SPECIAL ABILITIES

Reprogram Terrain (Ex)

Three times per day as an action that takes 1 full round, a terraformer can release a cloud of nanites that can manipulate up to 20 cubic feet of organic material such as sand, earth, or stone.

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”>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 reshaped, raising or lowering any area of the surface by up to 12 feet; water level in the area is raised or lowered by up to 12 feet; plants in the area either grow rapidly, creating difficult terrain and doubling agricultural productivity, or halving their total mass and agricultural productivity; 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.

Poison

Type poison (inhaled); Save Fortitude DC 17; Frequency 1/round for 6 rounds;

Effect 1d3 Constitution damage; Cure 2 consecutive saves.

ECOLOGY

Environment any
Organization solitary, pair, or team (3–10)

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.
