The droid must become a force vampire.

He finds force sensitives and drains the midichlorians out of them to put them directly into his oil stream.

Also, Yoda pretty much said the force exists in all things. If it exists between a rock and a tree, why can't it be in a droid?

The force Exists in the droids parts, but the Droid does not have the ability to have a Symbiotic relationship with the midichlorians that would allow him access to the force.

Do not confuse the "Force" with the "Midichlorians".

The Force exist in all things true. In this game that facet of the Force is represented by Force points. Since droids are able to use Force points like anyone else the game already accounts for how they are connected to the Force.

Really a force using Droid??????

I've got a PC who is playing a Droid Shii-Cho Knight, and I have had zero issues. He knows he's not going to get a Force rating, and I revised his talent tree slightly to replace the Force Talents. It's a similar backstory, too - attache to a Jedi, witness to Order 66, thinks/thought he was a Jedi for some time. Right now, he's training another Force Sensitive PC, and there's great roleplaying happening between the two players - the droid *knows* everything but can't *feel* it, and the student is the opposite.

I have no problem with a Droid character that really wants to use The Force. Heck I've batted around an idea for years of a Droid who wants to be flesh and blood. He has a real Pinocchio syndrome. He is constantly researching ways to transfer their consciousness into a fleshy host, but probably never would be able to.

Overall I think it's a really cool character motivation for them to constantly want this thing they can't have, but I probably wouldn't let them actually gain a human body or The Force.

I did once have a cybernetic character who outfitted his body with stuff to trick people into believing he was force sensitive. He has a small repulsor generator that allowed him to telekineese things, something that let him shoot electricity from a hand, and a couple other tricks. He was a cool force huckster.

Until he met the Inquisitor who chopped him up into tiny little bite-size pieces.

I'm away from my DVDs at the moment, but I am absolutely certain there is a TCW episode that deals with a Force-sensitive droid. I remember it because I'd always maintained that canonically, droids couldn't be FS because they had no midichlorians. When this episode came on, my daughter (who took the opposition position), was gloating because her position had just been canonised.

I'm going to have to track down the episode, but I definitely remember thinking "Damn, I'm gonna have to allow FS droids now!"

Was it this guy ?

Huyang wasn't Force sensitive, but he did know a lot about Jedi, lightsabers, and the Force.

Awayputurwpn is correct. That Droid was specifically programmed with instructions and templates for how to build Lihgtsabers. He was not a Force User.

Why is no one going with the obvious answer... a Sith Spirit haunting the droid and using it's poltergeist powers to convince the droid it really can use the Force.

Was just watching the Jedi Knight storyline from Star Wars The Old Republic. One of the Jedi in the story, Leeha Narezz, thinks that droids will eventually be able to use the force and designs two droids with encyclopedic knowledge of the Force in the hopes that they'll become Force sensitive. Seemed like a bit of a pipe dream, though.

If the player understands that he's very likely never going to get a Force Rating, then I don't see the problem with the character concept. Jedi poser actually sounds like a neat concept to me as a GM, and sounds like it would open up lots of fun role-playing possibilities. And who knows, maybe if he plays his character really well, his characters' last act in the campaign could see him move something with his mind.

Nice! A la Magneto at the end of X-Men 3?

It brings to mind the Dwarven Doo-Dad (Druid) from R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt and Cleric Quintet books, who was convinced he was a Druid and eventually, he was.

Pikel is great.

"Shelala!"

Well if the player's goal is to make a droid whose former assignment in the Jedi temple left it with knowledge of the Force and Jedi history, I could see that knowledge and the personalities/mannerisms of the Jedi rubbing off on it.

The droid might attribute a stroke of luck to the Force acting on a situation, speak in riddles and proverbs, and advocate peace and wisdom like a Jedi would. Maybe this droid even wears Jedi-like robes over its chassis. Essentially, the droid's behavior is its imitation and extrapolation of how a stereotypical Jedi acts, pieced together from years of working with them.

I wouldn't even look at the F&D careers for this one. Start in EotE with Colonist--Scholar for all the requisite Knowledge skills, as well as some social skills and a few nifty Knowledge-based talents. Or, if you wanted to start a bit more physical, Explorer--Archaeologist has all the knowledge stuff, but can be a bit more fighty. And both have the "Well-Rounded" talent which, if your GM allows it to, would let you make Lightsaber a career skill if you wanted. All of the "Jedi" stuff would come from how you played the character.

I personally find the idea of playing what amounts to a "religious scholar" droid far more interesting than a focus on trying to shoehorn Force powers (or cybernetic imitations thereof) into the character. You could even work in a character arc where the droid comes to the realization that though it will never have the Force, that doesn't stop it from upholding the values and legacy of the Jedi.
