Commercial Customization Feat 1
Prerequisites drone exocortex
You’ve taken your drone beyond basic survival protocols, layering on black market hacks, guild-certified refits, or pirated tech from defunct starship manufactories. Your drone gains one commercial customization from the current tech economy—perhaps a diagnostics suite, communication relay, integrated tool kit, cargo clamp, data tap, or any other upgrade.
Special You can select this feat up to three times.
The following commercial customizations are available to any robot companion.
Armored Plates: Your robot companion gains a +1 item bonus to AC, or a +2 item bonus to AC if it is a superior robot companion. It still uses its unarmored proficiency to calculate its AC.
Artificial Personality: Your robot companion has an artificial personality and can attempt skill checks that require Charisma. It can speak Common.
Aquatic Adaptation: Your robot companion is waterproof and gains a swim Speed of 20 feet.
Cameras: Your robot companion is equipped with cameras, allowing you to see what it sees via your comm unit or a similar device.
Climber: Your robot companion gains a climb Speed of 20 feet.
Flier: Your robot companion gains a fly Speed of 20 feet.
Grounded: Your robot companion loses its weakness to electricity.
Integrated Weapon Mount: Your robot companion becomes trained in simple and martial weapons. It has one weapon mount. You can install (or uninstall) a weapon into this weapon mount as a 10-minute activity with the manipulate trait. When a weapon is installed in this weapon mount, your robot companion can wield the weapon and can’t be Disarmed of the weapon. You can take this customization twice, to gain a second weapon mount.
Light Mounts: Your robot companion sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius (and dim light for the next 20 feet). Your robot companion can turn this light on and off as a single action.
Linguistic Upload: Your robot companion can speak two additional languages. It must have an artificial personality or sapient customization to select this customization.
Manual Dexterity: Your robot companion can use up to two of its limbs as if they were hands to perform manipulate actions.
Nightvision Sensors: Your robot companion gains darkvision.
Olfactory Receptors: Your robot companion can use scent as an improvised sense within 30 feet.
Skill Module: Choose a skill. Your robot companion becomes trained in the selected skill. You can select this customization repeatedly, choosing a different skill each time.
Speakers: Your robot companion is equipped with speakers, enabling you to speak through your drone.
Upgrade Slot: Your robot companion gains one armor upgrade slot.
On Rim worlds, “commercial customization” means adapting your drone for everything from Rift salvage to blockade-running courier jobs, to stealth-encoded message relays. Guild allies may recognize your customizations as the mark of those who “make their own luck” or skirt the rules. Drones with unique mods are often courted by black market tech fairs, cutthroat salvage crews, or desperate colony outposts seeking an advantage.
Commercial Customization is how mechanics make their drones not just tools, but full participants in the Starfall survival drama—capable of creative workarounds, surprising hacks, and field miracles no off-the-shelf bot could ever match.
