Spacer's Toolkit Online Updated (11/06/03)

[Ben Seeman]

I've added the M-339 POINTMAN SCOUT robot to the Online Toolkit.

As always, more to come...

It's about time something was posted from someone other than yours truly.

Although the M-339 is cool enough that I wish I'd thought of it....

I do have a few questions/comments about the M-339, in case Peter's watching this thread.

1) GPS isn't Bump Of Direction. A compass would be Bump Of Direction; a GPS is Detect Exact Position On Planet (as already established in published works).

2) I'm not quite clear on what the Dependence does. I think it has something to do with the 24 hour limit mentioned in the third paragraph of the description, but it really isn't very clear.

3) How much would its Reputation actually affect it negatively during play?

4) What's the deal with the "Hunter-Killer Anti-Robots"?

5) Is the "Heuristic Computer" Physical Limitation supposed to be equivalent to "Affected By Cyberkinesis"?

6) Wouldn't the two Social Limitations be better represented by the single "Robot" Social Limitation from the main TE book?

This isn't even taking into account some of the variances from the established format for published character sheets; I assume the results here were taken directly from a Hero Designer file, without editing.
