{{Meta-Trait}}{{Physical}}{{Exotic}}
{{25 points}}

Your body is mostly or completely mechanical, composed of non-living materials such as metal, plastic, and composites – although you might have a few organic parts, such as an outer layer of skin or a brain. Examples include robots, vehicles, and full cyborgs.

This meta-trait includes [[Immunity to Metabolic Hazards]] [30], [[Injury Tolerance]] (No Blood, Unliving) [25], [[Unhealing]] (Total) [-30], and several 0- point features:

* You have an eight-hour energy reserve and need refueling three times a day. You can modify this with appropriate advantages (e.g., [[Doesn't Eat or Drink]], for a reactor that can run for years) or disadvantages (e.g., [[Increased Consumption]], for a "gas-guzzler" engine).
* You neither have nor can spend [[Fatigue Points]]; see [[Machines and Fatigue]].
* Your body does not age. Instead, it wears out, with effects similar to aging.

Note that your [[Unhealing]] disadvantage means that the only way for you to regain lost [[HP]] is through repairs with [[Mechanic]] or [[Electronics Repair]] skill (as appropriate).

Several traits not included above are common among machines, notably the advantages [[Digital Mind]], [[Doesn't Breathe]], [[Pressure Support]], [[Sealed]], and [[Vacuum Support]], and the disadvantages [[Electrical]], [[Fragile]], [[Maintenance]], [[Numb]], [[Restricted Diet]], and [[Social Stigma]] (Valuable Property).
