=== Combat ===

The autonomous attack chopper is not exactly quiet, but in the roar of battle it can "hide" by moving behind hills and buildings using its perfect maneuverability.

'''Crew {{Ex}}:''' The autonomous attack chopper has room for a crew of one medium creature, if piloted manually, and five additional creatures as co-pilot and passengers.  The pilot can assume control of the weapons, allowing it to fire while moving by using its pilot's actions to attack.  Starting and running it requires a DC 20 [[Knowledge Xeno (3.5e Skill)|Knowledge Xeno]] or [[Pilot (3.5e Skill)|Pilot]] check.

'''Downdraft {{Ex}}:''' The autonomous attack chopper produces a great deal of wind from its rotor blades.  Whenever it is within 20 ft of the ground, it blows wind out in all directions with it in the center as per ''[[SRD:Gust of Wind|gust of wind]]'', out to a range of 40 ft.  If there is sand or grit on the ground it may be thrown up, providing concealment in a 40 ft radius 20 ft high.

'''Loud {{Ex}}:''' The autonomous attack chopper is very loud.  Creatures get a +20 bonus on Listen checks against it.

'''Minigun {{Ex}}:''' The autonomous attack chopper is equipped with a large [[Steambolt Minigun (3.5e Equipment)|steambolt minigun]].  The [[Reflex]] save is DC 18.  It does not take any penalties to its speed while firing the minigun, and it only needs a swift action to retain spinning the barrel.  It still takes a move action to spin the barrel initially. The autonomous attack chopper has no reach and cannot make attacks of opportunity, but in return it does not provoke attacks of opportunity for firing ranged weapons.

'''Rockets {{Ex}}:''' The autonomous attack chopper can fire a swarm of exploding micro-rockets.  It effectively has ''[[SRD:Fireball|fireball]]'' at will with a 1 round cooldown and a caster level equal to its CR.  DC 25 [[Reflex]] save, the saving throw is [[Wisdom]] based.
