Homebrew Automaton Species Details

After the Warforged became a free people, an inspired artificer experimented with the idea of a species dedicated, not to war, but to service. Enhancing a Steel Defender with a homunculus heart, the first Automaton was born.  Where the Warforged are built for battle, the Automaton was built for intelligence and to be a servant to the more scholarly professions.
