacitated.

Neural Darts. Ranged Attack +7 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d10+3) piercing damage.

LEGENDARY ACTIONS

Strikebreaker can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Strikebreaker regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Detect. Strikebreaker makes a Wisdom (Perception) check

Neural Darts. Strikebreaker makes a Neural Darts attack

Slashing Wings (uses 2 Actions). Strikebreaker' wings thrash around in a 5 ft. semicircle centered from the Strikebreaker' back. Each person must make a DC 16 Dexterity Saving Throw or take 8 (1d8+4) slashing damage.

Cyborgs

If using the 21st century definition of cyborg, it would be easier to make 'not a cyborg' a category, given how all pervasive cybernetic modification is in the new world. Given that fact, 'cyborg' specifically refers to any entity which includes significant portions of living biological tissue, while still being 'machine' enough to be impacted by effects that specifically target machines.

Cyberdrider
Cyberdriders are the product of the world's largest extant technocult, that of LOL! Tits Huge: the goddess of the old world's 'World Wide Web' that crisscrossed the globe, providing perfect knowledge and communication to all who had but the wits to properly navigate it. The highest members of this cult undergo complex cybernetic augmentation, replacing significant parts of their anatomy with a fully mechanized spider body, usually their lower half. This spiderbody grants them perfect maneuverability in their datacenter homes, able to move freely from server stack to server stack, preforming and maintaining the vast machines that are the modern 'Web' of their goddess, dedicating their lives to spinning and maintaining the physical form of LOL!TH's vast digital web. The lowest cyberdriders have only just recieved their augmentation, a reward for their dedication to the cult of LOL!TH, but this represents but the lowest level of the mysteries, and have not yet been given full access to the techs and capabilities enabled by their new cybernetics. Cyberdriders are usually, but not always, undercity ELFs.

Smart Objects

Smart Objects are anything you would normally think of as a tool, an object for carrying around, that is upgraded to act independently as any bot or drone would be. Almost anything in the world can be turned into a smart object if you're willing to pay enough money, and among the tech addicts, the desire to own the latest shiny new toy means that consumer electronics corporations are always making something new that's 'smart' even when it doesn't have to be, and likely stuffing it full of spyware at the same time.

Hovering Sword

A simple sword loaded with surgetech gravitational devices and a simple A.I. Often programmed as a form of defense, but can also be carried by more eccentric tech casters as a way of disguising their lack of martial prowess while not hauling around a COMPLETELY useless (to them) hunk of sharpened metal.

Sentient Synthweave

Synthweave rugs, blankets, and even clothing is not entirely unheard of, but the same programs that allow the synthweave to change coloration, shape, texture and hanging position on it's own power can also be subverted to turn the Synthweave into a surprisingly lethal defensive or offensive system. Such subversion is dangerous, as it also weakens the chaining protocols of the very simple A.I. any article of synthweave cloth requires to modulate it's movements and control the incredible restrained surgetech woven throughout it's body enabling it to control it's physical matter and gravity, and could result in the A.I. awakening.

EMP Susceptibility. The synthweave is incapacitated while in the area of an EMP field. If targeted by dispel tech the synthweave must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against the caster's tech save DC or fall unconscious for 1 minute.

Damage Transfer. While it is grappling a creature, the synthweave takes only half the damage dealt to it, and the creature grappled by the synthweave takes the other half.

False Appearance. While the synthweave remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal synthweave.

ACTIONS

Smother. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one Medium or smaller creature.

Hit: The creature is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, blinded, and at risk of suffocating, and the synthweave can't smother another target. In addition, at the start of each of the target's turns, the target takes 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage.

Vehicles

One of the first things to be transformed into automated, independent machines that could operate without direct human input was the cargo carrying ship. Land and air vehicles were quick to follow. Today, almost anything that can be piloted by a human being is almost certainly also going to possess enough of a weak A.I. system to pilot itself most of the time.

Mobile Military Mech

Commonly seen deployed on the upper exteriors of Megacity Walls, patrolling the borders of territories, or running escort on valuable corpo caravans. These mechs were once piloted by humans, but advancements in A.I. technology and miniaturization have allowed the human element to be removed. They are built explicitly for riot control in megacities, and thus are equipped to absorb fire (such as from moltovs), and has a nerve gas dispersal suit. They are also built to be incredibly resistant to technical attacks in all forms.
