Protectron
Manufactured by RobCo Industries as an inexpensive work drone, your model was one of the company’s most popular robots that put many Americans out of work before the Great War. Protectrons were built for various construction, security, and administrative tasks. Factory models were used for manual labor. Office models were programmed with integrated administrative software. Firefighter models used internal cryojets to suppress dangerous flames. Medic models featured built-in defibrillators. Police models contained stronger armor and enhanced tasers for crowd control. You might have come from one of these manufacturing lines or another entirely.
Your body is humanoid in shape and covered in light armor plating. Not initially designed for combat, the wasteland is full of resources you can use to protect
yourself and others. Unless you have received software or hardware upgrades, you speak in a robotic monotone like other Protectrons. Most Protectrons do almost anything to defend those their programming determines to be allies.
A long time has passed since your creation. You may have been a worker drone, but now you are much more. Your original programming still drives your
behavior and actions, though it might have decayed or become twisted. You could be one of the few Protectrons to achieve true self-awareness and resist
your programming. In the wild wasteland, it is up to you to decide whether your ancient programming will define you—or whether you define who you are by
your own directives.
Trait: Protect or Destroy
You were built to survive in harsh environments. Once per scene, you may reroll a test to overcome an environmental hazard and use the new result. You are also immune to disease, and Radiation and Poison damage, but you cannot use chems, nor can you benefit from food, drink, or rest. You cannot recover from your injuries or heal health points without receiving repairs (see Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook, Chapter 2: Combat, Healing Robots, p.34). Protectrons are designed for a specific purpose and contain additional mechanisms to support their programmed tasks. You cannot have more than two robot mods installed simultaneously. You may be a Fire Brigadier, Law Enforcer, Construction Worker, Medical Responder, or a model of your own invention. When making a test directly related to your model’s purpose, the first d20 you buy using Action Points costs 0. Additionally, your carry weight is 225 lbs. and cannot be increased by your Strength or perks, but it can be increased by modified armor. Protectron WeaponsWeapon | EFFECT |
---|---|
Claws | You make unarmed attacks with a pair of opposable claws. The claws inflict 3CD Physical damage and can benefit from your melee damage derived statistic and perks for unarmed attacks. |
Cryojet | You can fire a jet of cryogenic spray, rapidly cooling targets. The cryojet uses cryo cells for ammunition, PER + Energy Weapons for attacks, causes 3CD Energy damage with the Burst and Freeze damage effects. More information on the cryojet can be found on p 93. |
Self-Destruct | You explode and are destroyed in the process, and cannot be repaired. When you make this attack, you make a ranged attack using END + Explosives, dealing 6CD Energy damage, with the Blast effect at Close range. |
Shock Hand | You make unarmed attacks with a pair of staticly-charged defibrillators. These hands inflict 4CD Energy damage and can benefit from your melee damage derived statistic and perks for unarmed attacks. You cannot manipulate objects that require fine dexterity due to the lack of claws. |
