Robot butlers are primarily programmed to assist with household chores and hospitality services. They can perform a wide range of tasks, including cooking, cleaning, and organizing events. Their high charisma also allows them to be skilled conversationalists, able to engage guests in polite conversation or provide information on a variety of topics.
In a combat scenario, robot butlers can act as support units, providing temporary hit points to allies through their "Serve Beverage" ability. They prefer to avoid direct confrontation but will defend themselves if necessary, using their tray to bash opponents or deflect attacks.
Note that while they have a telepathic link ability, they use this strictly for serving purposes, respecting the privacy and agency of all individuals. They maintain a courteous and respectful demeanor at all times, holding to the highest standards of butlery etiquette.
