It is made of a spyglass magically melded into a solid perfect steel orb. Two slender appendages made out of pipes form the creature’s arms, each ending with a three-digit pincer.Arcane drones are little construct creatures designed to help their creators in various tasks. They are so convenient that many spellcasters create many drones in order to speed up their work.    An arcane drone is about 1 foot in diameter and weighs around 15 lbs. An arcane drone can speak one language plus one additional language that its creator knows up to its Intelligence bonus. The voice seems to come out of the “inside” of its body.CombatAn arcane drone was not created for melee. While its tool-hands can inflict damage, they are weak, and thus the drone prefers to run and hide when confronted.Flight (Su): A drone’s flight is supernatural. If suppressed, the drone falls and must move by crawling at a speed of 5 feet. It can still attack and use any other abilities.Long sight (Ex): Thanks to the spyglass, a drone can see up to twice the normal range of sight for a human.Skill assistance (Ex): A drone can aid another creature, including another drone to make a certain skill check. A drone grants a +5 bonus to the creature’s check, and each additional drone grants a cumulative +1 bonus to that check. An arcane drone can assist a creature for: Craft (any), Disable Device, Escape Artist, Forgery, Heal, Open Lock, Profession (any), Search, Spot, Use Magic Device and Use Rope.An arcane drone can only assist in tasks related to skills it has spent skills points on at creation. This drone presented here has skill points in Craft [any], Profession [any] and Use Magic Device. In the case of Craft and Profession, the drone’s creator select one.Skills* : The long sight ability grants the drone a +10 bonus to Spot check.ConstructionAn arcane drone’s body must be sculpted from a single block of steel weighing at least 10 pounds, treated with rare oils and powders worth 1,500 gp. A spyglass, worth 1,000 gp, must then be merged when sculpting. Creating the body requires a DC 15 Craft (blacksmith) check.CL 11th; Craft Construct, animate objects, fly, tongues, unseen servant, caster must be at least 11th level; Price 2,000 gp; Cost 2,50 gp + 80 XP.Arcane drone as a familiar or homunculusAn arcane drone can called as a familiar by a 3rd-level spellcaster with the Improved Familiar feat.
