Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 6012703" data-attributes="member: 57383">Hmm, let's see...Radiospeech (Ex): A guardian droid has a "Radiovoice", a built-in radio transmitter that can send radio communications to a radius of up to [10 miles?]. It also has "Radiohearing" receptors which allows it to "hear" the Radiospeech of other creatures. The droid can alter the volume of its Radiovoice, its range can be anywhere from a minimum of 1 mile to a maximum of 10 miles.Note that differences in transmission range may mean that the droid can  hear the Radiovoice of a creature that's too far away for it to Radiospeak back to, or vice versa. e.g. a droid with a 1-mile-radiovoice  can hear a droid with 10-mile-radiovoice from up to 10 miles away, but  it can only talk back to the droid if it's within a mile of it.A Radiospeech transmission is indiscriminate. Everything with Radiohearing that is within   range can pick up a Radiovoice signal, although they may   not be able to understand it. Radiospeech can be in any language known  to the speaker. Most droids speak Code when communicating in  Radiospeech.Radiospeech is blocked by barriers. 10 feet of stone or wood, three feet of water, or an inch of metal will block 10 miles of Radiospeech, reducing the effective range by that distance. Thinner or thicker barriers will block the Radiospeech range proportionally, so six feet of water will block 20 miles of Radiospeech, half an inch of metal will block 5 miles, and so on....and we'll add the following languages.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 guardian 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 guardian droids are capable of normal humanoid speech. A typical guardian droid speaks Common.</blockquote>
