-====== NPC Robots ======
-Created Friday 02 August 2013
-Most robots exist to perform mundane, rou-tine, or dangerous tasks without argument or ambition. Except for biodroids and bioreplicas with heroic class levels, all robots are treated as constructs and share the general traits out-lined below.
-Nonheroic robots don't get class levels. However, they can receive factory-installed skill and feat software, allowing them to emu-late specific skills and feats as part of their pro-gramming (see Skill Software and Feat Soft-ware).
-===== GENERAL ROBOT TRAITS =====
-As constructs, robots share the following traits that set them apart from organic beings:
-**Hit Die:** d10.
-**Base Attack Bonus:** 3/4 of total Hit Dice.
-**Good Saving Throws:** None.
-**Skill Points:** None.
-**Feats:** None.
-**Starting Occupation:** Robots never get starting occupations. Starting occupations represent life experiences gained before ac-quiring 1st level. Robots have no life experi-ences before rolling off the assembly line; be-fore then, they were nothing but parts.
-Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Ro-bots are proficient with their manipulators only. They are not proficient with armor.
-Ability Scores: Robots have no Consti-tution score and usually no Intelligence score. A robot's size and frame determines its ability scores, as shown on the tables included in the description of each type of robot frame.
-**Extra Hit Points:** Robots gain extra hit points according to their size, as shown on the tables included in the description of each type of robot frame.
-Manipulators: A robot typically has two functioning manipulators, although Large or bigger robots can have a higher number of functioning manipulators based on their size (see Manipulators, below).
-**Immunities:** As constructs, robots are immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, necroman-cy effects, and any effect that requires a Forti-tude save unless the effect also works on ob-jects or is harmless. They are not subject to nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, energy drain, or the effects of massive damage.
-Robots with armature and biomorph frames are not subject to critical hits. Bio-droids and bioreplicas, like the creatures they imitate, have vital areas and critical systems that can be attacked; consequently, they are susceptible to critical hits.
-Repairable: Robots cannot heal dam-age on their own but can be repaired using the Repair skill. A successful Repair check (DC 30) heals 1d10 points of damage to a robot, and each check represents 1 hour of work.
-Robot Resurrection: A robot reduced to 0 hit points is immediately destroyed and cannot be repaired, although its "brain" may be removed and installed in an similar but intact frame. See the Robot Resurrection sec-tion in Chapter 1 for details.
-**Weight:** A robot is generally heavier than an organic creature of similar size. When estimating a robot's weight, find the appropriate weight for an organic creature of the same size and multiply the result by X1.5.
-===== ROBOT FRAMES =====
-A robot's frame is the basic form the robot takes, from a simple bare-bones armature to a convincingly lifelike. It includes both the ro-bot's chassis and its internal power source.
-The frame determines a robot's base statistics and base purchase DC, as shown on the tables included with the description of each frame type, below..
-Frame Size: The size of the frame, which determines the robot's base purchase DC, base Hit Dice, and ability scores.
-Base Purchase DC: The purchase DC of the frame (or its components). The base pur-chase DC does not include the cost of acces-sories (modes of locomotion, manipulators, armor, sensors, or equipment) or increased Hit Dice.
-Base Hit Dice: The robot's Hit Dice, not counting any additional Hit Dice that may be added (see below).
-Extra Hit Points: Additional hit points gained due to the robot's size.
-Base Ability Scores: The robot's ability scores, before improvements. Robots that do not have Constitution or Intelligence scores cannot improve these abilities.
-Maximum Hit Dice/Purchase DC Modi-fier: The maximum Hit Dice the robot can have, and the amount by which the robot's purchase DC increases for each Hit Die added to its base Hit Dice. A dash (-) indicates that the robot cannot have its Hit Dice increased.
-=== ARMATURE (PL 5) ===
-The most basic of robot designs, armatures are essentially mechanical skeletons.
-To build an armature frame from scratch, a character must succeed at a Wealth check against the frame’s base purchase DC –2, and then a Craft (mechanical) check (DC 20) after investing time in the frame’s con-struction: 12 hours for a Tiny or smaller frame, 24 hours for a Small to Large frame, or 48 hours for a Huge or larger frame. A character without a mechanical toolkit takes a –4 pen-alty on the skill check.  The Armature Robot Frame table pro-vides the base purchase DC, Hit Dice, and ability scores for factory-made armature mod-els, as well as purchase DC modifiers for im-proving ability scores.
-Immunities: Robots with the armature frame have all the normal construct immuni-ties, including immunity to critical hits.
-Restriction: None.

-=== BIOMORPH (PL 5) ===
-A biomorph frame is essentially a hard plastic or metallic casing, often in a shape that sug-gests a living creature—for example, a human, dog, cat, or chimpanzee—though the resem-blance is vague, at best.
-To build a biomorph frame from scratch, a character must succeed at a Craft (mechanical) check (DC 25) after investing time in the frame's construction: 24 hours for Large or smaller frame or 72 hours for a Huge or larger frame. A character without a me-chanical tool kit takes a -4 penalty on the skill check. The character must also make a Wealth check against the frame's purchase DC –2.
-The Biomorph Robot Frames table pro-vides the base purchase DC, Hit Dice, and ability scores for factory-model biomorph ro-bots, as well as purchase DC modifiers for im-proving ability scores.
-Immunities: Robots with biomorphframes have all the normal construct immuni-ties, including immunity to critical hits.

-=== BIODROID (PL 6) ===
-Biodroids are a step up from biomorphs, in that they can be mistaken, under certain con-ditions, for what they are made to resemble. However, reasonably close inspection reveals the presence of robotic parts and the lack of biological parts. Purchasing a factory-model biodroid requires a license.
-To build a biodroid frame from scratch, a character must succeed at two skill checks-a Craft (mechanical) check (DC 30) and a Craft (electronic) check (DC 30). These checks are made after investing time in the frame's con-struction: 48 hours for a Large or smaller frame or 72 hours for a Huge or larger frame. A character without a mechanical tool kit or electrical tool kit takes a -4 penalty on the skill check (-8 if the character has neither). The character must also make a Wealth check against the frame's purchase DC –2.  The Biodroid Robot Frames table pro-vides the base purchase DC, Hit Dice, and ability scores for factory-model biodroid ro-bots, as well as purchase DC modifiers for im-proving ability scores.
-Critical Systems: Although they are constructs, biodroids have vital areas and crit-ical systems. Consequently, they are subject to critical hits.
-Lifelike Appearance: Distinguishing a biodroid from members of its emulated spe-cies requires a successful Spot check (DC 10). A biodroid can use the Disguise skill to in-crease the Spot check DC.
-Restriction: Licensed (+1).

-=== MECHANOID (PL 6) ===
-The mechanoid frame is essentially an ad-vanced version of the armature frame, using the PL 6 advances in neural networking and engineering to make the robot smarter and more capable.
-Building a mechanoid from scratch calls for both a Craft (mechanical) check (DC 30) and a Craft (electronic) check (DC 30). These checks require an investment in con-struction time of 48 hours for Large or smaller frames and 72 hours for Huge or larger frames. A character performing such work without a mechanical tool kit or electrical tool kit takes a -4 penalty on the skill checks (-8 if the character has neither). The character must also make a Wealth check against the frame’s purchase DC.
-The Mechanoid Robot Frames table provides the base purchase DC, Hit Dice, and ability scores for factory-model mechanoid robots, as well as purchase DC modifiers for improving ability scores.
-Immunities: Robots with mechanoid frames have all the normal construct immuni-ties, including immunity to critical hits.
-Restriction: None.

-=== BIOREPLICA (PL 7) ===
-A step up from biodroids, bioreplicas are ro-bots so convincingly lifelike that they are vir-tually indistinguishable from their living coun-terparts. The bioreplica's components are made up of light-weight plastics in a synthetic sheath that looks and feels like real flesh and skin. Bioreplicants are restricted, and in some areas, buying or owning one is illegal.
-To build a bioreplica frame from scratch, a character must succeed at two skill checks—a Craft (mechanical) check (DC 30) and a Craft (electronic) check (DC 30). These checks are made after investing time in the frame's construction: 48 hours for a Large or smaller frame or 72 hours for a Huge or larg-er frame. A character without a mechanical tool kit or electrical tool kit takes a -4 penalty on the skill check (-8 if the character has nei-ther). The character must also make a Wealth check against the frame's purchase DC –2.
-The Bioreplica Robot Frames table pro-vides the base purchase DC, Hit Dice, and ability scores for factory-model bioreplica ro-bots, as well as purchase DC modifiers for im-proving ability scores.
-Critical Systems: Although they are constructs, bioreplicas have vital areas and critical systems. Consequently, they are sub-ject to critical hits.
-Lifelike Appearance: Distinguishing a bioreplica from members of its emulated spe-cies requires a successful Spot check (DC 20). A bioreplica can use the Disguise skill to in-crease the Spot check DC.
