Palm Disk housed Digital Being Cowpoke

 

Ink Art from page 72 of  The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

These were the most common housings for digital beings and often serve as the core CPU container within larger vessels. Palm disks come in many shapes and sizes but generally perch in an open hand, on a shelf, in a vehicles cup holder or back pocket. 

These disks sometimes feature a bonus add-on. Roll 1d10.

1-3. No add-on.

4. Waterproof and will float if dropped in liquid.

5. Pop out spider legs: climbing 3 skill points, movement rate 4m, scratch opponents SV +0, DMG 1pt

6. Extra encryption: Improved firewall bonus of -20 FW.

7. Ultra memory: Can contain 150TB of data

8. Military Grade Toughness: Add +2d6 Endurance and increase DV by -13.

9. Pop out rotors: This unit can fly like a small drone, although makes the same amount of noise as a bumblebee when active. Movement rate 12m, with flight duration 1 hour before a 12 hour recharge period must take place. While flying, increase defense value -20 DV.

10. Two add-ons (roll 1d6+3, twice on this table but down-pick or re-roll duplicated results).

Wristwatch Projector Digital Being

 



Ink Art from page 72 of  The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

Besides being an excellent projector that allows hands free use, this watch can also be worn under the wearer’s armor to better protect it — although anything blocking the topside projection emitter will stop the holographic image from appearing, seeing its surroundings or launching its shock generator or most other apps — yet the digital being can still verbally interact with the wearer. This model will normally be a clunky, sports style watch with a digital readout of the current time (once set) plus offer a stopwatch feature, night light mode (which can emit a soft illumination in a meter around the wearer),

Pulviss Monday Mutant 31


Don’t become the unwilling subscriber and rope-bound follower of this hulking mutie!

The Pulviss gets its name from the word ‘pulverize’. This apt name serves it well for both its brutal, multiple close-in attacks, as well as its bizarre need to dominate, demoralize and crush the willpower and self respect of those that it collects.

We return to the Monday Mutants series with a bang. The pulviss is an epic 8 page creature listing for an unpredictable and grotesque collector of companions — just hope your post-apocalyptic heroes don’t end up roped to the gang of ‘subscribers’ and ‘fans’ for the colossal brute’s sport, or left tied to a post as a decoy when something worse comes along.

This is our 31st Monday Mutant for The Mutant Epoch role-playing game using the Outland System. Our previous 24 Pay What You Want offerings were added into a book along with 6 never before seen, remarkable muties and available in the Monday Mutants Bestiary.

This collector of unwilling playthings, pets, and bait humans includes a 1d8 random mutation table, 2d12 table of possible humanoid thrall captives to rescue, along with a 3d6 table of collectibles that the beast carries as loot, or barter items when in the mood to trade for luxuries.

While we can’t publish a Monday Mutant every week, we are aiming to release one of these freaks every 2nd Monday for this ongoing next dozen. Join us on your favorite social media venue and follow along, links at our website.

Montage of Assorted Digital Being Personas

 

Scene from the page presenting Digital Being Rank Gain

Ink Art from page 70  of  The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

Digital Beings go up in rank like any other character, however because they have a few features that physical characters do not, they use their own Rank Gain matrix shown below. If this character inhabits a cyborg, android or robotic body, then these bodies also grow stronger, adapts, and improves through adventuresome exploits, and therefore also go up in rank according to their type. See the section on Digital Being Starting Container or Body on the next page for which containers and body types are eligible to go up in rank.


You can play these freaks using the new rule book:

Critical Hits for Hacking Attacks

 


Critical Hits for Hacking Attacks

Ink Art from page 68  of  The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

[Dice rolls of 01]  Roll 1d10    Outcome of a Critical Hacking Attack 

Roll result 10. System Overload! The target CPU suffers a cataclysmic override and bursts into flame amid a shower of sparks. The CPU takes 1d100 data damage and whatever installation, vehicle, body or container it occupies loses the next 1d6 turns and takes 2d20 endurance damage. If the harm from either of these two damage rolls is enough to finish off either the CPU or the body, then the target is fried and ‘dead’ and cannot be occupied by another digital being.
