Slavemaster

The Slavemaster is an NPC and a player character in Streets of Rogue. The Slavemaster wears a mask to keep anonymity.

The Slavemaster can be unlocked by purchasing 4 Slaves. This can be done over multiple runs.

NPC
Slavemasters can be found in groups of 1-3 with 1-3 Slaves. Slavemasters are armed with an Axe, a Sword, or a Sledgehammer. Players can purchase Slaves from them for $60.

Attacking any of the Slavemasters or their Slaves will cause all of them to become Hostile. Slavemasters will also become Hostile if they see the player attempting to free a Slave with a Slave Helmet Remover, Wrench, Hacking or with EMP. And they also attack Characters with the Scumbag Slaughterer trait and Mech Pilots riding Mech suits in sight.

Playable

 * How to fight: Let your Slaves go in first to soften up your enemies up. Don't fight near them because you can hit them, and they will explode when they die. It doesn't really matter if your Slaves die, because they are so easy to obtain. Without Slaves, you are not helpless. You're okay in melee but you are better with guns. The Taser can be useful when running away if you can't risk fighting for some reason.
 * How to finish a mission: Slaves are perfect for infiltrating hideouts or retrieving items. Make sure to get the most out of the Slave Helmet Remote on each floor. On demand explosions are really useful.
 * Remember, your Slaves are not your friends. They are Submissive toward you and if you keep them around for long enough, they will turn on you. Don't be afraid to give them weapons if the situation calls for it though. Use them however you wish but don't keep them around for a long time.
 * You can use a Slave like a Grenade or a Remote Bomb to break through walls. Tell a Slave to guard a location near the wall then use Slave Helmet Remote to make them explode. You can even do this from a distance so property owners will not get mad at you.
 * Slave Helmet Remote will make ALL your Slaves explode and you are limited to 3 uses per floor. Make sure you plan out how to best use it.
 * Slaves explode when they die or if they move too far away from you. You can weaponize this by telling a slave to wait next to a wall and using them as breaching charges, or to save on remote charges.
 * Ideological Clash will make random NPCs Hostile. While law enforcement will not attack you for fighting back, the best way to handle it is to lure the NPC to a low populated or secluded area and kill or Enslave them.
 * Cops and Supercops make excellent slaves. They come with powerful weapons and are still Aligned with other Cops. You can easily start a huge fire fight by attacking enemies in the street with your Cop slaves.
 * Neither the Taser or Enslave are silent. Combined with Poor Hand-Eye Coordination, you might be interrupted by other enemies during Enslave if you are not careful.

NPC

 * Slavemasters have average stats, but are equipped with various strong melee weapons such as Axes, Swords and Sledgehammers and appear in groups of 1-3, and they can hit hard with them, especially when one is equipped with a Sledgehammer.
 * Because they always have Axes, Swords and sometimes Sledgehammers. You can always kill them, knock them out for them, or buy it off their hands with Art of the Deal.
 * Slave shops often appear in the streets outside, fighting the slavemasters will alert the Cops and they will assist the slavemasters in a fight.
 * Slavemasters play a key role in the Mission Free Slave. To complete the mission, you can:
 * Buy a Slave and free them (buying a Slave will always give you the slave linked to the mission).
 * Kill or Knock out the Slavemasters (In this case, all the slaves will automatically became free).
 * Using the Hypnotizer Mark II to make the Slavemaster Aligned and ask for a slave for free (Same as buying the slave but for free and it will always give you the slave that's required for the mission).
 * Using a wrench or a slave helmet remover to take off the slave's helmet.
 * Hacking the slave's helmet to deactivate it to free the slave.
 * Throwing an EMP Grenade or using Power Sap on the Slave (Which will also free them).
 * If your playing a Shapeshifter, you can become the Slavemaster and free your slaves, via possession.
 * Also as a Shapeshifter, it is possible to possess a Slave and buy your freedom. It isn't recommended to do this as the Former Slave will be hostile, unless you have Possessions are Peachy Keen or the Super Special Abilities mutator on.
