Robot Commander

Robot Commander (Technology)

You are able to keep a robot magically animated for extended periods

Prerequisites: Technologist, ability to cast Awaken Automaton spells

Benefit: When you cast an Awaken Automaton spell, you may choose to put that robot in a non-combat role. If you do so, for 1 hour per caster level the duration of the Awaken Automaton spell is suspended and the robot gains the staggered condition. When placed in a hazardous situation (ie when initiative is rolled), the robot loses the staggered condition. When the robot enters initiative or loses the staggered for any other reason, the Awaken Automaton spell's duration begins to elapse. Only one non-combat robot may be controlled in this way at one time
