Special Features

Discord Missile Launcher

Some Vulture Droids are equipped with missiles sporting a payload of Buzz Droids. This missile launcher has the following profile: (Fire Arc: Forward; Damage -; Critical 6; Range [Short]; Guided 3, Limited Ammo 3, Linked 1, Slow-Firing 1). A Discord Missile Launcher inflicts no damage, instead a successful hit deploys one buzz droid (see p. 141 RotS) engaged with the target per success on the combat check.


Variable Geometry

A Vulture Droid can change between its starfighter and walker configuration as a manoeuvre. In its walker configuration, a Vulture Droid's speed becomes 2 and it can cling to starship hulls or scale sheer surfaces. A Vulture Droid in its walker configuration can attack using its legs, with the following profile (this weapon uses personal scale): (Brawl; Damage 9; Critical 4; Range [Engaged]; Ensnare 1, Knockdown).

Notes

Droid Vehicles

For purposes of skill checks, a droid vehicle has a rating of 1 in all characteristics and the following skills: Astrogation 2, Computers 2, Gunnery 3, Perception 2, Piloting (Planetary) 3, Piloting (Space) 3, Ranged (Heavy) 3, and Vigilance 2. The GM may modify these ratings or add additional skills to represent a particularly advanced or weak artificial intelligence or specialised programming.

Droid vehicles can be rivals or minions, as the GM decides is best for the story. A minion vehicle droid only receives skill ranks when operating in a group, as usual.

A droid vehicle operates without a crew, and so must be able to handle a great number of tasks simultaneously, although attempting to do so can sometimes overload its circuits. A droid vehicle that is a rival or nemesis can only attack with a weapon or perform a piloting action, or attack with 2 weapons in the same turn, but upgrades the difficulty of both checks once.
