[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6359009, member: 57383"] OK, how's this for a start, I'll figure out the "Defective Warrior Droid" bit later: [I]Humanoid in form, this being resembles a warrior in full body armor. The "armor" is actually the metallic skin of some kind of construct or automata. It has the proportions of an athletic human, with simplified features and jointed limbs. Its face is an idealized mask set with clear crystal lenses for eyes[/I]. A droid is an artificial creature manufactured by nonmagical technologies far more sophisticated than exist in most known worlds. The warrior droid is a standard design intended for general-purpose combat. It has an anthropomorphic design that allows it to use the same weapons and armour as a regular humanoid. Warrior droids are normally found barracked in high technology installations, such as military outposts built by an extraterrestrial centauroid species who call themselves the masters. Warrior droids are designed for combat, so do not have the safety codes that hinder civilian droid models from attacking members of an "owner race". They usually had safety codes to prevent them targeting allies and members of whatever martial organization they belong to, plus protocols requiring them to obey officers of particular ranks or units. Droids can speak a special language of buzzes and beeps called Code. There are many dialects of Code, most of which are mutually unintelligible. A warrior droid speaks Code Standard (the droid equivalent of Common) and Code Security (a dialect that encrypts the speech with a password). A message sent using Code Security can only be understood by a listener who speaks Code Security and knows the password the message was sent with. A creature can figure out the password of a Code Security message with a DC 35 Decipher Script check. In addition, most droids are capable of normal humanoid speech. A standard warrior droid speaks Common and one other language, such as Draconic. A warrior droid's anthropomorphic body stands 6 feet 6 inches tall and it weighs 275 pounds. [SIZE=3][B]Combat [/B][/SIZE]Warrior droids have a solid if unimaginative grasp of small unit tactics. If they encounter potential hostiles they follow whatever "engagement protocols" they have been instructed to. A group of warrior droids constantly uses their radiospeech ability to coordinate their actions against their opponents. A warrior droid will act to preserve itself it it does not contradict its orders, but will emotionlessly fight to the death or self-destruct if instructed to do so. They are intelligent creatures, so are able to adapt their behavior to some extent to cope with unexpected situations, although only a highly defective one would actually disobey its orders. [/QUOTE]
