First Aid Contact Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Continuing with the Protectobots, today's contact build is for First Aid,  who is a stark contrast from the previous Blades build, in that he fits with the Protectobots theme, rather than railing against it.

This is unofficial, fan-made content using the Transformers Essence20 rpg by Renegade Games Studios.

FIRST AID

"An ounce of maintenance is worth a pound of cure."

First Aid is one of the most empathic and compassionate beings you'll ever meet. He cares deeply about all living things. Heck, he even cares deeply about the "pain" of inanimate objects. A broken or malfunctioning can-opener will earn just as much sympathy and attention as a fellow Autobot. Otherwise, First Aid is a soft-spoken and sometimes overly cautious sort (especially when it comes to the well-being of a fellow Autobot). Still, all the Autobots know he will work long and hard to do his best for them and that their well-being matters to him more than anything, and those are quite comforting thoughts.

Influences

Caretaker, Cybertronian Military (First Responder): First Aid is always at the ready to help others  in need.

Origin

Support:  First Aid assumes the Alt-Mode of a Toyota Town Ace Ambulance.

Role and Focus

Scientist (Medical Officer): Compassionate, cautious – will restrict an Autobot to repair bay for a faulty directional signal.

Essence Scores and Skills

Strength 4: Brawn +d6, Might +d2

Speed 4: Driving +d4, Initiative +d2, Targeting +d2

Smarts 9: Science (Medicine) +d6, Technology (Repair) +d8

Social 6: Animal Handling +d4, Persuasion +d4, Streetwise +d4

Gaining First Aid As A Contact

Fellow Autobot: If this Contact is on scene, the PCs can summon them for 1 round.

Medic!: First Aid bonds  with others who share his profession. If a PC is a Medical Officer Scientist or has the Science (Medicine) and/or Technology (Repair) Specializations, they can gain First Aid as a temporary Contact.

Pacifist: First Aid is a medic, not a warrior. He refuses to fight, despite being deployed alongside the other Protectobots. If a PC spends their turns in a Combat Scene helping their allies or bystanders do anything other than attacking enemies, they gain First Aid as a permanent Contact.

Allegiance Points: 3

Contact Perks

Ambulance (1 Allegiance Point): First Aid evacuates the injured  in his ambulance form. A PC suffering at least 1 Damage moves at double their normal speed, if they take the Sprint Action.

Decrystalizer Cannon (3 Allegiance  Points): First Aid uses his weapon to weaken the armor of his enemies. Select up to 3 Threats in the combat scene. These Threats lose all their Armor Upgrades until the end of the scene.

Triage (2 Allegiance Points): By prioritizing injuries, First Aid knows how to handle multiple patients at the same time. A PC can make a Science (medicine) or Technology (Repair) Skill Test as a Free Action until the end of their turn.

Decepticon HISS Drone (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
Imagine if you will a combined Transformers / GIJoe setting where the Decepticons have infiltrated the ranks of Cobra using their Pretender agents. Eventually, Cobra learns of a powerful device being held in secret by GIJoe forces within a hidden facility under the Hoover Dam. A Cobra Strike Team infiltrates the Hoover Dam, taking down one Greenshirt after another in as they dive deeper into the facility, only to come to the center vault which contains... The AllSpark! Suddenly one of the Cobra agents -- secretly a Decepticon Pretender -- guns down her fellow Cobra Vipers and immediately calls in to Soundwave, seeking an extraction team on her position: "For the glory of Megatron, the AllSpark has been found!" Knowing full well the importance of the mission's success, Soundwave immediately dispatches the elite Seeker trio of Seekers: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker, alongside the Combaticons to serve as Special Forces back-up; all of whom arrive within minutes. Al...

Fastball Special (Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition)

Image
In Marvel Comics, there are few combat maneuvers as noteworthy as The Fastball Special . This is a combo-maneuver that requires the use of two teammates skilled in working alongside each other. One of the teammates (the "pitcher") must have superhuman strength, while the second (the "ball") requires some form of exceptional melee attack and not a small amount of damage resistance.  The Fastball Special was originated by the X-Men Colossus and Wolverine, and featured Colossus using his super-strength to pick up Wolverine and throw him deep into the ranks of the villains or high up towards flying enemies. Once thrown, Wolverine, stretches himself out to be as aerodynamic as possible, and extends his claws so they are what the enemies first encounter as he slams into a foe. Wolverine's claws, combined with the momentum of Colossus' superhuman strength resulted in numerous destroyed Sentinel robots. Thankfully, Wolverine survives being thrown like this, due to h...

Worlds Collide After Action Report (MiracleCon 2024)

Image
Recently, I was asked by a former co-worker -- also a popular gamer and GM in the local area -- if I would be interested in being a GM for the World's Collide mega adventure produced by Renegade Games Studios for the Essence20 rpg. This adventure crosses over the GIJoe, Power Rangers, and Transformers sessions, all of which use the same game system, so they work relatively seamless with each other. This article WILL contain SPOILERS for the Worlds Collide Adventure, so if you want to play and be surprised by this game, do not read any further. You can purchase the adventure from the Renegade Games Studios store here . For background set up... Lord Zedd, Doctor Mindbender, and Shockwave were all working on teleportation technology at the same time, creating an interdimensional incident that merge them into one being: Lord MindwaveZ . This also started drawing all of the multiverses together into one amalgamated chaos region. While this happens, Joe, Rangers, and Autobots are drawn i...
