Computers AI- Skill Checks and Plain Language


Rules Questions


IF I have multiple computers with AI for instance my tier 1 computer and my tier 2 after reaching level 3.

Can I roll 2 separate skill checks each with their respective bonuses?

Also in the rules is says AI can communicate in plain language. I'm not sure what the limitations are on plain language. Does the AI know all the languages my character knows similar to the mechanics AI, or do I designate a language at creation.

For instance if I want a computer to attempt a skill check with a creature that speaks a language that my character also speaks.


I'd imagine there's a limit on how many people can do a task at once. 15 Ipads talking to you at once hoping one of them gets a nat 20 is going to be more annoying than effective.

I'm not sure what you mean by "AI". There are no rules for artificial intelligence in the core rules (though I did not look elsewhere).

Assuming you mean an artificial personality: As BigNorseWolf said, the action economy is not something that should be bypassed with rules hacks. If time is a factor (i.e. in combat) then you could instruct one computer or the other but you don't get two shots for free.

Languages the computer speaks: That's a good question and not addressed in the rules. One option is to say that the artificial personality upgrade allows it to interact in one language, and if you pay again, you can get more languages. Personally that seems a little steep, and if it were me I'd discount it from the 10% base price. But you're in homebrew/GM call territory.
