Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Enhance Ability (likely) — Like Enhance Ability it's a touch-based buff to a single target's capabilities, but instead of granting advantage on ability checks it grants expertise (doubled proficiency) in one skill or tool, so treat it as a narrower, droid-only competence boost rather than a true match. ✨
Double a droid's proficiency bonus in one skill or tool it already has proficiency in, giving it expertise for up to 1 hour.

Pairs witha party with droid companions · Mechanic archetype · high-stakes skill challenge encounters
You enhance a droid or construct's protocols. You touch one willing droid or construct and give it expertise in one tool or skill of your choice.
You must choose a tool or skill in which the target is proficient and that isn't already benefiting from an effect, such as expertise, that doubles its proficiency bonus.
