Then I gained artificer armor 2 months in, got another +10 to agility, and 2 more armor histories. Which got me a Mk 3 helmet, and a modified MK 4 chest piece with an Iron collar. The helmet gives an additional +5 charisma.
Though RL me is far closer to a Tech Priest than a Space Marine...
Wouldn't an older helmet by default have worse defensive stats tho
The part where the DM rage quits, is the last time I use psyionic powers was when I already hit fear rating 4 and I use "VORTEX OF DOOM" which lets you insta-kill anything that fails an agility role by this black-hole you opened for 1 round.
Erm.. the equipment is maintained spectacularly..
the Older Helmet did lower Defense but give more charisma and my Iron Collar can deflect headshots to the torso on a roll of 1d10 (5 or less it goes to the chest)
all MK 3 gear is basically the same as wearing MK 2 but better armor on the front vs back.
Nah, I meant, as in its an older model, it has less features etc @Laucivol
It lowered my perception bonus for "Auto-senses" and it has less armor, like 1 pt less of armor.
Fair nough
Oh, that doesn't make all that much sense to me.. as 40k did have a dark age.. though that depends on how old we're speaking. Though, I know the setting.. not the system.
But becoming artificer armor it becomes 12 DR all around.
Since there have more been ten thousand years since the Horus Heresy
I imagine quite a lot changed armour wise
Especially around Mk 1 and 2
Mechanics wise, in lore, mk 4 is the best armor of all the armors as it's the height of technology. In the PnP system it does have slightly less DR than mk7 but it has the best Life support, better perception, etc.
so its got 1 point of armor less than mk 7 all around, but its got everything else as better rule wise
if you are suicidal and wear mk 1 you got the weakest armor but a +30 to charisma with everyone around you
See I don't get this
The Older the Armor, the more respect you got.
They are not something I would call beautiful
Its the respect you get for wearing an older suit in game
@Jack of Trades I would hope not
you're only talking and dealing with other marines in game. The older your shit is or the more decorated, the more charisma you can get.
I guess respect is some form of Charisma
only armor which can't be upgraded is MK 1
For obvious reasons
and it's incompatable with all other armor types in the rules.
It, honestly, dependa on the working definition of Charisma.
So you're fucked because if the ship is depressurized you can't survive in space.
Mainly because most of the spare parts and potential upgrades have rusted away
nope, its because the suit's mostly with leather and chainmail. Only the torso is powered on mk1
the rest is just mega heavy plating held together by chainmail and leather
#doubt
Yeah, in lore MK 1 power armor only hsa a powered torso
Space age
Chainmail and leather
MK 1 is from an age of technobarbarianism before man returned to space
