- Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- You gain proficiency in the Technology skill. If you are already proficient in it, you instead gain expertise in it.
- You learn the repair droid tech power. You can cast it once, using supplies scavenged around you, without the use of a wristpad and without spending tech points, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
