Robot body built as an ally to a brain in a jar questions.

I am running an Ultra tech game. Once again.

I have a pc that wants to be a cyborg robot. But, as ultratech robot bodies are ridiculously expensive point wise, his character wound up being next to useless when stated out thanks to the massive point sink that was the robot body, (some 150 almost) out of the 200/-75 allowed.

None of that is really the problem though.

But we had an idea.

Build the body as an ally. And the character as a brain in a jar.

The body want that bad to make. 14s in all basic attributes, 0 for iq. The standard robot advantages etc.

Came out to an even 100 points. Which is only an ally built on 50%. X4 for constantly there, and of course special abilities would apply since it gices said brain in a jar abilities he wouldnt normally have eg. Walking and talking etc.

Now. My question. Is with the character, being a St 0, Dx 0 thats -300cp.

Now how does one stat the unusual background. As was stated. -300cp is a metric crapload of points.

How should one price it?

I was thinkin of pricing it at the 300 at least. But i dont know.

I seek advice from the collective, whose experience is greater than mine.
