I've got pcs that want themselves and their vehicles to be undentable. With this in mind they layer on 8/8 or more in personal armor and ridiculously high amounts of vehicle armor on their trucks and drones (6 - 10 points hardened).
Is there any effective limit to what they can put on at chargen? Also, if I remember correctly, the extra weight associated with adding armor makes handling tests more difficult. Is this correct, and what does it do exactly? |
