Subject: [HOE] Android Edge
i promised a full edge with a table, so here it
is.
BTW, anyone that's read my story can maybe
understand better where nix came from.

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.
another
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. oh yeah, choose a tech spirit type, so you can
determine which powers you can use.
Android Table:
2:you're an early
android. not so well-built. your maximum die type for any
corporeal trait is d10.
3:A labor 'bot is where you made your home.
all corporeal traits gain a die type to a maximum of d12, but all your
mental traits lose a die type to a minimum of d4.
4:You found a maid
robot to inhabit. nothing changes.
5:You found your way into a
pleasure 'bot. gain the edges purty, the voice:soothing, and raise
your mien a step to a maximum of d12. also, you get the randy
hinderance.
6:Your body is that of an infiltration android. gain 3
levels of sneak and raise your nimbleness by a die type.
7:Yours is a pit
fighter. Gain the hinderances bloodthirsty, vengeful, and mean as a
rattler, but raise any two corporeal traits by a die type.
8:You've got a
teacher bot's body. Raise your knowledge by a die type and gain your
choice of any acadamia at level 5. The problem with this, however, is
that your body wasn't built to fight. subtract a die type from your
strength, vigor, and quickness.
9:You made your way into a tactical
droid. gain leadership at level 3, and raise your smarts by a die
type.
10:A scout droid seemed good enough for you. Get 3 levels of search
and trackin', and raise your cognition by a die type to a max of
d12.
j:Your body is a hazardous-materials 'bot. Raise deftness by 2
steps, and vigor by one.
q:You found a soldier bot to enter. Raise
stength, quickness, and vigor by one die type.
k:Lucyily enough, you got
a late-model assasin android as your body. get sneak at level 4, raise
numbleness by 2 die types.
a:You got into a junker-built android.
You probably asked him to do it for you, too. choose
another browser type:you can use both of their powers now.
jr:your spirit
is really human. how you got mistaken for a tech spirit is for you to
figure out. but, remove the restriction on your spirit, and raise it a
step from what it was before you reduced it, to a maximum of d12. You
can choose what kind of body you want.
jb:your robot has a
malfunction. let your GM worry about what it does to you, she can be
really nasty about it too.
