[QUOTE="Sollir Furryfoot, post: 1798273, member: 748"] I'm still working on the stats for my technologist, but here are a few of my gadget ideas. I decided to go for a sort of ice-theme, which should be apparent after reading a few of my devices (I'm afraid I suck at the technological writeups, though, heh): Invention #21 [Ice Ray Gun] Gadget [?, Cold] Activation Time: 1 standard action Range Increment: 20 feet Effect: One or more rays Base Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Activation Cost: ? points Weight: X lbs. Invention #21 is a device forged from cold iron, designed to fit around one's wrist as a bracer would. Half an inch under it's tough outer shell lies a complex chamber that generates and stores an energy derived from studying the plane of water. Attached to the top of the device appears to be a thin strip of metal with a diamond attached to the end facing away from the gauntlet's user. A complicated transformational process is used to conduct the energy and shape it into a ray that comes out of the metal strip. This device has an effect similar to that of Scorching Ray, except as above and it deals cold damage instead. Invention #22 [Remote Control] ? Invention #22 physically appears as Invention #21 except it is perfectly smooth all around. In truth, this device has little in common with its predecessor, instead functioning as a sort of remote control for other devices. There is a hidden compartment on the top of the bracer that can be pushed and slid inside, revealing about a dozen or so buttons. This device is used in junction with devices #23 and #24, with the capability to be upgraded and used with other inventions. Invention #23 [Mechanical Servant] Gadget [?] Activation Time: 1 free action Range Increment: Special Effect: Small mechanical servant Base Duration: 1 minute Saving Throw: None Activation Cost: ? points Weight: ? lbs. This device appears to be a metallic sphere with a glowing blue diamond in its center as an "eye", along with 6 iron protrusions, three from the top and three on the bottom that appear to make it look like some weird sort of spider. Created for combat, this creature is activated by Device #22, forming a sheathe of ice around itself and taking flight when called upon. Mechanical Servant (#23): CR 2; Small-size Construct; HD 2d10; hp 11; Init +2; Spd Fly 30 ft (perfect); AC 17 (+1 size, +2 dex, +4 natural); Melee None; Ranged Frost ray (touch) +4 (2d6 cold); SA Frost ray; SQ Construct traits, ice sheath, immunity to cold; AL N; SV Fort +0 Ref +1 Will +0 Str 1, Dex 14, Con -, Int -, Wis 11, Cha 1. Skills and Feats: None; None. Frost Ray (?): A mechanical servant's frost rays have a range of 30 feet. Ice Sheath (?): A mechanical servant can, once per hour as a free action, form around itself a shield made of ice, making them look like a floating crystal. This has the effect equivilant to the [i]Aid[/i] spell, using its owner's technologist level as the caster level, except it affects only the Mechanical Servant. (above based off of the stats of a Lantern Archon) More to come later (Left to go: Gloves which form a barrier of force, Shoulderpads which are magnetic and attract metal weapons/projectiles to them, Warding Stones which are little orbs that can be set loose to fly around my technologist ala ioun stones and intercept attacks, Boots which release a cold material that freezes quickly and forms a Grease-like effect and also allow its wearer to walk on it as if it were normal ground, mines that when activated shoots a 5 ft. shard of ice from the top, forming something similar to a stalagmite (or whichever stone formation comes out of the ground)...)
