You have become more specialized than other droids of the same or a similar model.

• Hotwired Processor: You gain temporary processing power, enhancing your mental attributes. When you hotwire your processor (a swift action), you gain a +5 circumstance bonus on Intelligence- and Wisdom-based skill checks and a +1 cirumstance bonus on ranged attack rolls. A hotwiring lasts for a number of rounds equal to one-half your level (rounded down).
  When the hotwiring ends, you move -1 persistent step along the condition track. The penalties imposed by this condition persist until you receive repairs (using the repair droid application of the Mechanics skill).
