Whatever happened to the Android boon?

[Le Petite Mort]

I'm know someone at GenCon spent an obscene amount of money to get an Android. I was wondering what they built with it.

Actually I am curious about most of the 'one off boons'. I have run into one of the Goblins. Which was actually quite fun, especially since he was then put in charge of a unit of Dwarves.

I'm not sure what class he went with, but I do know who won it. He was hoping to play him at U-Con, but the table of confirmation didn't go off. I don't know if he got in another game or not.

I'd be hard-pressed not to take the feat which let you get morale bonuses (if it was legal) and make an indefatigable barbarian. One of my players for Iron Gods did that - made a Barbarian/Stalwart Defender Android who switched between "Attack Mode" (rage) and "Defense Mode" (defensive stance) interchangeably, his nanite tattoos glowing red for attack mode and blue for defense mode. It's pretty awesome.

[David Neilson]

That is admittedly pretty cool.

[Talathel 'Brass Mantis' Gavax]

That is cool concept.

I hope I never play at a table with the person who got the Red Mantis Assassin boon.

Because, you know, you killed my father...

At GenCon this year, I had the distinct pleasure of running Vengeance at Sundered Crag for a table that included 6 goblins, all on the slow track. Despite my best efforts, none succumbed to death by misadventure. :P

What racials does an android get?

I got to play at the table as someone who had an Android Barbarian for Emerald Spire. It was definitely an interesting character.

Here you go.

My Venture Captain once told me she played a scenario involving horses with a goblin player. They had to persuade him that the horses they were riding were really cows.

Its one of the favorite stories I've heard in PFS.

The Android boon owner built their Android as a barbarian... and then mistakenly played them without taking the racial trait that allows them to receive morale bonuses.

Rebuild before 2nd level?

Seems to me they could still Rage cycle every round, at least.

I hope it became a Druid. Mecha-druid is best druid.

I was at U-Con, where the android character debuted and was one of the folks present when he learned about the need for the aforementioned trait to get morale bonuses.

The android is a barbarian.

Any kind enough to name this feat and source? I am intrigued for a home game.

I think it's THIS one.
