new species trait for androids
new species trait for androids posted in Gamma World forum comment posted by derek_holland Androids that look human and hide among humanity could have some benign possibilities (i.e. this does not tie into the Invaders concept). They exist to assist and protect people, usually while doing so from a distance so they will not be revealed. Unlike hero androids, this kind has two or more sets of skills. They can be switched within a phase as they are the result of programming. Usually the skill sets are protection (EMT/police/firefighter), skill assistance (several options here, though each is its own set), and sensory (many ranks of perception, intuition and deduce) to detect the problems in the first place. Keep in mind they will likely have fewer ranks of perception and deduce with the other skill sets as those skills are important to their usages.
In the Gamma Age, the sane androids of this type still works to help people but are much more likely to do so openly. They discovered hiding doesn't matter in the wastes.
I am not a fan of options for SCMs that are not available for heroes, but in this case it is warranted.
