Cybernetic Drones
Purpose-built for a variety of tasks, drones are technological devices with a measure of autonomy.

Cybernetic Drone Traits
Most cybernetic drones possess the following traits (unless otherwise noted in the creature's entry).

• Wireless Communication (Ex): Drones can communicate with other creatures with the wireless communication ability telepathically and as though they shared a common language. Both creatures must be within range of the other to communicate with each other. Most drones can communicate out to 100 feet this way.

_________________________________________
Interceptor drones are designed for harassment and swarm tactics. An individual interceptor is barely a threat to trained and equipped soldiers, and is little more than a nuisance to standard military hardware. Larger groups, however, can cause significant damage. Interceptors are commonly deployed in groups of 4 to 8 in combat situations.
Pulse Cannon (Su) Interceptors can attack their enemies with a short ranged blast of kinetic energy as a standard action. Treat this as a ranged attack that deals 1d4 points of bludgeoning damage, with a maximum range of 30 feet. As a supernatural ability, pulse cannon ignores damage reduction and can damage incorporeal creatures.
Strafe (Ex) As a full-round action, and interceptor can move up to half its speed and make a single pulse cannon attack at any point during the movement. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Battlefield Treatment Medical probes have the battlefield treatment ability of a 4th-level medic.
Deathwatch (Su) Medical probes can rapidly analyze the status of nearby living beings. They instantly know whether each creature within 30 feet is dead, fragile (alive and wounded, with 3 or fewer hit points left), fighting off death (alive with 4 or more hit points but less than half of maximum), healthy (at least half of maximum hit points), undead, or neither alive nor dead (such as a construct). Deathwatch sees through any spell or ability that allows creatures to feign death.
Poison Injury, Fortitude DC 12, initial damage 1d4 Str, secondary damage 1d4 Con. The save DC is Constitution-based. A medical probe can inject the victim of a successful slam attack with a mild poison as a free action. If removed from the medical probe, this poison loses its potency after 1 hour. A medical probe can only store up to 5 doses of its poison at a time, but it can synthesize more in the field at a rate of 1 dose every 4 hours.

Relay drones are notable only for their ability to coordinate drones over long distances. While they can still only communicate with most other drones at a distance of 100 feet, relays can contact each other up to 5 miles apart, allowing messages and commands to be passed across great distances. As mobile communication platforms, they have little direct combat ability.

Turrets
Turrets are automated defense systems. While their intended function is very similar to that of a simple trap, turrets are built with or linked to an artificial sentience of some sort. Independent turrets usually have no more that simple IFF programming, but those that are linked into larger defense networks are usually controlled remotely by a powerful, sentient computer entity.

Turret Traits
Most turrets possess the following traits (unless otherwise noted in the creature's entry).

• Built-In Weaponry: Most turrets include some sort of projectile weapon built into their structure. A turret is proficient with its built-in weapons, and can wield and reload them despite its lack of limbs. Much like natural weapons, these weapons cannot be disarmed or otherwise removed, and they cannot be damaged or sundered separately from the turret itself. Built-in weapons can be salvaged from a destroyed turret, however.
  
• Emplaced: Turrets are usually built into the surrounding fortifications. Until they are destroyed, they cannot move or be moved from their space separately from the object, vehicle, or structure to which they are attached. Even magical movement and teleportation is ineffective. Some turrets have a limited ability to move across the surface of the fortification to which they are attached. Smaller, portable turrets are built entirely separately from other fortifications; these units can be moved normally and may even have their own basic propulsion systems.
  
  Because emplaced turrets are immovable, certain attack forms function differently against them. An emplaced turret cannot be knocked prone. Bull rush, overrun, and trip attempts against them automatically fail. A turret can be grappled, but not pinned, and remains grappled only while the grapple remains in its space; consequently, a creature with Improved Grab cannot pull the turret into its space and must move into the turret's space in order to maintain the grapple. A turret cannot be swallowed whole. A turret can be engulfed, but only while the engulfing creature occupies its space.
  
  An emplaced turret must be constructed at the location it is to be emplaced. Some of the work may be done elsewhere, but the construction must be completed at the emplacement location.
  
  An emplaced turret attached to a vehicle uses that vehicle's effective Dexterity score.
  
• Hive Mind (Ex): While most turrets possess a basic artificial sentience, they can still be coordinated by an even stronger computer mind. All allied turrets within wireless communication range of each other, including indirectly through other turrets in the hive mind network, are connected. If one is aware of a particular danger, they all are. If one in a network is not flat-footed, none of them are. No turret in a network is considered flanked unless all of them are.
  
• Wireless Communication (Ex): Turrets can communicate with other creatures with the wireless communication ability telepathically and as though they shared a common language. Both creatures must be within range of the other to communicate with each other. Most turrets can communicate out to 100 feet this way.

_________________________________________
Autoturrets are among the simplest of turret designs. They can be found as part of larger fortifications, although they are just as frequently used in the field through their portable version. Autoturrets include a built-in ranged weapon of some sort, frequently a nanorifle, although other variants exist. An autoturret can store several thousand rounds of ammunition within its chassis, allowing it to operate in the field for extended periods without resupply.
   Portable autoturrets are not emplaced. They do, however, employ a stable base, at the minimum a tripod, which grants them bonuses against being bull rushed, overrun, or tripped as normal.

A big bertha is a massive tower of guns, missiles, and explosives controlled by a military-grade AI. A single big bertha can manage the automated defenses of an entire military base, and provide supporting fire across all of it. Finding a big bertha alone is a rarity. Most often they are accompanied by a slew of other, smaller turrets with synergistic capabilities that can make up for the big bertha's vulnerabilities.
Close Combat Shot (Ex) A big bertha does not provoke attacks of opportunity for making ranged attacks while threatened in melee.
Extra Attachment (Ex) A big bertha can attach up to two modules to each of its sockets.
Modular Assault (Ex) Once per round when a big bertha makes a full attack, it gains a standard action that it can only use to use an ability of one of its active modules.
Oversized Multiweapon Fighting (Ex) A big bertha suffers no additional penalties on its attack rolls for using non-light weapons in its offhands.
Rapid Repair (Ex) A big bertha automatically repairs itself when performing light or no activity at a rate of 10 hp per hour.

Guardian turrets are effective at protecting choke points and fortified locations. While a turret's built-in nanoshotgun allows it to provide some point defense on its own, a guardian turret works best as a force multiplier, providing support for other turrets and defenders.
Resistance Field (Su) This ability is an energy receptacle. Allies within 30 feet of a guardian turret (including the turret itself) gain resistance to one type of energy (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic) equal to 5 x the amount of energy allocated. The turret can change the type of energy damage this protects against as part of reallocating its energy.

Cybernetic Dragon template
Cybernetic dragons are dragons that have been rebuilt stronger and faster through technology. The cybernetics that a cybernetic dragon employs draws on the natural arcane energies that the dragon produces, further empowering them but supplanting and replacing most of the dragon's inherent spellcasting abilities.

Creating a Cybernetic Dragon
"Cybernetic dragon" is an acquired template that can be added to any true dragon.

Size and Type: A cybernetic dragon has the cybernetic subtype, in addition to its existing subtypes.

Special Attacks: A cybernetic dragon retains its the special attacks of the base creature.

Special Qualities: A cybernetic dragon has all the special qualities of the base creature, plus the following special qualities.

• Cybernetic Endurance (Su) This ability is an energy receptacle. The cybernetic dragon gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC and a +1 resistance bonus to all saves for each point of energy allocated to this ability.
  
• Cybernetic Power (Su) This ability is an energy receptacle. Each of the cybernetic dragon's natural attacks gains a +1 enhancement bonus per point of energy allocated to this ability.
  
• Cybernetic Speed (Su) This ability is an energy receptacle. The cybernetic dragon gains a +2 insight bonus to initiative checks per point of energy allocated to this ability, and a +10 foot enhancement bonus to all movement speeds per point of energy allocated.
  
• Energy Pool A cybernetic dragon gains one extra point of energy for each age category it possesses.
  

Spellcasting and Manifesting: A cybernetic dragon loses any natural spellcasting or manifesting ability is has by virtue of its age category. However, these powers are not completely lost, as they enhance its activating ability (see below). The dragon's spell-like abilities and psi-like abilities are retained.

Activating: A cybernetic dragon that had any natural spellcasting or manifesting ability gains the ability to activate modules. The dragon gains the same number of active modules, energy pool, and maximum socket attachments as an Energy Warrior of its lost spellcaster or manifester level, and access to sockets as a cyberneticist of the same level. The cybernetic dragon draws its modules from the cyberneticist module list; it knows and can activate any module from that list. A cybernetic dragon uses half its natural effective activating class level plus half its racial hit dice as its effective levels in activating classes when determining its activator level, in addition to levels in other classes.

Activating A cybernetic dragon that had any natural spellcasting or manifesting ability gains the ability to activate modules. The dragon gains the same number of active modules, energy pool, and maximum socket attachments as an Energy Warrior of its lost spellcaster or manifester level, and access to sockets as a cyberneticist of the same level. The cybernetic dragon draws its modules from the cyberneticist module list; it knows and can activate any module from that list. This dragon has 5th-level activating abilities. A cybernetic dragon uses half its natural effective activating class level plus half its racial hit dice as its effective levels in activating classes when determining its activator level, in addition to levels in other classes.
Breath Weapon (Su) Using a breath weapon is a standard action. Once a dragon breathes, it can’t breathe again until 1d4 rounds later. A red dragon has one type of breath weapon, a 50 ft. cone of fire. 10d10 damage, Reflex DC 24 half. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Cybernetic Endurance (Su) This ability is an energy receptacle. The cybernetic dragon gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC and a +1 resistance bonus to all saves for each point of energy allocated to this ability.
Cybernetic Power (Su) This ability is an energy receptacle. Each of the cybernetic dragon's natural attacks gains a +1 enhancement bonus per point of energy allocated to this ability.
Cybernetic Speed (Su) This ability is an energy receptacle. The cybernetic dragon gains a +2 insight bonus to initiative checks per point of energy allocated to this ability, and a +10 foot enhancement bonus to all movement speeds per point of energy allocated.
Energy Pool A cybernetic dragon gains one extra point of energy for each age category it possesses (5).
Frightful Presence (Ex) A young adult or older dragon can unsettle foes with its mere presence. The ability takes effect automatically whenever the dragon attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 150 feet are subject to the effect if they have fewer HD than the dragon. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a Will save (DC 21) remains immune to that dragon’s frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Dragons ignore the frightful presence of other dragons. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Keen Senses (Ex) A dragon sees four times as well as a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet.
