Robot RP :: EXP The Game of Technological Chaos

Robot RP Relevance

Not all RPs are created equal. Some personas are less important than others. The referee usually knows the importance of the persona before she starts generation. An RP’s relevance increases the more entangled they are with the expedition.

**Random Referee Persona Relevance**
Determine the persona’s importance to the expedition and story.

Die Roll	Relevance

Note the difference between CaNNon Fodder and CaNon Fodder. Author thought this was funny.

Cannon Fodder

Cannon fodder are like movie extras that fill in the background. Robot cannon fodder are inorganic machines operating in the background. These robots are delivery drones, cashiers, or elevators.

Cannon Fodder

offer no opposition
have no useful information
have no nutritional value, monetary value or useful parts.

Any combat contact will utterly destroy robotic cannon fodder. Destroying robotic cannon fodder is not without consequence. Cannon fodder is always property, and destroying it may anger a corporation or a powerful entity.

Canon Fodder

Canon fodder may have bit parts in the story but does not make the story. Robot canon fodder can be security sentries, attack drones, or angry shopping carts.

Canon Fodder

could act in opposition to the expedition’s goals
could injure or kill a player persona
could accidentally alter the story of a campaign
could have information or treasure

The referee usually predetermines the goal of canon fodder. The referee creates as much information as needed. For example, security sentries protecting a plantation may only have a lazer and bonus proficient on her combat table. The security sentries may all look the same, but with different id numbers.

Canon fodder can be extremely dangerous to the expedition. They are there to get in the way of the player’s goals. The referee should complete a persona record sheet for robot canon fodder. There are too many moving parts with robot RPs to make them on the fly.

Canonical Persona

Canonical personas are like supporting actors that make the story possible. These referee personas are integral participants in the campaign story. They can be powerful recurring enemies or comrades in arms. Canonical referee personas are the real deal. These referee personas utilize every step of persona creation. They have all the dressings of a player persona. Only the player personas are more important to the story.

Robot RP Type

For player personas determining their robot type is a laborious process. The referee can use the Single Roll Robot Type Table below. One roll using a 1d1000 chooses the robot RP type. The referee should massage the robot type to suit her campaign’s milieu.

Fabricator Type

Where fabricator type does play a role is in delivering orders to the robot. If a fabricator type tells a robot what to do, it is more likely to comply. In short, the robot’s fabricator type is more successful at bossing the robot around. If a fabricator type makes a reasonable, on mission command to a robot, it would almost certainly result in a control factor roll. For more information about the implications of the fabricator type jump to Robot Fabricator.

Robot RP Attributes

Inverse to player personas, the RP robot’s type determines her attributes. While the table looks imposing, it is much faster than the player personas process. The attribute lookup table gives the direct attribute scores. The referee determines the robot’s prime attributes after her regular attributes.

**Robot RP Attributes**
Attributes are based on robot type. MSTR = 0. SOC = 1d1000.

Robot RP Size

The robot size consists of the robot’s wate and the robot’s hite. The wate of the robot plays a role in ramming damage. Heavier robots inflict more damage. The hite of the robot determines its rough volume. Bigger robots don’t fit as well into anthro-sized spaces.

Extremely Tiny Robots

Any robot that has a wate of 4.2 kg or less has a chance of becoming an extremely small nanorobot. The chance of the robot becoming a nanorobot is 1 in 6 (1d6) Nanorobots have a wate of 0 to 999 grams (1d1000-1). A nanorobot cannot have a wate greater than a kilogram. Nano robots have no change to their attributes, abilities or combat values.

Extremely Gigantic Robots

Any robot with a wate of 4200 kg or more has a chance of becoming a mighty machine. The chance of the robot becoming a mighty machine is 1 in 6 (1d6). Mighty machines have a wate of 6 to 600 tons (1d100 times 6). MIghty machines have no change to their attributes, abilities or combat values. However, in regards to ramming, mighty machines can increase their ramming ratio to 12 (versus 4).

Hite

Hite gives an estimation of the volume occupied by the robot. The referee rolls dimensions once for each of hite, width and length. A hexagon is 200 cm across.

**Robot Dimensions**
Roll per dimension required Hite, width, length. Results in centimeters (cm).

Robot RP Armour Rating

Robot RPs have an AR of 700. A robot AR is the same as any other persona AR. A successful attack roll damages the robot as it would any other persona. Robots are different from organic personas and damage differently. Robot RPs are easy to hit but hard to destroy.

Robot RP Movement Rate

The robot’s dexterity score determines her movement rate. Robots are twice as fast as those other personas with the same DEX. Those robots which move faster than eight h/u must accelerate the same as vehicles. Robotic acceleration is one hex per unit per PSTR prime score.

**Robotic Movement Rate**
Robotic DEX determines movement rate in hexes per unit (h/u).

Robot RP Wate Allowance

Bots are affected by encumbrance, though not as much as other referee personas. Physical strength determines the weight allowance of the robot. A robot with a PSTR level of 3 and a 17 PSTR would have a wate allowance of 75 kgs. Robot size does not affect a robot’s wate allowance. For more information about carry stuff, jump to Encumbrance.

**Robotic Wate Allowance**
Wate Allowance (WA) is determined by PSTR score and range.

Robot RP Systems

Robotic RPs may have offensive, defensive and peripheral systems. Generating systems for player persona robots is convoluted and fun. The referee can find the number of rolls for each system on the single lookup table below. The lookup table seems scary, but it is scientifically proven to be faster than the player robot persona method.

Offensive Systems

These are the systems that harm others. On the lower level tables, the robot is misusing and weaponizing malfunctioning peripherals. On the higher level tables, the robot is using weapons baked-in during fabrication. The referee will dance back and forth between the attack tables, creating a murderous melange of machinery.

Ramming

All robots can ram, but not without challenges. Only robots with ramming freedom can fling themselves around with self-destructive abandon. For more info about robot ramming, ram your way over to Robot Ramming.

Robot RP Control Factor

Calculate the persona’s control factor here. For more details jump to Control Factor.

Calculate Control Factor

CF= (INT score) + (INT Prime* EXPS Level)

A 3rd level robot with a 15 INT score, and a 3 INT Prime has a CF = 24

Robot RP Adaptability

If there is a need to know the referee persona’s adaptability check the fabrication info for the robot type.

Robot RP Value

Most referee persona robots do not like to talk about their value. If there is a need to know the referee persona’s value check the fabrication info for the robot type.

Robot RP Tech Level

Tech level alters the wate and size of artifacts. There is no mechanism in EXP for altering robots based on their tech level. Is a high tech level robot less able to ram because it is now lighter? Tech level could increase the value of a robot, improve its power plant, and overall alter its appearance. Would steam power a low tech level robot? For more info and the effects of altering tech levels, jump to Tech Level.

Robot RP Age

Robots do not age. Unlike organic life forms, robots only decay from damage and not time. The longer it has been since fabrication allows for an estimate of how much damage the robot has experienced. The robot age table was previously called the decrepitude table.

Robot RP Combat Table

The combat table keeps track of the persona’s combat skills and increases with EXPS level. The referee may need two combat tables for her tool using aliens. For general info about combat tables, jump to Combat Tables in tactical combat. For a detailed explanation of the outline below jump to Robot Combat Table.

This combat table is for baked-in offensive systems and ramming freedom. Robot RPs only have a bonus proficient (BP) for their baked-in attacks. If a robot RP manages to use a gun, her BP is zero. If the robot type is Android (A), then the referee must make an anthro-like vocation-based combat table as well. For the vocation based combat table, jump to Anthro combat table.

A 3rd level robot has the following attributes: 12 AWE, 12 DEX, 10 INT, and 16 PSTR. Her robotic primes are DEX of 2, INT of 2, and PSTR of 3

Combat ratio can alter numbers.

Robot RP Combat Ratio

Combat Ratio (CR) is how tough the referee persona is. The CR is a number that pretends to measure how dangerous an RP is in combat. The higher the combat ratio, the more powerful an adversary the referee persona is. The CR is used to determine the EXPS value and number of attackers.

The Combat Ratio number indicates how many player personas represent a fair fight. For this process, a player persona is a level one anthro persona with a typical combat table.

A CR of 20 indicates that the solitary referee persona could handle 20 player personas. This referee persona is very dangerous. A CR of 1/10 indicates that ten referee personas are needed to fight one player persona. This referee persona is very weak in combat.

The combat ratio does not determine precisely how many referee personas show up in an encounter. The milieu and the story determine the number of referee personas., not the CR.

Calculating a Combat Ratio

RPs initial CR is 1
Add all the Pluses to the CR
Multiply all the Times to the CR
Combat ratio does not follow BODMAS

CR = (1 + all Pluses) * all Times

An RP with a Plus 1, Plus 4, Plus 2, Times 1.25, and Times 2.0
(1 + 1 + 4 + 2) * 1.25 * 2.0 = 20
