With the advent of the multiversal reorganization of the planes, Modrons have a firm place in Mechanus, an Astral dominion comprised of slowly spinning continent-sized cogs of electrum and astral diamond. As a part of the new mythology, I'd like to drive a community effort to redesign the Modrons with 4E in mind (single-functioning modrons). As the originator of this thread, I'll start with the base Monodrone; the messenger and the servile (as a minion). Feel free to add your own versions, or work your way up towards Primus as an Exarch of Erathis! Try to carry over the same immunities I listed for the base modrons, scaling upward by Heroic, Paragon and Epic levels:Immune poison; Resist 5 fire, 5 acid, 5 coldSaving Throws +5 against charm effects  Unofficial Changes to Mechanus in 4E and the ModronsAs Regulus touches the very edge of the Elemental Chaos, I am using abilities that cause the modrons to go "haywire". This is to reflect some of the changes in the multiverse, and give the old-school Modrons some sort of unpredictability (see Regulus Is Amiss). This is a result of the Great Modron March (for you 2nd edition folks), as punishment by Erathis against his exarch Primus.  Erathis "moved" Regulus closer to the Elemental Chaos in the Astral, which has caused some upheaval. Primus and his modrons have steadily became less lawful over time, leaning towards Unaligned with Erathis. Of course, this has given rise to another faction of the Modrons lead by Primus's contemporary, an exarch of Erathis called Secundus who's cold logic drives a great internal war between Regulus and Remus (home of Secundus and the purely Lawful Neutral Modrons). Basically, Primus's modrons in Regulus are developing free will and are Unaligned while Secundus's modrons in Remus are nearly mindless and Lawful Neutral. With the Elemental Chaos influence, Rogue Modrons and even elementally-infused Modrons are definitely a possibility!  <img src="http://images.elfwood.com/art/s/p/spalthoff/modron.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Monodrone Messenger Level 4 SoldierMedium abberant humanoid (living construct) XP 175Initiative +6 Senses Perception +3, DarkvisionHP 56; Bloodied 28; see also regulus is amissAC 20; Fortitude 15, Refl ex 15, Will 17Immune poison; Resist 5 fire, 5 acid, 5 coldSaving Throws +5 against charm effectsSpeed 5; fly 10 (clumsy)mLogical Thrust (standard; at-will) ✦Weapon+9 vs. AC; 1d8 + 4 damage, and the target is marked until theend of the monodrone messenger’s next turn; see also hive mindHive MindThe monodrone messenger gains a +1 bonus to melee attacks if it hasan ally adjacent to the target.Regulus Is Amiss (immediate reaction; when bloodied)The monodrone messenger makes a basic attack against thenearest foe or allyAlignment Any Languages SupernalSkills Endurance +8, Intimidate +7Str 18 (+6) Dex 14 (+4) Wis16 (+5)Con 13 (+3) Int 10 (+2) Cha 10 (+2)Equipment plate armor, light shield, spear  Monodrone Servile Level 4 MinionMedium abberant humanoid (living construct) XP 44Initiative +6 Senses Perception +3, DarkvisionHP 1; a missed attack never damages a minion; see also regulus is amissAC 20; Fortitude 15, Refl ex 15, Will 17Immune poison; Resist 5 fire, 5 acid, 5 coldSaving Throws +5 against charm effectsSpeed 5; climb 7 (spider climb)mLogical Thrust (standard; at-will) ✦Weapon+9 vs. AC; 1d8 + 4 damage, and the target is marked until theend of the monodrone servile’s next turn; see also hive mindHive MindThe monodrone servile gains a +1 bonus to melee attacks if it hasan ally adjacent to the target.Regulus Is Amiss (immediate reaction; when killed)The monodrone servile makes a basic attack against thenearest foe or allyAlignment Any Languages SupernalSkills Endurance +8, Intimidate +7Str 18 (+6) Dex 14 (+4) Wis16 (+5)Con 13 (+3) Int 10 (+2) Cha 10 (+2)Equipment plate armor, light shield, spear</blockquote>
