Unlike a technician android, these models were programmed and physically customized to work in a laboratory or fulfill some other dedicated scientific role and exhibit a wider, more general inventory of skills. They mainly served next to human and Ai researchers but also worked alone, especially when studying or creating viruses, bio-weapons, or other substances that were too dangerous for human scientists to contend with. They are built with lean, agile bodies patterned after mature men and women, and feature mannerisms, interests and vocabulary similar to that of a well educated, subject obsessed scientist. Many of these units were made by human exterminating Mecha artificial intelligences to perform experimentation on human captives, cross breeding programs and the creation of cyborg slave-soldiers. For this reason, scientific androids are usually loathed by humans, and watched with extra care.

Just because your game master tells you that your players see some immense mutant creature in the wasteland, it doesn’t mean you’re expected to fight it. Fleeing is a perfectly acceptable option, especially if you are faster than your comrades. Art from page 99 of Excavator Monthly Compendium.

Bestial human geckos are active predators, and despite their relatively small size, instinctively frighten bug-men, especially humanoid spiders and scorpions. They have effective bites (SV +7/ DMG 1d10), but most impressively can cling to any surface. They can climb up, or down, or along, anything, even glass, at their normal movement rate. Additionally, they can hang on a ceiling of rough material for one round per current point of strength. The gecko-man can also make a type A, agility based hazard check once for every 5 meters dropped to catch the side of a building or pit or other wall after falling into a pit or jumping off a structure. A GM may allow the use of this ability when a geckoid leaps onto the back of a huge beast or passing vehicle, making an agility based hazard check in accordance with the difficulty of the task. Humanoid geckos may only use this ability if they keep their hands and feet bare. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0994923791 or https://www.outlandarts.com/expansionrules.htm gecko, beast, bestial, manimal, lizardman, color change, RPG, ttrpg, bestial human, characters, noaiart, william mcausland, wasteland, mutant epoch, apocalyptic, expansion rules, post-apocalyptic, the mutant epoch, outland system, outland arts, mutants, mutant, epoch, ink artist, Kamloops artist, apocalyptic, fallout, like, gamma world, humanoid animal, roleplaying game,

[40% Chance actually a bestial human sheep.]
 Despite being herbivorous, bestial human goats and sheep will attempt to eat nearly anything once, and can derive sustenance from nearly any non-toxic plant-derived substance including cardboard. Humanoid sheep have returned to their wild roots physically, and both sheep-men and goat-men are surprisingly agile and sure-footed.
 Thanks to their thick hair or fleece, they can withstand cold conditions twice as well as a human, even without winter clothing. The males of both species of humanoids also sport horns capable of delivering a bone-crunching head butt (SV +10/ DMG 1d12, double damage if allowed to charge from 6m or more). Nannies and ewes only possess horns 50% of the time, unless the GM specifies that both genders exhibit horns equally. Their wariness and keen senses provide them with a +1 initiative bonus.

If you’re character is unlucky enough to fall upon, step on or accidentally grab one of these docile gastropods, and get punctured, and fail a type G hazard check, then you’re in trouble. While the neurotoxin doesn’t kill the victim, it does slow them to half speed and only allows them to act every second turn. In the ruins, that usually means death.

Android Original Purpose Descriptions and Details Art from page 31 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules book Civilian androids were mass produced and easily the most commonly found models that dig teams unearth. These humanoid robots usually had plastic bones — although many featured fully biodegradable sheathing, bones and parts which have long since decayed into dust. This unique android, however, is built different from other models. It is either a customized variant, from a limited edition, or a prototype of some rare, purpose-built and perhaps one of a kind design. Roll on the following table to determine what its original intended job was, with each model gaining trait bonuses or penalties. See the description text to follow for each unit’s intended, pre-play ‘job’ for potential starting skills and other features.

This character served aboard an airship and took on the caste title of aeronaut. So too, he or she gained considerable knowledge of their own region, having visited most barter towns, digger forts, trade outposts, farming villages and any sprawling slum cities which might exist in the area. Likewise, this balloonist has memorized the details of the terrain below their vessel, including the rivers, old war zones, ruin sites, swamps, impassable mutant forests, and treacherous mountains and badlands. https://www.outlandarts.com/expansionrules.htm
