Balticon Convention Battle Report (part 2)


One of the missions that was played this weekend involved approaching a warehouse to apprehend a particular arms dealer. When the players' team approached the building, they noticed some security robots patrolling the area. One of the players had selected the “Robot ID” talent when building his character, and he succeeded on his check: he was able to determine the robot type, and in addition to knowing its weaponry and capabilities, he was also aware of its weakness—sensors that were over-sensitive to bright light. However, nobody had thought to buy a flashlight when outfitting their characters, so the team seemed as though they would be unable to exploit this small advantage. Somebody suddenly came up with the great idea to park their squad car facing the robots, and when the team was ready to attack, they powered up the car's bright headlights. It worked, and might have even saved a few lives because the robots rarely hit any of their targets with their guns.
