New species idea: Robots

[papilio]

innate rPois+++, rN+++, rTorment, rRot, rFlay, Clarity, rMut, Unberserkable, Unbreathing
Without rF+/rC+, fire/ice attacks inflicts slow (like draconians)
electric attacks *heals* them half of damage
Because they are machine, they CANNOT WORSHIP, EAT AND DRINK (And plz remove Demigods, Mummies)
Cannot use Borgnjor, DDoor, regen, sublime, intoxication, X forms

Abilities (all causes Exh)
Ray Gun (unlocks at L5) : LOS-range, penetrate everything
Homing Missile (L10) : Nevermiss, massive damage, only blockable if all 8 adjacent tiles of target are completely occupied
Mortar (L15) : LOS-range, 3x3, smite-targeted damage
Floating Mine (L20) : Install explosive at the standing spot which explode after 10 turn. But you can explode it directly.

Not sure if this was an ironic attempt at making a good species but either way, good species

See, I told you: robots are the future!

Maybe the machine shouldn't be able to revoke religion but was prohibited from casting.
i.e. what stops a machine from following a religion's creed anyway?

Religion is perhaps the most interesting choice during the game and the in build abilities can cover some spell needs anyway.

electric attacks *heals* them half of damage

I have a stupid question, does this mean that it inflicts full damage and then heal half of it, or just that it heals and the robot is otherwise immune? Wouldn't it be better if electric had a chance of triggering haste, while still inflicting full damage? Otherwise, you can just carry Nikolas around.

It probably means it takes 0% and heals for 50% instead.

I wonder if taking 100% and getting haste would be more befitting.
