This section attempts to convert all the supplementary material to the Iron Gods adventure path that still need to be included to actually run it within 2e. Most of it will be entries from the Technology Guide but some may be homebrewed extras to help with the conversion.
Please note that there will be MAJOR SWEEPING CHANGES to many items. As a GM you may wish to discuss with your players how these items are presented and what they consider to be the most important thing when converting an item, and develop your own take on things from there.
This document covers general concepts and mechanics for an adventure in Numeria. For individual item lists, please check out the following:
To see an overview of the traits that were added, please click here.
- Silverdisks
- New Actions
- New Spells
- Color Grading
- Timeworn Technology
- Technological Radiation
- Numerian Fluids

- Artificial Intelligence
Silverdisks are batteries^ that no longer function. They are often used as a secondary currency in Numeria.
One silverdisk is worth 1gp.
Traits: Concentrate, Exploration, Secret
You can identify the nature of a technological item with 10 minutes of testing. If your attempt is interrupted in any way, you must start over. Attempt a Engineering Lore check. You may instead make Crafting check at a -5 penalty.
If you have a zipstick^ on hand you can expend a use to gain a +2 item bonus to your check.
The DC of the item being identified is the same as its listed Craft DC.
- Success You identify the item and the means of activating it.
- Failure You fail to identify the item, but can try again.
- Critical Failure You misidentify the item as another item of the GM's choice.
Traits: Concentrate, Exploration, Secret

You can use the Craft activity to create cybernetic items, though many have additional requirements. Selecting this feat immediately gives you the formula of 1 cybertech^ item.
You also gain access to the Install Cybertech^ and Remove Cybertech^ activities.
Spell rarity has been left up to the GM, but it's pretty safe to assume these spells are all Rare, with the only people that have access being Technic League members.
Use the JSON files with [https://template.pf2.tools/]. Be aware these do NOT import directly into FoundryVTT.
Recharge now works similarly to Treat Wounds, where it's possible to gamble with the amount recharged, but without penalising the player for "doing too well."
This spell has been simplified to just that of the greater version as the effects of radiation can both be alleviated with neutralize poison and restoration
Technology with various grades sometimes use a color-based grading scale. The mapping is as follows.
| Color Grade | Level |
|---|---|
| Brown | 1 |
| Black | 3 |
| White | 5 |
| Gray | 7 |
| Green | 9 |
| Red | 11 |
| Blue | 13 |
| Orange | 15 |
| Prismatic | 17 |
Items with the Timeworn trait are worth 50% of its original value, cannot be recharged and has a 50% chance of glitching under the following circumstances:
- When the item is used for the first time in a month or more of inactivty
- Any time a single-use consumable is used
- When using the item would drain its last charge
- When using an item requires a roll of a d20 and the roll results in a natural 1
- When a critical hit is confirmed against the wearer of an active defensive item, such as armor or a force field.
When an item glitches, roll a d% on the corresponding table.

Technological radiation is a mostly invisible hazard that suffuses a spherical area and can extend into objects. Each area of radiation has an associated intensity stepping up from Low to Medium to High to Severe, and the areas work the same way as listed on Technology Guide, pg. 55-56.
Whenever a creature enters or starts their turn in an area of technological radiation, they make a single Fortitude save. On a failure, they become drained and afflicted with Radiation Poisoning, with the value and stage dependent on the intensity of radiation they were exposed to. This drained condition cannot be lowered by a full-night's rest.
| Intensity | Fort DC | Drained value | Radiation Poisoning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 20 | 1 | Stage 1 |
| Medium | 25 | 2 | Stage 2 |
| High | 30 | 3 | Stage 3 |
| Severe | 35 | 4 | Stage 5 |
Traits Poison, Radiation
Saving Throw see table above; Onset 1 day; Stage 1 enfeebled 1 (1 day); Stage 2 enfeebled 2 (1 day); Stage 3 enfeebled 3 (1 day); Stage 4 enfeebled 4 (1 day); Stage 5 12d10 poison damage and enfeebled 5 (1 day)

Most skymetals have now been converted to second edition with the release of Pathfinder Lost Omens: The Grand Bazaar.
Glaucite is an alloy of adamantine and steel that's 1.5x as heavy as steel but not much better than it. Glaucite is what the Divinity's hull is made from, which is why scavengers leave these ships mostly in tact. For the sake of determining Hardness and HP for objects (likely structures if you're looking here), glaucite performs the same as steel.
| Item | Level | Hardness | HP | BT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thin item | 1 | 5 | 20 | 10 |
| Item | 1 | 9 | 36 | 18 |
| Structure | 1 | 18 | 72 | 36 |
