Android Active Abilities
One of the most important aspects of the Android is the #monster extended command.
- Sleep and regenerate: This is on a random timeout of around 1,000 turns and regains HP and energy.
- Be careful using it as you will be immobilized, as is normal with sleep effects.
- If you are interrupted it still counts as using the ability so you will need to wait for the next reset of the timeout.
- If you don't sleep you will eventually become fatigued. After 3000 turns, you will get the message "You feel fatigued" (if you are above 10 pw). This will begin to drain power slowly. If you go below 10 pw while fatigued, you get the message "You feel extremely fatigued".
- Once you hit no power, you get the message "You feel like you are about to pass out." At the start of any turn where you have 0 energy, your system may force a "sleep mode" to recover, so be careful of that. The per-turn odds of this occurring are 1/your level.
- Emergency speed: This increases movement speed greatly. It costs 1 energy per turn of movement, which is several moves. Any non-move action turns it off.
- Recharger: This costs 10 energy and acts as an uncursed scroll of charging.
- Combo: This is used to deliver an attack and its effects vary depending on the wielded weapons. It is not usable if you are wielding 2 weapons at once, but a shield is allowed with a one-handed weapon. Each level of skill in your wielded weapon unlocks one step in the combo, and the ability costs 1 energy per step used (therefore, it's good to cancel out of the combo if the target dies).
- Unarmed combo: 1) attack twice, 2) kick once, 3) jump, then kick once, 4) jump, then attack twice and kick twice.
- Spear/Lance combo: 1) attack twice, 2) attack twice, 3) attack twice.
- Whip combo: 1) attack twice, 2) apply whip, then attack once 3) If using a force whip: lock the whip, then attack twice. If using another whip: apply whip, then attack once.
- Any other one-handed weapon: 1) Attack twice 2) Throw a weapon 3) Throw a weapon then attack once.
- Any other two-handed weapon: 1) Attack the primary target twice and all neighboring squares once. 2) Kick the primary target, then attack the primary target twice and all neighboring squares once. 3) Throw a weapon then attack the primary target.
