I would imagine so. The not showing up in mirrors was due to silver being used, and silver's supposed purifying properties. So unless androids have similar silver eyes they should be vsible just fine. On the other hand, it would be funny if you have an android PC.


But can the Undead see the Unliving?


Digital imaging for robots. No mirrors used.
Androids probably have organic eyes anyway.

Taking into account the fact that vampired don't bump into walls or doors it can be safely assumed that they do see them.

The Vampire sees the Android.
The Android sees the Vampire.
The violins swell...

Definitely a better love story than twilight!

This, caused coffee to stream out my nose.


If we accept the physics of Ultraviolet, then non-organic systems don't see them. Or hear them. That's why they don't host chat shows.

Note some undead have a lifesense ability that might not see androids or robots, this is especially true of Incorporeal Undead.

So for those romantic out there, no Ghost in the Machine.


I dunno. From what I recall about vampires, it has nothing necessarily to do with silver screwing up their reflections. It's ANY reflection that they don't cast. They don't have shadows in some tales, either.

Actually if you go back far enough, vampires weren't physical in nature. They would mist out of their graves, suck the life out of someone, and return. This somehow had interesting effects on the corpse. But the earth wasn't necessarily disturbed.

Therefore, if it was purely immaterial, the only way you could see it is with mental impressions, as if you could swear something with X description was there, but when you blink, it's not.

Of all the monsters in the Pathfinder Universe, there are only 5 creatures with the lifesense ability, and not all of those are undead.

Each and every one of those creatures has a way of "seeing" without using lifesense.

Androids have the Humanoid type.

Robots can see vampires because robots are just all around better than vampires. :P
