PRINCIPAL DIRECTIVE

Robots and AAIs are built for a purpose.  Since robots and AAIs don’t have accumulated life experiences like biological creatures they are given a core set of instructions known as principal directives.  Principal directives allow the machine’s creator to incorporate a primary purpose into their operating system.  The principal directives grant a robot or AAI an affinity for certain skills and feats. These affinities give it purpose.

PRINCIPAL DIRECTIVES

When a principal directive is selected you choose two of the available skills under the directive as permanent class skills. If a selected skill is already a class skill or becomes a class skill, the robot or AAI gains a +1 racial bonus on skill checks using that skill as a result of its programming.  Principal directives cannot eliminate penalties gained from AAI Quirks. 

In addition to new class skills, you gain a bonus feat.  This bonus feat must be selected from those listed under the directive’s description. You do not need to meet the prerequisites for this bonus feat.
