Homebrew Automaton Species Details

A slightly larger humanic mechanical being composed of rusted metal and gears. This mechanical beast can move around a bit slower than an average human but exert a lot more force than an average human. This mechanical creature can use an ability called Automation which speeds up the gears in its body causing it to move at a much higher speed with even more attack power. This ability however drains power and when used too often can cause the Automaton to shut down leaving it defenseless.
