In the spirit of LibrariaNPCs Starship threads. I wanted to create a thread on droids. Droid are not ignored but do not give them nearly as much love as I wish in EotE. I don't think I can nearly go in as detail as well as LibrariaNPC does, but I will give it my best shot. So lets explain my method of madness.
In Star Wars droids are broken down into Five different classes listed below;
Class I:
Class I droids are the most advanced out there, medical droids and other droids that require heavy CPU power.
Class II:
For the most part Class II droids are designed for maintenance and engineering. They tend to have quirky personalities (think R2-D2).
Class III:
These droids are meant for interaction with other sentiants. Protocol droids, serving droids.
Class IV:
Combat droids, sail of these droids are very restrictive. Basically if its meant to kill, its in this class.
Class V:
These droids are a bit “simple” mainly used for non-electronic repairs, labor work, ect ect
The EotE core rule book brakes down droids in seven categories. Antiquated Battle Droids, Assassin Droids, Astromech Droids, Maintenance droids, Medical Droids, Protocol Droids, and Security Droids. Considering all the details are in the CRB I wont repeat it. Know that I am basing my prices off of Table 12-1 on Page 409. The stats are also based off of the CRB but neither will match exactly. I also found that there seems to be one more class of droids, which could fall in with Maintenance droids, but I see them as Labor droids, not mechanically inclined but capable of a wide variety of simple tasks no one really wants to do.
Another thing I want to mention. I believe all droids are customizable, just like biological sentients are upgradeable with cybernetics, ships and weapons have Hard Points, so can droids be upgraded, instead of trying to figure out HP's I leave it in the GM's hands.
