Robot Stats

[bighara]

Looking at the section on robots, I'm curious how other people handle things like movement stats (the locomotion options don't list rates). Also, what about saving throws?

The normal rules suggests using normal human speed, but I dont play by the normal rules. I tend to use robots from Gamma World and Star Frontiers, in my own games. Although, I say common sense should work. As for saves, use the HIt Dice (mind you, most robots in the book have a lot of HD). With HD, I note 5 hp per HD, like in GW. Alternatively, I could use shp, which is also equal to 5 hp, but I don't really use shp - hell, the book rarely uses shp (see Vehicles, in Technological Artifacts).

THIS might help you as well...as it uses Mutant Future rules to generate random robots. Even if you just want to look at some to get ideas.
