Jump to: navigation, search

Monsters are a special type of creature that don't use the normal character building rules. If a monster lists a statistic, that replaces the normal value.

Monsters can be given additional Extras as desired.

Partially or fully organic monsters can be given up to 3 Augments or Genomorphs per tier, up to their tier, at the same price as for normal characters. This is in addition to the Advancements listed, unless the monster specifies that it can receive classes.

An RC Car is a very small vehicle with four wheels. It only has one "hand", a grabbing claw projecting from its back.

With the Advanced AI technology, the RC Car is about as smart as a dog.

RC Cars can be controlled by a two-handed handheld radio controller with built-in two-way video and audio capacity, at a distance of up to 50 meters, or they can have an active wireless and be controlled directly that way.

Advancement

Turbocharged (2 points): The RC Car gets +12 meters to land speed and one Basic Specialty.

Combat Ready (2 points): The RC Car gets +1 Toughness and +1 AD. It gains one Basic Specialty.

Bug (0 points): Instead of wheels, the RC Car has legs. This reduces its land speed by 33% but quadruples its jump distance.

Boat (0 points): Instead of wheels, the RC Car is a submarine. This removes its land speed, but gives it a 12 meter swim speed with 0 meter sink distance.

Helicopter (6 points): The RC Car has a gyroscopically stabilized rotor. This gives it a fly speed of 10 meters, with a 0.5 meter aerobatics distance. It gains three Basic Specialties.

Self-Rearranging Furniture

Self-rearranging furniture is furniture with motorized legs.

Self-rearranging furniture requires the Advanced AI technology.

Self-rearranging furniture has no hands, but it can make Heavy Unarmed attacks for 1d6+1 Physical damage. Self-rearranging furniture obeys voice commands given by any character whose voice it has been told to recognize.

Advancement

Extra Large (2 points + Extra): The furniture is something like a couch or refrigerator. It gets the Big Extra, for the normal price. It's bulky enough to serve as total cover for things immediately behind it. If it successfully hits with an unarmed attack, it may fall Prone to make the attack deal +2 damage.

Botnet and Hiveputer

Both the Botnet and the Hiveputer are Regiments of computers with a hacking bonus of +0 that do coordinated hacks by request. The difference between them is that a hiveputer is a bunch of personal computers wired up for this purpose, while the botnet is a much larger collection of computers used by other people that devote a very small amount of resources to this purpose.

A Hiveputer is destroyed by simply finding the collection of computers and blowing them up.

A Botnet is destroyed by people running virus checkers. 2d6% of the botnet is lost per week.

It costs 15 points for every 10 hacker's-worth of computers in a Hiveputer, or 25 points for every 10 hacker's-worth for a Botnet.

Nanobot Cloud

Nanobot clouds are moderately smart, and eat gasoline.

Advancement

Biosculpted Killbeast

Biosculpted Killbeast.png

Built out of ordinary cells of extinct species, these bioprinted creatures come fully formed with intelligent minds that have been designed to seek to serve their buyer. In order to mollify the environmental crowd and win subsidies, biosculpted killbeasts produce offspring to revive no longer extant species such as dodos, pandas, thylacines, and mosquitoes. Biosculpted killbeasts have some variety in appearance, although they are all lithe and quadrupedal, and their fur, scales, or bony plates are typically printed in the company colors of their purchaser, usually with the logo appearing at least once.

Biosculpted killbeasts are quite smart and can speak. They require the bioprinting technology.
