Races today! I tried to stay true to their original specializations and prioritized lore. So the balance will probably be off until i can get time to do a few playthroughs or get a some feedback. Though the only one im really worried about is the soldierbot, but as there fairly rare in game, it’s up to you the player, whether you want an OP death squad on game start or not.

• high bleed rate, their larger frame and superior servos eat through oil much faster than other models. 110%

• Excel at menial labor, athletics, using machinery and not shooting their buddies in the back.

Scorchlander

• 200 Max blood

• They suck at anything resembling honest work, or anything that requires concentration.
• They excel at anything that involves violently hitting or being hit with big sticks and most Sheck learn hand to hand combat and wrestling while young.
• They are not very observant and enemies can get closer before they notice, they make excellent marks for thieves.
• They will naturally block blows to the head and right arm with less essential limbs, meaning the head and right arm get hit less often compared to other limbs.
• They are a hardy race and can both eat and enjoy a range of things such as:
• Animal skin, foul raw meat, raw vegetables and grains, grog, raw meat, rotten food, sake and severed limbs. Yum yum! – WIP
