Robots (Race)

Before the apocalypse, robots had become an ubiquitous part of modern life. Cleaning robots swept the floors, security robots patrolled the streets, and combat robots served in the military. Some of these robots have survived to this day, and a rare few of them have chosen to strike out on their own, adventuring alongside their organic counterparts.

Creating a Robot Character
Creating a robot character is much different than creating a character of a normal race. Robots vary wildly in appearance, abilities, and aptitudes based on what they were originally designed for. The robot creation process is as follows:
 * Select Robot Type: The type of robot you choose determines your ability modifiers.
 * Select Size: Player-Character robots can be Medium or Small.
 * Systems and Accessories: Robot characters have a number of "system points" to spend on robotic accessories.

Robot Types
Robots come in five general "types", though there is significant variation in each type.

Attache/Service
+2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma, -2 Strength: Robots of this type served as diplomatic aids and translators, as well as personal assistants and butlers.

Combat/Security
+2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, -2 Intelligence: Robots of this type were typically military or police models built for fighting.

Labor/Utility
+4 Strength, -2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence: Robots of this type were designed for manual labor, tasked with mining, loading cargo, and other physical tasks.

Maintenance/Technical
+2 Intelligence, +2 Strength, -2 Charisma: Robots of this type were built to repair and maintain the world around them, and were a common sight in workshops and garages.

Medical/Scientific
+2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, -2 Strength: Robots of this type were designed to assist in medical care and scientific research.

Robot Size
Robots came in all shapes and sizes, from microscopic nanobots to hulking giants the size of buildings. However, player-character robots are required to be either Medium or Small.

Medium robots have no special modifiers for their size. Small robots apply the following ability score modifiers: +2 Dexterity, -2 Strength.

Systems and Accessories
A robot character is assumed to have either the Walking or Tracked locomotion system and have 100 system points to spend on additional locomotion systems, appendages, systems, and accessories. See the Robot Systems and Accessories page for details.
