Character Bio - The FX-series medical assistant droid, also referred to as Fixits, was a medical droid series line produced by Medtech Industries. Only ten models (FXs-1 through 10) were made. They were often immobile, cylindrical droids with numerous "arms" that assisted patients during surgery or other medical procedures. They could help by cutting away dead flesh, holding items, or even injecting bacta fluid (which was why they were occasionally constructed at command stations during times of war to save injured soldiers).

During the Clone Wars, Galactic Republic forces often deployed FX-series droids by aerial insertion into forward positions and Republic Mobile Surgical Units, acting as mobile aid stations for critically wounded clone troopers.

When Anakin Skywalker was grievously injured by Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, Palpatine brought him to a medical facility on Coruscant. It was here that an FX model droid worked on Anakin's body to bring him out of his critical situation. The droid later facilitated Anakin's transition to his half-robot body. When the now suited up Darth Vader received news from Palpatine that he had killed Padmé, his fit of rage and grief caused Vader to destroy everything in the room with the force, including the medical droids. The round "head" of the FX model that worked on Vader was crushed, as well most of its body. External containers holding presumably bacta shattered, spilling their contents.

During the Galactic Civil War, FX models were in use by both the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

I've been reading the public play tests for 2-1B, and I really worry the medical droid bonding is going to be too strong. Removing two order markers and a 50% chance to remove a third with one order marker from a rebel hero? Seems really strong to me.

Maybe if the bonding was movement bonding with the medical droid?

Though personally I like the idea of "reveal an order marker from this card, take a turn with any medical droid you control."

Another thought that popped into my head would be using this droid to some how augment 2-1B's healing. Possibly something like picking how many wounds you want to heal, with an increasingly difficult roll required based on how many wounds?

Separate thought, why would you ever take this droid, with his 50% chance to heal one wound, over 2-1B with a guaranteed 2 wound healing?

I apologize if this is not the kind of feed back you're looking for in this thread, I'm just posting my initial thoughts on it.

Well, I put the two main ideas I saw in 2-1B's thread from brainstorming. It can be changed though. Let's see more public opinion first. Don't forget playtesting too.

That is redundant in bold. Empty spaces do not contain glyphs.

And for the second power, why not (Something) REPAIR?

2-1B works with just Rebel Heroes. This one can work on any one.

Medical Droid bonding
After revealing an order marker and taking a turn with FX-7, you may immediately take one a turn with a Droid hero you control with the Medical class.

Good start.

So an order marker on FX-7 would allow a second FX-7 to take a turn with the bonding, as it's currently worded?

Right that was my intent.
