Description.
Background.
Combat
Tactics.
All-Around Vision (Ex): The sensory organs on all sides of a decaton allow it to look in any direction, bestowing a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks. Opponents gain no flanking bonuses when attacking a decaton.
Coordinated Ally (Ex): Modrons work exceptionally well with other lawful allies. When successfully aided on a skill check or attack roll by a lawful-aligned ally, or when aiding another awfully aligned creature, they apply or gain a +3 bonus on their checks or attack rolls (instead of the normal +2 bonus). Furthermore, modrons gain a +4 bonus on attack rolls against an opponent flanked by a lawful-aligned ally (instead of the normal +2 bonus).
Fixed Initiative (Ex): Modrons are rigid in their actions, even in the most chaotic situations. As a result, a modron's initiative is always equal to half its Hit Dice plus its Dexterity modifier or other modifiers (like Improved Initiative). When combat begins, a modron uses this number as its initiative—it never rolls an initiative check.
Living Construct Traits: Immune to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, disease, nausea, fatigue, exhaustion, and energy drain. Cannot heal damage naturally. Subject to stunning, ability damage, and ability drain. Subject to spells that target either constructs or living creatures.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—clairaudience/clairvoyance, command, dimension door, heal, healing circle, remove disease, remove paralysis, teleport without error (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), and wall of force. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 10th-level sorcerer (save DC 1# + spell level).
Spells: A decaton casts divine spells as a 10th-level cleric (save DC 1# + spell level). It has access to the domains of Law, Protection, and War.
