For what reason?
Would they have "anti hero points" to represent their dark side? Or since they are lifeless droids would they not have the ability to gain DSPs?
Would they be 'capped' at 5 hero points like non force sensitive lifeforms are?

This doesn't seem to make sense as that would be an expenditure that they would not get get back. As I said, this could just be faulty memory. |
But the droids didn't dodge anything. They just walked through the firefight and just happened to not get hit. So it seems you are suggesting FPs not only allow you to do something beyond your normal ability level, but they also allow you to make it look like you aren't doing anything. Interesting. So in this case, the FP allowed then to roll double their dodge but the result of not being hit in the crossfire is just translated into the in-universe outcome of the humorous luck of blaster bolts whizzing by. I kinda like that idea. Kanan and Ezra on Rebels certainly seem to demonstrate this outcome! |
Yeah, I've always kind of thought of that moment as the pair being lucky.
Perhaps that's the answer. Give droid PCs (who are the equivalent of Threepio and Artoo) one Luck Point, that works just like a Force Point does for living characters. |

Han clearly hadn't seen the droid cross that corridor and avoid all of the laser fire!

That wasn't luck, it was plot immunity!
