{{IS_A=Special Ability}} {{Type=Spark Skill}} {{Name=Build Dingbots}} {{Description=Agatha can build small semi-sentient clanks ("dingbots") quickly, cheaply and easily -- indeed, she does so almost by habit when her mind wanders. These dingbots are individually not terribly useful, but can accomplish quite a bit when a number of them are working together. Indeed, [[Gil]] [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/gg101.cgi?date=20060825 calls them amazing]. Indeed, they manage to [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/gg101.cgi?date=20061002 save the day against the slavers].}} {{OldToDo=Fill in the details of this ability: exactly how much it costs to use, what the dingbots can do, and so on.}} {{Notes=This power is potentially very GM-intensive, so make sure it doesn't get too hard to manage.}} {{Text=You have a particular knack for constructing little Clanks, which you've nicknamed "Dingbots". You may construct a Dingbot once every half-hour for free, without spending any points; to build them more frequently, you must spend one point each. To build a Dingbot, you must focus on the task for five minutes (two minutes if Dingbot Prime is assisting you), do some construction, and hum while doing so. You may send Dingbots off on specialized tasks such as exploration or repair. Most of them are not as self-motivated or clever as Dingbot Prime, but they can usually do one task reasonably well. Each Dingbot (aside from Dingbot Prime) can only be used once (to keep this mechanic from running the GMs ragged).}}
