REMOVING SECURITY LOCKS
Success Rate:
70% + skill level - robot level
If a robot has a security lock, the lock must be
removed before someone can list the robot's
functions or alter its functions or mission. A robot
can be deactivated before the security lock is
removed. Once a security lock has been removed it
can not be used again.
LISTING FUNCTIONS
Success Rate:
90% + skill level - robot level
A robotics expert can learn a robot's exact mission
and functions, as well as get a list of all the
programs in the robot, by using this subskill. Once
a character has successfully listed the robot's
function's, he can always list that robot's functions.
ALTERING FUNCTIONS
Success Rate:
60% + skill level - robot level
A robotics expert can change one of a robot's
functions at a time. The character must roll
separately for each function altered. Changing an
48
altered function back to the original also requires a
new roll. Changing a function takes 1d10 minutes. If
the new function violates the robot's mission or
requires programs the robot does not have, the
robot will ignore the new function.
ALTERING MISSION
Success Rate:
50% + skill level - robot level
A robotics expert can try to alter a robot's mission.
This takes 1d10 minutes plus the robot's level.
Changing the robot's mission does not affect its
functions; these must be altered individually. Once a
mission has been changed, changing it back to the
original mission requires another roll. If the new
mission requires programs the robot does not have,
the robot will still try to follow its new mission
however it can.
Robot Malfunctions
If a character fails a roll to remove a security lock or
alter a robot's function or mission, the robot can
malfunction. When this happens, the referee should
roll d100 on the Malfunction Table.
