He's saying that if the body armor causes a reduction from P to S, he uses the COMBINED TOTAL of ballistic and impact to reduce the stun damage... IE, your armored jacket (at 8/6) would provide 8 dice against a normal physical hit, or (8+6=)14 dice against a hit which was reduced to stun. Not a bad way to go about it.
If the round is usually resisted by impact armor, do you just double the value of the impact armor (flechette being a good example)? |

Serb, just put your SHP self-promotion into your sig. That way you won't need to keep bringing it up in your posts themselves. :)

What about stim patches, though? For 300y, you've got High Pain Tolerance 6. Mind you, I've had the book for all of, what, 3 days, now? And I've been too busy with my classload to actually sit down and read the damned thing, so it's all conjecture.

When a stim patch wears off, you get an extra point if I recall. SO it's a risky temp job. Also, I think that regardless of the patches, if you go over the limit you're screwed, or else you're gonna need a lot of quick slaps before you overdose and die or whatever.

Yeah, but a rating 6 patch lasts for one hour.
EDIT: Wait a second. Isn't the base time to reduce stun damage one hour? |

One hour of rest. So putting on that stimpatch is more for finding a comfortable/safe place to lay down before you collapse in the street/crimescene/bar/etc. |

And note that a stimpatch negates your capacity to rest.

Oh, that's cute... I thought they lasted noticeably longer, for some reason.
I've got a shaman in my crew who uses stimpatches to hold himself together during huge summons. I should probably learn them inside and out. |
