This page lists five fully playable humanoid droid models available in SWURPG. Each droid species has a unique origin, intended role, and set of traits to support their function β from stealthy saboteurs to elite medical units.
All droid species are selected during character creation like any organic species, and then paired with a class.
GMs should follow these patterns when adding new droid species.
Looking for inspiration? Here are some exciting combinations of droid species and classes to bring to life in your SWURPG campaign:
