Robots

Robots are a faction in Caves of Qud. They are the automated machines left behind by the past civilizations of Qud long after their fall. However, not belonging in this faction does not mean they are not a robot. Some factions have learned to reprogram them and thus the robot follows that particular faction instead, such as or. They appear most commonly in ruins (the terrain and the encounter) as well as the Deathlands.

Robots are universally made out of metal, leaving them vulnerable to rust, and their electronic components are susceptible to both electricity and EMP effects.

Tips

 * Due to the abundance of high tier robots, getting a neutral (> -250) reputation with robots can help with surviving in the Deathlands or deep underground.
 * Getting neutral reputation involves either using to boost reputation with either robots or the Naphtaali tribe, and then water ritualling the legendary  wandering the jungles.
