Robots and Talents - how does this work???

[shiba-tenchi]

So Robots (mostly) don't have a Will score, and automatically pass Will checks. This has some interesting ramifications for the talents:

- Robots - can they be Stealthy? If yes then they always win the opposed check?
- The True Hero line....be nice to be able to get Loyal Follower or Heroic Rush but a robot would need to burn 3 completely useless talents to get there.
- Dirty Fighting/Below the Belt - does the robot automatically win and trigger the effect?
- Hit & Run - Robot can automatically leave melee?

- Immune to many Psi talents, but I figure that was by design.

There are probably a couple others in there I've missed.

(My apologies if this has been sorted somewhere.....I did check...found a couple of spots where this issue has been partially raised, but no answer seems to have come out.)

As an aside, why are grenades dearer than missiles?

Good points.

I assume the rule change in Block War would apply. Although that talks about sensors.

- Dirty Fighting/Below the Belt - does the robot automatically win and trigger the effect?

These aren't opposed rolls, so the robots will doesn't matter.

As an aside, why are grenades dearer than missiles?

Because grenades are an infinite supply, while missiles are one shot?
