QUOTE (Glyph @ Aug 11 2013, 11:50 AM)  Unless they are a fomori ghoul with arcane arrester, astral hazing, and a Willpower of 7... Overall, though, tank builds can give new GMs fits, but tend to be one-trick (and not even an offensive trick) ponies that are still vulnerable to multiple other kinds of attacks. Things like mystic armor, orthoskin, or cyberlimb armor have a big opportunity cost - your ability to take a beating comes at the expense of being able to dish one out. FFBA and PPP were both designed to stack with existing armor, and aren't really that horribly unbalanced. The discrepancy with miltech armor is because they made it too close to SWAT armor, stat-wise. If you can start out with a base rating that is the same as light miltech armor, then add FFBA and PPP to it, of course you will have a better rating than miltech armor. Though, normally, Milspec armor is more easily provided to people with lower Body Attributes (Body x3). Of course, if you take every little thing that could possibly ever apply, the restriction to Bodyx2 is not really all that much of a limit. |

Armour is pointless.
99.9999999999999% of all people throughout history who've worn armour are now dead. That's practically all of them. Therefore, the armour did not keep them from dying. Therefore, armour is pointless. QED. My logic is undeniable. (For a given value of 'logic') |
