Options for building a droid

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

Hi guys,

My gf is starting a game and I'm looking into making a Gank Gadgeteer (maybe with some cross class into mechanic or outlaw tech), and I was wondering what possibilities existed to make a droid companion under his control.

Are there actual game mechanics for this, would i have to buy and edit the droid, or would i have to talk to my gf about house ruling it?

Thanks

I don't believe there are yet, but the Techie book should be coming out soon.

Like you suggest, I'd buy the droid closest to what you want then ask the GM if you can reduce the cost by a percentage based on a successes generated by a roll of the worst of your Computers or Mechanic skills (5% per success? Is that too stingy?).

Maybe Advantages give the droid minor installed starting equipment.

Threats generating "quirks"...

If you're starting in Gadgeteer, by the time you are ready to move into a spec from Technician 'Special Modifications' should be out and it sounds like it'll have what you need.

Thanks for the responses

The new Technician book looks perfect for what I need, I guess I'll just focus on bounty hunter and basic mechanic stuff until thats out

Cheers
