Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Hold Person — This is your Hold Person — a single-target lockdown that shuts a foe down until they save out — but retooled for droids/constructs (it incapacitates rather than paralyzes, uses a Charisma save, and they get a fresh save whenever they're damaged instead of every turn).
Force a Medium-or-smaller droid or construct within 60 feet to save (Charisma) or be incapacitated until the start of your next turn.

Choose a Medium or smaller droid or construct you can see. The target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, it is incapacitated until the start of your next turn. Each time the creature takes damage or is the target of a hostile power while incapacitated in this way, it can repeat this saving throw, ending the effect on a success.
