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.

Grenadier (Ex)

Source Interstellar Species pg. 24
Mod Level Advanced
By periodically scavenging materials, your drone creates improvised explosives. After a full 8 hour rest, your drone can create up to three grenades by spending 2 Resolve Points per grenade. It can create any grenade with an item level that doesn’t exceed your mechanic level – 3, but only the drone can use them. These grenades remain functional until used or until the drone recovers Resolve Points after a full 8 hour rest. The drone can draw and throw one of these grenades as a standard action, even if it lacks the limbs to do so. As a reaction when your drone is reduced to 0 HP, it can detonate one of its stored grenades, which explodes using one corner of the drone’s space as the explosion’s grid intersection.
You can select this mod a second time, which reduces the RP cost per grenade to 1 and enables the drone to make any grenade with an item level less than your mechanic level.
