Burn wrote:Whichever stats you go with, leave them on odd numbers.
I've always had an inkling that bots with odd number stats perform worse. But I've never been arsed to test it.

Burn: Never heard of that superstition theory Definitely could!

Turbo: I ran numbers into the calculator. One stat can be 9 and the other 7, tops, if going with odd numbers.

Sumo: Personally, I like just having the speed and rank, possibly an overflow point in FP due to the name, but that's me. What other suggestions would you have or do you have an idea for balancing these?

If the intend is to give him a mace as a weapon that 1 FP stat ought to be in Skill instead.

Touche!

Edit: Dodge Viper is a medium vehicle.
One possible configuration with the points available, makes it level 3.

"Shiny red super-stock Dodge."

The current name is: "Bots Are Slow" kid's psychic or something.

Very nice stat spread! They go well with the bio and joke XD All odd numbers, too!

I still love the motto, even without the rank Haven't seen that video in ages!

Well...psychic or experienced, he's not wrong

So, time to 'Go, Granny! Go, Granny! Go, Granny, go!' and present Bun-Bun with his newest team member yet??

I still don't get why you're not dumping as much into intelligence as you can. But hey, go soft, give him more than a fighting chance ...

Yeah, speed could go down to 7 and more in int.

...Because little old ladies eventually go senile and demented and lose intelligence...?

My suggestion would be to get rid of a lot of the avoid, if not all, and put that into int then or rnk, if the numbers don't end up odd.

This is why you never win major wars! You're too soft!

You think this is a game? THIS IS HMFW!

This conversation made me remember this.

Hey! I believe I've done quite enough to secure my reputation as a card-carrying softy!

On the one side, you have a point, Burn. It was far too competent. On the other hand, can't give him too many excuses for getting SL'd by me so much

EDIT: lmao, Servant...it's too true...

How about 1 point in ram for the occasional brush with a trash can?

So maybe something like this?

He's going to wipe the **** floor with you lot.

I feel like I need to punish him myself for even losing to you softies.

To be fair, it's likely embarrassing enough that I got so many points off of him to begin with SO many points, Boss, SO many points!

What build did you guys have in mind? I'm really only half here right now so you likely have better ideas than I.

Yep, however could he lose to us losers, huh? What can we say? We're just a bunch of big marshmallows... the size of buildings... wearing sailor suits...

Perhaps this is more to what King Burnidas means:

BEHOLD!
One utterly useless bot, made even more useless by being at level 3.
You're welcome.

But M'Lord, will he even send this character into battle with stats like that?

If he doesn't, he is both a coward and a traitor.

I had the same idea but put all of skill into avoid. However, the softies hated the idea. I was channeling G1 Prowl a little bit. I had 10 avoid, 5 intelligence, and 7 rank. I guess you put one point in skill to keep avoid at 9.
