Aspect of Armor

Aspect of Armor (Current x5 to raise)

Each level gives 1 contraption Required components of each level cannot exceed components of the corresponding level.

Cannot built contraptions that exceed your rank in resources, Science, laboratory, intelligence or engineering. Cannot be raised more than two above crafts)

When creating a contraption or adding a new upgrade to an existing contraption, roll either science or engineering (stated on contraption) difficulty of its rank + 4. Failure indicates that you lose the components, a botch indicates that the contraption is destroyed.

A NOTE ON UPGRADING SUIT PLATFORMS: Suit platforms may have any small or medium sized defensive contraption that fits with the theme of the suit incorporated into them. For every three defensive contraptions, the dex penalty increases by 1.

 RANK 1:  Contraption Plating Contraptions may have a hard time dealing with difficult in-the-field wear and tear. For this reason, rigorine fibers may be woven over the surface of a contraption to increase its stability. Time to make: upgrade takes 1 day. Required components: Rigorine Fiber, any completed contraption Sci/Eng: science

Instructions: Small contraptions take 5 square meters, mediums and suit platforms take 20 square meters, and large contraptions take 100. This is not suitable for airship plating. Function:This upgrade doubles the structure levels of whatever contraption it is applied to. It does not increase weight. Small contraptions typically have 4 structure levels Medium contraptions typically have 7 structure levels Large contraptions typically have 30 structure levels.

When applied to a suit platform, this upgrade provides four dice of armor.

 RANK 2:  Thermal Sink Upgrade

 RANK 3:  Sonic Dampener

 RANK 4:  Flack-Free Field Generator

 RANK 5:  Point-Defense Kinetic Sink (converts kinetic energy into electricity, channels back into attacker)

 RANK 6:  Sanctuary Field
