SPECIAL ABILITIES

Poison (Ex)

Breath weapon—inhaled; save Fort DC 15; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d3 Con; cure 2 consecutive saves.

Reprogram Terrain (Ex)

Three times per day as an action that takes 1 full round, a terraformer can release a cloud of nanites that mimics the effects of one of the following spells, using the terraformer’s Hit Dice as the caster level: expeditious excavation, soften earth and stone, or stone shape.

Terraform (Ex)

Ten terraformers working in tandem can create remarkable effects over long periods of time, causing permanent changes to the local environment. The robots must maintain line of effect to each other, and each must be within 1 mile of one other terraformer. If they do this for a period of at least 2 weeks, one of the following effects (robots’ choice) occurs in a 1-mile radius: the terrain is shaped as per move earth; water in the area is altered as per control water; plants in the area are affected as per either plant growth or diminish plants; or the average temperature in the area is raised or lowered by 10° Fahrenheit.

Technological Wonders (Ex)

Effects from a terraformer’s abilities are non-magical in nature, and can’t be identified, dispelled, or affected by effects that can affect only spells.

The duration of these effects never expires.

ECOLOGY

Environment any
Organization solitary, pair, or team (3–10)
Treasure none

Terraformer robots are sent to planets to pave the way for military bases, trading outposts, or settlements. A planet designated as a waystation might require only a few robots, but those marked for permanent habitation might have their skies darkened by hordes of terraformers, forming a hovering lattice around the globe.
