Damn good adaptations."Iron birds of fortuneAdrift above the skiesCloudy revelationsUnseen by naked eyesFlying tools of tormentWill penetrate the sphereErupt the rock of agesBringing final fear."-'Instruments of Destruction', Animated Transformers OST.<img src="http://tn3-2.deviantart.com/fs17/300W/f/2007/160/2/a/Geewun_Movie_Optimus_Concept_by_hansime.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />TRANSFORMERS'Transformers' is the street name given in Coreline to the living robots from Cybertron. Valiant Autobots, Destructive Decepticons, and the occasional 'innocent bystander' (if one can call 'em THAT) Cybertronian, most have come to Earth looking for a new life.They are as diverse as the regular human, and one thing is certain: they truly are more than meets the eye.RACIAL STATS:Size: Transformers can range in size from Small to Colossal, though they are generally in the Large to Gargantuan range. Their ability adjustments and base land speed are based on size.Ability Adjustments:Small: Str -4, Dex +8, Con +2,Medium: Dex +4, Con +2,Large: Str +4, Dex -2, Con +4Huge: Str +8, Dex -4, Con +4Gargantuan: Str +12, Dex -6, Con +6Colossal: Str +16, Dex -8, Con +6Speed:Small: 20ft Medium: 30ftLarge: 40ftHuge: 50ftGargantuan: 60ftColossal: 70ftType: Construct <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/glossary&term=Glossary_dnd_livingconstructsubtype&alpha=" target="_blank">(Living construct)</a> As living Machines Transformers combine aspects of both constructs and living creatures, as detailed below.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A living construct derives its Hit Dice, base attack bonus progression, saving throws, and skill points from the class it selects.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unlike other constructs, a living construct has a Constitution score. A living construct does not gain bonus hit points by size but gains (or loses) bonus hit points through a Constitution bonus (or penalty) as with other living creatures. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unlike other constructs, a living construct does not have darkvision. Unlike other living constructs, a Cybertronian does have low-light vision. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unlike other constructs, a living construct is not immune to mind-influencing effects. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, disease, nausea, fatigue, exhaustion, and energy drain. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A living construct cannot heal damage naturally. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unlike other constructs, living constructs are subject to critical hits, effects requiring a Fort save, death from massive damage, nonlethal damage, stunning, ability damage, ability drain, and death effects or necromancy effects. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unlike other constructs, a living construct can use the run action. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Living constructs can be affected by spells that target living creatures as well as by those that target constructs. Damage dealt to a living construct can be healed by a cure light wounds spell or a repair light damage spell, for example, and a living construct is vulnerable to a harm spell. However, spells from the healing subschool provide only half effect to a living construct. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A living construct responds slightly differently from other living creatures when reduced to 0 hit points. A living construct with 0 hit points is disabled, just like a living creature. He can only take a single move action or standard action in each round, but strenuous activity does not risk further injury. When his hit points are less than 0 and greater than -10, a living construct is inert. He is unconscious and helpless, and he cannot perform any actions. However, an inert living construct does not lose additional hit points unless more damage is dealt to him, as with a living creature that is stable. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Can be raised or resurrected. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, but can still benefit from the effects of consumable spells and magic items such as heroes' feast and potions. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Does not need to sleep, but must rest for 8 hours before preparing spells. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cybertronians can be repaired using the Repair skill. A successful Repair check (DC 30) heals 1d10 points of damage, and each check represents 1 hour of work. A Cybertronian may make the repair check on themselves.</li> </ul>Spark: Transformers have been imbued with life by the AllSpark. This gives them, in effect, a 'soul' or spirit. They can master powers of Arcane, Divine, or Psionic origin just as easily as any other life form.Transformation: Transformers have an innate ability to transform into some vehicle-based form. This is a purely mechanical transformation, and parts required for its vehicle form are visible in its normal bipedal form.As a standard action, a Transformer may assume into its chosen form or back again. While transformed, they lose any attacks that require appendages (although they may keep any ranged weapons that are mounted on weapons mounts). At first level a Transformer chooses a civilian vehicle of the same size category as it’s base form. A Transformer becomes a standard version of the vehicle, but may later add gear (such as mounted weapons.) Whenever a Transformer would gain a new feat due to hit die, it may also change it’s vehicle form, so long as the new vehicle is of the same size category as it’s base form. While in vehicle form they use all of the stats of the chosen vehicle form with the following exceptions: The Transformer keeps it’s own hit points, class defense bonus to armor class, and treats the listed vehicle’s hardness as Damage Reduction /-. A Transformer also retains any benefit from it’s feats or class talents (such as a fast hero’s increased speed or a tough hero’s damage reduction.)While in vehicle form the Transformer follows all rules for vehicle movement, maneuvers, and stunts. The Transformer is treated as it’s own driver, but may relinquish (or regain) control to a passenger in the driver’s position as a free action once per round.Skill Bonuses: All Transformers gain a +5 species bonus to Drive and Pilot as well as a +2 bonus to Disguise and Bluff. A Transformer is naturally capable of maneuvering it’s self  and is can easily disguise it’s self as a mundane vehicle.Free Language Skills: Read/Write Cybertronian, Read/Write English.Other Languages: AnyTemperature Damage: Transformers are vulnerable to temperature extremes. They obtain double damage from cold and hot-based attacks that reach -30 degrees and 500+ degrees, respectively (more accurately, liquid nitrogen and thermite).Level Adjustment:  By size.Small & Medium: +2Large: +3Huge: +4Gargantuan: +5Colossal: +6TRANSFORMER RACIAL FEATS:Tougher Stuff [Transformer]You’re a little tougher than the restPrereq: Two other Transformer Feats, BAB +11, Transformation special abilityBenefit: You retain half of your vehicle form’s DR (rounded down) while in your normal form.

While in animal form you gain the Natural Armor bonus, Strength score, Dexterity score, Movement types and speeds, Natural Weapons, and any Special Qualities that do not derive a Save DC from Constitution.
