The Modrons have become rarely seen players in the multiverse as of late, secluding themselves within Regulus. And yet, they have not ceased their work. Lately, specialized constructs with all the hallmarks of Modron design have been seen roaming the universe, analyzing its laws. The Cupilexi are one such kind of construct. They were designed to examine and analyze the laws that govern the desires and wants of mortal beings. They insinuate themselves within society to learn the motive behind everything: why the paladin wants to help the poor, why the succubus wants to seduce the innocent, and why the tarrasque wants to eat are all equally valid questions to a Cupilex. Mortal spellcasters have taken to copying the Cupilexi for their own purposes, using them as spies or seductresses. Cupilexi resemble stylized, construct versions of elves, and often have a curving, slightly feminine chassis.
Laws of Desire (Su)
A Cupilex can manipulate the laws governing mortal wants and desires to toy with the emotions of a creature. It may make a suggestion, as the spell (caster level 9th), to a creature by interacting with it for a minute and making a successful DC 25 Knowledge (The Planes) check. It may attempt to dominate a creature, as dominate person, except that any creature type may be dominated, by interacting with a creature for a minute and making a successful DC 30 Knowledge (The Planes) check. Both save DC’s are 21. The saves are Charisma based.
Construction
The body of a Cupilex is made from one ton of metal mined from Mechanus, worth 5,000 gp. Assembling the body requires a DC 15 Craft (Armorsmithing or Weaponsmithing) check and a DC 15 Knowledge (The Planes) check.
CL 9th. Craft Construct, dominate person, magic circle against chaos, suggestion. Cost 6,750 gp + 540 xp. Price 13,500 gp.
