[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6038898, member: 57383"] No, that's not what I meant. Let's try rephrasing it... [I]Vulnerability to Power Failure:[/I] A droid runs off some kind of power supply, and if it loses power it becomes helpless and unconscious until its power is restored. Most droids have internal batteries that allow them to operate independently for a certain period of time. A standard droid can run on [I]normal power[/I] for 10 days before its batteries start to flag; it then has energy reserves to continue for 5 days on [I]low power [/I]followed by 5 days on [I]emergency power[/I], after which it is forced into [I]shutdown[/I]. A droid operating on [I]low power[/I] acts as if it was fatigued, a droid on [I]emergency power[/I] acts as if it were exhausted. A droid can switch its own power off using [I]emergency shutdown[/I], becoming helpless and unconscious until it is reactivated (either by an internal timer or another creature flipping the droid's "on" switch). A droid can also operate on [I]standby power[/I], it can observe its surroundings and cogitate but cannot move (treat as if the droid were paralyzed). A droid can run at a lower power regime than its battery power dictates, thereby extending the duration of its operation. Switching power regimes is a move action. For example, a droid reduced to [I]low energy reserves[/I] is unable to operate at [I]normal power[/I] but can operate at [I]low power[/I], [I]emergency power[/I] or [I]standby power[/I]. One round of [I]normal power[/I] is equal to two rounds of [I]low power[/I], four rounds of [I]emergency power[/I] or 20 rounds of [I]standby power[/I]. The power ratios are the same for droids operating on reserve power, so 1 round of [I]low power[/I] equals 2 rounds of [I]emergency power[/I] and 5 rounds of [I]standby power[/I]. Is that clearer?
