Replicants are strange constructs, built to do little more than reproduce. Originally devised by an artificer planning to build an instant army on the cheap, his plan was foiled by an unforseen complication. Replicants made by other Replicants were less loyal than their progenitors, and their designs were often far inferior to the original. He got his army, but it was of no use. However, for those with somewhat less ambitious goals, Replicants have proven themselves to be useful and, of course, cheap. Replicants have a metallic, spherical body 3 ft. in diameter supported by six spindly legs. Two lense-like eyes and a pair of whirring, clockwork-like mandibles form the Replicant’s “face”.
Superior Tactics (Ex)
A Replicant gains a +4, rather than +2, bonus on attack rolls made against an enemy flanked by another Replicant.
Replicate (Su)
Replicants can create other Replicants. Doing so requires a Replicant first gather 50 gp worth of raw iron, though it need not assemble it into a body. The process of creation is erratic when performed by a Replicant, taking 1d4+1 days to complete. Regardless of the HD of the creator Replicant, the created Replicant only has ½ a HD and is completely average for its kind, disregarding any flaws it may have. The newly created Replicant is loyal to the creator of the Replicant that made it, though there is a chance for disobedience. While any hand-built replicant is utterly and mindlessly loyal to its creator, replicant-made replicants, while still serving their creator’s creator, are not so loyal. For every degree of separation between a Replicant and its master, there is a 10% chance it will ignore any order given to it. Thus, a 2nd generation Replicant has a 10% chance to disobey orders, a 7th generation replicant has a 60% chance to disobey orders, and an 11th generation replicant disobeys any order given to it. In addition, there is a chance the new Replicant is imperfectly created. Roll a d% and consult the table to see if this happens and the exact manner of the flaw. In addition to the rolled flaws, any flaws in the creator Replicant are passed down to any Replicant it creates.

Creating a Replicant
The body of a Replicant is made from 25 pounds of iron, worth 25 sp. Assembling the body of the Replicant requires a DC 12 Craft (Armorsmithing or Weaponsmithing) check. An Replicant with more than ½ a Hit Dice can be created, but advancing it to 1 HD adds +1,000 gp to the creation cost and each additional HD adds +2,000 gp to the cost to create.
CL 9th. Craft Construct, cat’s grace, fabricate. Cost 302.5 gp + 24 xp. Price 600 gp.
