Hidden Storage and the art of keistering

By HappyDaze, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

After watching the movie Get Hard (yes, alcohol was involved), I got to thinking that keistering might be a perfect example of a droid using this talent to hide objects within itself. Of course, the movie showed humans capable of doing it with the equivalent of blaster pistols and vibroknives...

Is that a good thing?

Hiding a blaster pistol in that manner requires at least a Formidable: Discipline, with possibly some subsequent Resilience checks...

Most times. Other times... not so much.

I thought about this too, but doesn't the cybernetic cavity cover this?

Or utility belt?

R2-D2 didn’t “Keister” Luke’s lightsaber in RotJ. But it was hidden internally.

I can think of lots of ways that an object could be in a hidden compartment in a droid, without necessarily being stored in that manner. Some cybernetics are specifically designed for just this sort of thing on biologicals, so I don’t see why droids couldn’t easily do the same.

Anyone who did use this method would want to be real careful how the object is extracted — you wouldn’t want it activating prematurely.

I'm sure it'll be included in one of the splatbooks rule wise....."how to conceal items in your prison locker."...... :blink:
