The AUs, though, learn from experience and their 'minds' are much like human minds in many ways. They are locked into the goals the Z-mind assigns, but how they go about seeking those goals can vary widely, esp. with the smarter AUs. Look at the example of the Tarantula in the canon RoS that becomes fascinated by human hunters. I doubt seriously the Z-mind would have incorporated such an instruction, it's a 'learned behavior'. That's what makes AUs so useful, but it also makes them potentially troublesome. I suspect that they get a partial memory wipe or the equivalent on a regular basis.

So instead of trying to figure out what an NU would do based on procedures, just treat them like smart animals and if there is any doubt if their program covers something just roll versus IQ or an appropriate skill or default. Last edited by sir_pudding; 03-23-2017 at 10:27 PM. |

Probably what I will do in game terms is make IQ based rolls as you suggest and grant an advantage to the PCs in opposed IQ based rolls if they somehow get access to the robot's instruction set and have time to study it thoroughly. |

Most of the zoneminds (with the obvious exceptions) probably don't count which meatbag to kill first as an important decision.
