Automata Traits

Automata are highly, intelligent artificial humanoids. They possess many features that protect them against the ailments of flesh.

Artificial Intelligence

You do not have a brain; therefore, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed and frightened. You are resistant to psychic damage, as well as this, because of your mechanical nature, if an organic being was to attempt to read your mind, or communicate with you telepathically, they would not understand the mechanical language that works within your mind.

Automatonic Charisma

Your voice is monotone and emotionless and your movements are stiff and unrealistic. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Metallic Skin

As you are covered by plates of metal, you do not see the need for armor. However, you are more than capable of equipping any pieces of armor that would fit over your constructed figure.

Inorganic Material

Because your body is made of inorganic materials, you do not need to Eat, Drink or Rest. Instead, you need to maintain your body through means of cleaning, lubrication, or recharging if your core is damaged.
