Special Abilities
Barrage (Ex) As a full-round, a sieger can make up to a total of three attacks in any combination of ballista and catapult shots. Two of those attacks can be replaced by slam attacks.
Exploding Shells (Ex) A sieger's catapult fires shells that deal bludgeoning and slashing, acid, cold, or fire damage to creatures standing in the square hit and the adjacent squares. The choice of damage type is made when the shot is fired. Alternatively, a catapult shell can spread paint or smoke over the targeted square and adjacent squares. The paint acts like glitterdust and the smoke acts like fog cloud, both with 1 minute duration.
Natural Siege Weapons (Ex) A sieger does not provoke attacks of opportunity when firing its ranged weapons. Their reloading and aiming takes a free action. A sieger creates its own projectiles and they crumble into dust after 24 hours.
Piercing Bolts (Ex) A sieger's ballista fires bolts that deal piercing damage and can hit multiple targets in a line. A separate attack roll is made against each target in line, starting with the nearest until an attack roll misses, the bolt fails to penetrate hardness or DR, or the maximum range is reached.
Stability (Ex) A sieger gains +10 racial bonus to CMD.
Wall-Breaker (Ex) A sieger attacks do not halve their damage against objects, and deal maximum possible damage to non-magical objects. A sieger also gains +10 bonus to Strength checks made to break objects.
Siegers are living siege engines of the battlewrought legions. They rain destruction wherever their battlewrought kin calls them to, with little discrimination for friend or foe.
The Battlewrought
The war incarnate, the spiritual debris of endless battles, the battlewrought are embodiment of conflict itself. While they appear to be husks made of discarded armors, broken weapons, and pieces of ancient siege engines, they are animated with a living force, spirits formed from out of the raw chaos of war.
Battlewrought Subtype: Battlewrought are spirits of war inhabiting shells made of shattered arms and armor. They have following traits.
Body Weaponry (Ex): All the weapons, shields, and armors used by battlewrought are parts of its body. They cannot be disarmed or removed. They can be sundered but they regenerate in 1 round if broken or 1d4+1 rounds if destroyed.
Constructed (Ex): Although battlewrought are living outsiders, their bodies are constructed of physical components, and in many ways function like constructs. For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger's favored enemy and bane weapons), battlewrought count as both outsiders and constructs. They are immune to death effects, disease, mind-affecting effects, necromancy effects, paralysis, poison, sleep, stun, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless). Battlewrought are not subject to nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain. They are not at risk of death from massive damage. They have bonus hit points as constructs of their size.
Low-light Vision.
Saves: A battlewrought good saves are Fortitude and Reflexes.
Skills: A battlewrought counts Acrobatics, Intimidate, Knowledge (engineering), and one Profession skills related to war and its specific role such as siege engineer, soldier, teamster, or sailor as its class skills in addition to regular Outsider class skills.
Regeneration (Ex): All battlewrought have regeneration, usually suppressed by cold iron or lawful effects. The amount regenerated varies between battlewrought.
Truespeech (Su): A battlewrought can speak with any creature that has language as if using tongues (caster level 14th). This ability is always active.
Wrought For Battle (Ex): A battlewrought racial HD counts as fighter levels when meeting prerequisites of combat feats. A battlewrought gains bonus combat feats as if its racial HD were fighter levels.

Monster: Centurion Battlewrought
Battlewrought, Centurion
A massive anthropomorphic figure made of mismatched pieces of plate armors and seemingly random parts of siege machines. It wields a big scimitar in the right hand while its left arm seems to be a complex bolt-throwing mechanism. Its head resembles a helmet made of solid plates with a red-glowing visor slit instead of eyes.

Special Abilities
Enemy At The Gates (Sp): A centurion battlewrought can spend 10 minutes creating a magical portal in the shape of a vertical curtain of shimmering energy, 30-ft wide and 20-ft high. It acts like teleportation circle, but the passage is restricted to creatures with battlewrought subtype and the effect lasts for as long as the centurion concentrates.
Final Solution (Ex): As a merciless machine of war, a centurion battlewrought can make a coup d'grace as a standard action that does not provokes attacks of opportunity. A coup d'grace from a centurion battlewrought suppresses regeneration ability for 1 round, except for regeneration that requires epic effects to be stopped.
Forever War (Su): A mere presence of a centurion battlewrought disturbs peace and incites conflict within 100 feet. All ability and skill checks made to calm, promote peace, or diffuse violence suffer a –4 penalty. All the saving throws against effects that would promote peace, or clam the combatants, or would prevent or end violence (such as sanctuary or calm emotions) are made with a +4 bonus.
Tides Of Battle (Su): A centurion battlewrought can take a free action to alter the flow of battle with a well placed command three times per day. Either all the battlewrought within 100 feet can move as an immediate action or all the battlewrought within 100 feet gain 5 temporary hit points per HD.
Centurions are the commanders of the battlewrought. Callous and cunning, centurion battlewrought exist to wage wars, often by any means necessary. The cause, the costs, the participants are irrelevant, as long as there is war, though individual centurions might differ at exact tactical and operational approach—some may even seem to care for the costs and loses, but it is a matter of logistics, not morals, for one cannot wage war without soldiers. Other centurions are ruthlessly sacrificing available troops knowing there will always be reinforcements, sooner or later.
Centurions battlewroughts are sometimes conjured to serve as military advisers and commanders, tasks they perform gladly as long as it allows them to direct events to provoke more wars or to put oneself in challenging circumstances, like defending seemingly indefensible city from an incoming invasion.

Special Abilities
Crushing Charge (Ex): A charger battlewrought can attempt a free bull-rush or overrun attempt without provoking attack of opportunity after a successful charge attack.
Monstrous Cavalry (Ex): Despite being a single creature, a charger battlewrought counts as both the mount and the rider when that would be beneficial to it.
Rust Vulnerability: A charger affected with rust-inducing effect has its regeneration suppressed for the duration of the effect. Instantaneous rust effects suppress the regeneration for 1 round.
Victorious Prance (Ex): When a charger drops an enemy below 0 hit points, it can rear triumphantly as an immediate action. The charger can make two hoof attacks against enemies in reach, and until end of the following turn, its speed increases by 10 feet.
Chargers are the cavalry of the battlewrought legions. A union of the mount and the rider, fused into the singular machine of war, they do little else except roaming the battlefield and charging their opponents. Like all battlewrought, they are only interested in war, but whereas grunts appear to be uniformly taciturn stoics, the chargers are divided between equally silent lancers and boastful and temperamental cavaliers. Both kinds of chargers are willing to roam the fields in search of opponents, but when called they will participate in crushing heavy cavalry charges as well.

Immovable (Ex): A battlwrought grunt has a +4 racial bonus to CMD. It also gains a +4 racial bonus to saving throw against effects that would knock down or move it against its will.
Rust Vulnerability: A grunt affected with rust-inducing effect has its regeneration suppressed for the duration of the effect. Instantaneous rust effects suppress the regeneration for 1 round.
Victorious Charge (Ex): When a battlewrought grunt drops an enemy below 0 hit points, it can charge as an immediate action, even if it already charged on its turn.
Grunts are the core of the battlewrought troops—stubborn, relentless, faceless figures devoid of individual personality, desires, fears, or hate. They are taciturn, speaking only when it is absolutely needed—responding to orders or reporting to superiors.
Many conjurers, commanders, and planewalkers mistook that stoic facade for a sign of ordered mind. While battlewrought grunts are perfectly capable of fighting in ranks, following orders, and using tactics, they are chaos of war made corporeal, willing to battle anyone, anywhere, anytime. They can change the side during the battle at their commander's whim (of if the commander fails to control the troops)without mercy or regard for their former comrades-at-arms.
The Battlewrought
The war incarnate, the spiritual debris of endless battles, the battlewrought are embodiment of conflict itself. While they appear to be husks made of discarded armors, broken weapons, and pieces of ancient siege engines, they are animated with a living force, spirits formed from out of the raw chaos of war.
Battlewrought Subtype: Battlewrought are spirits of war inhabiting shells made of shattered arms and armor. They have following traits.
Body Weaponry (Ex): All the weapons, shields, and armors used by battlewrought are parts of its body. They cannot be disarmed or removed. They can be sundered but they regenerate in 1 round if broken or 1d4+1 rounds if destroyed.
Constructed (Ex): Although battlewrought are living outsiders, their bodies are constructed of physical components, and in many ways function like constructs. For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger's favored enemy and bane weapons), battlewrought count as both outsiders and constructs. They are immune to death effects, disease, mind-affecting effects, necromancy effects, paralysis, poison, sleep, stun, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless). Battlewrought are not subject to nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain. They are not at risk of death from massive damage. They have bonus hit points as constructs of their size.
Low-light Vision.
Saves: A battlewrought good saves are Fortitude and Reflexes.
Skills: A battlewrought counts Acrobatics, Intimidate, Knowledge (engineering), and one Profession skills related to war and its specific role such as siege engineer, soldier, teamster, or sailor as its class skills in addition to regular Outsider class skills.
Regeneration (Ex): All battlewrought have regeneration, usually suppressed by cold iron or lawful effects. The amount regenerated varies between battlewrought.
Truespeech (Su): A battlewrought can speak with any creature that has language as if using tongues (caster level 14th). This ability is always active.
Wrought For Battle (Ex): A battlewrought racial HD counts as fighter levels when meeting prerequisites of combat feats. A battlewrought gains bonus combat feats as if its racial HD were fighter levels.
A short and stocky figure clad in battered spiked half-plate without a discernible head wields a wicked halberd.

Treasure standard
Special Abilities
Big Weapon (Ex): A bolter is a living crossbow scaled for a Medium creature and deals damage accordingly, adjusted for its constant gravity bow spell-like ability.
Reloading Tail (Ex): A bolter's tail is flexible, strong, and semi-independent, being able to reload the heavy crossbow as a swift action.
Rust Vulnerability: A bolter affected with rust-inducing effect has its regeneration suppressed for the duration of the effect. Instantaneous rust effects suppress the regeneration for 1 round.
Bolters are the least and the smallest of the battlewrought, little more than mobile self-firing crossbows composed of debris of thousands of wars across the universe. They serve as scouts and ranged support for battlewrought troops. Their intuitive grasp of tactics and matters of war is much better than their lowly overall Intelligence score would suggest and some of them develop curiosity bordering recklessness, while others prefer to wait hidden in ambush to scouting.
A bolter battlewrought can become a familiar of a non-pacifist character with Improved Familiar feat (requires 7th caster level). It can be also acquired as a 4th level cohort.
