Clockwork (3.5e Race)

Personality

Clockwork are simple constructs that live and coexist with each other and other races much like any race would. They spend most of their time examining and constructing objects. The Clockwork are free thinking individuals, they are suited more to feeling than fighting. However, in times of war the Clockwork can fight as well as any race.

Physical Description

Clockwork are fragile constructs. Their interior consists of several thousand tiny brass gears which need to be properly maintained. A Clockwork's exterior is usually made from ceramic or porcelain and is very fragile. Clockwork are often crafted after the features of the prominent race of the area. They have no determinate gender since Clockwork only reproduce by constructing more Clockwork, therefore clockwork are simply the gender they are constructed after.
