Robot Attributes

The player generates these regular attributes the same as she would for any other persona. She rolls the assigned dice and records the score on her persona record sheet. The regular attributes are awareness (AWE), charisma (CHA) and social standing (SOC).

These attributes are specific only to robot personas. The first irregular attribute is the control factor (CF). Robot Control Factor determines whether a robot maintains its free will. Robot Type may keep a robot from doing where her persona wants. For more info about this attribute test jump to Control Factor.

The second irregular attribute is mental strength (MSTR). Robot personas have a mental strength score of zero. A zero mental strength does not indicate that robots are psionically vulnerable and easily manipulated. Robots do not have mental strength because their consciousness does not exist within the Think Space. Robots are unaffected by mental attacks that function through the Think Space. Robots cannot be mind-controlled or subject to telempathy or have their mind read. If a robot must test her MSTR, she will use her intelligence score instead.

Prime attributes are the robot persona’s most important attributes. The prime attributes determine the persona’s robot type and indicate each attribute score’s range. The prime attributes are constitution, dexterity, intelligence and physical strength.

Each prime attribute has a value between 1 and 4 (1d4). The higher the prime score, the higher the final attribute score will be. The player records the prime attribute score on the robot persona record. The prime scores are immutable, and while the robot’s attribute score deteriorates, her prime score does not.

A player that rolls a three for PSTR prime has a PSTR prime of 3. The player will also generate a conventional attribute score based on the prime attribute value. Each prime attribute has a prime score (1-4) and an attribute score (1-29).

The player would first generate her persona’s regular attributes. She rolls 3d6 for her awareness and charisma and a 1d1000 for her social standing. Her persona’s regular attributes scores are 11 AWE, 8 CHA and 653 SS. She records these scores on her persona record.

The player then generates her prime attributes (CON, DEX, INT and PSTR) using a 1d4. Her persona’s prime attributes are 1 CON, 2 DEX, 3 INT and 4 MSTR. She then generates the regular scores for each of the prime attributes. Based on her prime attributes, she rolls 1d8 for her CON, 1d6+7 for her DEX, 1d6+13 for her INT and 1d10+19 for her PSTR. Her prime attributes have two values each. Her CON has a prime of 1 and a score of 6. Her DEX has a prime of 2 and a score of 11. Her INT has a prime of 3 and a score of 18. Her PSTR has a prime of 4 and a score of 27.

The attribute primes will determine the persona robot type. The attribute score will determine how the robot performs in the game.
