Skill Expertise

Choose two skills to have expertise in, assuming you already have proficiency in your desired skill.

Drone Proficiency

You are an adept at working with drones, as such, you are capable of manifesting drones on the fly, utilizing self-forming Ki'Thal drone designs. At base level, you are able to refer to Base Drone Carapaces, Base Drone Armaments, Base Drone Cores, and Base Drone Augments, utilizing one item from all five lists to create a custom drone. or, you may refer to the Base Drone Customizations to get a pre-made drone.

Drone HP is calculated by a percentage of your Venator health + Archetype health. Meaning a drone with a Tread Carapace and Tough Core would have 130% health, which would grant your drone (ARCHETYPE_HP + VENATOR_HP) * 1.3 health. Drones go directly after your turn, and have their own Action Point pool of 4 points. All drones are small, and can interact with the world in your stead. As long as you are not rendered Blinded or Deafened, you are able to see and/or hear from your drone. Drone Armament attack stats are increased with Proficiency.

Actions:

• Manifest a new drone (2 Action Points, Action available up to PROF amount of times per Long Rest)
• Morph current drone (3 Action Points, Keeps current remaining health percent)
• Heal drone (3 Action Points, Roguish Dice heal, can do PROF times per Medium Rest)

Drone Actions:

• Move (1 Action Point) Allow the drone to move
• Overdrive (1 Action Point) Doubles drone move speed
