Mass Produce Some Random Robots

[Wizardawn]

If you need some quick droids, visit the Mutant Future section of the Graveyard. There you can create up to 100 random robots to use in your campaign. Go ahead and create a few to find that one special robot you may have been looking for. Generate a few hundred of them and print yourself an encyclopedia of robots to use for your games. The format I used is more in the form of Mutant Future's "Monster" layout instead of the robot layout used in the "Technological Artifacts" section. I find this format easier to use because these robots are mostly used as encounters. Each robot will have a gold value based on hit dice, saving throws, attacks, accessories and weapons. This will allow you to have these robots for sale, or even let the characters sell any robots they successfully deactivate. So feel free to start your own robot factory and mass produce some droids by clicking on the banner below...

Great Work! This is extremely useful, and only minimal effort is needed to make them useful in a game (or not, if you're gunning for wacky). Here is what I rolled up:

KLPO-H6 Pioneer Droid
No. Enc.: 1
Movement: 170' (85')
Armor Class: 3
Hit Dice: 25
Attacks: 2(claws)/1(jaw)
Damage: 1d8/1d8/1d12
Save: L8
THAC0: 5
Accessories: Loading Mechanism
Weaponry: None
Value: 3,250gp

The KLPO-H6 Pioneer Droid is a exploration droid that runs on power cells and is made mostly of duralloy. It is built in the form of a rat and is about 6 feet in size. It has 4 mechanical legs that allow it to walk around. The robot moves at half speed when navigating obstructions, stairs, or poor surface conditions. Only robots equipped with legs can jump. It has Class I sensors that includes a low-res video camera and a basic audio receiver(receiving a penalty of -2 to hit).

Loading Mechanism: A loading mechanism allows a robot to reload a single handheld weapon as a full-round action. The mechanism can hold enough ammunition to reload the weapon three times, whether it is a slug thrower or an energy weapon. A robot can have multiple loading mechanisms-one for each weapon it carries.

(normally, I just give that accessory to another robot - one that is armed - and roll another accessory for this unit)

Damage: 1d8
Save: L12
THAC0: 5
Accessories: Photon Screen
Weaponry: None
Value: 4,250gp

The LS1-U2 Capture Mech is a retrievel mech that runs on power cells and is made mostly of duraplastic. It is a standard robot build and is about 10 feet in size. It has a propeller for air travel. It cannot travel on land without another mode of locomotion. If for some reason the robot`s speed drops below its base speed during any given round, it falls. It has Class II sensors that includes hi-res video sensors, a hi-fidelity audio sensor, a chemical vapor scanner, and a pressure sensor that enables the robot to perform tasks requiring manual dexterity.

Photon Screen: Using a series of light reflectors molded to the robot`s frame, this unit bends light around the robot, rendering it invisible. Any items carried by the robot also become invisible. Any being attacking an invisible robot suffers -4 to hit.

A06Q9-K Assassin Bot
No. Enc.: 1
Movement: 30' (15')
Armor Class: 2
Hit Dice: 25
Attacks: 1(pincers) or 1(weapon)
Damage: 1d4 or by weapons
Save: L13
THAC0: 5
Accessories: AV Recorder, Self-Destruct System
Weaponry: Gauss Machine Pistol
Value: 3,450gp

The A06Q9-K Assassin Bot is a combat bot that runs on minifusion cells and is made mostly of neovulcanium. It is a standard robot build and is about 5 feet in size. It follows a preset track and cannot deviate from that course. If the robot is somehow separated from the track, it becomes effectively stationary. The robot can maneuver over an obstacle only if the track leads over the obstacle, but if something obstructs the track, the robot comes to a halt. It has Class IV sensors that includes hi-res video sensors with night vision (out to 60`), hi-fidelity audio sensors, a chemical vapor scanner, pressure sensors, and either a ladar or sonar system. Ladar uses laser detectors and ranging sensors to rapidly play low-powered laser beams across the robot`s surroundings, allowing it to locate targets. Sonar sensors are used mostly in subaquatic environments, but the technology works almost as well in the air. By bouncing sound waves off objects and measuring the length of time it takes to receive an echo, sonar can produce a clear image of the robot`s surroundings (receiving a +1 to hit when using ranged weapons).

AV Recorder: This audio and video recorder unit uses the robot`s video and audio sensors to record and store information.

Self-Destruct System: Self-destruct systems ensure that the robot cannot be captured, analyzed, and reprogrammed. The default self-destruct system is rigged to detonate when the robot is reduced to 0 hit points, but it can be modified to trigger under certain circumstances, such as if a code word is uttered. The self-destruct system obliterates the robot regardless of how many hit points it has left. A robot destroyed by its own self-destruct system has no salvageable parts. The robot`s self-destruction triggers an explosion of shrapnel that deals collateral damage to creatures within 10` of the robot.

("Nothing keeps me from me from the target; as long as the track remains cleared of obstacles.")

EZY-20C Military Droid
No. Enc.: 1
Movement: 30' (15')

(normally, I just give that accessory to another robot - one that is armed - and roll another accessory for this unit)

This is what I wanted to do, but I had a glitch in the code that I fixed this morning...so this should not happen anymore. If you did not point this one out...it would have taken awhile to notice. The code is supposed to check if the robot has a "weapon mount" or "loading mechanism"...if it does...then it gives the robot a minimum of 1 weapon instead of rerolling for an accessory. Thanks for the catch.

No prob, Djeryv. I like to foolproof things.
