Some Technomancers concern themselves more with building robots and machinery to serve them, sacrificing magical potency for loyal machines.
Robotic Companion
Instead of forming a bond with a Foci, the Robotics Scientist instead specializes in the creation of intelligent machines and AI. They use this to create a work of their own - their very own, customize-able robot.
This robot is always considered to be 4 levels lower than the Robotics Scientist (to a minimum of 1st level), and lacks an Endurance score and instead has the following stat layout; 8, 6, 4, 2, 2, 1. It can be from Size 1 to Size 4 (Robotics Specialist's choice), and is proficient with Simple weapons. It has a land speed of 6 squares.
If this robot would be destroyed in combat, the Robotics Scientist can create a new one the next day.
This replaces Technomancer's Foci.
Mechanical Upgrades
A Robotics Specialist is capable of upgrading their works so they perform better, and granting unique and special abilities to them. They gain three upgrades at 2nd level, and gain a new upgrade at every even level thereafter. These upgrades can be applied retroactively to their robot once a new upgrade is gained.
Weapon Proficiency: The robot gains Weapon Proficiency in a single weapon group or single exotic weapon.
