Drone Mods

As you gain levels, your drone gains custom modifications, gear, and programming that give it additional capabilities and options. Any level-based abilities for your drone’s mods use your full mechanic level, regardless of whether you’re using control net to assign fewer levels to your drone.

Your drone gains its first custom modification at 1st level and an additional mod every 2 levels thereafter. Mods are grouped into two categories, basic and advanced. You can choose basic mods at any level, but you must be 11th level (or have assigned at least 11 levels to your drone) to select advanced mods. Some mods require your drone to have other custom mods installed before they can function. Unless otherwise noted, each mod can be selected only once.

Using sophisticated sensors and ballistics processors, your drone not only provides withering covering fire but can also quickly convey recommendations for how to best target your attacks. Your drone gains a +2 bonus to attack rolls to use covering fire, and it can choose to grant the circumstance bonus exclusively to you, rather than to the next ally to attack that foe. If it does so and that attack hits, it deals 1 additional damage per weapon damage die. You must be able to see or hear your drone to gain this benefit.
