1) Computer Use -1 step bonus to all rolls
involving the use of computers.

cybernetic parts. Droids do not require oxygen and are immune to
suffocation, mental attacks, disease, radiation, and poisons.

following items- Nanocomputer AI (as ability scores indicate) ,
Exoskeleton (Ordinary quality) , 4 cyberlimbs (Marginal Quality, +0 to
STR) , 2 cyberoptics (Ordinary Quality), 2 passive data slots,
Self-Repair unit (Ordinary Quality), Toolkit.

group to his skills, he must see a mechanic and computer programmer to
add this skill to his body and AI. -Droids must rely on their
self-repair unit for healing or see a mechanic. -Droids have limited
batter power and can only operate normally for CONx8 hours without
recharging (which takes one hour). How they recharge is up to the GM and
the player. -Droids cannot take the Leadership broad group or use any of
its specialties. Similarly, they may not use any STR skill untrained. Fen (GW 4th edition, adapted by
