An ability score of your choice increases by 2, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Automatons are fully grown upon creation, and since the technology itself is quite new, no one knows exactly how long they live for, but leading Imperial engineers and scientists presume that their lifespans will be determined by how diligent they are in repairing their old components as they malfunction and upgrading to new components as they are manufactured. However, their central palycite reactors expire roughly every 10 years and will need to be repaired, exchanged, or upgraded or else the automaton will cease to function.

Automatons are Neutral upon their creation unless they are manufactured with a personality or goal that suggests otherwise. However, as most automatons are likely to serve their creators and obey their core programming, their alignments tend to be Lawful.

An automaton's size is entirely dependent on how they were created. If one's creator crafted them to resemble humans, elves, tieflings, or some other similarly sized race, then their size is Medium. If crafted to resemble a halfling, gnome, or some other similarly sized race, then their size is Small.

You have been programmed with the knowledge and intellect to use various tools your creator deemed useful to you. You have a set of Tinker's Tools integrated into the framework of your fingers which you can extend and retract to allow you to craft, repair, adjust, or modify yourself or something you are interacting with at your discretion.

You gain proficiency with Tinker's Tools and one other tool of your choice.

You have resistance to poison damage and immunity to disease, and you have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned.

Your central processing system is similar in function to the brains in most humanoids, but its inner workings are foreign and incomprehensible to the magics and abilities that succumb the latter to their effects.

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened, and magic cannot put you to sleep.

At 3rd level, as a bonus action, you gain the ability to temporarily disable your limiters and act beyond your capabilities, granting you incredible power. When you activate this ability, you gain the following benefits until the beginning of your next turn:

• You have advantage on all Strength and Dexterity ability checks, and Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
• You have advantage on all attack rolls.
• Your walking speed doubles.
• You gain an additional attack when you take the Attack action on your turn. (This stacks with features like Extra Attack).
• You gain an additional reaction.
• You may add a bonus to a single damage roll of each of your attacks or spells equal to your proficiency bonus.
• The targets of your attacks or spells have disadvantage on saving throws against your abilities.

At the beginning of your next turn after you Overcharge, you are stunned until the beginning of your next turn as your exhaust vents begin cooling your overheated body and your drives re-calibrate to support your normal state.

You may use this ability once and regain the ability to do so after a long rest.

As a mechanical construct, you are not required to eat, drink, or sleep like many humanoids, instead, you must spend at least 4 hours a day for maintenance to repair yourself and your various pieces and drives with scrap metal, oil, or some form of fuel. This functions as a long rest.

You need oil and fuel the same way other races need food and drink, and if deprived of these resources, you gain 1 point of exhaustion everyday that you do not provide them for your maintenance.

Though you are a mechanical being manufactured by a creator, your experiences, emotion, and sentience make you a living being.

You are considered a living organism, and your creature type is both Construct and Humanoid.

You have been inscribed with a complete understanding of two languages upon your creation.

You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.
