Robot Armor
For protection and useful effects, robots such as the Mister Handy line rely on their construction and
materials of their plating. Mister Handy robots have different hit locations to a humanoid character:
Optics, Main Body, Arms (1-3), and Thruster. In addition to providing damage resistances, robot armor
may modify the Carry Weight of the robot they are fitted to. All Robot Armor except Plating is installed
with the Repair skill.

Serrated Plate
Makeshift armor plating with jagged, serrated edges. Like primal plate, but more hazardous to those who
would do the robot ill, as the sharp protrusions can lead to injury.
Special: When a melee attack is made against a location fitted with serrated plate, and the attacker
suffers a complication, then the attacker suffers 2
Persistent (Physical) damage. In addition, melee attacks made using arms fitted with serrated plate gain
the Persistent (Physical) damage effect.
Noxious Plate
Makeshift armor coated in toxic materials which are hazardous to the health of any who seeks to inflict
harm upon the robot or its companions.
Special: When a melee attack is made against a location fitted with noxious plate, and the attacker
suffers a complication, then the attacker suffers 2
Persistent (Poison) damage. In addition, melee attacks made using arms fitted with serrated plate gain
the Persistent (Poison) damage effect.
Toxic Plate
Makeshift armor made with irradiated metal plating, dangerous to living creatures nearby.
Special: When a melee attack is made against a location fitted with toxic plate, and the attacker suffers a
complication, then the attacker suffers 2
Radiation damage. In addition, melee attacks made using arms fitted with serrated plate gain the
Radioactive damage effect.
Actuated Frame
A specially made set of armor plates fitted with actuators and motive systems which aid the robot’s
actions.
Special: Melee attacks made from arms fitted with an actuated frame inflict +1
damage. If the robot’s Thruster is fitted with an actuated frame, it may make both a Move minor action
and a Sprint major action in the same turn.
Voltaic Frame
A specially made set of armor plates fitted with additional conduits and capacitors to bolster the
effectiveness of energy weaponry.
Special: Any of the robot’s attacks which deal energy damage inflict +1
if the robot is fitted with any voltaic frame armor. This bonus increases by +1
for every two additional locations fitted with Voltaic Frame (so +2
for 3 pieces, or +3
for 5 or more pieces)
Hydraulic Frame
A specially made set of armor plates which conceal powerful hydraulics which enhance the robot’s
movements.
Special: Melee attacks made from arms fitted with a hydraulic frame inflict +1
damage and gain the Stun damage effect.
Robot Modules
A Mister Handy robot may install up to three of these mods. Mods may be removed to make room for
different modules. Perks listed are those required to successfully install a module, which also requires an
INT + Science skill test with a difficulty of 2 and an hour’s work.
