Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Construct Gadgeteer.

Spellcasting: At each level except the 1st, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Construct Gadgeteer, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

If the Construct Gadgeteer is not a spellcaster she instead gain full base attack bonus progression from her construct gadgeteer level and a [item creation] or [fighter] bonus feat at 2nd level.

Bot Companion: A 1st level Construct Gadgeteer gain a medium-sized construct companion with the bot subtype, it has a number of hit dice equal to your character level and start with five pre-programmed commands of your choice.

It is capable of using manufactured weapons and shield but cannot wear armor or magic items, it is proficient with all simple and martial weapon as well with all shields.
