The “Utility” Puppet

by Yoshie Hiraoka

Core used: Small or Medium Combat Puppet
Necessary Components:
• Blades (any kind work) (Weapon points 1-3) (1 Limb slot) (Craft DC 20, Purchase 13)
• Blades Hidden (Weapon 1) (No body slot) (Craft DC 25, Purchase 18)
• Adept Body (Utility 1) (1 Chest Slot) (Craft DC 20, Purchase 13)
• Armor Plating, Light (Utility 1) (1 Chest Slot) (Craft DC 20, Purchase 13)
• Wire (Weapon points 1) (1 Limb slot) (Craft DC 15, Purchas DC 8)
Yoshie’s notes:
This puppet is designed to look like it is a simple mundane utility puppet used to perform tasks without endangering the puppeteer, when in fact it is a combat puppet just waiting to put a knife into a target’s back.
For additional components, the more utility the better the disguise works. More weapon components can be added but one should take care not to ruin the disguise. Personal recommendations would be:
• Detachable limbs (Utility 2) (Craft DC 20, Purchase 13)
• Enhanced Machinery (Weapon 1, Utility 1)
• Extendable Limbs (Utility 3)
• Hollow Body (Utility 2)
• Any weapon components that can be hidden.
One could argue due to the low amount of weapon points being used; this could just use a utility puppet core however utility puppet cores are significantly weaker than combat models which a problem for a puppet based around assassination. But with enough money and tinkering a utility core work, just keep in mind the amount of effort required.
