Why have a humanoid bot when a tank or jet works that much better? The spilt xp might be an issue??Here are the stats and weapons (note I cut and pasted from the pdf, some of the text might be strange):Master ProgrammerAC: 8 Hit Dice: 4Intelligence: 25 Hit Points: 15XP Value: 2,000/1,000 + specialMaster ProgrammerAC: 8 Hit Dice: 4Intelligence: 25 Hit Points: 15XP Value: 2,000/1,000 + specialMaster Programmers are the equivalent of generalsin the Overseer’s war machine. They receive directprogramming orders from the Overseer itself andimplement them through subordinate units. Thereare only a dozen or so Master Programmers inexistence, all true AIS almost on a level with theOverseer but still controlled by it. Each MasterProgrammer resides on a space station.Master Programmers direct the actions of fiveor six major battle fleets, each based out of theMaster Programmer’s space station. As a last lineof defense, a Master Programmer is armed withone poisonous gas canister, one infectious gascanister, and one stun field generator. (these weapons applies to all programmers)Primary DirectorAC: 8 Hit Dice: 3Intelligence: 22 Hit Points: 12XP Value: 2,000/1,000 + specialSecondary DirectorAC: 8 Hit Dice: 3Intelligence: 19 Hit Points: 10XP Value: 2,000/1,000 + specialDrone FighterAC: 3 Hit Dice: 7Intelligence: 6 Hit Points: 35XP Value: 8,000/4,000Drone fighters are highly maneuverable flyingattack vehicles that function both in planetaryatmospheres and in space. They generally patrol insquadrons of five. Each drone fighter is armed withtwo light blaster cannons, a pair of two-bay missilearrays, and one canister each of poisonous gas andinfectious gas.Prowler (scout)AC: 5 Hit Dice: 4Intelligence: 10 Hit Points: 20XP Value: 2,000/1,000 Movement: 36 (B)This scouting unit functions as a patrol andreconnaissance vehicle, hovering swiftly andsilently on a cushion of air. It is equipped with avariety of instruments for gathering data, includingseveral magnified optical scanners focusing in alldirections, sensitive sound equipment, and evensome seismographic sensors for detectingmovement of the enemy through the ground. Aprowler's armaments include one light blastercannon, a grenade launcher with one of each typeof grenade, and a stun field generator. Prowlers areusually encountered singly.Destroyer (light attack hovercraft)AC: 3 Hit Dice: 5Intelligence: 8 Hit Points: 25XP Value: 7,000/3,500 Movement: 30 (C)Destroyers usually operate in platoons of six,moving across both land and water in search oftheir enemy Hovercraft are able to negotiate roughterrain much more easily than ground-based units.Each destroyer is armed with two light blastercannons, a flame thrower, one two-bay missilearray, and two canisters each of poisonous andinfectious gases.Annihilator (heavy attack hovercraft)AC: 0 Hit Dice: 7Intelligence: 6 Hit Points: 35XP Value: 11,000/5,500 Movement: 24 (D)A heavier and more powerful version of thedestroyer hovercraft, the annihilator lacks someof its counterpart’s maneuverability. Nonetheless,it’s a formidable killing machine. It possessesone heavy blaster cannon, two magnum cannons,two two-bay missile arrays, a grenade launcherwith three of each grenade type, a stun fieldgenerator, and one canister each of poisonous andinfectious gas.Firestorm (ultra-light tank)AC: 2 Hit Dice: 6Intelligence: 6 Hit Points: 30XP Value: 2,000/1,000 Movement 24The firestorm ultra-light tank is a quick andspeedy ground-based fighting machine withdecent armor and effective weaponry. Firestormstravel in full complements of five. Each tank isarmed with one light blaster cannon, onemagnum cannon, and a flame thrower.Deathstrike (heavy tank)AC: -2 Hit Dice: 9Intelligence: 6 Hit Points: 45XPValue: 13,000/6,500 Movement: 18Deathstrikes are true terrors of the Overseer.Heavily armored, they are difficult to destroy andpose a threat to any fortified position. They roamin platoons of four tanks, and each is armed withtwo heavy blaster cannons, one magnum cannon,two three-bay missile arrays, a pair of grenadelaunchers, four of each grenade type, twocanisters each of poisonous and infectious gas,and a stun field generator.Spider Drone (infantry unit)AC: 4 Hit Dice: 3Intelligence: 9 Hit Points: 15XP Value: 650/325 Movement: 9Spider drones are the fighting infantry of theOverseer’s forces. These horrific constructs movein swarms of 15 to 20 units, each carrying a blast&+rifle and a grenade launcher with one of eachgrenade type. Fortunately, they are not very fleet;&foot and can be outmaneuvered by the Rael.Unfortunately, the Overseer cranks these units outby the ton, as they are relatively cheap and easy tomanufacture.Assimilator (Doomed constructor)AC: 1 Hit Dice: 5Intelligence: 14 Hit Points: 20XP Value: 1,400/700 Movement: 6Assimilators operate in the reserves of battlefielforces, moving in after the Overseer’s army hassecured an area. The assimilator gathers stunned?wounded, and captured Rae1 and transforms theminto the Doomed, programming them to obey theorders of directors and master programers. ThRae1 hate assimilators more than any otherconstruct and always focus air attacks against thewhenever they are sighted. As a consequence, theOverseer has provided the assimilator with heavyarmor for extra protection. Assimilators only havea stun field generator for a weapon.Collector (minerlgatherer)AC: 6 Hit Dice: 10Intelligence: 4 Hit Points: 60XP Value: 2,000/1,000 Movement 3Collectors are immense constructs whose solepurpose is to gather raw materials for processing.They collect everytlung from ores for metal rehing;gold, silver, and copper for wiring; sand for silicon(microchips); and various gases and liquids for avariety of tasks. These huge slow constructs areequipped with both treads for ground movementand rockets for long-range travel. Collectors have,’no weapons. Each 24-hour period, a single collectmcan gather and process enough raw materials tomanufacture 2 Hit Dice worth of units.Replicator (modular construction unit)AC: 7 Hit Dice: 1Intelligence: 8 Hit Points: 5XP Value: 65/33 Movement: 3Replicators are the building blocks of the Overseerinfrastructure. Every type of construct is built by acomplex assembly-line process made up of replicators.Each individual unit cannot perform morethan one simple task at a time (tighten this screw;weld this seam), but with enough coordinated unitsand the proper programming from further up thehierarchy, the construction possibilities are limitless.Each replicator unit has a series of delicate andagile manipulator arms, conveyor belts, arcwelders, and other tools that perform the varioustasks involved in constructing new devices andother units. Replicators have no armaments.Note that the number of replicators operatingtogether indicate the maximum Hit Dice totals ofunits they can manufacture in a 24-hour period. So25 replicators can manufacture 25 Hit Dice worthof new units, or repair damage to 25 Hit Dice ofold equipment. However, the replicators musthave raw materials to work with (gathering thesematerials is the collector’s task).Seeker (sensor drone)AC: 6 Hit Dice: 1Intelligence: 15 Hit Points: 2XP Value: 175/88 Movement: 12 (A)The seeker is nothing more than a complexcollection of various sensory equipment used tothoroughly explore and scan an area. Seekers areused to probe for valuable resources, gatherinformation on enemy troops and theirmovements, and to interface with captured enemycomputer systems so that the Overseer canreprogram these units and use them against theirformer owners. Each sensor drone has a completeset of audio and visual (complete spectrum)equipment, plus devices to study the atmosphere,water, soil, and energy levels of the surroundings,along with radar and sonar devices for detectingmovement both on land and under water. Seekershave no armor or weapons, but their small size andnimble movement capabilities give them someprotection from attacks.DoomedWhen a creature is transformed into one of theDoomed the results are greatly enhanced Strength,Dexterity, and Constitution (+2d4 points for each;results can exceed racial limits by up to 5 points), anda componding reduction of Intelligence, Wisdom,and Charisma (all of which drop to a score of 1). Inaddition, subcutaneous body plating creates a baseAC improvement of 4 poink; combined with theenhanced Dexterity, this makes the Doomed difficultto strike.All of the cybernetic enhancements alsoserve to double the effective Hit Dice of the mature(unless the Doomed was originally a character class,in which case it remains at that level but uses thewarrior's THACO and saving throws for that level).Each of the Doomed is generally armed with ablaster rifle or a magnum cannon, but they are quitecapable if weaponless of striking blows with th&b m fists or claws, inflicting considerable damage(factoring in the enhanced Strength damage bonus).</blockquote>
