A 1st-Degree or Class One Droid is programmed for the mathematical, medical, or physical sciences. Subcategories of the 1st-Degree are Medical, Science, and Mathematics Droids.
Ability Modifiers: All 1st-Degree Droids receive +2 bonuses to both their Intelligence and Wisdom, but suffer a -2 penalty to their Strength.
Behavioral Inhibitors: 1st-Degree Droids firstly cannot knowingly harm a sentient creature, unless another creature would be harmed due to inaction. 1st-Degree Droids secondly obey orders from their designated owner (whether that be an actual owner or themselves).
Droid Traits: All 1st-Degree Droids posses Droid Traits.
Droids play an important part in any Old Republic Campaign. Droids are just as prominent during the days of The Old Republic as they are in later years, and many models are the obvious predecessors of Droids used during the Galactic Civil War.
The Clone Wars saw the rapid development of Droid technology, mainly due to the Separatists' heavy reliance on Droid military units. The Droids presented in this chapter are some of the models found in use in nonmilitary capacities.
The most common 1st-Degree Droids are medical models; civilians rarely encounter other types of 1st-Degree Droids. Newer models are very expensive and heavily licensed by the Empire, so most beings do with whatever older models they can keep running.
Although soldiers are loath to admit it, Droids can be invaluable assets in battle, whether as support or as front-line combatants. Even in eras when Droids are less common or distrusted- such as The Dark Times- they are still utilized in some fashion.
