This time, four NPCs in one post! You will have noted that d20 Modern / Future NPCs come at a much slower rate than those for D&D 3.5. The fact is, I will stop the NPCs threads when this one will be at 100 entries. So the other one (D&D 3.5) will probably be at 150 entries by that time.
THE FRAALS
With the ambassador, common technician, guard and strongman, you should have enough characters for most of your encounters with Fraal. No psi-using Fraal have been included however.

#27 - FRAAL (BIOREPLICA) GUARD
Fast/Strong Hero [CR6 / 6th level]; d20 Future
This is at first sight, a typical Fraal guard or soldier. However, Fraal are physically weak and furthermore have a strong distaste for violent brutish activities which may endanger their lives. For this reason, very few Fraal would accept to be a soldier; thus, as they are extremely advanced technologically, they build robots for warfare. Some robots are plain machine, but when encountering other races, they deem that a soldier looking like just another Fraal rather than a machine, would appear less menacing and thus help communication and negotiations.
Starting occupation: None. Allegiance: the Fraal. Reputation: +1 (some rumors pretend they are not living beings).
