How Do I Add A Drone To My Mechanic's Sheet?

What it says on the tin. I'm the GM, and I'm tying to help out, but I can't seem to make it work.

You create a second character sheet and the player clicks it to have both sheets. Then the player drags and drops the portrait into the drone area of the main character sheet.

I see. I didn't think it had to be a second sheet. Okay, thank you.

Thank you for this post I'm new to Starfinder and was wondering the same thing.

FYI, with the new changes to the Starfinder Ruleset (in preparation for the release of Tech Revolution, I assume) the drone is handled in a new way!

On the character sheet of the mechanic, go to the "Gear" tab and you will see four tabs along the top. The Vehicle Tab can be used to add Drones, Vehicles, and MECHS! Utilize the blue/black buttons to add the sheet desired and then click the "Golem" to open it.

I hope this is helpful in response to the recent changes.

1 will create a new Character Drone
2 will create a new Character Vehicle
3 will create a new Character Mech

Of note, the buttons do not create new "Character Sheets". It creates a sheet specific to the entity chosen that is contained within the character sheet that generated it. At least this is what it looks like to me as I was unable to locate the sheets separate from the origional character sheet. I am certainly a fan of this version over the link to another sheet or NPC.

They are not linked anywhere else. It is contained within the character sheet and means the player 'owns' these records. They can modify as they see fit without the GM having to monitor or assist in changing the records.

This change is appreciated, but when I tried creating the drone it added the class but I can't seem to give it a feat or add basic features to it like you could when it was a separate character sheet.

I could verify this and will get to work on it. Sorry I missed that.

If you spot anything else please report it to the bug report thread please. It would be greatly appreciated.

No problem, your efforts are appreciated.

Just wanted to document this somewhere. We noticed the drone attached to the mechanic's gear tab didn't level correctly. The base attack bonus was not correct. But it was correct for a drone setup as a separate character sheet. So we decided to just go with that.
