ALNE - 4.8
For a moment, an odd, brief thought flashes through your head- improved terra-cotta soldiers would be the best technological crafting assistants for speeding up the process. You had forgotten to account for the fact that while the shell sentinels were technically intelligent, it was only just enough to not need to enlighten them, but you'd need more of a framework than was possible with those in order to account for the fact that their intelligence was a matter of barely. Not enough to work with for a shell sentinel, but just enough to work with using a terra-cotta soldier- perhaps assistant?- should only come out to 3847.5 GP per terra-cotta assistant. That was actually well cheaper than using a reclamation robot would be. Much faster too at only 20 minutes per terra-cotta assistant, as well. Yes, in fact, now that you think of it, Wall of Stone to Limited Wish for Soften Earth ought to be more than able to provide all the clay you'd need for more than a few of them in a matter of seconds.
Ah, there we are, that musing has passed the minutes well enough, as finally you can see Armsmaster driving across the forcefield bridge to your location on his motorcycle, and based on the speed he'll be touching off from the bridge at right on the minute.
Actually, when he does land, from your own exceptionally accurate internal clock, he arrives exactly on the second. You can appreciate a precision like that, and you're fairly certain you've rather enjoyed, relatively at least, working with the sorts of people who do and notice such things. With that in mind, you elect to actually dismount from Spice and talk on equal elevation, height notwithstanding.
You waste no time and give a single nod to him, "Hello, Armsmaster. Your reputation precedes you, and your precision to the time is both noticed and appreciated, thank you. Is there any particular protocol or the like I should be made aware of before we begin moving?"
You can't see the upper half of his face through his helmet's visor, as he says, "No. Are you capable of keeping up with speeds of approximately fifty-five to sixty miles per hour?"
You respond, "Does this include sharp turns, or is it purely straight-line speed?"
He responds, "Including semi-regular turns of 90 degrees, typically taken at slower speeds."
You respond, "I alone am capable of teleportation in order to follow, as well as straight line travel either above or below ground without causing disturbance with flight and an acute senses allowing me to teleport down on signal easily enough, but otherwise I myself could not match that speed on foot. However, Spice," you gesture to the clockwork dragon, "Is capable of maintaining a flight speed of approximately one-hundred and two miles per hour with semi-frequent one-hundred and eighty degree turns indefinitely, without acceleration time. The clockwork soldier," you gesture at him, and he salutes in acknowledgement, "Is capable of moving at twenty-five miles per hour on foot indefinitely regardless of required turning degrees. Top straight line speed for them is sixty-two point five miles per hour, also indefinite. No acceleration required, except for occasional pauses when turning."
He responds, "Hm. Acceptable. Follow me, then," he moves to get back on the motorcycle, before pausing, and saying, "As well, you have been invited to visit Protectorate Headquarters between patrol times by Miss Militia."
You nod once, "Understood and accepted. Now, I'll aim to stop delaying us."
He seems to check something, as he gets back onto his motorcycle, and yourself and the soldier onto Spice, "Two minutes delay is less than what had been accounted for, it is effectively an early beginning."
You nod once and say, "Understood. Following."
The patrol for the next three hours proceeds to go quite smoothly. Perhaps it was some sort of unofficial 'let everyone celebrate' feeling after the death of the Slaughterhouse Nine making the people relatively more positive today, perhaps it was early enough that nobody wanted to try anything under fresh daylight, or perhaps the sight of the fairly famous Armsmaster paired with a very large metallic dragon flying not even two full stories overhead that together had some kind of dissuading effect on anyone who might have been willing to try anything where any of you might spot it. You've made a few rounds primarily around the housing areas, though with what you were fairly certain were semi-random dips into other nearby areas as sort of spot-inspections. Enough to keep an eye on specific areas, while also aiming to not remain entirely predictable in where he went, as difficult to plan around as he could while maintaining reliability.
At no point during the patrol, did either of you speak, or communicate to a degree greater than Armsmaster properly and consistently using his turn signals.
With that done, you both end up back at that same meeting up place, again at exactly the end time of the patrol.
You speak first, not bothering to dismount as Armsmaster hasn't either, "I believe that was an effective patrol, given the general purposes of a regular patrol."
Armsmaster nods, "It was. I will see you in four hours for the next," then promptly drives off in the direction of the PRT HQ, rather than across the bridge to the PHQ in the bay.
He must have paperwork or the like to attend to. Fair enough. You yourself direct Spice in that direction, crossing the distance over the three mile long forcefield roadway in just under thirty seconds, starting and stopping just as suddenly. Not an overt threat. Just, a closer demonstration of Spice's speed than was otherwise provided when flying over the city. It is one thing to see something moving very fast in the distance, it's another to see it moving very fast nearby, along a path who's distance you've come to personally know.
Still, you take a moment to dismount from Spice and, out of simple amusement in seeing how from a distance the PHQ looked somewhat like a castle, ordered her to simply fly around, swim under, and generally mock-harass it the way a chromatic dragon might to an actual castle back when. She dives off to go do so, with what you believe was a sort of menaceful glee on her face.
You yourself, meanwhile, only need wait a few minutes before Miss Militia waves you inside, and you are led on what amounts to a light tour mixed with a sort of meet and greet, as you end up briefly meeting with much of the PRT ENE heroes, although apparently Challenger had just transferred out a couple of days ago, whomever that was, and Dauntless wasn't in at the moment.
It was, pleasant enough. The only thing was, well, the other heroes were simply boring- no, that was perhaps a touch harsh. Simply, uninteresting and, to you, unmemorable. While with a mind like yours you would, of course, remember every detail of your every conscious moment, to the point you were able to review said memories to catch things you hadn't noticed or overlooked in the actual moment it occurred, but by your measure there simply wasn't much about them particularly worth remembering.
Perhaps Velocity might have been worth noting if what appeared almost akin to an at-will Time Stop didn't leave him with even less ability to affect the world than one. Meaning that without equipment such as a gun or the like, which the Protectorate either didn't let him have or he simply never thought of, which seemed farfetched given he was coworkers with Miss Militia, his power only allowed him to get somewhere but not to actually do anything there. Assault seemed fairly potent out of the group with his described kinetic manipulation making him seemingly immune to physical attacks, which would be a problem, if you weren't a Wizard, someone who specialized in things other than physical attacks.
It was honestly to some degree fairly disappointing, how seemingly bar the one, and so far only one, ability that they had, they were pretty much just baseline humans beneath that. By local standards they were called heroes, but they were nothing like those of either your homeland or Faerun. No grand quests, no visions of things that shall be all too clear with time, nothing that properly set them apart, or truly made them more than just, mundane.
With nothing striking a cord with you for them, you were not bothered by it when it ended, and you met back up with Armsmaster.
Once again, it was another uneventful patrol, this time however it had gone around the various schools and businesses as they were beginning to let out. With many more people moving about the places you were going, many more actually saw the both of you patrolling, and you must admit, there was a certain joy in seeing the reactions to Spice, to your impeccable craftsmanship, and of course to you yourself in general. Although, there was one student from that particularly worn down school- Winslow, you remembered- where at an odd glance what you could gather from her look towards you was, well- it was more than some of the less dedicated Demon Lord cultists back in Golarion, and about on par with the ones that were lesser clerics. Which, if you actually did end up with Clerics of You, could certainly be useful, but otherwise one lone student at a random school probably wasn't going to be so.
Then, after the patrol, came what you were waiting for- the chance to examine some more tinkertech. With few words you had been led by Armsmaster into his lab, leaving both Spice and the soldier outside the PHQ, and he allowed you to briefly handle the halberd and examine it before he did the regular maintenance.
After he handed it to you, you of course listened closely, and gave it one nice tap- and somehow, again, there were parts that were missing or wrong. Seemingly at least one or two for every single feature built into it. Nigh identical in that way to that creation of Richter you had examined some time ago.
Of secondary interest was that very much unlike Saint, even based on simply the way Armsmaster held the halberd in your memory alongside what you'd gathered from the tap, he actually had some understanding of what he was working with, rather than relying seemingly solely on his power. Now, if each of these missing or incorrect points had something extradimensional going on as well, that would be more than enough to establish a pattern to you-
And about two minutes later, after Armsmaster had opened up the halberd to begin maintenance while allowing you to observe the internals, after a solid few moments of much more concentrated observation, you indeed noticed once again, non-magical extradimensional effects, on nearly all of the missing or incorrect places- all of the missing ones, there just a couple spots that you had labeled 'incorrect' when technically they were just subpar or not quite suited, once those were accounted for it all matched up perfectly again.
For now, you simply elected to keep quiet on the matter, and not interfere in another craftsman's process. Rather, after the first ten minutes, you began to recognize a single-minded focus in him, as though at this particular moment, nothing beyond the quality of his work mattered. It was relatable, to you at least. You gave some thought, and if it were you crafting, you realized the tools you'd use for the next step were just out Armsmaster's reach, as were the ones you'd go for secondarily if you hadn't realized the first one. You grabbed both for Armsmaster and, once he finished his current section, you stepped back into his peripheral to his right holding both.
After only a second's glance at you, he gives a light grunt as he reaches for the second, pauses, gives a more thoughtful-sounding grunt, then nods once as he grabs the first set. After that, the two of you settle into an exceptional rhythm, yourself grabbing the right tools in the moments before he needs them and taking away the ones he doesn't need. Soon enough, working at his pace, most of an hour later the maintenance is done.
From what you could tell, quite a fair amount of it was just regular maintenance, but just as well it seemed that the act of the maintenance was, to some degree, actually refreshing, perhaps extending might be the word, those extradimensional connections that did fair amounts of heavy lifting, in particular places.
Still, with that done, apparently ahead of schedule, Armsmaster actually speaks to you, and says, "Your assistance was… greatly helpful. I had not previously considering that order of tools before."
After a solid few moments of silence, he sounded almost like he forced the next words out, "Would you also assist me with the maintenance of my motorcycle? It was not scheduled until another day, but at this rate, I believe it can be fit in before the night patrol."
You think, and reckon back to your own past, and your own self, before you say, "I don't believe I would."
After waiting just a moment to let it sink in, and ensure it fully processed, you continue, "You are entirely capable of doing such a feat on your own. At no point after returning it did I touch your halberd, after all. In fact, I had done nothing in the past hour and some minutes that could not have been accomplished effectively as well, if not in some ways better, by a shelf."
You are certain you are looking him in the eyes as you say, "So, in simplicity, no, I will not. You do not need my help for this, after all."
Just before you leave the door, you say to him, "I will se you in two hours for the night patrol, Armsmaster."
Then, later into the night, thirty seconds after the turn of the minute, Armsmaster arrives on his noticeably different, particularly to you, motorcycle. You very clearly turn your head towards it, then towards Armsmaster, and nod once. He returns it, and wordlessly, the both of you patrol through the night. There is even, briefly, something resembling a conversation.
You asked him, "I do not require sleep, yet you still seem as rested as you have been all day. By what means, if I might ask?"
He responds, after a moment, "I follow a dymaxion polyphasic sleep schedule."
You reply, "I believe I see, though I will have to look it up in detail later, rather than rely solely on linguistic inference."
The rest of the patrol was good, as well. Then, soon enough, it was over.
After Armsmaster had called it in, he even said, "This was a good patrol, as well."
You nodded once, then said, "It has been good to meet you, Armsmaster. I look forward to observing future iterations of your technology."
It seemed that both of you understood that as the moment to split ways, as he began to drive off, and you promptly teleported yourself to the framework of your mountain base.
Well then, it's currently 5:10 AM, January 28th, 2011. There's still an entire day and some hours until the meeting with Lisa is due.

Crystal Burst (Su) As a standard action once every 1d4 rounds, Iluontar can create an explosion of razor-sharp crystals at a range of up to 120 feet. These crystals fill a 30-foot-radius burst and deal 20d6 points of piercing and slashing damage (Reflex DC ? half). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Crystallization (Su) A creature struck by any of Iluontar's claws must succeed at a DC ? Fortitude save or take 2 points of Dexterity drain. On a critical hit, a target that fails its save instead takes 4 points of Dexterity drain. As long as a creature suffers this drain, portions of its body appear as living green crystal and it gains the earth creature subtype. A creature whose Dexterity score is drained to 0 in this manner transforms into a green crystal statue, as if affected by flesh to stone. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Item Mastery (Ex) Iluontar can always activate spell trigger and spell completion items as if the spell were on his class list.
Item Shaper (Ex) For the purposes of crafting magic items or constructs, Iluontar is treated as though he had all item creation feats. Iluontar requires only 1 hour of work per 1,000 gp of the item's base cost, instead of 8 hours. For items made primarily of crystal, stone, or earth, it requires only 30 minutes, and the item's base cost is halved.
Hard to Kill (Ex) Whenever Iluontar is below 0 hit points, he automatically stabilizes without needing to attempt a Constitution check. If he has an ability that allows him to act while below 0 hit points, he still loses hit points for taking actions, as specified by that ability. Bleed damage still causes him to lose hit points when below 0 hit points. In addition, he doesn't die until his total number of negative hit points is equal to or greater than double his Constitution score.
Mythic Power (Su) Mythic characters can draw upon a wellspring of power to accomplish amazing deeds and cheat fate. This power is used by a number of different abilities. Each day, Iluontar can expend an amount of mythic power equal to 3 plus double his mythic tier (5/day at 1st tier, 7/day at 2nd, etc.). This amount is his maximum amount of mythic power. If an ability allows him to regain uses of your mythic power, he can never have more than this amount.
Surge (Su) Iluontar can call upon his mythic power to overcome difficult challenges. Iluontar can expend one use of mythic power to increase any d20 roll he just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the result. Using this ability is an immediate action taken after the result of the original roll is revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll. The bonus die gained by using this ability increases to 1d8 at 4th tier, 1d10 at 7th tier, and 1d12 at 10th tier.
Amazing Initiative (Ex) Iluontar gains a bonus on initiative checks equal to his mythic tier. In addition, as a free action on his turn, he can expend one use of mythic power to take an additional standard action during that turn. This additional standard action can't be used to cast a spell. Iluontar can't gain an extra action in this way more than once per round.
Recuperation (Ex) Iluontar is restored to full hit points after 8 hours of rest so long as he isn't dead. In addition, by expending one use of mythic power and resting for 1 hour, he regains a number of hit points equal to half his full hit points (up to a maximum of his full hit points) and regains the use of any class features that are limited to a certain number of uses per day (such as barbarian rage, bardic performance, spells per day, and so on). This rest is treated as 8 hours of sleep for such abilities. This rest doesn't refresh uses of mythic power or any mythic abilities that are limited to a number of times per day.

Effect
The magnum opus and name-giving achievement of Iluontar when he shared it freely with his people. This ritual steadily, over eight castings, converts any creature into a Vault Builder Xiomorn, one free of the restraints left on the people by the deceitful pact of Ayrzul. In fact, even using it only once on an already existing Vault Builder frees them from it, even if the ritual would effectively do nothing else.Each time this ritual is performed, the primary caster must choose one of the following eight options, subject to the restrictions within. Being subject to any Xiomorn Ascension ritual also changes the target's type to Outsider, and they gain the Earth and Elemental subtypes. A target also cannot ever be raised above Mythic Rank/Tier 8 by this ritual.

This item Functions as a Combined Commander's Tent and Expedition Pavillion, containing the best features of both.
Weight: 1 lb.
Aura(s): faint Evocation, moderate Divination
Total Price: 41,000 GP
Description
This small flag sports a banner that is 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall and has a thin wooden dowel that serves as the flag post. When a creature plants the flag in the ground and speaks the command word, the flag expands into an ordinary-looking, windowless tent of stout canvas with the flag falling over the outer side of the entrance flap. The tent fills a space that is 10 feet by 10 feet, but, inside, it measures a full 30 feet by 30 feet. The entrance of the tent consists of a vestibule with an outer and inner flap for keeping light from spilling out,.
Inside, the tent contains a central table and several chairs and cushions, and three small "bedrooms" (separated by curtains) along the back wall. The center table features a blank map. Once per week, any creature inside the tent can utter a second command word to transform the map into a model of the nearby area, as sand table (see page 164).
The temperature inside the tent is 70° F if the exterior temperature is between 0° and 100° F. For every degree the exterior temperature is below 0° or above 100°, the interior temperature decreases or increases, respectively, by 1°. The pavilion also provides protection against the elements, such as rain, dust, and sandstorms. The pavilion withstands any wind of less than hurricane force, but a hurricane (75+ mph wind speed) or greater force destroys it.
While the commander's tent is in tent form, the user can utter a third command word while holding a new flag to replace the flag on the tent with one of his own choosing. The two pennants swap places. A fourth command word causes the tent to break down, returning to its miniature flag form, ejecting any creatures still inside the tent.

Enchanted With;
+2 Enhancement Bonus to attack and damage rolls
Agile
Aura moderate transmutation CL 7th
Slot none; Price +1 bonus; Weight —
Description
A character with Weapon Finesse can apply her Dexterity modifier to damage rolls with an agile weapon in place of her Strength modifier. This modifier to damage is not increased for two-handed weapons, but is still reduced for off-hand weapons. This weapon special ability can be placed only on melee weapons usable with Weapon Finesse.
Axiomatic
Aura moderate evocation CL 7th
Slot weapon quality; Price +2 bonus; Weight —
Description
An axiomatic weapon is infused with lawful power. It makes the weapon law-aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against chaotic creatures. It bestows one permanent negative level (Core Rulebook 562) on any chaotic creature attempting to wield it. The negative level remains as long as the weapon is in hand and disappears when the weapon is no longer wielded. This negative level cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells) while the weapon is wielded.
Impervious
Aura moderate transmutation CL 7th
Slot weapon quality; Price +3,000 gp; Weight —
Description
An impervious weapon is warded from damage and decay. A metallic weapon cannot rust and a wooden weapon cannot rot or warp, even by magical or supernatural means. An impervious weapon gains double the normal bonus to its hardness and hit points for each point of its enhancement bonus. The break DC for an impervious weapon and the wielder's combat maneuver defense against sunder maneuvers against the impervious weapon each gain a bonus equal to twice the weapon's enhancement bonus.
Returning
Aura moderate transmutation CL 7th
Slot weapon quality; Price +1 bonus; Weight —
Description
This special ability can only be placed on a weapon that can be thrown. A returning weapon flies through the air back to the creature that threw it. It returns to the thrower just before the creature's next turn (and is therefore ready to use again in that turn). Catching a returning weapon when it comes back is a free action. If the character can't catch it, or if the character has moved since throwing it, the weapon drops to the ground in the square from which it was thrown.
Ricochet (Adapted from Ricochet Hammer)
Price +12,000 gp; (Must be a Returning Weapon)
This weapon can strike multiple foes with a single throw. If the wielder has multiple attacks from a high base attack bonus, he may throw the weapon so it rebounds off the first target to strike at a second target, and so on for each of the wielder's additional attacks. The distance to each target adds to the total range of the weapon, and range penalties apply.
The weapon can only ricochet if it successfully hits a target; if it misses, it stops ricocheting, has no further attacks that round, and returns as normal for a weapon with the returning property. Because ricocheting attacks are treated as separate attacks, modifiers that only apply to one attack roll (such as true strike) only apply to the first attack and not the others. The ricochet attacks count as the wielder's additional attacks for that round.
Assassin's Dagger (Base Item)

Aura faint transmutation; CL 3rd
Slot feet; Price 3,500 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Description
The wearer of these suede boots ignores an additional 10 feet of falling distance when she successfully uses Acrobatics to soften a fall. Once per round as a free action, the wearer can use the boots to gain a +10 competence bonus on an Acrobatics check to jump, treating such jump as though she had a running start. The wearer also receives this +10 competence bonus on Acrobatics checks to avoid attacks of opportunity during the jump or to balance after landing.
Using the boots in this fashion strains the lower body. If the wearer attempts a second such jump before at least 1 minute has passed, she must succeed at a Fortitude save with a DC equal to the DC of her second jump attempt or injure her legs. This injury reduces her speed by half for 24 hours, or until she is successfully treated with a DC 15 Heal check or at least 1 point of magical healing. The DC of the Fortitude save increases by 5 for each additional jump attempted until at least 1 minute passes between jumps.

This injury reduces her speed by half for 24 hours, or until she is successfully treated with a DC 15 Heal check or at least 1 point of magical healing. The DC of the Fortitude save increases by 5 for each additional jump attempted until at least 1 minute passes between jumps.

Type light melee; Proficiency exotic; Weight 1 lb.
Damage 1d10 (small), 2d6 (medium), 3d6 (large); Damage Type S; Critical 18-20/x3
Range —; Capacity 10; Usage 1 charge/round; Special Performance, reach, touch
----
A monowhip is a deadly melee weapon capable of inflicting horrible wounds, even in the hands of the weak. An inactive monowhip looks like a short metal baton, but when it's activated, a small weight detaches, revealing a 15-foot-long monofilament length. Wielded like a whip, a monowhip slices deeply into targets and can inflict grievous critical hits with shocking ease. Attacks made with a monowhip resolve as touch attacks, and they ignore hardness as if the monofilament were made of adamantine. A monowhip's damage cannot be enhanced by strength, as the monofilament slices with equal ease regardless of the force applied. Activating a monowhip is a move action; once activated, the whip consumes power incredibly quickly, at the rate of 1 charge per round.

Advancing
Aura faint necromancy CL 5th
Slot armor quality; Price +1 bonus; Weight —
Description
A suit of armor with the advancing special ability allows its wearer to move through fallen enemies to the forefront of any conflict. Once per round when the wearer of a suit of advancing armor reduces an opponent to 0 hit points or fewer with a melee attack, she can immediately move up to 10 feet as a free action. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If this armor is created as barding, the effect is triggered if either the mount or its rider reduces an opponent to 0 hit points or fewer, and allows the mount to move up to 10 feet. The advancing special ability can be applied only to heavy armor.
Burdenless
Aura faint transmutation CL 5th
Slot none; Price +4,000 gp; Weight —
Description
Burdenless armor distributes the weight of the wearer's load more efficiently, allowing her to carry more without suffering the effects of encumbrance. The wearer's carrying capacity is increased by 50% across each load (light, medium and heavy).
Comfort
Aura faint transmutation CL 5th
Slot armor quality; Price +5,000 gp; Weight —
Description
Armor of comfort sheds dirt and sweat as they accumulate, and remains as comfortable as weather-appropriate clothing regardless of environmental conditions. A suit of armor with this enhancement always looks immaculately clean, can be slept in as though it were light armor, and does not cause a penalty to the wearer's saving throws to resist the effects of extreme heat. In cold weather, it counts as cold-weather clothing. In addition, the armor's armor check penalty is reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 0).
Ghost Touch
Aura strong transmutation CL 15th
Slot armor/shield quality; Price +3 bonus; Weight —
Description
This armor or shield seems almost translucent. Both its enhancement bonus and its armor bonus count against the attacks of corporeal and incorporeal creatures. It can be picked up, moved, and worn by corporeal and incorporeal creatures alike. Incorporeal creatures gain the armor's or shield's enhancement bonus against both corporeal and incorporeal attacks, and they can still pass freely through solid objects.
Impervious
Aura moderate transmutation CL 7th
Slot armor/shield quality; Price +1 bonus; Weight —
Description
A shield or suit of armor with this special ability is especially hardy. It gains double its enhancement bonus to hardness and hit points (instead of just the enhancement bonus), its break DC increases by double its enhancement bonus, and it gains a bonus on saving throws against direct attacks (such as a rust monster's rust ability) equal to its enhancement bonus.

Total Enchantment Price: 15,000 GP
This singular jet black bracer is built to be worn on the left arm, and has a dull gloss to it's metal. On the side meant to be on the interior of the forearm, set almost perfectly into the material itself, is three thin strings of gold that run from nearly end to end.

Technological Functions;
Commset
Price 6,000 GP
Usage 1 charge/hour
This device allows for communication between two commset users. A commset carries audio and visual signals, and includes a builtin camera that can record all communications being broadcast. Communication between two commsets requires both users to tune their individual devices to the same frequency. A commset has a range of 1 mile—beyond this range, communication is impossible without enhancing the signal strength with a signal booster (see page 51). The price and cost listed for this item are for a single commset.
Chipfinder (Prismatic)
Price 76,500 GP
Usage 1 charge/hour
When the chipfinder function is activated, all active tracker chips within a 500-mile radius appear as glowing dots on the screen, indicating the direction and approximate distance to each installed tracker chip, as well (customizable) identification number for each chip. The screen can filter out unwanted data to make it easier to track a specific chip. This range is a signal, and can be enhanced by a signal booster (see page 51) or blocked by a solid enough barrier.
Flashlight (Improved)
Price 30 gp
Usage 0, but must have at least 1 Charge available.
When activated, the flashlight creates a beam of normal light in a 60-foot cone. It also increases the light level in the area beyond this initial cone by one step, out to a 120-foot cone. It does not increase the light level in normal light or bright light. A flashlight has no effect in areas of magical darkness.
Fire Extinguisher
Price 6,000 gp
Usage 1 charge
This function open a small hole at the wrist-end of the bracers, from which a thin nozzle pokes out. When activated as a standard action, the fire extinguisher creates a 15-foot cone of misty vapor that swiftly extinguishes fires within its area of effect. Against magical fire effects, such as those created by a wall of fire or similar spell, the fire extinguisher only extinguishes the part of the larger effect its vapors directly contact. Continual magic flames, such as those of a flaming weapon or fire creature, are suppressed for 6 rounds before they automatically reignite. To extinguish an instantaneous fire effect or spell, the wielder must use a readied action with the fire extinguisher to counter the effect; this can cancel the entire effect, provided the source of the effect is in the extinguisher's area of effect.
When used against a creature of the fire subtype, a blast from a fire extinguisher deals 4d6 points of damage (Reflex DC 15 halves). A breathing creature exposed to a direct blast from a fire extinguisher is not harmed as long as the area is relatively well-ventilated—using a fire extinguisher in a confined area with poor or no ventilation can result in slow suffocation (at the GM's discretion).

This item functions as a Fate-Woven Braid of the Norns, except the 3/day use limit has been expanded to any number of uses, and the Price is increased to 15,000 GP.
However, it is still subject to a three-fray limit.
Each single fray can be repaired at 1/3 the creation cost.
Fate-Woven Braid of the Norns (Standard)
Aura strong abjuration and evocation; CL 16th
Slot wrists; Price 9,000 gp; Weight —
Description
At first glance, this circlet of plaited hair interwoven with a single gold thread appears to be nothing more than a personal memento or a lover's token. Closer examination reveals that each strand of hair seems to have neither a beginning nor an end. Most of these braids are blonde in color, but other hues are not unknown.
Up to three times per day, the wearer of a fate-woven braid of the norns can potentially negate a disastrous turn of fortune. Upon rolling a natural 1 on a saving throw or after failing a saving throw against a death effect, the wearer can activate the braid as a free action to reroll the saving throw.
The golden thread is vulnerable to severe twists of fate, though. If the result of any reroll obtained by the braid is ever a natural 20, the golden thread frays, permanently reducing the braid's daily reroll uses by one. If all three daily uses are eliminated in this manner, the golden thread snaps and the fate-woven braid of the norns falls apart into a nonmagical pile of wispy gray hair. A fate-woven braid of the norns uses up the entire wrists slot, even though the user wears only one at a time. The user can't use another item (even another fate-woven braid of the norns) that also uses the wrists slot.

Environment: Any
Organization: Solitary or Mount (1 + Iluontar, the Mountain-Smith)
Treasure/Inventory: 1 Decanter of Endless Water
Energized Alacrity (Su): Once per minute as a swift action, Spice can draw power from special energizing transmitters attached inside its body. When doing so, it gains a +30-foot bonus to all of its speeds for 1 round. Additionally, when making a full attack during this round, the it can move up to its speed either before or after it attacks. This movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.
Energy Attacks (Su): Each of Spice's melee attacks deals an extra 1d6 points of acid damage on a hit.
Increased Locomotion (Ex): Steam-powered clockworks increase all movement speeds by 10 feet and gain Run as a bonus feat (already included in the above statblock).
Heat Management (Ex): When Spice ignores any amount of fire damage due to its fire resistance, it gains the benefits of haste, increases the additional fire damage applied to melee attacks to 2d6, and loses its fortification ability for 1 round. Whenever it takes cold damage, it gains the effects of slow and loses the extra fire damage applied to melee attacks for 1 round. It can negate either effect with a successful Fortitude save (DC = 10 + the amount of energy damage taken).
Mithral: This variant of Clockwork Dragon loses its adamantine weapons and its DR, which are replaced by greater flight capability thanks to its spell-infused mithral parts. Its bse land and swim speeds increase to 70 feet, and its base fly speed increases to 200 feet with good maneuverability (already accounted for). In addition, once per day as a swift action, it can gain the benefits of the haste spell for 1d4 rounds.
Phrenic Stone (Su): Spice has a stone infused with supernatural mental energy embedded into its chest that is the source of its awakened intellect. If it is destroyed but this phrenic stone remains intact, it can be used to create another enlightened construct. When a phrenic stone is used to create a new enlightened construct, the personality and memories of the previous enlightened construct are lost. A phrenic stone has hardness 10, 20 hit points, and a break DC of 30.
Reach (Ex): The reach of all of Spice's melee attacks increases by 5 feet (already included in the above statblock).
Retaliatory Strike (Ex): Whenever an enemy makes a successful melee attack against Spice or an adjacent ally, the enemy provokes an attack of opportunity from Spice.
Steam Blast (Ex): As a standard action, Spice can release a jet of steam at a target within 30 feet. If it succeeds at a ranged touch attack, the jet deals 18d6 points of fire damage.
Steam Horn (Ex): As a standard action, Spice can unleash a loud blast of sound and of steam that deafens targets and deals 18d6 points of fire damage in a 30-foot cone. A target can attempt a Fortitude save (DC 28) to take half damage and negate the deafened condition. This ability is usable once every 1d4 rounds.
Steam Engine (Ex): Spice can remain active for 37 weeks with a full boiler. Anytime it uses its Steam Horn or Steam Blast abilities, the remaining duration of activity reduces by 1 day.
Self Repair (Su): This modification allows Spice to use some of the innate magic that powers its body to repair damage to itself. As a swift action, it can gain fast healing 5. It can activate this fast healing for 18 rounds per day. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Tactical Awareness (Ex): A commando construct gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 HD the commando construct has (to a maximum of +6 at 20 HD). Additionally, a commando construct is never considered an unaware combatant and is always able to act in the surprise round. A commando construct is still flat-footed in the surprise round until it acts.
For a suitably powerful wizard, what could be a more fitting mount than a dragon? Of course, a lack of naturally occurring dragons doesn't deter a proper wizard, one who can simply build a dragon.
This glistening and silvery dragon, made solely of Mithral, is specialized in exceptional flight speed, capable of unimpeded underwater combat, and is very well suited to the task of quickly flying out and retrieving any given target. Willing or not.
Though this constructed dragon isn't particularly bright, nowhere near the person Dragon, and just a touch below even an average person, they do not need any particularly complex tactics. They are not made for subtlety, they are meant to be blaring and obvious. Their presence itself, a blatant, forceful, and unignorable declaration.
To avoid confusion, they have since been named Spice.

Proficient (Ex): An A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier is proficient with all simple and martial weapons.
Standby (Ex): An A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier can place itself on standby as a standard action. While on standby, it cannot move or take any actions.

A commando construct is still flat-footed in the surprise round until it acts.
Any kingdom needs an army, yours will be no exception. A Clockwork Soldier serving as a strong foundation, building on it creates an exceptional soldier, and oddly, due to the nature of mass producing enlightened constructs, there is also a similar variety in personality and ability amongst an A.C.E. Clockwork army as there would be in a more human one, with a similar chain of command naturally likely emerging over time. After all, you can be certain of the loyalties of a soldier who you've painstakingly assembled gear by gear, especially one that knows you did so and can understand what that means.
These are built to be your feet on the ground, able to effectively hold territory that's been built around human habitation.
The above statblock depicts the absolute worst possible ability scores with an Intelligence of 6 and a Charisma of 3. Even though it is a dreg, with their inbuilt loyalty to the death negative morale at such a sad state of existence isn't a thing with these soldiers, and acceptance of their position is nearly guaranteed- at the very least, even if it does hold aspirations, it is absolutely certain that they would never deliberately disobey orders or revolt. As intelligence goes up, skill points are equally spread between Acrobatics, Climb, Perception, and Swim, up to Intelligence 15.
Those rare few most promising soldiers, with the maximum intelligence of 16 are universally set apart, with a greater variation in duties than the rest. Some have 7 Ranks in Craft (Weapons) and also serve to create more base ammunition or perform weapon repairs if needed (Replacing Combat Reflexes with Frugal Crafter) and 5 ranks in Profession (Soldier), or even provide non-magical weaponry, as even with their abundant ammunition spell-like ability, there are likely times when ammunition may be used up in truth. Others have a full 12 Ranks in Profession Soldier and serve as squad leaders. In the rare event of a Clockwork Soldier with both maximum Intelligence and a sizeable Charisma, they become a squad spokesman or civilian front, gaining 9 ranks in Diplomacy, and only 3 in Profession (Soldier).

He rolled a Nat 20 on that. So, there's that. Also, as I was writing I did end up realizing that uh, Armsmaster's general abrasiveness and such actually kind of like, works with Iluontar in some ways.
Lastly, there's still some feats left undiscovered after all this, because even though you seem ready to find out, nobody else seems willing to fuck around in your presence thus far.
Anyhow, hope y'all enjoyed!
