[Amendment] Adding Weaknesses to YOUR CA

Additions are bolded, removals are crossed out.
 

Idle Cored Atronach / Drone Atronachs

 

With the advancements of atronachs being very strong companions and able to outwit those around them if they have been given the time to progress long enough. A forger can simply remove this ability of thought from the Atronach, constructing a core to be an idle machine incapable of thought and ideas. These idle cored atronachs hold a one-track mindset and must be given both direction and objective, otherwise they would come to halt function, awaiting for a new command. This is obtained by not adding the needed enchantment that would normally give an atronach sentence.

 

Mechanics 

 

• Creates an NPC Atronach. They function based on what tasks they are given. Once finished the tasks that they have been given they will wait for the next objective, unable to think for themselves outside of point A to point B.

• The atronach with this core will no longer be very effective in combat and will not fight back if attacked. If the atronach is damaged too much, they will fail to function.

 

Redlines

 

• Idle cores are used to make atronach NPCs. They lack the ability to attack anyone, being unable to comprehend the orders to engage in combat, being considered too complex for them to understand.

• Upon being damaged to a servere state, the atronach will halt all functions and be rendered useless until repaired.

• Idle cored atronachs range in strength;  fire and water idle cored atronachs will only extend the strength of a human; air cores would be slightly weaker than a human; ice cores slightly greater than a human; and earthen ones, slightly weaker than a golem.

• Idle core atronachs lack the ability to think for themselves. They MUST have an objective to be completed or else they become inactive and wait for their next order. They are unable to hold speech and conservation, using only basic functions to perform the tasks given.

• Idle core Atronachs are susceptible to abjuration/warding/anything that is designed to eat or destroy voidal magic as well as suffering from the general weaknesses their sentient cousins would have (a fire atronach would be weak to water, ice atronach to fire, etc). They’re able to absorb around 4-5 direct hits upon the core before being destroyed. A destroyed core can be salvaged and repaired by an atronach forger to return it to life. If an idle core atronach is destroyed, an sreq should be made to inform ST of its destruction. ST do not need to oversee the atronach’s destruction (though screen shots should be provided if asked for).

• Solids are generally better designed for idle cores (being ice and earth), for they can manipulate the realm more effectively, while the liquids may be of use manipulating their elements to perform tasks assigned (such as a fire atronach in a forge to heat ore, or a water atronach being used to clean). 

• To denote an active idle core atronach, an ST signed item of the core is to be made, and a screenshot of it is to be added to the creators FA.

• Idle Cored Atronochs are not ST signed. A voidal mage may only make at most 3 per OOC day.
  
  Purpose
  
  NPC constructs for other construct feats (Golemancy and Animii) do not need ST signage, let alone as much supervision as this needs currently. This simple change makes it consistent with the standards of modern lore. Put a limit in so a mage cannot claim to make 1000 billion in a single day. Kinda basic.

I am less certain about micro's being suitable for player signed stuff so I did not include them since I sort of just wanted to get this in as is. If you want to make a separate amendment for that it would not take that long.

this seems pretty intuitive +1

Idle is essentially the npc 'tell exactly what to do' from automaton lore where micro is your tiny pet ones. Also entirely non-combative.
