Though I did assume the focus would be on items overall, not just tech, so I'll take only partial credit there. They don’t need to eat or drink, but sleeping (a “rest state”) and breathing (“venting magic-infused gas”) both have equivalent processes that amount to the same thing. I saw plenty of gunslinger guesses, but nobody started guessing "inventor" until we got a couple more crumbs.

I also liked the Gears archetype “Sterling Dynamo” which is “hey, what if my character just had a robot arm? So for a class that sounded like it would run the danger of being one-note, it seems like there are a lot of different feels you can aim for. So you have a wide variety of firearms, the most exotic of which are “beast guns”, which are a fusion of magic and creature parts. My only complaint about this is that the “Spider Chair” causes unfortunate flashbacks to the dreadful Wild Wild West movie, but that shouldn’t negate the principle of positive representation.Refunds will be made via the payment method originally used, so please be sure to bring the card you originally paid with. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. In fact, my little birds tell me that “Guns” and “Gears” started out as separate projects entirely, before being merged into one volume, which… yeah, that kind of explains things.

Roll For Combat is an Actual Play Podcast where we play role-playing games and interview industry leaders. Other interesting Archetypes include the Trick Driver and Vehicle Mechanic, the implementation of which requires the implementation of vehicles to your campaign, a prospect which is disruptive enough that it merits not one but TWO sidebars. A gazetteer of Golarion revealing how firearms and technology fit into the Age of Lost Omens, including a look at the technology of the continents of Arcadia and Tian Xia and never-before-revealed secrets of the rough-and-tumble, gritty city of Alkenstar. Furthermore, Michael Sayre already mentioned a few posts above that the Automaton ancestry in this book can be used to play Jistkan Automatons, which are quite different from the Androffan Androids to seem to be referencing.The Way of the Pistolero is a “fast feet, faster talker” build that focuses on movement abilities and personal-interaction effects that confuse and demoralize opponents. It also, I have no doubt, will be the source of an incredible number of arguments about whether or not guns have a place in your game. But whoever they are, they’re enough of a high-roller that they had the resources to commission a clone at some point, right? It will probably not come as much of a surprise to learn that dwarves invented this style of fighting.

Whereas the Android from the Lost Omens Ancestry Guide is a fusion of organic and technology, Automatons are pure tech, living constructs.

If you can offer this proof, we will again offer to repair or replace the item in the first instance. So they’re constructs in concept but hew closer to organic beings in terms of touchpoints with the rules. When conventional weaponry won't cut it, supercharge your gameplay with clockwork wonders, electrifying coils, and potent black powder!
