I wanna apologize for not updating with more information here. It's been a terrible year, for a lot of reasons and my campaign is on a break while I try and get a bunch of personal issues sorted out.Sir, you do a wonderful job and you do it free. No one here will ever say otherwise. Here's hoping you have a better 2015 and I'll pour a pint out on New Years in remembrance of a gaming group sadly on break.
The group is still playing fortunately, one of the players GMs our Legacy of Fire game. It's nice to be able to just show up to a game with a character sheet and fight evil genies :)
Have you posted your version or Irovetti's stat block anywhere? If not would it be possible for you to post it or PM it to me?

It's a 3rd level spell with a range of touch. Which means that:
A. You're not going to have an army of wizards casting the spell.
B. Even if you did, they would get cut down by attacks of opportunity and/or readied attacks before delivering it.
C. Clockwork dragons are huge targets, so that's where you want to put your anti-magic defenses, making this spell even less useful.
It's great for certain situations, especially if it's just one or two constructs, but against an entire army of clockwork soldiers, it's just simply not effective enough.

I like DM_aka_Dudemeister's changes to Irovetti and Pitax as a whole. I decided to go with a different vision though of Irovetti for my campaign because (a) the campaign is mythic and (b) my players' pcs enjoy some additional campaign story bonuses.
I have not fleshed him out completely yet, but, essentially, Irovetti is a nerfed version (that I came up with) of a gestalt (from WotC's 3rd Edition Unearthed Arcana) Iron Titan 17 (by Rite Publishing)/Bard (Arcane Duelist) 17, who will be riding inside another Iron Titan that will be Huge sized at least (think of the Transformers Headmasters, and you will have a good image of what I am intending to try here with Irovetti). This particularly version will let him mimic more closely the abilities of Doctor Doom, I think.
I hope to have him completed within a few days.
Cheers!
CB out.

Appreciate the info shared here, thanks again(dotting)

I would also like to hear about these airships
Also any mass combat stats for these armies
I have two bits I'm adding personally
1) expanding on the clockwork dr doom with the inclusion of a Doombot that thinks it's the original
2) https://www.realmshelps.net/magic/items/siegeengines.shtml
Specifically the elemental rockshot and/or hellwasp shot
Think there's any chance this might sneak into the updated AP?

I haven't been contacted so it's not likely, but if I'm in the mood I might throw together some 2e updates for my expansions down the line ;).
I'll have to go digging to see if I can find the airship stuff. I mostly designed them for the mass combat rules, like a fortification that could speed up the movement of armies of certain sizes.
Dudemeister, the Guantlets of the Darkmaster have an odd text line.
"the shield emits supernatural darkness in a 10 ft radius, darkness in a 20 ft radius and dim light in a 40 ft radius."
This sounds like an inversion of the Lightmaster Gauntlets shield posted right above, but while the Lightmaster says it makes a shield, the Darkmaster says "the gauntlet generates a one handed thrown of the wielder's choice each round."
Is there missing details on it being able to make a shield also?
Thanks for all your work shared btw. My group is on the verge of Book 5 now, in their intermission year between book 4 and 5 so i am getting my ducks lined up.
