Nearly everyone would love a pupper as a present, including cybernetically enhanced superspies. Some years ago, I created Mutants & Masterminds 3e stats for super-dogs<\/a>. So this holiday season, I’m giving you Bear the Bionic Dog. Rather than a lab animal, Bear was an injured animal helped by researchers trying to improve bionic replacements with cutting-edge technology and materials and the most delicate of 3D printing. Win\/Win! So make a New Year’s resolution to serve your country and make the world a better place, with Bear’s help.<\/p>\n

BEAR the BIONIC DOG [Rival]
\nModern Era Agent’s Loyal Companion<\/h3>\n

Characteristics<\/span>
\nBrawn 3
\nAgility 4
\nIntellect 1
\nCunning 3
\nWillpower 1
\nPresence 1<\/h4>\n

Skills:<\/strong> Athletics 2, Brawl 3, Perception 3, Stealth 2<\/p>\n

Soak:<\/strong> 4 Defense (m\/r): 0\/0 Wound Threshold: 12<\/p>\n

Equipment:<\/strong> 4 Bionic Legs (Cybernetic Legs, +1 Agility); Bionic Jaws (Cyberorgan , +1 Brawl); Canine Utility Vest (+1 Encumbrance, +1 Soak)<\/p>\n

Design & Play Notes:<\/strong> I enjoyed watching The Six Million Dollar Man<\/a> and The Bionic Woman<\/a> as a young teen. Being a life-long dog lover, I was especially fond of Max, the bionic dog<\/a>.\u00a0 Characteristics and Skills are based on my Fenwolf (Age of Rebellion) stats.<\/a>\u00a0 Most of the changes are due to the bionic dog being a smaller canine that cannot be ridden and has different training.
\nThis Genesys version of a bionic dog uses the cybernetics gear from the Example Setting: Android in the Genesys Core Rule Book<\/em> (p. 177). The bionic jaws are a variant of the Cyberorgan gear that grants +1 Brawl skill, instead of one of the RAW options. Feel free to add bionic senses using the Cybereyes stats, which can also represent other bionic sense organs.<\/p>\n

Like most movie and TV canine heroes (Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, even Benji), Max is depicted as being particularly clever and intelligent for a dog. This can be represented by spending a Story Point, or in narrating Advantage and Triumph on Bear’s checks.<\/p>\n

Yes, I named this bionic dog for my own beloved Lab mix, who is, as I write this, sprawled on the couch getting petted by me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
