Inevitable / Automaton


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


I just want a clarification on what they're called in the setting. In "The Devil's Heretic," Inevitables are referred to exclusively as automatons, yet in the Emerald Spire Superdungeon and Skull & Shackles, they are called Inevitables. Is there a reason for the "automaton" name?


'Devil's Heretic'? Do you mean the Pathfinder Tale 'Death's Heretic'?

Inevitables are constructed Outsiders. They are forged by the Axiomites, made from Lawful souls to battle Chaos. So they are more then mere Constructs or Golems. They are true outsiders, an own subspecies.


IIRC, they might be hitting the same problem that Tieflings have. While both creatures are open game content, that license doesn't extend to use of those names invented in DnD for things like novels. Hence the use of Hellspawn and Automaton, which don't have any sort of trademark or similar legalese protection.

What MMCJawa said. OGL doesn't extend to non-gaming material.
