{{Name}} is an ability possessed by all [[True Kin]] player characters that | {{Name}} is an ability possessed by all [[True Kin]] player characters, as well as humanoids such as Putus Templar, that allow them to either turn robots non-hostile or recruit them as companions. Like other recruitment skills, Rebuke Robot can only have one companion recruited with it at a time. If a new robot is rebuked, the leader must let go of the previous companion. | ||
To rebuke, the creature must not be [[frozen]] or have a missing tongue from [[glotrot]]. If they do not, they can pick an adjacent cell to select a target to rebuke. The target must also have a <code>Brain</code> part, which is different than having a mind for sundering/domination purposes. | |||
== Formula == | |||
The success calculation is done the same way damage [[penetration]] is calculated in [[melee combat]] (''for full calculation method, see [[Penetration (PV)#Melee Penetration]]''). However, PV is replaced with Rebuke Strength and the AV is replaced with the target's Rebuke Defense. Rebuke Defense and Rebuke Strength are calculated as follows: | |||
<math alt="">\text{Rebuke Defense} = \text{Target's Level} \times \frac{4}{5} + \text{Target's MA} + \text{Status Bonus}</math> | |||
The rebuke defense's bonus is based on the | |||
The status based bonus depends on two things: | |||
* if the target is already [[Proselytized]] (+1) | |||
* If the target is already [[rebuked]] (+1) | |||
<math alt="">\text{Rebuke Strength} = \text{Rebuker's Level} \times \frac{4}{5} + \text{Rebuker's Ego Mod}</math> | |||
== Results == | |||
Unlike [[Proselytize]] and [[Beguiling]], there are intermediate results in between recruiting or failing to recruit. Like Proselytize, failing does not provoke hostility. | |||
