Automaton (Repurposed Corpse)

((Black Hack Variant))

While the Ta'ak certainly have fully mechanical automatons at their disposal, it is often more useful to re-purpose fallen enemies whose physiology has been selected for in a given environment.  These undead automatons are typically more capable of navigating the terrain of their own home worlds, and their very presence is demoralizing to resistance efforts.

The interface is not capable of allowing Ta'ak engineers (tinkers) to issue complex commands, nor are Repurposed Automatons capable of using ranged weapons or devices. They are vicious melee combatants, and will fight until destroyed.

TA'AK

((Black Hack Variant))

The depths of Mount Eversmolder are teeming with Ta'ak. While it may be helpful to think of them as "space orcs", the dark truth is that no Ta'ak survived the impact of their star-craft with the mountain. Ta'ak reproduce through the transmogrification of other species. 

Cultists have entered the shattered mountain, and a new generation of Ta'ak threatens to emerge.

Stunted and blighted beasts roam the ash covered foot hills of the dreaded mountain EverSmolder", fiercely competing over scarce resources. Wilderness travel is a perilous, but perhaps the greatest threat that awaits the adventuring party is the waste dragon.

HD: 4 (28) | Actions and Specials: 2 claws (1d6) + 1 bite (1d8), Breathes fire - d4 nearby targets (2d6).

Tactics

Death From Above

He will breathe fire on the party as his opening attack, while flying safely above melee weapon range. If it appears he has wounded the party, he will land and engage in melee combat. If Slahg loses one half of his health, he will take to the skies, and fly out of sight, only to be encountered again if rolled as a random wilderness encounter again, recovering 1d6 HP each day that passes between encounters.

Ta'akese Wand

((Black Hack Variant))

"A metallic object with a trigger similar to a crossbow, but lacking a lathe or any obvious means of propelling a bolt...Perhaps it is some manner of wand?"

-------OPEN GAME CONTENT-------

This futuristic side arm is dependent upon a remote power source. While within Distant range of the power source, the "wand" can be used to fire a pulse of energy every turn without a need for "ammo" Usage Die checks. If the "wand" is not within Distant range of a power source, it simply will not function.
