Homebrew Drone Species Details

DRONE

Robots made to server or be served, not from any particular plane or region and are often found integrated into different societies, however in a good or bad way really depends on time and place.

 

Iron Fear

Their appearance causes fear including their fire “cannon” tails and weapons for arms, and in most cases their lack of proper “skin” or “eyes” are offsetting, some people discriminate against them out of fear or treat them the same as Teiflings.

Not Discreet

They are unable to sneak due to their appearance in crowds (unless in human skin) and how sorely they stick out.

Separation

Most drones lack responsibility for their actions and separate themselves from what happens, however that separation and steel resolve on their actions crumbles and creaks when low on oil/blood.

Internal Unit

Magic can be used by the drones, however they often are more using their own core as a means to cast magic, which limits their abilities and some strength unless they sacrifice other slots.

Choosing Names

Named after their owner or after things they like, typically with a serial number or name on the back of their neck that they can also identify with.  

 

Drone Traits

Drone Traits

Age

Drones are typically designed at an age but do not have their own, they don’t rust or become old, so their age is typically chosen by themselves or their maker.

Weight

Drones typically are 60-80kg, lightweight and mobile, however chunkier models can be made that weight more.

Language Intake

Drones can learn languages faster than people, however they have to have someone TEACH them, they cannot learn on their own. They also can only have a select few languages in their system, or they must delete the languages to clear space for new ones.

They have a max of 4-5 languages.

Size

Drones are typically built at 6-7 ft tall, however some can be smaller, in the 4ft range of height.
