[1]: 208 Mekton II (1987) – the third edition of R. Talsorian's mecha game – was the first game to use the full-fledged Interlock system, and featured point-based characters with a character background system adapted from the original Mekton, though in a more complex and comprehensive form called Lifepaths.
A variant of the Interlock System is used in Teenagers from Outer Space and the Japanese Gundam Senki RPG.
A typical skill roll will range from 12-20 for most tasks, so a skill 10 + stat 10 will succeed at virtually any task barring a critical mishap, while a skill 0 + stat 2 (minimum statistic level for a human character) will fail at any but the very simplest task, and even then will succeed only on a critical success.
There are nine Attributes: Intelligence (INT), Reflexes (REF), Cool (COOL), Technical Ability (TECH), Luck (LUCK), Attractiveness (ATT), Movement (MOVE), Empathy (EMP), and Body (BOD).
Every piece of cyberware has a Humanity Cost that reduces the character's base Empathy.
