| + | ** A Gynoid that is entirely slain cannot be revived using ''raise dead''. Their body and mind must be almost entirely reconstructed by someone skilled in the relevant form of creation (wizardry, artificing, etc.), a task that takes a full week, and costs them a level as if ''raise dead'' had been used on them. ''Resurrection'' will revive a Gynoid as ''raise dead'', except without the level loss (that is, they are at 1 HP per hit die, and may lose any prepared spells). | ||

* '''Partial Low-Light Vision''': Gynoids are reasonably better than typical humanoids at handling low-light conditions - they can see one and a half times as far under such conditions, and maintain the ability to see color and detail. | * '''Partial Low-Light Vision''': Gynoids are reasonably better than typical humanoids at handling low-light conditions - they can see one and a half times as far under such conditions, and maintain the ability to see color and detail. | ||
| - | * '''Will-less''': The majority of Gynoids are bound to a specific master (usually their creator); this creator may be an NPC or PC (with DM permission). They automatically follow all commands of their master, never allowing for exact words manipulation or the like (they're smart enough to know what was ''meant'', and follow said intent). They are allowed to be intelligent and even creative on how they follow a command (for example, if instructed to kill someone, they could and usually would try to do so in such a way as to avoid attention from city guards, which could involve attracting the subject), but ''must'' ultimately seek to follow through, one way or another. If their master should die, the Gynoid may seek their master's resurrection, may attach to a new master, may become free-willed, or may simply become almost entirely inert in lack of commands. | + | * '''Will-less''': The majority of Gynoids are bound to a specific master (usually their creator); this creator may be an NPC or PC (with DM permission).

** '''Alignment-less''': Will-less Gynoids essentially have no true alignment - they follow commands, which may be acting in accordance with a certain alignment, but they don't truly have a heart dedicated to that alignment. They may take alignment-based classes, class ability options, or the like freely, as long as the abilities are consistent to one alignment - however, this is not a "true" alignment by any typical sense of the term. | ** '''Alignment-less''': Will-less Gynoids essentially have no true alignment - they follow commands, which may be acting in accordance with a certain alignment, but they don't truly have a heart dedicated to that alignment.

| - | ** '''Religion-less''': Will-less Gynoids essentially have no true religion - they will usually go through the motions of their master's religion, but they don't truly have a heart dedicated to it.

| - | * '''Reinforced Body''': Gynoid bodies can have armor built into their structure (sometimes visibly, sometimes not). Any Light or Medium armor can be used to reinforce their body, making all its benefits and costs inherent to their body as if it were always worn. Such armor never fatigues the Gynoid if they rest while wearing it, and such armor does not count for their weight-carrying limits. | + | * '''Weak-Willed''': Gynoids, strictly speaking, only obey their master (if they have one). However, their relative lack of will is partially reflected in their interactions with others - particularly when magic is involved. They do not gain their Wisdom modifier to Will saves against charms and compulsions, and cannot receive a second save to resist actions that are against their alignment (since their link to their alignment is tenuous). |

They can do this for one weapon per four character levels. | * '''Internalized Weaponry''': Gynoids can modify weapons to integrate them into their bodies, allowing them to pull the weapon out of nowhere.

:A Gynoid must be proficient in a weapon's use to internalize that weapon. Internalized weapons are 'mounted' onto a point of the body (usually the arm or hand), and thus cannot be disarmed. Internalized weapons can pop in or out as necessary, and are generally ''not'' natural weapons for the purposes of those feats. A Gynoid may "draw" or "sheath" an Internalized weapon as a swift action. | :A Gynoid must be proficient in a weapon's use to internalize that weapon.
