Character Background Originally created to be nothing more than an assistant around its creator’s lab, this android didn’t need to be as complex or large as the others that populated its world Unfortunately, when its home was attacked by rogue androids hoping to erase the human virus, the model /s was forced to upgrade itself to survive in combat Outfitted with specially crafted armor and a customized crossbow it made itself, the android was able to defeat the renegades by turning their power against them Before it could put an end to the threat that was its creator’s rival, the android was pulled through a tear in reality into the Collective Unsure how it came to be in this alien universe, the android had to relearn how to apply many of its talents as a battle augur As it did so, the Collective observed the smaller, more compact build put into the model s/ and learned how to replicate it to save on already dwindling resources Now, the android has left the Collective’s sanctuary to search for a way back to its plane of origin After several failed leads, it has been directed to an island off the nearby coast that just appeared out of the blue one day, in much the same way as the android did With luck, the model /s can find the answers it needs in order to get home and save its creator Model /S Android Racial Traits (13 RP) 34 +2 Dex, +2 Int, –2 Wis: Model /s androids have similar strengths to their counterparts, but gain them for different reasons Their smaller size makes them more adroit, and while they’re younger appearance makes them easier to get along with, they can sometimes act without regard to the outcome Small: Model /s androids are Small creatures and gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –1 penalty to their CMB and CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth checks As a small creature, the model /s can squeeze into places larger models cannot, making it a better assistant in tight spaces Slow and Steady: Model /s androids have a base speed of 20 feet, but their speed is never modified by armor or encumbrance While slower than other models, a model /s is still able to carry similar loads Alert: Androids gain a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks Hero Construct: The model /s, when reformatted for adventure, doesn’t gain the same resistances as other androids This is because they develop stronger personalities, which can be more easily affected by spells and abilities that target emotions For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger’s favored enemy and bane weapons), model /s androids count as both humanoids and constructs They are proficient with light and medium armor, and treat any armor they wear as one category lighter than it is naturally This does not apply to armor that is already lighter than normal, whether through material (such as mithral) or another effect Low-Light Vision: A model /s can see twice as far as a human in conditions of dim light Nanite Surge: An android’s body is infused with nanites Once per day as an immediate action, an android can cause her nanites to surge, granting a bonus equal to + the android’s character level on any one d20 roll;
