I wish I knew how that worked, how hard it is to make a soul. How common is it for autognomes to be like this? It can't be too easy... think of the ramifications! The Nine Hell's soul economy! If devils learned they can just _make_ souls... Is it replicatable? A fluke? Perhaps it's divine intervention from the Gnomish deities for the gnome's creativity, so that way autognomes can't be mass-produced or reduced to a formula to follow- that would retain the idea of them being truly special and one of a kind. I've run a story arc in a campaign a long time ago that centered around an artificial human PC whose creation process was _wildly_ difficult and expensive for her creator and the PC still needed to go out of the way to work out a few flaws. Artificial souls are a very interesting topic to me because of that game.
@@Jahnkasad he probably knew about it since hes written/cowritten books with wizards of the coast. i would imagine he was asked his opinion on some creatures.
I play an autognome clockwork sorceror who is basically Pino from Ergo Proxy in our Soelljammer Academy sessions. She's been following around our rogue and tteating him as her Vincent Law.
Isn't that one of the potential plot points in Eberron and the warforged roaming the Mournland? I know if my players ever go there now then I'll be scattering some autognomes in amongst the ranks of the Lord of Blade's forces...
I play an eccentric, chaotic neutral autognome city cleric with a passion for celebrating literally anything and everything. needless to say, he causes chaos everywhere he goes.
A perfect opportunity to create a Megaman build…right down to the size. ; ) On the flip side, the potential for a horrifying aberration of science gone wrong, like the Handymen from Bioshock Infinite.
When he said an autognome might be ran by a piece of the creator's heart...my first thought was a gnomish version of Tony Stark out there creating his suite to host his body because of some decease and he becomes iron man.
Respectfully my gnome in a campaign years old ago managed to create an arcanomechanical skynet. I have a bunch of terminators beat up independent bots lol.
How difficult is it to make an autognome? Where do their souls come from? Can a gnomish smith farm soulcoins by trading his autognomes' souls with devils? Can gnomes crash the nine hells economy?
I thought I had escaped them when I fled WoW... now they've followed me out of BfA. Fine, I'll stop denying it, I LOVE GNOMES, THEY'RE SUCH A COOL FANTASY CONCEPT
eh the auto gnome don't interest me. i always played warforged as constructs and i welcome the healing-based challenge. frankly more spells working for or agents' certain types wouldn't hurt.
Autognomes? What? Are they gnomes who own cars & drive? Or is that an automobile brand made exclusively by gnomes? If so, I wouldn't want to drive 'em!
I think having Warforged, Autognomes and Glitchlings all be able to be repaired via traditional healing spells is a copout. They mention Data as inspiration. Data was never repaired in sickbay. Geordi was always having to deal with Data issues.
Gnomes were NEVER about "whimsy" and "tinkering" .. Not until Dragonlance came along and f'ed it all up... along with those kender and ridiculous gully dwarves.
If you get a player to be a warforged and you play autognome you can do R2D2 C3PO shenanigans
I feel like most players would be more like HK47 and T3. 😆
@@MandalorV7 "Expletive: Damn it Master.... The paladin meatbag is being Lawful Stupid again."
then I hope C3PO would die a horrible way..
I'd allow it.

You hear that everyone, "The autognomes are NOT OBJECTS". So heat metal will not work against them! 3:36
Autognome Battle Smith Artificer riding the Steel Defender is #1 on my list of characters I'd play in a Spelljammer campaign.
A garden gnome style autognome riding a mechanical lawn flamingo mount would be incredible
So, Gnomes have created Free will and Souls. That is.....absurd and amazing
THAT has always been my favorite part of gnomes…they make the truly wondrous possible.

Autognomes are like the mechagnomes from _World of Warcraft._
@@cameronmcewen9666 Actually, it'd be Mechagnomes are like the Autognomes, Autognomes are from 1991

...look since the playtest I've been preparing for a Gnomish Doctor Wiley to make his move in my current campaign with Gnomebot Masters.
I see Fresh Cut Grass big time here. The “beating heart” brought to mind his recurring “flesh tongue” horror!
Almost makes you wonder if Mercer knew that WOTC would be doing Autognome, or if WOTC is doing Autognome now to take advantage of FCG's popularity?
@@Jahnkasad More likely the former, which would be very cool.
@@Jahnkasad he probably knew about it since hes written/cowritten books with wizards of the coast. i would imagine he was asked his opinion on some creatures.
Gives me a dope idea for a raven Loft setting. Or even better cyborg gnomes
Autognome Battlesmith Artificer that "merges" with their steel defender when they mount it
I don't mind these guys, but it really feels like Warforged got done dirty by not being treated as Constructs.
My next campaign “I, Autognome” is now in the works.
looking into an autognome for the next Spelljammer campaign: Marvin the paranoid android from HHGTTG
~Get in the Gnome
~Auto Gnome
Under. Rated.
I play an autognome clockwork sorceror who is basically Pino from Ergo Proxy in our Soelljammer Academy sessions. She's been following around our rogue and tteating him as her Vincent Law.
GNOMES!!
Autognomes roll out!!
Clockwork Soul Autognome for a clockwork gnome flavor.
I am also allowing Warforged in my spelljammer game
I am SO making myself an autognome that looks like a Myr from MTG. My dreams of making a Barbarian Gold Myr will finally come true!
I'm more excited for the Glitchling, but this looks cool.
Shout out to Acquisition Incorporated one of my fave campaigns ever. Really fun campaign to introduce adults with no previous experience into DnD.
My Autognome will be powered by a tiny chip of the Astral Diamond!
We are the auto-gnome. We will add your technological and arcanological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile.
Autognome battlesmith! So much repairing
Your steel defender is another autognome.
@@andrewtyrell4795 my homonculus, too!
The variety is absolutely wonderful.
I now need a construct vs organics war. Auto Gnomes, Modron(Glitchlings), Warforged alliance.
With warforged being heavily split due to their dual nature. Warforged families being split and irreparable harm to relationships over it
Isn't that one of the potential plot points in Eberron and the warforged roaming the Mournland? I know if my players ever go there now then I'll be scattering some autognomes in amongst the ranks of the Lord of Blade's forces...
Bard Autognome will be quite a chatterbox
Jukebox!
Fit perfectly into EBERRON
On the subject of different things an Autognome can be powered by how about a hamster on a wheel?
A miniature giant space hamster on a wheel
I play an eccentric, chaotic neutral autognome city cleric with a passion for celebrating literally anything and everything. needless to say, he causes chaos everywhere he goes.

I was just watching Spaceballs the other day and I am wondering if DOT was a Autognome or a Warforged?
I am Cogspinner of Autonomia, resistance is futile.
Hmm Autognome with Dark Gift: Second Form...of a Gnome-sized wheeled-vehicle?
When he said an autognome might be ran by a piece of the creator's heart...my first thought was a gnomish version of Tony Stark out there creating his suite to host his body because of some decease and he becomes iron man.
I was picturing something similar
autognomes moon circle druid wild shape into autoDirewolf!!!!!!
Thank you Todd
im imagining "The Tin man" but, as a Auto Gnome : )
Catch me out here playing bigweld from Robots
Respectfully my gnome in a campaign years old ago managed to create an arcanomechanical skynet. I have a bunch of terminators beat up independent bots lol.
🎶You you you Autognome🎶
Fresh Cut Grass would be jealous.
my auto gnome will be made from play-dough.
You can play as Edward (wizard transmutation / fighter) as gnome hhahahha!! and Alphonse Elrich as Autognome (full transm wizard)!
Just for the fact that spelljammer was mentioned, I now want to play a divine sorcerer autognome that is essentially just ET
"Does this unit have a soul?"
Oom from “Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors”.
So what exactly makes them different from Warforged?
They were not forged for war, but because Santa's little helpers wanted new friends.
Different racial bonuses and made differently for tasks by their unique creator.
Leak SPOILER:
Almost all of their traits are just reflavors of the Warforged, so idk what makes them different
Don't pretend you didn't get the idea from the mechanical DMT elves.
Is an autognome cleric a thing? I haven't played d for a while...
All classes are available to all races.
I’m going to use this to make a rabbit 🐰 a white rabbit construct (is it obvious that I’m going for an Alice theme?)
Small warforged got it
Deceptignomes in the next book?
But do they have darkvision?
The Unearthed Arcana version doesn't.
Official version does NOT have dark vision. So miffed. Gnomes made them in their own image but made them without something that every Gnome has.
Warforged are people too. 😤
How difficult is it to make an autognome? Where do their souls come from? Can a gnomish smith farm soulcoins by trading his autognomes' souls with devils? Can gnomes crash the nine hells economy?
Fresh Cut Grass...
Nah he’s a warforged aka aeormaton
@@thedudejsb yes, now introducing a guest auto gnome fresh out of hupperdook. Hupperdook reinvented the aeormaton.
Autognome Druid is op being a Transformer

Seems that someone got mad at WoW Not having robot Gnomes.
🤩
Sooo WoW mechagnomes?
Riddle me this. Gnomes have dark vision. Autognome monsters, from the same set of books, have dark vision. Auto Gnome PCs DON'T HAVE DARK VISION!
eh the auto gnome don't interest me. i always played warforged as constructs and i welcome the healing-based challenge. frankly more spells working for or agents' certain types wouldn't hurt.
now owned by blackrock
Dnd × masseffext the auto gnomes are the geth and the gnomes become the quarians
Autognomes? What? Are they gnomes who own cars & drive? Or is that an automobile brand made exclusively by gnomes? If so, I wouldn't want to drive 'em!
Would FCG be this?
I think so
No. I think he is CR version of warforged. If you remember the ending of campaign 2.
I think having Warforged, Autognomes and Glitchlings all be able to be repaired via traditional healing spells is a copout. They mention Data as inspiration. Data was never repaired in sickbay. Geordi was always having to deal with Data issues.

The bald guy in the hat intimidates me for some reason.. He just seems to have something vile lurking just under the surface waiting to come out.
