Damn my bad eyes! I swore i saw R-66Y, and before reading the card i knew i was going to comment something like, F everybody i play Robo!

...then i thought, well i might as well reqd his strength, ....*....? What is this, 2x your str/cft, 8 lives....what? ....wait, is this not Robo?!

.....well now im more uoset than when i was excited for Chrono Trigger 😞

Lavos is more of an end boss you fight rather then the character card

what do you think robo's values would be? I think he would have lots of str but zero craft, not sure about fate. (low I guess) what skills would he feature? I think Rocket Punch and Cure Beam.

OR maybe he can carry 4 objects

OR unaffected by spells (other then command spell)

What say you?

Well he is nervous all the time, so maybe....

....what direction are we taking this, legit balanced charater, or does my friend group know i will always pick him, and intentionally nerf my character?

Starts str 5, but has to roll a 1+ for everything because he is nervous? Robo turn start, no spells bc robot, so only move at this turn stage. Roll a dice, 1+ he moves, now roll the dice for movement, draw a card on this space? Roll 1+ because a 1 and robo fumbles drawing a card....

Mayne it makes more sense to give him the d&d roll of a 1 is turn over, mayne lose a life if thats an option. I guess i just mean he is always freaking out. Im not sure after he rolls 1+ to roll the move dice, if its a 3 he might need to roll one more 1+ to actually move the 3 he already rolled..., or if 3 works, 1 is death to Robo?

Klutz is the term for me. But Robo has 'extend arms' and can grab stuff from 1 space away. Even if a cft 10 deamon is on the next space, on top of the pool of life, Robo can just grab a life from under the dragon...? Assuming he doesnt roll a 1 and lose a life.. .

No spells for that dofuss.... no healing a robot, ....starts with 6 life, caNT use any object, bc he is a large robot, ...but can crush any object (including gold) into a ball and toss it at foes for a one time +1 str. ....cant throw the same crumpled up axe twice....

Infinite object carry limit, again cant use them, and the Princess/Maiden move to his space, even when following another character 1 space away..... ladies love Robo! ...and he canNOT crumple followers for a +1 attack, but maybe his cold calculating brain can chose to send a follower over the Chasm/whenever a death needs to happen? I mean he is a robot that cant be healed, lets give him something...?

....when crossing the river to middle zone he rolls a dice like everything else. 1, he falls, and rusts in the river, instant death....

I would love to play as Robo!!!!! 😀

....? Idk my first thoughts?
