Character notes

While most Robo-Men are little more than mindless drones, one in every fifty undergoes a far more advanced and invasive form of robotisation. These elite units—known as Robo-Warriors—possess heightened intelligence, a chilling awareness of their surroundings, and physical enhancements that grant them superior strength, agility, and precision.

Trained in the deadly art of dual-wielding laser pistols, the Daleks reserve them for the most perilous assignments—missions where failure is not an option and where standard Robo-Men would be easily outmatched

Each Robo-Warrior is equipped with a short-range communicator for coordinating with other Dalek operatives beyond shouting range, and a pair of reinforced handcuffs used to capture and detain prisoners of special interest — usually those the Daleks intend to interrogate.

Like all Robo-Men, the transformation strips away nearly all memories of their former lives. Family, friends, names—they’re erased. But sometimes, just sometimes, a flicker remains. On rare occasions, a Robo-Man may be sent to hunt down someone they once loved.

(Gamemaster’s Note: You may declare that one of the player characters recognises a Robo-Man from their past. Alternatively, rolling double 1s on 2D6 can trigger this revelation.

Every Robo-Man wears a distinctive helmet, hardwired into their nervous system. It provides minimal head protection—but more importantly, it maintains a constant data-link with Dalek Command. It’s more than just gear; it’s life support. Should the helmet be removed, the Robo-Man will collapse and die within thirty seconds, cut off from the control signals that keep their heart and brain functioning.
