Tech Specialist Class Traits by Level
All Tech Specialist traits are part of a single progression — unlike Jedi or Soldiers, Tech Specialists do not
branch into subclasses. The traits below represent your growth as a combat engineer, slicer, and field technician
from level 1 onward.
Level 1 – Tech Savant
Once per Short Rest, gain advantage on Mechanics and Use Computer checks. Your intellect makes you deadly efficient with tech.
Level 1 – Analytical Mind
You can use your Intelligence modifier instead of Wisdom for Perception and Treat Injury checks.
Level 2 – Field Medic
You gain Advantage on Treat Injury checks and can stabilize a creature as a Bonus Action instead of an Action.
Your medical proficiency improves as your expertise grows:
• Level 5 – When you use Treat Injury, add your Proficiency Bonus to the hit points restored, in addition to the usual result of the roll.
• Level 10 – When you use Treat Injury on an ally within 30 feet of an enemy, both you and that ally gain +2 AC until the start of your next turn.
• Level 15 – You can use Treat Injury as a Bonus Action once per turn.
Level 2 – Combat Engineer
As a Bonus Action, you can perform a quick equipment repair or recalibration on a creature, droid, or device within 5 feet of you.
Choose one of the following effects, which lasts until the start of your next turn:
• Weapon Tune-Up: The target’s next weapon attack gains +1 to hit.
• Armor Adjustment: The target’s AC increases by +1.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus per Long Rest.
Level 3 – Grenadier
Your skill with explosives and battlefield ordnance turns every grenade into a precision tool of destruction.
You gain proficiency with grenades if you don’t already have it. When using grenades, apply the following benefits, which improve as you level up:
• Current Level – You gain +1 attack and +1 damage when using grenades.
• Level 7 – Add your Intelligence modifier to grenade damage rolls.
• Level 13 – Allies within a grenade’s area of effect take half damage, and no damage on a successful saving throw.
• Level 17 – Increase each grenade’s damage by one additional die of its normal type.
Level 5 – Droid Command Protocol
Your deep understanding of droid programming and mechanical intuition allows you to empower, manipulate, or even seize control of synthetic beings. Your mastery of droid control improves with experience:
• Level 5 – Once per Short Rest, as a Bonus Action, you may overcharge a friendly droid or construct within 30 feet.
For 1 round, the target gains Advantage on attack rolls, +2 to AC, and +10 feet of movement speed.
• Level 10 – You can now empower up to two droids simultaneously when you use this feature. Additionally, once per Long Rest, you may override an enemy droid within 30 feet. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + PB + INT) or obey one command of your choice on its next turn (no self-destructive orders).
• Level 15 – Your connection with machines becomes instinctive. When you overcharge or override a droid, you can issue one bonus command to all friendly droids within 30 feet (move, attack, or defend). Overclocked droids also gain +2 to saving throws and temporary HP equal to your INT modifier.
• Level 19 – Once per Long Rest, you may fully seize control of one droid within 30 feet for 3 rounds. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + PB + INT) or come under your complete control during that time, acting on your commands as if it were your ally. Afterward, the droid becomes immune to further overrides from you for 24 hours.
Level 6 – Lucky Hacker
When you successfully use the Use Computer skill to access or retrieve data, there’s a chance you uncover additional hidden information. Roll a d20 — on a result equal to or less than your Intelligence modifier + proficiency bonus, you discover a bonus detail, system vulnerability, or file the system wasn't meant to share.
Level 7 – Tactical Uplink
Once per Short Rest, as an Action, initiate a battlefield uplink for 3 rounds. Choose one mode:
Offensive Protocols: Allies of your choice within 30 ft gain +1 attack rolls.
Defensive Protocols: Allies of your choice within 30 ft gain +1 AC and +1 saving throws.
The effect ends if you’re incapacitated or lose line of sight to them.
• At level 15, all bonuses increase by +1.
Level 9 – EMP Surge
Once per Long Rest, emit an electromagnetic pulse (30 ft radius).
Droids, shields, and active electronic systems must make a CON save (DC = 8 + PB + INT).
On a fail: disabled 1 round (no actions or reactions).
On a success: unaffected.
Organic creatures are not harmed.
• At Level 17 – EMP Surge now lasts 2 rounds, and affected targets have Disadvantage on saving throws against it.
Level 10 – Bio-Implant
Choose one of the following:
• Neural Accelerator – Gain +2 to Initiative rolls. Once per Short Rest, you may add your Intelligence modifier to a Dexterity saving throw or attack roll.
• Muscle Fiber Reinforcement – Gain +2 on Melee Attacks. Once per Short Rest, you may add your Constitution modifier to a weapon damage roll.

Once per Short Rest, as an Action, you may target one electronic device, droid, vehicle, or turret within 60 feet that you can see. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier) or become hijacked for 1 round.
While hijacked:
• Droids and turrets act as if they were your allies.
• Vehicles or automated systems (e.g., doors, shields, cannons) can be commanded to perform one simple function of your choice (open, close, fire, power down, etc.).
• Organic creatures wearing powered armor or using an energy-based weapon must make a Dexterity saving throw or suffer Disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of their next turn, as their systems glitch and spark.
