Dealdalin
Dealdalin, the youngest and fewest race of beings in the world, are a mysterious, mechanical race. Not much is known about how this race came to be in the world. Their origins are shrouded in mystery as well as heavily guarded by the Dealdalin themselves. As a consequence, the world outside of their race has no idea how the Dealdalin are made.

Personality
Dealdalin personality seems to range from the light hearted to the sinister. Though few, the Dealdalin seem to be just as varied as humans are. There have been sighting of the Dealdalin helping out farms and townships as well as Dealdalin who have been captured as a suspect for murders. Though varied, Dealdalin do seem to be a bit more reserved than other races. This may be simply due to the fact that the Dealdalin do not have moving faces that show expression.

Religion
Not much is known about the Dealdalin religion. Though what has been shared leads one to believe that they recognize, but do not worship the Anatolian pantheon. The central figure in their religion seems to be what they have called their creator, Daedalus. Daedalus is said to have been recognized by the gods as a creator of life and the gods accepted him among their ranks. The Dealdalin worship this figure, Deadalus, as their creator and god. Other than this minor fact, the rituals and rites are much in the same as the ones found in the Anatolian Pantheon.

Physiology
The Dealdalin are a race of metallic, mechanical people. They are often the same size as humans, but can vary in size from short and slim to tall and robust. Most Dealdalin have simple, metal plated exteriors that over a network of wires, metallic muscle structures, and mechanical parts. Though each Dealdalin may be slightly different all Dealdalin have a core that resides in the center of their chest. This core seems to be the same type of crystal that is used in the crystalis process, but due to inadequate intel on the dealdalin, most have no clue what the core is or how it brings life to the Dealdalin.

As previously stated, the Dealdalin have no mouths or facial muscles. Their eyes depend on the individual and can range from small optical inputs to complex, scope-like arrays. The coloring of the outside plating is usually black or silver, but some Dealdalin have been seen with uniquely colored plating. A Dealdalin's feet and hands are much the same as humans in that they have ten digits, but of course these are made of steel.

Culture
Deadalin have very little in the way of culture. There have been rumors of a religious cult to Deadalus that has a lot of followers and a organized leadership, but nothing has been confirmed. Dealdalin are governed by the laws in whatever land it is that they are currently in. Dealdalin have been known to form small packs of like minded individuals, but they often have no formal structure of rule.

Game Mechanics
Dealdalin are versatile fighters whose strengths and weaknesses depedn upon the individual. Some individuals still possess the mental fortitude or will power to conjure magics, while others rely on the strangth of their bodies as a weapon.

Medium: Dealdalin are medium humanoids and gain no bonuses due to this.

Speed: A Deadalin's land speed is 30ft

Living Construct: A Dealdalin is a living construct. As such is gains immunity to poison, fatigue, nausea, and sleep effects. They gain immunity to mind affecting spells as well as disease. Unlike the template, these are the only bonuses a Dealdalin can receive as a living construct.

Varied Build: Each Dealdalin is different. You start to game with a +2 in any one ability score.

Plating: At 1st level a Dealdalin receives a suit of masterwork light or medium armor for free, which cannot be sundered or removed. Due to its integration with the Dealdalin's body, the plating's maximum Dex bonus is increased by 1 and its armor check penalties are reduced by 1. Regardless of the type of armor it is based on, plating is constructed of the same materials as the rest of the Dealdalin's body and thus may not be constructed of special materials (unless you select the Advanced Construction feat at 1st level). Plating may be enchanted as magic armor, though the Dealdalin must be present at all times during the process.

Banned Class: Though the Dealdalin's voice may still be heard from the gods, their structure prevents them from direct communication. This prevents the Dealdalin from direct power from the gods, therefore the Cleric class is banned for Dealdalin.
