Android

This slender woman moves with a strange, calculated grace. Complex blue tattoos glow on her pale flesh.

Of the numerous wonders and horrors that emerge from technological ruins, the androids who periodically crawl from the wreckage are among the most eerie and amazing. Though they appear to be almost human, these artificial wonders are of a completely foreign and utterly alien nature.

Androids are created, not born, and come into the world fully mature. The strange, alien ‘forges’ in which new androids are created are hidden in strange ruins, and most androids have little to no memories of these regions. Strange circuitry-like markings that look like faintly glowing tattoos, a faint metallic sheen to the eyes, and watery, almost translucent red blood are all ways to tell an android from a human – providing its awkward mannerisms haven’t revealed the truth already.

A typical android is 6 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Constructed (Ex) For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger’s favored enemy and bane weapons), androids count as both humanoids and constructs. Androids gain a +4 racial bonus on all saving throws against mind-affecting effects, Paralysis, poison, and stun effects, are not subject to fatigue or exhaustion, and are immune to disease and sleep effects. Androids can never gain morale bonuses, and are immune to fear effects and all emotion-based effects.   Emotionless (Ex) Androids have problems processing emotions properly, and thus take a -4 penalty on Sense Motive checks. Nanite Surge (Ex) An android’s body is infused with nanites. Once per day as an immediate action, an android can cause her nanites to surge, granting a bonus equal to 3 + the android’s character level on any one d20 roll; this ability must be activated before the roll is made. When an android uses this power, her circuitry-tattoos glow with light equivalent to that of a torch in illumination for 1 round.
