INTERMEDIATE CLASS:
NAME OF CLASS: Trashbot Upgrading - Intermediate
PROFESSOR NAME: Moira *********, Janitor
Prerequisites:
- Must be Y2 or above.
- Must have passed Trashology 101 and have earned the Beginner Trashbot Summon learned ability.
General Information: Those who have learned to summon their own little Trashbots have found the mechanical devices to be very helpful, or at least not very unhelpful. But they are small and a little puny, and could stand to be upgraded. But you'll have to upgrade it yourself... are you up to the challenge?
Fortunately, Moira has a lovely, if greasy, robotics workshop where she does maintenance for all the full-size Trashbots! And she's more than happy to let her faithful students use it.
Mechanics:
Step One:
After arriving in the workshop, summon your Trashbot as you normally would, rolling 1d4.
--- If you roll a 1, your Trashbot arrives looking a bit dinged up. Your Trashbot's starting HP is 15.
--- If you roll 2 or 3, your Trashbot looks pretty much the way it always does. Your Trashbot's starting HP is 20.
--- If you roll a 4, your Trashbot arrives gleaming and in peak condition! Your Trashbot's starting HP is 25.
Step Two:
You must select your components. There's a nice box of scraps available for your perusal. Roll 4d8 - the numbers you roll determines what you'll be working with to upgrade your Trashbot. If you roll two of the same number, that's fine - you'll just install two identical items onto your Trashbot.
You'll also note that each component has a number after it in brackets. Keep that number in mind - you'll see why in the next step.
1 - A small drill bit that could be attached to a Trashbot arm. Not too challenging. [2]
2 - A metal spiked bumper. Very metal. It doesn't look all that difficult to get on there. [4]
3 - A bit of metal plating, suitable for protection. Drilling into the Trashbot will be required for installation.[6]
4 - A scoop that could go on the front or back of your Trashbot! It has nice lifting power, but you'll need to install gearworks inside the Trashbot to get it on there... [8]
5 - A blunted blade for slicing light objects. It should fit onto the Trashbot's existing hardware without too much trouble. [4]
6 - A really nice articulated claw! Excellent for picking things up dextrously, but it looks like a fiddly thing to install... [8]
7 - A... rearview mirror? Does your Trashbot really need one of these? Well, maybe it does. It doesn't look too hard to install, at least. [2]
8 - A flame decal etching set! Extremely cool, but it does require you to etch metal. [6]
Step Three:
Now for the hard part: actually modifying your Trashbot! You must roll 1d6 four times in four separate posts, one post for each of your four components.
Remember the numbers above? That signifies the amount of base damage you can potentially do to your Trashbot (not to you) as you work to install the new parts. How much damage your Trashbot actually takes depends on both that base damage and the modifier you create in this round.
Again, rolling 1d6 per component...
1 - Something inside the Trashbot goes bzzzzt. Ow! Take the component's full damage.
2 - A scraping, ratcheting sound emerges from the Trashbot's chassis. Hm. Take half damage.
3 - Slow and steady... it takes a while, but it looks like the part is successfully installed with no damage.
4 - Is... is that something burning?! Yikes. Whatever you did, it's not looking good. Take the component's full damage.
5 - Your tools slip and scrape something that looked kind of important. Take half damage.
6 - You're a wizard genius! At least at this moment. The part is successfully installed with no damage.
If, at the end of the installation progress, your Trashbot still has some HP remaining? Congratulations! You have successfully upgraded your Trashbot and can claim the learned ability Intermediate Trashbot Summon. The components you put on your Trashbot can also be mentioned in RP for flavor.
If your Trashbot loses all of its HP, it flees in self-defense and you must wait 24 OOC hours before trying again - it takes a while for them to reboot, okay?
Happy upgrading!
