torelin32 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm using 4th ed. rules (can't afford 5th ed yet) and I was just wondering if it possible to add a computer to a suit of powered armor, which would take over when the operator became unconscious, and how it be written up. Really could use the help. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Democracy Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Re: Need a little help. Personally I would buy a block of STUN (for example +15) that represented the STUN from 1-15 of the total. When the character's STUN drops below 16 then he becomes an automaton. You could represent that as a multiform triggered by the drop in STUN or you might simply do it as a psych lim: when STUN below 16 character acts according to a simple set of pre-set rules. You would have to decide what the computer is set up to do and agree with the player on that. If it simply alloed the player to carry on then it is SFX of low STUN and there is no real drawback or benefit to the change. I am assuming that the idea is that the suit will attempt to remove the character to a place of safety to recuperate? You could do that with a simple triggered teleport limited by the fact that the character must be able to move bodily thorugh the intervening space and it would take time. The rest is all SFX....
