Droid Directive Template Profiles

Labor Directives

Many droids are programmed to perform a single task, with just enough interaction protocols to get by in other circumstances. Such droids tend to be poor conversationalists, as they are typically obsessed with their single area of expertise.

Skills: 2 ranks in any one General skill. If the droid is a minion, add this skill to its group skills instead.

Combat Directives

True battledroids are outlawed under the rule of the Empire, but many Technicians still construct droids for security purposes, to fend off pirates or other marauders.

Skills: 1 rank in three different Combat skills. If the droid is a minion, add these skills to its group skills instead.
Talents: Body Guard 1 (once per round, may perform the Body Guard maneuver: suffer 1 strain to upgrade the difficulty of all combat checks against one engaged ally once until the start of the droid's next turn).

Repair Directives

A repair droid is a boon to any garage, handling tasks with precision and patience most organic beings lack.

Skills: Computers 1, Mechanics 2. If the droid is a minion, add these skills to its group skills instead.
Talents: Gearhead 1 (remove from Mechanics checks), Solid Repairs 1 (when repairing hull trauma with a Mechanics check, repair 1 additional hull trauma).

Translation Directives

Droid translators, especially those specializing in etiquette and protocol, are very valuable on the fringes or the galaxy.

Skills: 1 rank in three different Knowledge skills, Charm 1. If the droid is a minion, add these skills to its group skills instead.
Talents: Convincing Demeanor 1 (remove from Deception and Skulduggery checks). Kill with Kindness 1 (remove from Charm and Leadership checks).

Astronavigation is difficult, and many pilots prefer to hand over the reins to a trusty machine.

Skills: Astrogation 2, Computers 1, Piloting (Space) 1. If the droid is a minion, add these skills to its group skills instead.
Talents: Galaxy Mapper 1 (remove from Astrogation checks; Astrogation checks take 50% less time). Technical Aptitude 1 (computer-related tasks take 25% less time).

Healing Directives

Medical droids found on the fringes are often homebuilt, but can still be very useful to a colony or ship.

Skills: Knowledge (Xenology) 1, Medicine 2. If the droid is a minion, add these skills to its group skills instead.
Talents: Bacta Specialist 1 (patients under the droid's supervision heal one additional wound each time they heal a wound), Surgeon 1 (when healing wounds with a Medicine check, heal 1 additional wound).

Elimination Directives

Unlike most battledroids, which rely on weight of numbers, assassin droids are precision instruments, as capable at their brutal art as any organic creature.

Nemesis: If its chassis does not already make it a nemesis NPC, a droid programmed with elimination Directives becomes a nemesis; it gains a strain threshold equal to its wound threshold.
Skills: 4 ranks in each of three different Combat skills, Cool 2, Knowledge (Xenology) 1, Mechanics 2, Stealth 2.
Talents: Adversary 2 (upgrade difficulty of all combat checks against this target twice), Lethal Blows 3 (+30 to any Critical Injury rolls made against opponents).

Droid Personality Traits

d100	Positive Trait	Negative Trait
01-10	Loyal: The droid puts its creator's needs above its own, and always looks for ways to help — whether asked or not.	Cowardly: This droid sets survival as a top priority, and shies away from any potential danger.
11-20	Resourceful: Some droids can adapt to problems quickly, and do not get trapped in their own overly narrow programming.	Overly Literal: Many droids (and some organic sentients) fail to grasp the nuances of language beyond its direct meaning. This is one of those droids.
21-30	Patient: Unlike organic beings, droids are theoretically immortal as tong as they receive proper maintenance. Thus, a droid can have a capacity for patience that even the most long-lived organic beings lack.	Arrogant: Whether it believes itself to have been built better than other droids or it believes that droids are intrinsically superior to more temporary life forms, this droid has a high opinion of its own abilities.
31-40	Enthusiastic: This droid has a boundless capacity to see opportunities, and it frequently points them out.	Impulsive: This droid has a boundless capacity to see opportunities, and it usually acts on them without warning.
41-50	Compassionate: Some droids are very caring, and seek to nurture the best in those around them.	Ruthless: It might be spiteful, or it might just see emotion as inefficient, but this droid destroys anything that gets in its way.
51-60	Efficient: This droid abhors waste, and does everything in the most timely and precise manner it can muster.	Lazy: Droids are built to fulfill certain purposes, but this droid isn't particularly interested in doing so if it can avoid it.
61-70	Well-Mannered: This droid always maintains perfect etiquette, even when dealing with individuals it does not particularly like.	Abrasive: Dealing with this droid is extraordinarily frustrating. Whether it answers with sarcasm or not at all, its words and actions are always barbed.
71-80	Cheerful: A good attitude is the first step to success (or so says this droid, anyway).	Pessimistic: Apparent doom lurks around every corner for this droid, and it expresses this belief at every opportunity.
81-90	Reliable: This droid always comes through for its creator or friends.	Unhinged: The only certainty with this droid is that its decisions can't be predicted.
91-95	The GM invents or chooses one positive personality trait.	The player invents or chooses one negative personality trait.
96-100	The player invents or chooses one positive personality trait and then rolls again on this table.	The GM invents or chooses one negative personality trait and then rolls again on this table.
