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.

The Abilities of monsters can be traded for other abilities, with one exception: certain abilities are named "Special (Some Category)". Those Abilities count as the named category, and cannot be removed.

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.

RC Car

RC Car.jpg

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 Car
Common   —   1 points
AD  3     GD 3     Will 0     HP  1     Toughness 2
Muscle -4     Accuracy  0     Save DC 4     Magic Power -2
Stealth 0     Perception 0     Agility 0
Descriptors  [ Machine ]
Movement  12 meter land speed with 0.5 meter jump. 5 meter sink distance.
Size  0.25 meters     Reach 0.25 meters
Carrying Capacity 0.625 kilograms      Weight 1 Kilogram
Extras  Small

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.

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 Cloud.png

A Nanobot Cloud is an amorphous cloud of flying nanobots. It can functionally manifest up to 3 hands at a time.

Nanobot clouds require the Coordinated Nanotechnology technology.

Extras  Quick

The nanobot cloud has a wireless connection that cannot be turned off.

It has auditory and TEMPEST senses, but no visual one.

Its incredible amorphousness makes it immune to the Grappled condition, and it can change its size from anywhere between 0.25 to 5 meters whenever it takes a non-lesser action.

Nanobot clouds are moderately smart, and eat gasoline.

Advancement

Charged Cloud (5 points): The Nanobot Cloud gains 1 Power Regeneration and an Advanced Specialty.
