Universal Remote, Gnomish

Description: This small bronze contraption bears numerous knobs, dials, pointers, winding thingies and whirring gizmos. A competent user can take control of constructs, both mechanical and magical, from a distance - if he's lucky. Even the gnomes aren't sure why this collection of bronze, oils and semiprecious stones works. Gnomish engineering at its finest. Operation: To use a gnomish universal remote, the operator must be within 30 feet of a construct (a golem or gnomish battle chicken, for instance). Operating the universal remote is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. The operator makes a Use T echnological Device check with a DC equal to 15 + the construct's Hit Dice. If he succeeds, he controls the construct's next action. Malfunction: The remote empowers the target construct, granting it a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and drawing its attention to the operator. Hardness 1; 3 hp; Size Diminutive; W eight 1/2 lb.; MR 5; TS 14, Craft DC 30; Price 8,000 gp. Zeppelin, Goblin
