Threadjack from [url=http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=14120&st=75[/url]. Now, I haven't read the whole book yet, but the vibe I got from that thread is that a possessed spirit adds its Force in armor to the vessel, possibly with the Immunity to Natural Weapons power. In this case, the vessel is clothes or armor.
Does that really increased the Encumberance? Mechanically, I think it could go either way. It's an armor bonus, rather than the armor rating itself (I think). However, if you're just looking at the new rating, with bonus, then that would add Enc per the hymnal. Fluffwise and (*GASP*) logically, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Does a pair of coveralls get stiffer, or heavier, or both, when inhabited by an ethereal consciousness? |
