Homebrew B-1 Battle Droid (Species) Species Details

B1-series battle droids, also referred to as B1 battle droids, standard battle droids, clankers, or tinnies were the predominantly used battle droids manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata and Baktoid Armor Workshop. Even though they were extensively produced and deployed, the B1-series battle droid was flimsily designed and easy to destroy, and was only truly successful in substantial overwhelming numbers. Early versions of the model also required the use of a Central Control Computer, but despite these weaknesses they saw extensive service as the mainlines soldier of the Trade Federation's mechanized droid army. The droid army was deployed during the Invasion of Naboo, and after landing B1 battle droids marched into the Naboo capital of Theed, and using the massive army the Trade Federation captured the city. The droids continued to maintain the Trade Federation's grip on the planet, throughout the occupation, and the majority of Federation droid troops were deployed to combat the Gungan Grand Army at the Great Grass Plains. In the ensuing battle many militiagungs were killed, with the army initially capitulating to Federation forces, which had the gungan soldiers in retreat. However, the entirety of the droid army was defeated because it shut down due to the control computer being destroyed, along with the Federation's Droid Control Ship by the young Force-sensitive pilot, Anakin Skywalker, during the portion of the battle that transpired in space.

B-1 Battle Droid (Species) Traits

Battle droids are meant to be a flimsy, simple thing to use characters meant to provide immersion into a conflict rather than the centering on jedi and sith.

Droid Nature

Due to being artificially manufactured, you do not have a necessity to eat, drink, or breathe. Water, however, will still affect you in other ways (usually decided by realism and your DM,) and you have no methods of propulsion to keep you from sinking to the bottom due to being made of metal.

Programmed Sentience

Due to your artificial form of no real flesh, you are immune to psychic damage (having no brain) and poison damage (having no poisonable flesh)

Bloodless

Due to your robotic nature, You are immune to forced sleeping effects on the condition that non-magical or magical, it cannot be a tranquilizer (eg, tipped dart, sleeping poison, etc.) If your DM allows it, they may also add this condition to anything requiring to enter a real living bloodstream.

Toughness

Due to your metallic form, your skin of metal is a form of armor allowing for +1 hitpoint every level (including when you start off)

Naturally Armored

Your armor class, due to your metal nature, increases by +2. This includes if armor is worn, in which armor would be classified as the strength of your armor plating.
