Re: [HOE] New edge--android



oops, forgot a bit..first, you choose a tech spirit type.  also, you can't get mutations or mysterious pasts, but you do draw from an "android table" that determines the strength of your tech spirit and the quality of your body.

Your waster's one of those andriods that had an "awakening".  In truth, what usually happened was that a tech spirit wandered into the AI programming for an early andriod and it now has all the benefits of personality and free will.  yipee!  What this means in game terms is that you suffer wounds like harrowed, only a shot to the head will destroy you.  then, your tech spirit self is blown all to hell. unless you have the smarts to evacuate the body(it takes about 5 minutes), that means you're gone forever, no hunting grounds for you.
one disadvantage of this is that the AI still has a small but noticable grasp on you, lowering your spirit die type to a maximum of d6. plus, you can't buy any other arcane background. ow.  but, being part tech spirit and all, you can use ANY of the powers that your browser spirit type has at level 6(still costs chips, look at the junkman cometh).  in addition, you still have a link with the hunting grounds and may help direct tech spirits to a junker, giving said junker a +3 to his science:occult engineering roll for building a device.
