The Bot
Finally here's my first rendition of the Bot. The companion to the tinker class. I'll be adding more to it as I go along but I wanted to see what people thought and if someone wanted to use the bot with their tinker.
VB you can update the tinker also from it's origonal post. I've just been editing it as I've been going. Whenever you can get to it. Thanks man
The Bot
You can control your bot each round with a minor action which gives your bot a Standard and move action.
The Bot
It gets AC 10, Reflex 10, Will 10, Fort 10 to start with
Skills - Trained in any two of these
Acrobatics (Dex), Athletics (Str), Endurance (Con), Perception (Wis), Stealth (Dex).
It is immune to all mind effecting effects, it's just an object, considered a gadget.
It can be Small or Medium at first
It Levels with the Tinker
Hp at first level is 12 + consttution modifier
HP per level gained is 5
Healing surges 0 + constitution modifier
You get three sets of points to build your bot with. With these points you can add armor on, a weapon, or build in a special ability. The bot functions mechanically like a monster so its powers with have the recharge mechanic associated with them. To balance this powers can't be outrageous.
As you level you gain access to more abilities and get more points to spend on building your bot. You can take off old pieces and devices which gave your Bot special abilities to reclaim them to add on new parts and powers.
Base attack progression and Defence progresion - same as PC's
Basic Stats - Str, Dex, Con
All three abilities start out at 10 and you get 12 points to assign with no one score exceeding 16 as you don't have the knowledge to make your Bot any stronger, quicker, or tougher with your current knowledge.
Add ons - These are devices that you can build onto your Bot to give him static bonuses that are always active. You get 10 points for add on's

Armor Plating - 1 - Armor plating is attached to your Bopt at a cost of 1 point of AC for one addon point. The maximum amount of armor you can put on your Bot where it can still function is 4 points plus 1/2 your tinker level.

Optic Lenses - 1 - You build lenses into the Bots optic receptors enhancing it's ability to hit with ranged attacks by +1 and its perception check by +2.
Hydrolic leg Pistons - 2 - The leg pistons give your bot a +1 to Athletics, +1 to Endurance and make him faster increasing his base speed by 1 square.
Ball Joint Servos - 2 - The servos make your Bot more agile, quieter, and better able to manuver its body. Your Bot gains +1 to acrobatics, +1 to stealth, and +2 to its reflex defence.
