Restraining Bolt

Restraining bolts are to droids what binders are to sentient creatures. Using magnetic clamps or chemical adhesives, restraining bolts attach to a droid’s chassis and are used to control its actions, usually by means of a remote control.
The most basic restraining bolts simply shut a droid down, allowing the user to bypass guards and incapacitate any droid witnesses. More advanced systems can be used to make a droid follow the orders of the person holding the restraining bolt controller.
Most droids cannot withstand the powerful programming overrides in a restraining bolt.

Player Character droids are made of sterner stuff than their NPC comrades and can, with the right amount of effort, overcome a restraining bolt. PC droids may make a Daunting (4 Difficulty) Discipline check to shake off the effects of a restraining bolt and act normally after one is applied.
After a failed check, they may make another attempt at a later time at the Game Master’s discretion.
