Someone IM’d me about this tonight and it got me thinking, probe droid would be a cool new droid type. Here are the basics of what I thought up:
A ‘probedroid’ command to move it around rooms (basic n/w/s/e) and ‘look’ to see whats in the room (similar to cameras).
As it levels up it gains in DEX and movement.
I dont’ know if it is possible but different levels might unlock it abilities like scan.
At level 6 it’d have the ability to self destruct.
Gathorn had the idea of making ‘probedroid’ an espionage feat so espionage folks could use probe droids to prevent the mud from being flooded with ’em.
Ideas/comments/suggestions?

I’d be down with it. More toys for the mechanically-inclined = awesome.

How has this had two replies already and there are no jokes about probes?

No no no no no. Please don’t make it work like that. Make it work like the switch-into-mob command does for imms. You can still hear and see everything on your main character in color but everything in the droid shows up black-and-white and you can hear things etc. and just type the commands. ‘exitdroid’ to leave.
Other commands:
selfdestruct
get
drop
give
all the other droid commands

I know switch is buggy but I’m saying it should work like that so you can get sound, unless you can figure out a way to make sound come through and make it discernable from the probe. Maybe the hologram code?

I really like this idea. I just don’t know how possible it would be. I can see the game being overrun by these droids. I think though, with some control, it would work wonderfully. Like only espi can use it, or they’re easily destroyable.
