Trying to fathom the ultimate suit of Armour.
All bells and whistles. The cost of this Armour. Any ideas.... |

Well, you're certainly concise. Have you looked at the Mil Spec armor in Arsenal?

Depends on what you mean by "Ultimate". The right tool for the right job.

Um, "spare no expense" and "not for a starting character" ...?
Heavy Military Armor (net rating 17/15), with:
Plus a Military Helmet (+2/+2), with:
... and maybe a Tazer Shield (+2/+6), with
That's pretty badass, there. You're talking 21/23 armor, Predator-style active camoflage, shielded nine ways to Sunday, and with a special surprise built into the shield. ... Or were you hoping for something a wee bit more reasonable and likely to happen in-game, but still really cool? |

Can polymer make Armour invisible to thermal scans? Can we add muscle massargers? A.V stalk? Is there a way to increase a wearers strength? Are there ways to add a shoulder mounted, retinal aiming laser to the shoulder like predator? Does the helmet include camera? Would a military spec helmet have heads up display? Can a helmet include Mathis CPU? Can a helmet house chip jack? Can it be done? Side note question can a helmet house an A.I like in halo? |

Now that is awesome!!! But is it shielded against EMP? You know, I knew I was forgetting something ... dangit. QUOTE Can polymer make Armour invisible to thermal scans? No, just visual, sorry. You could fit in thermal damping, but you'd have to drop something else off - no more Capacity left, sorry to say. QUOTE Can we add muscle massargers? Sure, no sweat. QUOTE A.V stalk? Is there a way to increase a wearers strength? No, and yes, respectively. The Strength augs take up Capacity though, so adding them means removing something else. QUOTE Are there ways to add a shoulder mounted, retinal aiming laser to the shoulder like predator? Yes, but a weapon arm costs 9 capacity, so you'd have to drop SEVERAL something elses. QUOTE Does the helmet include camera? Not for recording, but it'd be cheap enough to add one. QUOTE Would a military spec helmet have heads up display? "Image link." QUOTE Can a helmet include Mathis CPU? Can a helmet house chip jack? Honestly, I don't see why not, for either. You would want to add Trodes to the interior of the helmet, to make those work, though. QUOTE Side note question can a helmet house an A.I like in halo? Build a really nice Commlink into the helmet, and yes, it certainly could. ... Making a little Master Chief, are we?

Ah, well just be aware ... ShadowRun armor is more than half a century mroe technologically advanced than the current modern day. The above suit of armor would not be physically possible, for ANY price, in a 2010-2020 era setting.
For contemporary armor? You should just google up images of "U.S. soldiers on patrol in Afghanistan". They're wearing pretty much the best non-prototype, mass-production stuff there is. (Or at least, they SHOULD be.) |

Agreed yet the vampire game I am in is set in the future. So shadowrun esk gadgets and Armour are in. |

Cool.
Sadly for your PCs, that also means UV bullets are probably in, too. Or vampire-specific flesh-dissolving nanites. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And maybe orbital mirrors to reflect the sun down onto the darkened night side of Earth. How do you make a building impregnible to vampires? Make it always be broad daylight within a mile of said building. ^_^ |

That brings up a question - could you design a laser weapon that operated in the wavelengths of sunlight, thus making it afflict creatures who are allergic to sunlight? Also, SNES SR strobe light - would it actually work?

So 'actually work' depends on how much the Mage building it wants it to Actually Work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) |

But if you want something close-ish to SR milspec armor, check out the Trojan Ballistic Suit.
You can look up pictures of the T and S variants on google easily. |

I always balked at mage players handwaving their way around every other supernatural in existence. Then again, in the canon mages DID destroy a one of the 13 oldest vampires via focused satellitte sun shields and three ghost-powered thermonuclear warheads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif) |

I always balked at mage players handwaving their way around every other supernatural in existence. You mean like my Virtual Adept, who recularly used centimeter-wide Hermes Portals (at correspondance 5, so, more like "tiny wormholes") to fire beams of sunlight "fresh from the outer corona" at vampires? Or the millimeter-wide version, whose "far end" was a four square meter doorway at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, thus producing the hyper-pressure "infinite water laser of doom" ...? Or the one I never did use, but had thought out: the water-laser effect, but from a dozen meters above the surface of Jupiter's solid core ...? ... Good times, good times. Vulgar as all hell, but when the only witnesses were Awakened ... hahaha! |

I know your type (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Let me guess, 3rd got you down, and you resolved never to play anything beyond 2nd? Yeah, me too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

No, actually, I've just rarely (read: almost never) had a good experience with WoD GMs. That virtual adept is the only character I've played past five, maybe six sessions.

I love the Virtual Adepts of Mage. Awesome Concept. Love the New Mechanics of the nWOD, hate the New Mage, however. I want my Virtual Adepts back. |
