Legends and Lore
With a History or Science check, characters can learn the following:
DC 10 Drones are simple robots which follow their orders to the letter. They come in many varieties.
DC 15 While most drones are pure automatons, some rare drones are fully intelligent.
DC 20 Rumors exist of deadly, intelligent exterminator drones whose sole goal is to extinguish all life in the universe.
Small, robotic, flying automatons, drones perform a wide variety of tasks. While some are built for combat or security purposes, others can perform reconnaissance, hack computer systems, or even administer medical aid. Drones are cheap to make, built en masse, and are generally considered disposable–most are able to follow verbal commands and communicate in a basic fashion, but they are not regarded as being sapient.
These deadly drones are intelligent and filled with hate. Larger than most, they are heavily armed and want nothing more than the destruction of all life in the universe.
Exterminator emperors lead entire fleets of exterminator drones, and receive complete loyalty from them. Any exterminator drone would gladly sacrifice itself to protect its emperor in the name of the greater quest. Exterminator emperors are always protected by exterminator drone guards.
