Mister Gutsy (Fallout: The Roleplaying Game)

	For an overview of Mister Gutsys, see Mister Gutsy.

Mister Gutsy is a generic notable character robot in Fallout: The Roleplaying Game.

Background[]

The potential of the Mister Handy robots was not missed by the U.S. Military, who commissioned General Atomics International to create combat variants of the Mister Handy line. That commission would eventually lead to the creation of the Mister Gutsy robot. Featuring armor plating built into its body, a plethora of deadly weapon attachments, updates to its sensory analysis, and improvements to speed lead it to become a capable personal protection robot. Their specialist military programming allows them to receive and understand orders in real time, increased aggression in combat and even the ability to give them ranks alongside human soldiers. It is this programming which also gives them their unique Marine drill sergeant personality. With many Mister Gutsys now lacking orders, incapable of understanding the war is over, with their commanders long dead, they can often be found still protecting the military bases on which they serve or wandering nearby. They are often hostile to any they come across, though a rare few have managed to trick a Mister Gutsy into believing the individual is a member of the U.S. army in order to avoid conflict with one of these dangerous machines.^[1]

It moves through jet propulsion, hovering above the ground, unaffected by difficult terrain or obstacles.
• Mister Gutsy: These robots are built for warfare. Attacks from a Mister Gutsy gain 1 damage and have Mister Gutsy Plating as standard armor. Additionally, if a character attempts a speech test to question, reason with or give the Mister Gutsy orders the difficulty of the test increases by 2 if the character is not in military uniform.
