Digital Being PC inhabiting a Medallion Disc

 

Ink Art from page 73 of  The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

This device looks like some sort of art déco style piece of ancient jewelry. 2 in 6 will feature genuine gold and silver decorative elements, and of these, 1 in 6 will also be fitted with gemstones which double the buy or sell price. They are very much like palm disks and feature the same chance of a potential add-on. Because they are worn on a stainless steel or leather necklace, they can often be slipped beneath a wearer’s clothing — although doing so blocks the digital being’s visual receptors unless the fabric is specially punctured or of a mesh material.

You can play these digital beings using the new rule book.

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),

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.

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.

Digital Combat

Ink Art from page 67 of  The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

Hacking and Firewall

Besides traits, other details unique to digital beings are their attack and defense modes, with hacking equivalent to strike value, and firewall equivalent to defense value. These traits are abbreviated as HK and FW.

Hacking, or HK, is used to engage other digital beings and robots, androids, and computer systems on board vessels or within installations. Digital combat occurs within the patch cable and port where the target entity has its physical body restrained or the attacker gets adjacent to the target CPU’s container or body. The defending unit might actually be more powerful than the attacker, and turn the tables and instead hack the aggressor — although even if defeating another digital being, either party need not occupy the CPU of the victim but instead merely fragment it or do other harm. Sometimes, wireless hacking attacks can be made, too, although this is a special app described on page 84. Once a target CPU is drained of data, and fragmented, the conquering digital being can flow into the victim’s CPU via a patch cable and claim its robotic body, or machinery, and assume it as its new body.

Digital Being

Ink Art from page 66 of  The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

A digital being is a single point of consciousness, and derived either from an artificial intelligence or a downloaded human mind from a deceased person — usually an ancient one. On very rare instances, however, a complete human or technology encased vat-brain can also act through a remote controlled digital being, but these variants are normally only NPCs controlled by the GM. See table XR-65 on page 75 to establish the source of a new digital being character, although knowledge of who they once were, and how much they remember from the past, might not help them survive in the post apocalyptic world of The Mutant Epoch.

In most cases, a digital being, or DB for short, can only exist in one place at one time, and either occupies a hard drive within an ancient hologram emitter, or the body of a computer controlled cyborg, an android, a robot, installation, or vehicle.

Android Special Features

From the book: “As a character, a unique android will have random traits, skills, implants and potential features according to the tables that follow. All androids can read, write and do math. At first, androids can appear to be complex, hard to generate characters based on the extensive amount of PC creation material presented on the next 29 pages, however, creating one is really quite simple and involves one or more rolls on each of the tables to follow.”
