The Cybermen were originally built as an upgrade of the residents of the planet Mondas, to help them survive and bear the pain of the harsh conditions they were living in. Unfortunately, as the Mondasians became more and more machine-like, the less their minds could cope with it. As a result, they inhibited their own emotions, not only to keep themselves sane, but also to remove the final vestiges of pain within them - the pain caused by sorrow, anger, and loss. These were the first Cybermen. However, it wasn't enough to end their own pain; the Cybermen declared it their mission to end all pain throughout the cosmos. So they spread out, conquering worlds, upgrading the universe. If any civilization defeated them, the Cybermen would upgrade themselves and return, swiftly putting an end to those who would deny their "gift." There have been many versions of the Cybermen in the past, but they are now mostly extinct. The new Cybermen, Mark VI, are the most powerful model; not only are they faster and stronger, but they can adapt to nearly any attack. After only a few minutes in battle, the Cybermen are immune to almost any weapon. Heroes must take great caution when attacking Cybermen; one by itself is dangerous enough, but an army could easily overcome even the most seasoned adventurers' parties. Constructed Nature. A Cyberman doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. Cybermen as Player Characters. If a Cyberman attempts to upgrade a PC, and the PC fails on its first Constitution check but succeeds on the second one, it becomes an independent Cyberman. An independent Cyberman’s Strength, Dexterity, Armor Class, and Speed are increased to that of a standard Cyberman if they are not already higher. It also retains all of its spells and other equipment. |
