Robot RCC
Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2014 7:56 pm
Hello fellow travelers! I did some searches and came up with nada for discussion on the Robot RCC discribed in sourcebook 1. I hoped my subject title would help to have something available to the next traveler.
The first thing for conjecture is that the ME, MA, and PE stats are not available for robots. I can understand ME and PE since the Robotic and Neural intelligences are technically not alive and run off of a power source. Neural is just so life-like that it seems like it has ME, but it actually can has a 'pre-programmed response for everything.' MA is different, I feel. The robot would have to try to have affinity for social situations, for example convincing someone of something. A neural intelligence has the programming to trick people... so it makes sense that it should have an MA. I was thinking of doing a 1d6 roll for the 'retard stat' as we call it. I would imagine this robot is foreign in nature. The other option would be to forgo any interaction with npc's for the purposes of convincing.
The second item would be repairs. I was thinking that the body of the robot would be repairable by a robotic engineer and mdc by operator. No one can repair the neural network, but archie 3 on earth.
Thanks ahead time! Hopefully the discussion will be helpful for future endeavors!
