Numerian Automatons


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion

Silver Crusade

Hi Everyone,

I was looking through the Inner Sea World Guide, looking for a location to run an adventure with a Barbarian, and I came across Numeria. The description mentions two types of Automatons: Gearsmen and the Insectoid Behemoths. I can not find any stats for these creatures but I really want to use them. Are there rules anywhere that people trust on building automatons? Does Paizo have these creatures somewhere? I found the clockwork automatons, but that does not appear to be what these creatures are. Any help is appreciated!

Sincerely,
Tom


Nope. Insectoid Behemoths, assuming they are/include that giant scorpion mecha thing (even though scorpions aren't insects), are confirmed for Inner Sea Bestiary though.

If you wanted to build something yourself, use the Animated Objects rules to build what you want and just call it an automaton.


Dungeons of volatility n has a dungeon with numerian stuff in it. ( though it isn't in numeria) it gives some basic robot stuff.


In Dungeons of Golarion there is a dungeon known as Red Redoubt of Karamoss, he was a machine mage from Numeria who isn't fully human anymore. He built humanoid automatons before the gearmen were discovered if I remember correctly, in Red Redoubt he had build multiple prototypes that didnt exactly make the final cut. The dungeon contains labs, etc. and rules for actual Automatons with the robot subtype as well as two pieces of numerian tech now equaling 4 pieces of tech in published material.

The Inner Sea Bestiary as mentioned before will stat up the large scorpion like automaton as well as the Gearmen, I'm quite excited for it.

2 people marked this as a favorite.

Inner Sea Bestiary, due out later this year, will indeed help on many fronts here...


Adding to what James has said, I think Gearsmen were already confirmed for Inner Sea Bestiary (or at least heavily implied).


*ahem*

Automata.

It isn't more correct, but it is cooler.


you could just take an iron golem and give it the advanced tempalte for the time being

According to their descriptions in City of the Fallen Sky, the Gearsmen are nigh indestructible, at least according to the knowledge of those who had opportunity to be amongst them.

Thus, I would possibly use an advanced iron golem for automata (satisfied Evil Lincoln?) and the adamantine golem stats for any Gearsmen, since they have the Indestructible special ability.

Indeed I am, sir.

That's a pretty significant amount of overexaggeration, in fact. Gearsmen are tough, but they're not nigh-indestructable. Although there are some that are more powerful than others.

Don't forget to add the robot subtype, that is what adds the right flavor.

And by that, I'm taking for granted how they were described in the book is overexaggeration . . . which I can understand with it being a piece of fiction and wanting to play up the Gearsmen more.

I'm just stating how they were described in the book, which actually got me a bit more excited about them. ;)
