Modron Castes

Will edit for increased readability sometime tomorrow. Will also post what artwork I have (a scaling chart. I'm not an artist, so it's extremely simple, but I think it helps). Final submission will consist of this data in tables, arranged much like a character sheet.

Modron Traits
●Darkvision 60ft
●Immune to mind effecting effects, critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, and energy drain
●Exception to above: As an exception to the normal rules governing these things, modrons are vulnerable to precision based damage, such as that inflicted by a rogue's sneak attack. Chaotically aligned creatures may also deal critical hits as normal.
●Run at 3x base speed, can run during overland travel (remember, they don’t get tired).
●Energy Resistance: acid, cold, and fire(5, +5/2.5 levels, rounded up [i.e., after 3, then after 2, then after 3, then after 2, ect])
●Energy Immunity: electricity
●DR=HD, vulnerable to Chaos, Karach, Entropium, and Magic in various combinations. Changes every 3.5 Hierarchy levels, rounded up. So: Mono-Quadrones: Chaos, Karach, Entropium, or Magic. Penta-Heptadrons: Chaos, Karach, or Entropium. Octa-hendecadrones: Chaos and Karach or Chaos and Entropium. Decatons: +Epic.
●Natural Armor = HD
●SR=10+HD
●All attacks count as Lawful aligned
●Recieves a masterwork bonus on natural attacks equal to ½ hierarchy level, rounded down.
●A modron is proficient with all weapons mentioned in its entry, plus all weapons mentioned in the entries of lower caste modrons. Weapons do not upgrade when a modron promotes, so a Quadrone promoted from a Tridrone mid-battle will be armed with a Tridrone’s three short swords rather than a Quadrone’s three long swords.
●Always receives max HP for first HD
●Mental Scores = to HD + Bonus
Bonus = 1-2HD +3, 3-6HD +6, 7-14HD +9, 15-30HD +12
≥31HD Mental scores = 46+1 per 4HD over 31
●Physical Scores = to 10+Heirarchy level

Tridrone (Tri Functional Laborers) Typically, a tridrone receives a general order, then divides the objective into smaller tasks that can be completed by duodrones. Tridrones are capable of reporting actions and observations, as well as actually planning limited objectives on the battlefield.

Whirlwind attack: One claw or Shotsword attack to all targets in range
Special Qualities: All Around Vision(Ex): With its three eyes, a tridrone can see in all directions at once. Because of this, it gains a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks and cannot be flanked.
Superior Multiweapon Fighting(Ex): A tridrone does not suffer multiweapon penalties, each attack uses its full attack bonus. However, its arms are not long enough, and it can't pivot fast enough, to direct all three attacks into the same arc. A tridrone can strike the one target with up to two attacks, but the third attack must then be made against a target on the other side of the tridrone.
Superior Form(Ex): Claws +1 mwk
Alchemical Darts(Ex): The alchemical darts function in Antimagic fields and magic dead areas, but require a certain amount of liquid water to be present in target in order to be effective. Against dessicated targets like mummies, Skeletons, and Stone Golems, the darts do not deal their acid and fire damage. Not that the darts function just fine against undead and golems which are not particularly dessicated (like Zombies, Vampires, and Clay Golems).
The dangers of too much water: Taking a dart out of its sheath and immersing it in water ruins it. The holder must make a DC 10 Reflex save or suffer the dart's energy damage.

Special Qualities:
Partial All Around Vision(Ex): A quadrone can see in all directions at once thanks to the array of mirrors and such that redirect its vision, but this is not as effective as actually having eyes on all faces. Because of this, it gains a +2 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks and if flanked its flankers gain only a +1 bonus rather than the usual +2 flanking bonus.

Superior Multiweapon Fighting(Ex): A quadrone does not suffer multiweapon penalties. Its arms are also long enough, and it can pivot fast enough, to let it direct all its attacks against one target if it so desires. A Quadrone armed with two bows may use its full attack progression on both bows.

Special Qualities: All Around Vision(Ex): With its five eyes, a pentadrone can see in all directions at once. Because of this, it gains a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks and cannot be flanked.

Breath Weapon(Ex): Usable once every 1d4 minutes. A Pentadrone rolls to see how many minutes it must wait before actually using the breath weapon. If it is not happy with the results, it may take some other action that round and try again next round. 30ft Cone of gas (paralyze 2d4 rounds, Fort DC 16 [10+4HD+2con]). Can't be used while the pentadrone is recovering from the use of its breath weapon ray.

Endure Extreme Elements(Ex): Pentadrones can survive in virtually any environment, withstanding temperature extremes from -100°F to 210°F without discomfort.

Breath Weapon hover(Ex): A pentadrone may use its breath weapon to hover. When used in this manner, the gas has no harmful effects. A pentadrone may hover indefinitly using this ability, but may not use its breath weapon to attack until five rounds after it stops hovering. Can't be used while the pentadrone is recovering from another use of its breath weapon.

Special Qualities: Superior Multiweapon Fighting(Ex): A heptadrone does not suffer multiweapon penalties. A heptadrone can also easily pivot and attack fast enough to direct all its attacks against one target.
Endure Extreme Elements(Ex): Heptadrones can survive in virtually any environment, withstanding temperature extremes from -100°F to 210°F without discomfort.
All Around Vision(Ex): With its many visual sensors, an octadrone can see in all directions at once. Because of this, it gains a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks and cannot be flanked.
Blindsight(Su/Ex): With its diverse array of sensors, an octadrone has 60ft blindsight. Because of this, it gains a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks and cannot be flanked and does not normally need to make Spot or listen checks to notice things in range of its blindsight. It can also sense invisible creatures. The octadrones' blindsight is dependent on magic, hearing, scent, and electrodetection. Interfering with any one of these factors reduces this trait to blindsense. Interfering with any two removes it. The Grell entry in the Book of Aberrations has some info on how to disrupt electrodetection.
Scent(Ex): As noted above, an octadrone has a very acute sense of smell.

Special Qualities: Really Tall(Ex): An octadrone's long, spindly legs make it much taller than other creatures of its body size. An octadrone essentially occupies two 10 foot cubes (rather than the normal one), one on top of the other. An octadrone's legs have DR 25/Chaos and Entropium or Chaos and Karach, DR 10/-, and occupy the bottom 10 foot cube. Damage dealt to the legs is not subtracted from the octadrone's hp. Once 63 damage has been dealt to the legs, the octadrone falls prone (and takes up only one 10 foot cube) and its movement rate falls to 5 ft/round. Damage to the legs may be repaired by cure spells cast on them. If an octadrone is knocked prone by damage to the legs, at least 32 hp must be restored to the legs before it can stand up again. Area effects that include an octadrone's body do not damage the legs. An octadrone in flight or swimming tucks its legs up into the same 10 ft cube as its body. An octadrone cannot begin to fly if it is prone, unless it has some other means of getting itself at least 10 ft above the ground.

Endure Extreme Elements(Ex): Octadrones can survive in virtually any environment, withstanding temperature extremes from -100°F to 210°F without discomfort.

Shred(Ex): An octadrone's arms are too weak to directly attack; however, they can be used in concert to tear pieces off an opponent. This is considered a two handed weapon.

Reconfigure Lower Castes(Ex): An octadrone can switch lower caste modrons between caste variants. This takes one hour per hierarchy level of the modron being reconfigured. It is rumored that some Hierarch modrons can reconfigure modrons much faster.

Regulus Terminal(Ex): An octadrone in Regulus terminal mode is a spawnpoint for monodrones. A octadrone in this mode is immobile, unable to attack, and considered helpless. When a gap is created in the monodrone population, either through promotion or through violence, a new monodrone appears at the closest Regulus terminal. If there are no Regulus terminals on the plane, the new monodrone appears in the central energy pool in Regulus(new monodrones will also appear in the central pool if it is closer than any Regulus terminals). A Regulus terminal does not function in an Antimagic field or dead magic zone, nor in an area into which planar travel cannot occur. It takes five rounds (thirty seconds) for an octadrone to convert itself into a Regulus terminal or back again. A heptadrone always promotes to a normally configured octadrone, regardless of what mode its predecessor was in.

Mechanus' Cannon(Su): Casting time five full round actions (thirty seconds), damage 150 force, range 150ft line, the octadrone must chose the path of the line when it begins channeling the cannon blast, so enemies will have ample time to move out of the path of the blast. Primarily a siege weapon.

Hendecadrone (Coordinator, Inquisition, Strategist)
Very little is known about this caste. Even in circles where detailed knowledge about the upper Modron castes is common, most people believe that the castes progress from Decandrone to Decaton.
The hendecadrones are a transition caste between the heirarchs and the base castes. They are extreamly telepathic and largely nonmotile. When a Decaton gives orders to a Decandrone, it often appears that the 'ton is giving instructions directly to the 'drone. In fact, there is a hendecadrone focused on the conversation, relaying the instructions in real time.

Special Qualities: All Around Vision(Ex): With its ten functional eyes, a hendecadrone can see in all directions at once, except bellow it. Because of this, it gains a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks and cannot be flanked, however, any foe that gets bellow it is considered invisible.
Endure Elemental Conditions(Ex): Hendecadrones can survive in virtually any environment, withstanding any temperature extremes without discomfort. They do not take energy damage from any source for more than one round. This includes environmental damage like that found on the elemental planes and persistent spells like acid arrow.

Immobile(Ex): A hendecadrone is immobile. It has no dex score and uses a dex modifier of -5. Characters with sneak attacks or similar abilities may use these abilities against a hendecadrone unless it gains mobility through the use of a spell or power that allows flight. A flying hendecadrone still has no dex score and still uses a -5 dex modifier.

Partitioned Mind(Ex): A hendecadrone can take up to three standard actions per turn, in the following manner. A hendecadrone has two initiative counts. It may use one or two (maximum) standard actions on its first count and then at least one more on its second initiative count. The second initiative is equal to its actual initiative -11, with the exception that at least one PC must appear between its counts in the initiative order. If a situation arises in which this is not so, the DM should bump one count down below the next PC's initiative. (note this may lead to the count being wrapped into the next turn. This is ok. In fact, if a hendecadrone rolls abysmally on its initiative, it may not get to use its second count until the second round of combat. These initiative rules are to prevent the PCs getting slaughtered by a bevy of spells and powers without at least some chance to respond, as well as to make the fight more dynamic)

Surge Magic(Ex): As a standard action, invokes a surge of magic that allows the hendecadrone to make a caster level check against any antimagic fields whose area of effect the hendecadrone is in, in an attempt to disjoin the field. This ability may also be used to suppress the dead magic trait of a plane or area for 1d4 rounds, in a 120 ft radius from the hendecadrone.

Regulus Terminal(Su): Casting time: 2 standard actions, Duration: concentration. Allows the hendecadrone to act as a Regulus Terminal (see octadrone description for details). Note that maintaining concentration is a standard action, and so only one segment of the Hendecanedrone's partitioned mind needs concern itself with maintaining concentration.
