Homebrew Automaton Species Details

Resembling mechanical wonders straight from the pages of a steampunk epic, Automatons are a testament to the finest craftsmanship. Their bodies are forged from bronzed metals, intricately adorned with gears, rivets, and cogs, paying homage to the aesthetics of a bygone era. Each Automaton is a unique model, varying in design and purpose.

These sentient constructs are masters of discretion, concealing their presence from the world at large. Hidden away in remote sanctuaries, their existence is an age-old secret, known only to a select few. Most races are blissfully unaware of their silent vigil.

Automatons are an ageless race, having stood sentinel for centuries, their memories etched in the passage of time. They possess an unparalleled understanding of history and have witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the birth of legends, and the turning of the ages.
