Star Trek Voyager RPG d20 System

Corruption and Complexity
Computer systems, despite every safe guard, become in more danger of failure the more complicated
they become. Also, if not under a regular maintenance regime then corruption may also occur.
Complexity points are gained as follows:
+1 point per level
+1 point per feat
+1 point per 10 skill ranks
+1 point per 5 skill ranks gained form uploading
Corruption points are gained as follows:
+1 point per week not given any maintenance.
+1 point per HP damage taken
Whenever the GM deems it appropriate (such as well taking heavy damage from phaser fire or
carrying out a day’s worth of highly complicated tasks) a corruption check should be made. Roll a
d100 aiming to get more than the complexity level + corruption level. Normal day to day activity would
not trigger a corruption check.
A failure means that a roll is made on the table below:
01-50 No immediate effect, but general degradation of systems. +1 to corruption
51-60 -1 temporary modifier to a random INT based skill until repaired
61-70 -1 temporary modifier to a random Stat until repaired
71-80 Temporary confusion - stunned for d4 rounds
81-90 Temporary slowing of systems - 2 to all rolls until repaired
91-99 -50xp as memories are lost
00 System crash. In effect unconscious until repaired
Removing Corruption
The persons reversing the corruption of the AI/Android must have at least 3 ranks in Repair, 3 ranks in
Write Program and at least 1 rank in Knowledge(Robotics), otherwise they will do more harm than
good.
DC 20+(AIs level) Repair check to fix. Takes 24-Repair skill hours. This removes Repair skill level +
Write Program + Knowledge(Robotics) points of corruption.
An android or AI may maintain itself of course, but not as effectively as a well-trained outsider. When
self-maintaining all DC checks are DC 25+(AIs level) and Corruption will never go below 5 (unless its
below 5 already).
A critical failure (fail on a roll of 1) adds d6 points of Corruption.
