Homebrew Robot Species Details

Robots are otherworldly constructs that have traveled through the planes from another time and dimension. You have no ability to cross back to your world, yet you constantly seek to get home, wherever that is, which you don't know. Being an entity of logic, this presents you a huge logical dilemma and robots don't prefer to discuss this with anyone. Instead, you have become sentient and self-repairing to your now defunct programming. You have the ability to alter your program slightly every week, trying to find your way through life. You have developed nano-technology in your circuits that slowly repair broken components. You seek out processed metal and silicon at any opportunity to keep as spare building materials.

Robots have the ability to imitate not only weapons combat by reprogramming and upgrading their bodies, but they can "learn" spells as any character could by replicating the effects of any spell. Thus, caster classes are not impossible to be played by a robot.
