Armor Upgrades

A creature can personalize armor by purchasing and installing armor upgrades, described below, which add bonuses or customized abilities to armor. Some individuals keep a collection of upgrades at hand, swapping them out as needed (requiring 10 minutes to replace the unit and resecure all connections). Explanations of entries for upgrades’ statistics follow.

Molting Coat Module

A molting coat module replicates the quick-molting skin of a vasporan. You can activate the module as a reaction when you are hit by an attack targeting your KAC while in an atmosphere. You reduce the attack’s damage by an amount equal to 5 × the upgrade’s mark number. This reduction applies only to the triggering attack and stacks with one other source of damage reduction or resistance. The module requires 1 hour to secrete a new coat before it can be used again.
