[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9677773, member: 6802378"] Your splatterpunk constructs have me remember the lictors and other creatures with biomechanical traits from the RPG Kult: Lost Divinity. My idea of D&D cenobites is closer to the chain devils or kytons, although the velstracs from Pathfinder are also an interesting option. My idea is when Vecna caused the reboot of the D&D multiverse some zones were affected partially. The guild of the chronomancers were saved because they were within certain demiplanes created to avoid the possible effects of time paradoxes. Other areas were left relatively unscathed because they were under time dragons' regional effects (althought this was not intentional). After this the time dragons were "nerferd" or at least a weaker bloodline appeared. The oard (from the adventure "where the chaos reign") could avoid the "reboot" but later they started to suffer a planar invasion of sheens, biomechanical horrors and they are too busy for a long time (and later they were "visited" by the Phyrexians). The "overseers" (It is not a spoiler if I see they are the antagonists from "Tale of the Comet) were affected. Those machines started a rebelion against their creators, the Kir, but this time the strategy was different. The overseers caused a new civil war in the kir world, and then they took the opportunity to escape using a teletransportation technology that didn't work with biological beings. The Rael were "warned" and they tried to avoid the overseers could be reactivated accidentally. The raels could save their world and civilitation but not to avoid the war because the overseers were reactivated accidentally by sheens during a planar incursion. The fact is a group of "oard" (D&D borgs-like) were attacked and "converted" by sheens, creating a rogue group that was more willing to use magitek. This group started to investigate and they discover the way to use cloning technology to create neuronal tissues for biotechno supercomputers, and the best DNA to create these superbrains were.... the dragons, specially the gem and time dragons. In the begining dragons didn't realise because no coin from their threasures was stolen, only to pick up any fallen scales or eggshells. Later those dragons started to feel something like a "spiritual brother", some type of telepatic link with those biocomputers. Other unexpected consequence those biocomputers could cause some time regional effects. Those biocomputers had got their own spirtis, and believe me, a biocomputer with DNA from gem dragons could use psionic powers. The "oardsheens" who created biocomputers with DNA from time dragons were affected in a different way, mutating, or evolutionating toward time-dragonborns. The guild of chronomancers faced these "oardsheens" and after some confrotations eggs of time dragonborn were found. The time dragonborns from these eggs were adopted by the chronomancers and actually they are loyal members of the guilds. These "time cybebrains" were created with the intetion to create "space-time bubles" where they weren't affected by the timeline distortions caused by enemy time-travelers, but these coudn't work completely well. This the the origin of the "anomalies", collateral damages in confrotations of biocomputers with the power to wrap reality. [/QUOTE]
