Homebrew Adeptus Mechanicus Species Details
once human, now an amalgamation of machinery and wires, those of the Mechanicum have willingly replaced their flesh and bones with steel and silicone, viewing the natural human body as weak and feeble. members of the Mechanicus are often unfeeling and emotionless as a result of their mechanization, and along with the lack of emotion, they are unnaturally built, no longer bound by the human body, Adepts of the Mechanicus can be seen sporting all manner of physical modifications, including extra limbs, cutting claws, and even large systems in place of legs which allow the Adept to hover about. in addition to the physical aspect, Adepts are able to interface with electronic systems and navigate them with naught but their mind or CPU, whichever is in their head.
Adeptus Mechanicus Traits
no longer bound by the flesh of their old body, Adepts are unfeeling, bionic creations that range in appearance and purpose, from the lowest servant to the most esteemed magos of the Mechanicum.Charm immunity
the bionic implants have left you incapable of emotion and therefore attraction, leaving those who would attempt to charm you confused.
alignment
your alignment is automatically true neutral, for you are incapable of feeling emotions and therefore unable to pick sides in an argument or debate.
modification
no longer restricted by the limits of the flesh, you can customize your metal frame however you want. any from an extra limb for attacking to Infared lenses that let you see in the dark. anything you can think of can be made and added on to your metal body, (at the DM'S discretion) however, as per the scriptures of the Mechanicus, an Adept may only be permitted a maximum of three augmentations, any more would be shameful in the watchful oculus of the Omnissiah.
