MPC And Metal Druid
Okay Theo, nice work there. You put in a request about some audio equipment, and John Romeo's boys come on back to the factory with some gear and another letter:
sup ninjas, gettin bizzee in the hizzee, tizzy in the factrizzy? k I sizzee.

They hook you up with a Guild Sequencer (serial number sanded off), a beat up Akai MPC, a DAT recorder and a bunch of tapes, a basic Sony amp and speakers (plus huge subwoofers covered in old graffiti), and an Amiga with some software on it. Tell you that in case you couldn't figure it out, in exchange, JRome just wants a producer credit on your demo. You can keep all that stuff.
...
Yeah Thren, don't forget that John Romeo suffered massive head wounds last campaign, and still isn't quite right.
As for training, that's right. You get hps and one NWP. No bonus hp. Each level, even as a multi-class, gives you a NWP. Sorta makes up for the 1/2 xp that continues after you hit the ceiling of one of your classes.
...
Thaka, there's another -1 sword and two -2 daggers if you really want them, plus a wooden shield. Okay, Daughters of Venus paid off. Let's begin the clock on that month of service; but if adventures come along, it'll be interrupted.
Thaka, you can use the metal in the dagger to decrease the penalty in one of your weapons by -1/-1. Of course this won't improve the weapon beyond -0/-0.
Scale mail will get you 25 gp. If the party agrees, you could just trade it for two normal (-0) flails.
Hang on, and I'll get to the Arena in my next big post.

Nerf Strike and Robotics are fine NWPs.
Actually, I never play with the -4 to hit for subdual to encourage 'nerf striking' and subdual in combat. However, I do have a house rule that each attack must be declared, in the moment, as subdual, or it's considered real. We could just say that Nerf Striking lets you get away with that, and retroactively you can do dmg either real or as subdual. How's that?
Twilos is not a fantastic city to build robots in, unless you're looking to make them out of popsickle sticks, which the Factory has a lot of. There are some big metal basins here though for making the ice cream.
Can KT now make Metal Spiders? Hmm... I'm thinking that maybe we should follow the guidelines for 'Animal Friendship' on this one. Just as is, no, you can't make autonomous golems like that.
However, if you want to use Druid Magic- essentially, burn 'Animal Friendship' spells to imbue your metal creations with anima-type spirits, that should work. 2 HD of constructs per level, and this is NOT cumulative with actual animal friends, i.e., animals will be weirded out by giant metal animals and not want to be your super Aquaman-style pals. Thus, KT will be a Metal Druid, and Twilos is the perfect town to become just that.
