Triax EIR-15 Manned Gargoyle Robot.

Unread post by say652 »

What TW upgrades could be added to aid in the camouflage of this fake Gargoyle?

The Pilot I'm Building the Armor around is a Super Spy Minor Wizard with minor Psionic Powers.
This gives me ppe, but can it be sensed through the Robot?
A few isp, Mindblock and Total Recall.

Tw Upgrades.
Impervious Fire.
Fly as The Eagle.
And now I'm out of ideas.....

Alter Aura would be a good one... even if it's a duration-based "activate to use" alter aura power, it could really help with the disguise.

TW flight options would help allow the infiltrator bot to blend in better, since it won't have to use the concealed jets to fly.

Since i couldn't use Metamorphosis Superior to make the bot bleed, are their any suggestions to pass this examination?

There is no magic spell to alter one's aura, so there is no TW device which can do so. Alter Aura is a Psionic-Only thing.

Tw upgrades to get the bot similar abilities to the Gargoyles.
Gizmos to shield the presence of the pilot from psionic probes.
Bio Systems to mimic flesh and blood, maybe an irmiss to heal cuts etc.

Not to the full extent, but spells exist that can influence aspects of the aura:
-Aura of Power (Wizard Level 2) given it can alter the apparent level of the character upwards (Alter Aura can do this)
-Aura of Death (Wizard Level 5), TW could limit what it influences (personally I'd require it be part of chain for this)
-Transferral, Talismann, and other PPE storage/transfer options could be used to mask your PPE amount (which Alter Aura does)

Being TW you could in a spell chain use Illusion spells to project over the subject's aura theoretically. In actual practice that would come down to the GM to determine if its possible and what the spell chain(s) might look like.

Actually the presence of the pilot is to show that the "gargoyle" is "alive" and not a robot imposter. The EIR-15 already has some psionic electro-magnetic dampers to help distort their aura which is non-gargoyle (and telepathic contact shows human thoughts). So what you really want isn't something to shield the pilot completely, but something to alter their aura and how they are read telepathically.

The idea is an Imposter that is leading a troop of Gargoyles against the Brodkil.

Gargoyles have pretty decent PPE to begin with so I'm not sure if having high would be that suspicious.

Or if it was magical abilities, they might think you were a Gargoyle mage. If they ask you to perform Earth elemental magic to prove it, could "you're not the boss of me" and be snooty about it. Could also change OCC to Warlock to better complete the illusion.
