Powers:
Enhanced Senses / Infravision: duodrones are blessed with the ability to see in the dark, in addition to their normal five senses, at intensity 4 ability. Basically, this sensory power allows them to see about ninety feet into the gloom of night (or other odd darkness). While rarely necessary on Mechanus, it definitely comes handy in their off-plane work.
Wings: duodrone modrons are equipped with two small, metallic wing things that sprout out the back of their oddly shaped bodies, additional limbs that allow them to take to the air if their duties require them to. This flight functions at intensity 2, allowing them to flutter about at approximately thirty miles per hour; not very quick, to be sure, but it works.
Equipment
Modrons, if on a special mission, can be equipped with just about any type of necessary device. Duodrones, for instance, most often carry at least one weapon on them, usually melee (such as a club or spear) but not always (duodrones can make effective use of a bow or crossbow). These should be considered +2 weapons (generally not that overtly lethal).
Hindrances:
(none)
Skills (in addition to common Base Modron skills):
(no additional skills)
Calling:
Soldier: moreso than any other beings in the multiverse, modrons live to further the influence of law and order. They follow the orders of their superiors instinctively, for to do otherwise is incomprehensible. While this calling sounds more militant than modrons really are, it should be noted that they are virtual exemplars of the soldier mindset.
Personality:
While they aren't as dim as monodrones are, duodrones are still not that bright, being unable to function independently. Two function creatures, the duodrones are capable of performing two tasks at a time, wielding a limited ability to interpret commands. Duodrones can only speak in the logical language of the modrons (but they can speak).
Appearance:
The duodrones are small, though not as short as a monodrone. At four feet tall, the duodrone basically consists of two rectangular blocks, joined together at the 'waist' with a round, cog-looking device between them. The lower block connects to the duodrone's two legs, while the top holds its two arms and face (which is vaguely humanoid).
Ecological Niche:
On Mechanus, duodrones are only slightly less numerous than monodrones, in that vast, vast quantities of the creatures are necessary to maintain the strange chain of command that the modrons adhere to. In addition to their limited administration role, duodrones often perform complex tasks beyond those monodrones are capable of completing. A duodrone is usually in charge of twelve monodrones.
