Patch, The Architect (NG)

Art by jimmymmtz on Tumblr.com

Patch is often credited as the first android, though there are none who know whether that's true. What is known is that they are an ingenious inventor, creating contraptions, elixirs, and architecture so great, the gods took notice. It's rumored that when their circuits began to fail, not only did they prolong their life by tearing the working parts from their arm to replace the veins throughout their body, performing a successful surgical rewiring on theirself, but they also then created a new arm out of bronze armor pieces that functioned like their previous one, and spurred the creation of prosthetics for other mortals across the continent. Seeing these acts, the gods welcomed them into the pantheon to continue creating and continue assisting like-minded mortals.

### Divine Intercession

Patch leans heavier towards praise over punishment, providing boons more often, however isn't shy when it comes to expressing their displeasure.

> **Minor Boon**: You become a wellspring of invention. You gain the Inventor feat, even if you don’t meet its prerequisites, and when you roll a Crafting check for the Inventor feat, you use the result one degree of success better than the result you rolled.
>
>
> **Moderate Boon**: Your organs are partially transformed into mechanical counterparts. You gain resistance 10 to negative damage, and the DC of your flat check to remove persistent bleed damage is only 5.
>
>
>
> **Major Boon**: You gain the companionship of a loyal construct ally of Patch’s choice at least 1 level lower than you. If the construct is destroyed, it rebuilds itself over the course of a week, and as you gain levels, the construct upgrades and improves itself, becoming more powerful.

> **Minor Curse**: Your joints stiffen, and your mind becomes clouded. You take a –2 status penalty to all dexterity-based checks.
>
>
> **Moderate Curse**: Whenever you try to perform engineering or science tasks, everything just seems to explode. Whenever you attempt to create or use an alchemical item or a construct, Disable a Device, and so on, you must attempt a DC 15 flat check. On a failure, something explodes and you take 1d6 fire damage (or a different type of damage, if appropriate) per level of the item, construct, or device (DC 40 basic Reflex save).

> **Major Curse**: Constructs—even mindless constructs you thought you could control—seek your demise. All constructs are hostile to you and attack you when they notice your presence. Occasionally, inanimate statues and other objects animate as constructs to pursue Patch’s vengeance. Additionally, if you have any inanimate body parts, they cease functioning, and if you are considered a construct, you fall apart and you are immediately destroyed with no chance of return except through the Reincarnate ritual, which can move your soul to a non-construct body.
