Can someone explain to me droid perma death?

A friend gave me a probot a while back and said not to use it because of the permadeath. I asked what it was good for, he said nothing - that's why he's giving it to me. It has around 3k HAM on it. I've since heard that droid permadeath was removed?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I know nothing about droids (obviously)

Permadeath is a non-issue these days. Use and enjoy your droid.

Just watch out for dropping vitality. I hear tell that bio-engineered vitality packs can help this, but I haven't tried it m'self.

Droids can't permadie then?

Nope, no permadeath (although NPC droids can still die).

Note that enough incaps/deathblows and your droid will become a shell of it's former self, eventually degrading to 25% effectiveness.

But it won't 'die'... Though you may want to get a new one in a few weeks.

Thanks a lot for the response!

Anyway to heal your driods ham?

you used to be able to if you were a medic, but now you cant.

All you need to do is find a fairly experienced DE. He/she should be able to fix your droid good as new.

As far as I know the only thing DEs can heal are the wounds on the driod, action and Health are healed by a driod with a repair kit. The mind wounds are healed by a power driod, as for loss of vitality my probot takes so long to lose vitality that im not really to concerned about it. One of my probots I have had for over a month and I have only repaired the wounds once, and the vitality is down to 80 and I use him all the time.
