[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6088662, member: 57383"] [I]This entity is obviously not a living creature, but a metallic construct of some sort. Its body is a thick cylinder topped by a dome-shaped head and a two arm-like limbs with hinged joints. Instead of legs, it stands upon a pair of corrugated metal strips that wrap around a row of wheels on either side of a flat rectangular base. [/I][I]A[/I][I] cluster of glassy lenses or eyes is [/I][I] s[/I][I]et into its hemispherical head [/I][I]– [/I][I] one is ruby red, the rest are crystal clear[/I][I].[/I] A droid is an artificial creature manufactured by nonmagical technologies far more sophisticated than exist in most known worlds. The guardian droid is a common design built for security duties. It is normally found patrolling high technology installations, such as outposts built by an extraterrestrial centauroid species who call themselves the masters. 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 droids are capable of normal humanoid speech. A standard guardian droid speaks Common. A guardian droid's squat body stands 2 feet tall and it weighs 400 pounds. It can elevate its head and arms to reach as high as a normal Medium sized creature. [SIZE=3][B] Combat[/B][/SIZE] If a guardian droid encounters intruders, it follows whatever "engagement protocols" it has been programmed with. A guardian droid could be instructed to kill intruders, capture them, or issue a warning (e.g "[I]Leave immediately, or I will attack[/I]") and attack if the intruders fail to comply. A group of guardian droids constantly uses their radiospeech ability to coordinate their actions against intruders. Guardian droids will act to preserve themselves if it would not contradict their orders, but will emotionless 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]
