Intellect Assemblage

Intellect assemblages are artificial constructs created from the memories of others. These memories are solidified into jagged shards similar in appearance to shattered glass and fused together in vaguely humanoid-shaped clusters to create the assemblage's body. The resulting construct is incredibly intelligent but completely devoid of emotion, possessing the thoughts and memories of a multitude but no personal connection to any of them. Analytical and meticulous, intellect assemblages view the world and everything in it as parts of a complex equation or system. They place no value on life or morality and consider emotions an illogical weakness.

Bardic Lore Intellect assemblages are created from the thoughts and memories of hundreds of individuals, providing them a near limitless collection of data to pull from. Intellect assemblages have access to Bardic Lore, a special Lore skill allowing them to Recall Knowledge on any topic.

Fascinating Facets (aura, illusion, mental, visual) 20 feet. The thought shards composing the intellect assemblage's body reflect countless memories, thoughts, and dreams. A creature that starts its turn in the aura must succeed at a DC 36 Will save or become fascinated with the intellect assemblage for 1 round. An intellect assemblage can suppress or activate this aura as a single action with the concentrate trait.Meticulous An intellect assemblage is analytical. Whenever they fail a saving throw against a mental spell or effect, the intellect assemblage is slowed 1 for 1d4 rounds as they sift through the new information.

Sidebar - Related Creatures The Flawed

Very rarely, intellect assemblages are created incidentally, usually in the aftermath of tragic accidents or catastrophes that result in the sudden and instantaneous death of numerous intelligent beings. The resulting intellect assemblages, often called “the Flawed” by their fellows, are capable of being emotional, compassionate, and introspective.
