Re: [HOE] A question about Servitors (possible light spoilers)

1) This has been a bone of contention in my other group, that servitors don't know thier weakness. I've ALWAYS run them as if they knew the one thing that would kill them and avoided it like the plague. That's why the Lone Biker in my game always take a few minutes after the slaughter to burn the bodies and the town and why Modeen has an escape route planned.  Do servitors know their weaknesses?

Depends. Those that know what they've become (see below) could know, and probably do. Modeen knew. he told that templar (name escaping me at the moment) before he killed him. I'll bet Stone knows his. Then take case like the S-Mart over lord. His weakness being beaten ina one-on-one battle to the in his arena. if he knew, would he continue to take challengers? or is he just that confident.

2) Another point that caused much argument was whether or not servitors knew they had gone to the Dark Side(tm) <G> In my game, they know that they are evil, but in my buddy James' game we traveled with a whiny librarian NPC that was a servitor of Death and was unconsciously raising dead people to attack our group. I figure if they know thier weakness and they know they are evil, they will be much smarter when it comes to those pesky heroes (and their damn dog too) figuring out how to kill them. 

I think that depnds... Like Kane, the pestilence whipping boy with the plague zombie/whores and the porn theatre. I doubt he understands what he is, but I'm sure he knows what he's doing is evil and know precisly what he does. and as above, i don't think he knows his weakness (or that he has one) but he'd fight frantically to save his projector anyways.

3) Can a servitor be stunned? This happened when S-Swat (my first group) ran into Modeen. The doomie in the group launched Mirv and racked up enough damage to stun him. One low card for him later, and the group's Templar had shish-kabobed him. I think it's much scarier if the party mows him down in a hail of gunfire and then he pops up on the next card undamaged and laughing. I've always taken immunity:all to mean (much like the scene from the Preacher graphic novel) you could drop a 20-megaton nuke on his forehead, it would detonate and when the smoke cleared, the big bad would spit and growl "not enough gun". 

that's the way i'd go. no stun. hehe, modeen went down for you like he did for me. the harrowed used burrow, snuck up (under) on him and tripped him allowing the templar to pulp his face.
