Known Powers (in addition to common Base Modron powers):

Additional Limbs / Arm:
tridrones have three arms, and can make attacks with all three of them in a given exchange. Thanks to their inherent talent with the boxing skill, tridrones can make up to three attacks in one exchange, the last two of which will occur as contingent actions (though this divvies up their action score rather severely).

Enhanced Senses / Circular Vision: having three eyes, each of which is set apart by 120 degrees on their inverted pyramid-style frame, the tridrones benefit from full 360 degree vision at all times. As this is a function of physiology and not a power, per se, this power has no intensity (but then again, it cannot be negated, either, so this isn't necessarily a bad thing).

Equipment

Modrons, if on a special mission, can be equipped with just about any type of necessary device. For instance, tridrones, if they know they will be going into battle, will carry three javelins with them, to be thrown at an oponent at the beginning of battle. Usually, the use of these +2 weapons can quickly end conflicts with beings of like power.

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills (in addition to common Base Modron skills):

Spears:
tridrones have an inherent skill with the use of long, stave-like objects with pointy ends. Whether they be spears, javelins, or other sharp-ended shafts, a tridrone can use them to deadly effect. In battle, tridrones make attacks with spears at one difficulty level lower than normal, and can either use them in melee or throw them (the latter being an agility attack).

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:

The most important difference between a tridrone and the lower modrons is that tridrones are capable of truly advanced cognitive functions; in other words, they are effectively sentient beings, and can converse in both the native modron tongue and planar common. Like all modrons, however, little else besides order concerns them.

Appearance:

The tridrones appear as upside-down, three-sided pyramids, balanced upright by six legs (two extending from each side of the pyramid). Each side of the 'pyramid' also holds a complete face (including one eye and the general fleshy modron face) and one arm, all three of which a tridrone can bring to bear in battle. They are five feet tall.

Ecological Niche:

Tridrones serve as the administrative arm of Mechanus' laborers. After receiving instruction from their quadrone superiors, tridrones will subdivide such tasks amongst the various duodrones they are responsible for, who then share pieces of these jobs with the monodrones. A tridrone is usually in charge of twelve duodrones at one time.
