SFX: High-Tech Healing. Using Nanite Generator to remove Physical stress does not make the Stress worse if the action fails.

character in a conflict, instead grant a d6 for each step of your Effect die. The assisted player may keep as many Effect dice as d6s you granted.

Thoughts on this datafile:
1) Robo is another character where some liberties are taken with the description of certain attacks. The description of Area Bomb/Proximity Bomb says “damage enemies with Meltbeam”, so rather than have Robo continually exploding(?), this Tech is explained as being a powered-up laser beam.
2) Robo tends to get beat up for the sake of the team on several occasions. In the Proto Dome, he holds doors open with his body. When he is first discovered, Robo tries to defend Crono and either Lucca or Marle from the remaining R-Series by letting them thrash him. A similar event occurs during the fight with Atropos, which Robo insists he must do alone. The restoration of Fiona’s Forest is also brought about at Robo’s expense – 400 years of work and disrepair. The Overload and Selfless Limits as well as the Immunity SFX seek to represent this mechanically and provide Robo with a unique way to power his most spectacular abilities.
