The inventor class, automaton ancestry, new backgrounds, and other elements located in this book give players ways to embody different aesthetics that infuse mechanical concepts or fantastic science into their character designs. The degree to which you combine these elements is something that can help you impact the development of your character and the tone and feel of your game in a variety of ways.
An automaton character with a Pathfinder Core Rulebook class like fighter or monk can be an interesting twist on a classic idea. An automaton inventor with the Disciple of the Gear background who multiclasses as a cleric of Brigh, goddess of invention, can be the focal point of an entire campaign arc themed around the spread of technology and the search to understand the mortal soul.
