I'm working on an idea for Iron Gods, and could use some advice....
The character is an Andriod/Synthisist...the Synthisist's fused eidolon is meant to represent "advanced nanites" that alter his abilitites far beyond what most andriods are capable of.
I'm running into area's that I'm not sure how to address, given the newness of tech, and the limited mechanics.
For example, I'm struggling with how to either render the eidolon which by "RAW" is an outsider, but in intent is tech...immune to things like Banishment and dismissal ?
Not really sure how to handle magic vs tech transparency ?
Off the cuff: the nanites are microscopic outsiders, like extraplanar bacteria or viruses. Perhaps the nanites rely on differences in molecular physics that only exist in matter from particular planes. So banishment and dismissal still work.
Hhhmmm....that's certainly a fall back...describing why they are effected by magic....I'm thinking I'm going to have the same problem with his spell casting....
It's not hard to explain how nanites could achieve most magical effects...but vulnerability to things like dispel magic etc...becomes problematic....
I of course don't currently know if the AP will have specific tech that effects nanites in a specific way either....
I suppose one option is to say that his nanites where altered by the technic league with "magic"...so they are no longer completely tech, but a hybrid of tech and magic....
No other suggestions ?
