What's the deal with High Tech Medic?


Mechanic Class Discussion


Okay so like the moment I looked at this feat it felt weird and janky and unpleasant to me.

First off, Concentrated Dose 'disassembles' the item. Pardon? So are the mod's effects in addition to the item's original effects or not?

Secondly, why is the effect of the Healbot mod hardlocked to drones? Why can say, a Turret Mechanic not also just straightforward boost the effect of a healing item?

Secondthirdly, how does Healbot even *work*? Do they have to take the item from you? Does it just teleport to the drone? What's the deal here?

Lastly... storing 3 healing items in your rig? Really? Is healing item storage space that much of a deal?


1:No.

2:Because Healing Robot.

3:spend action get result. Your rig gives items/upgrades to your exocortex device for the purpose of mechanical use.

4: Storing to use in a specific way, yes. View it more as ammo or charges for the two abilities the feat gives you.

There's no necessity for the item in question to be stored in your rig though. You can just be holding something, you use Modify, and suddenly your drone has it and is administering it regardless of where they are.


It says your drone uses the stored item, sounds like you can only use those limited items stored in your rig that the feat gives you.

Okay then what about the other two subclasses?


What about them? They don't interact with the feat in any way.
