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.

Stalwart

SFS Note: The stalwart armor upgrade provides a circumstance bonus, not an armor bonus.

A stalwart upgrade consists of inertial dampeners spread across the body, often augmented by armored boots that can deploy stabilizing struts. When activated as a move action, these dampeners monitor your biosigns, impeding any sudden movements that you didn’t initiate. While activated, the stalwart upgrade consumes 1 charge per minute, and each time you are targeted by a bull rush, reposition, or trip combat maneuver, the upgrade consumes an additional charge to grant you a +4 armor bonus to your AC against the combat maneuver.
