I was wondering if anyone had already came across some 3E/3.5E/d20 version of the Sheens (a machine race first introduced in Dragon #258, I think)? I have already done some preliminary versions of the Sheens (no play-testing yet) and wanted to compare other versions with my own. Thanks for any help/insight into the matter. CB Out.

No, but there was a half-machine template in one of the past Dungeon magazines (not currently available to me). There's also several different 'mechanized' and 'machine' templates from various other .pdf books (Template Troves comes to mind).

Unfortunately, it's not quite what I am searching for, but that's quite alright. I will just convert, as best as I can, the sheens into 3.5 and stick to the rules as best as possible. The tricky part is deciding whether or not the Sheens are candidates for normal construct type or the living construct types. I am certain that the propagators and arcanosheens should have the living construct traits instead of the standard construct traits. CB Out. Edit: spelling and grammar check.

Well Charlie's on "Two and a Half Men" with Jon Cryer and he's doing voice work on something called "Foodfight!" that sounds like a miss. His dad, Martin, is working on "Bordertown" with J-Lo & Antonio Banderas and "The Departed", a cops vs mafia flick from martin Scorsese. The Estevez kids, though you didn't ask, aren't up to much at all. :P - Chris Shadowens - (Who did think at first the Sheens must've been some freelance - writers or something. Thanks to imdb.com for the Gather - Information DCs.

there might be some 3.0 versions on some site called the Creature Catalog...

I too enjoyed the Sheens issue and would like to see an up to date conversion. As a side note Malhavoc's Chaositech is a great little book somewhat along the same lines.

Hmmm... Sheens were really just robots that developed there only ecology and grew feral when they ended up masterless. Try converting the robots from a setting like d2o Future or Star Wars, with a little added nastiness in the attitude...
