AI Minion

Postby Aerlock » Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:35 pm

I have an idea for a character to have an AI companion residing in what is essentially a suped up smartphone. I would like it to be an actual Minion so that it could have separate skills and potentially give assistance through Aid actions on purely mental/observational actions. The problem I am running into is to give a minion the appropriate size (Diminutive) costs me 24 points for 12 ranks of Shrinking. Now since the AI is essentially an immobile construct the Strength, Skill, and active defense mods of Shrinking are useless.

My questions are:

1.) Am I building this concept wrong or do I need to cough up the points for the Shrinking?
2.) Since it is an immobile AI is it appropriate to start the Agility an Fighting at - and put those points to use elsewhere?
