Synth (Fallout: The Roleplaying Game)

Synths are robots in Fallout: The Roleplaying Game.
==Background==
These first-generation synths are usually encountered in packs of four or more in Institute-controlled or-protected areas areas. They resemble humans in form and shape only, with most not even possessing synthetic skin, instead they appear like terrifying robotic caricatures, with mechanical parts where organs would be, and metal frames for bones. While intelligent and combat capable, they do not possess the higher sentience of third-generation synths.Fallout: The Roleplaying Game core rulebook, pg. 373

* Immune to Poison: The Synth reduces all Poison damage suffered to 0 and cannot suffer any damage or effects from poison.
