Equipment and Gear

While this new equipment is designed and created for the Ambassador class, these items can be used in any campaign setting and are useable by any class if your GM's setting allows.

Ambassador’s Assistant

4500gp

An ambassador’s assistant is a small robotic sphere, about 8 inches across, reinforced with titanium and depleted uranium. The assistant will only activate when an ambassador uses an action to turn the assistant on, and will follow the orders of that Ambassador. It will then hover within 5 feet of the activating ambassador at all times. As an action, an ambassador can transfer ownership of the assistant to another ambassador.

Semi-Sentience. An ambassador’s assistant is a semi-sentient item of any alignment with an Intelligence of 16, a Wisdom of 14, and a Charisma of 14 and has Thermalvision. It communicates verbally with you and can speak, read, and understand any language it knows (see “Programmed Properties” below)

Life Support. Whenever you end your turn with 0 hit points, the assistant can use its action to stabilize you. The assistant can use this action three times and regains all expended uses every 24 hours.

Programmed Properties. An assistant has the following properties:

Languages. The assistant knows Common, and five other languages decided by the GM. If an assistant knows fewer than six languages, it can learn a new language after it hears or reads the language. When it hears a new language and already knows six languages, it can replace one language it knows with the new language. Once the assistant has used this feature it cannot do so again until 24 hours have passed.

Skills. The assistant has a +7 bonus to one of the following skills: Arcana, History, Religion, or Nature.

Scanners. The assistant has either an Arcane Scanner or Outsiders Scanner (decided by the GM). The Arcane scanner allows the assistant to replicate the effects of detect magic at will, while the Outsiders Scanner allows the assistant to replicate the effects of the detect evil and good spell at will.

Personality. An assistant is programmed to advise and assist the ambassador that activated it. One of the basic functions of an assistant is to serve as a translator, and readily provide cataloged information. The assistant’s properties are ultimately under its control, and if you have a bad relationship with your assistant, it might refuse to assist you in a huff.
