A 3rd-Degree or Class Three Droid is a Droid programmed for interaction with organic beings in services such as childcare, diplomacy, interpreting, teaching, and the social sciences. Protocol Droids and Service Droids are 3rd-Degree Droids.
Ability Modifiers: All 3rd-Degree Droids receive +2 bonuses to both their Wisdom and Charisma, but suffer a -2 penalty to their Strength.
Behavioral Inhibitors: 3rd-Degree Droids firstly cannot knowingly harm a sentient creature, unless another creature would be harmed due to inaction. 3rd-Degree Droids secondly obey orders from their designated owner (whether that be an actual owner or themselves).
Droid Traits: All 3rd-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.
Though rarely used for true military purposes, 3rd-Degree Droids are often the face of the political forces behind combat forces. As a result, many models were as hated as the owners who sent them to inform local populations that an army was approaching and all buildings and possessions in the area were being confiscated. Although every major government and organization continues to use 3rd-Degree Droids to ease negotiations straight though the Clone Wars and in the years beyond, the attitude of many less powerful civilians toward Droids took a sour turn for many decades.
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.
Since the years of the Clone Wars, every major government and organization has used 3rd-Degree Droids to inform local populations of the impending arrival of troops (and the impending seizure of property and goods). As a result, most civilians greet the arrival of 3rd-Degree Droids with open hostility.
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.
