Power Armor Customization

Power armor is the pinnacle of infantry protection, combining heavy plating, mobility systems, sensors,
and environmental seals into a functional package. All power armor has the following features:

• All Armor is Heavy Armor. It does not stack with worn, natural, or augment armor.
• Power armor covers the entire body.
• Internal display of armor status, sensor data, operator health, and accessory status.
• Incorporates an encrypted (–4) tactical radio with 5km range.
• Tier 3 IDS; can upgrade to Tier 5 (customer supplied).
• Hydrogen power cells provide up to 36 hours of continuous operation.
• Self-contained environment protects from airborne pathogens, gases, bacteria, and virtually all
biological or chemical warfare. Provides heating, cooling, and breathable air while powered.
Suffering one or more Wounds causes a breach, significantly impairing this protection.
• Unarmed attacks deal Str+d4 damage and are Heavy Weapons.
• Even the most basic version is considered Restricted. Most versions are considered Military,
including any models with Weapons or additional Armor modifications.

Refueling the hydrogen cells costs 100 x Size Cryptodollars.

When power armor becomes seriously damaged (GM discretion), repairs typically cost 5% of the retail
price.

popular heavy support for security forces. A minority of designers favor using light power armor as high-
mobility and high-impact strike units.

Parenthesis after the name indicate the maximum number of times a specific modification can be
applied, if more than once; U can be taken an unlimited number of times. The effects of a modification
follow the name.

The Mod Slots column indicates how many Mod Slots a modification uses, per application if the
modification can be applied more than once. Some modifications use a number of slots based upon the
Size of the power armor frame.

armor for riot duty and heavy reaction forces. Security forces take a dim view of civilians wearing

Example
Act of God Armaments was approached to provide a heavy suit for dealing with bio-horrors. The R&D
team came up with the Minister power armor.

Starting with a Medium armor frame, they added two underarm weapon mounts for flame projectors,
the heaviest available armor, night vision, one hard point, a shrapnel pack, and two Strength systems.
That uses (2 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 =) 8 of the eight available Mod Slots.

The list price is (400k + 2x 5k + 2x 2k + 1k + 2k + 5k + 2x 5k + 2x 300 =) 432,600 C$. As Military hardware,

the black market price is significantly higher.
