While sitting down at your computer one night minding your own business, you hea

r a massive explosion outside your home. You rush outside to find something you
can only describe as a drop-pod from some sci-fi game sitting in a small crater.
As you slowly approach it, a blue beam bursts from the pod, scanning your body
before you can react.
SCANNING...
ORGANIC LIFEFORM DETECTED.
SENTIENCE LEVEL: OK
THOUGHT PATTERN: OK
BIOLOGY: SAFE
SCAN COMPLETE. WELCOME, USER.
As the beam recedes into the pod, a holographic display pops into view.
PLEASE CONFIGURE YOUR SUIT.
RESOURCE POINTS: 200
Before you can fully comprehend the situation, you see several other lights fall
ing from the sky. Pods, you assume. Regardless of where this strange thing came
from, more are coming. A voice in the back of your head tells you that it might
be a good idea to hurry up and get this over with.

SUITFALL: A Power Armor TRPG
==========================
Designer: BulletHarpy
Thanks to /tg/, #suits, and all the other PACYOA folks.
Special thanks to HardTarget for heading the charge and making the original, Arm
ored Descent. Also Bliss, PMCAnon, Eyes, and Dr. Divergent for their contributio
ns, and the many anons who manage or write for the wiki.
Welcome to Suitfall!
==========================
# HOW THE GAME WORKS
#
==========================
Suitfall is a narrative system.
What does that mean? First and foremost, this system addresses the question "who
's to say?" It is designed to establish common ground on the value of player opt
ions.
But that's what all systems do. A narrative system also sits back and lets thing
s unfold if everyone wills it. When something seems like a good thing to add to
the campaign, it lets people do exactly that. For players, it's Stunts. For GMs,
it's Rule 0.
Suitfall is in a way a branch off of something much bigger. Towards the end of 2
013, there was a CYOA on /tg/ that let people create suits and imagine the impli
cations of a simple but robust scenario. Since then, the CYOA has had several ve
rsions, a significant expansion (Symbiotes), and three unique tabletop RPGs.
This is the third. The first is Armored Descent, a grittier version of the origi
nal PACYOA that serves as the basis for the wiki fluff. The second appeared some
time later and had a brief moment of fame, but it hasn't appeared as of late.

This one started as a response to the idea of a liberal rule set, one that would
allow a fast, melee-oriented suit to punch an incoming missile away from its in
tended target. Since then, this TRPG has been under development with the auspice
s of HardTarget, the author of Armored Descent.
But enough of history, let's get into the meat of the system. Or, if you're feel
ing confident, you can jump straight to the rules (Search: # BUILDING A SUIT).
BASICS ----------------------Suitfall requires a d20 and something to record on (pen and paper, or something
electronic). It requires a GM and at least one player.
ROLLS
When something comes down to chance, a roll is involved. Suitfall uses a d20, bu
t unlike other systems it doesn't assign a flat bonus or penalty to the results.
Instead, it uses something called "banding."
Let's consider an example. Joe would like to fire on a target. His banding looks
like the following:
[5,20]
This means that if he rolls below a 5, his end result will be a 5. If he rolls a
bove a 20, his end result will be a 20.
Unfortunately, Joe didn't get good sleep last night, so his firing is impaired.
His GM says that the sleep deprivation is worth a -2 banding penalty. Thus, his
banding is reduced to the following:
[3,20]
Furthermore, he's taken the DIG IN action. His aim is impaired as a result by a
whopping -4 banding penalty. He deducts two from the minimum value, but that put
s him at 1. With a -2 left over, he has to start taking points off from the maxi
mum. His banding now looks like the following:
[1,18]
Fortunately, he heard an inspirational speech prior to the battle, so he's pumpe
d up and ready to go despite the lack of sleep. His GM says that it's worth a +3
banding bonus, so he adds 2 points to his maximum. Since that puts him at 20, h
e can't go any higher, so he starts adding to his minimum. His final banding loo
ks like the following:
[2,20]
Note: You can't go below [1,1] or above [20,20].
TO-HIT
Rolls are made against a to-hit, which is usually represented as a set of values
like the following:
Range [5, 10, 15, 20]
The first value is close range. In combat, this includes any target in your curr
ent line (see LINE section).
The second value is medium range. In combat, this includes any target one line a
way.
The third value is long range. In combat, this includes any target two lines awa
y.
The fourth value is distant range. In combat, this includes any target three lin
es away.
For ranges out of combat, it is up to the GM to determine what constitutes as th

e appropriate range.
KEYWORDS --------------------There will be many keywords mentioned throughout this rule set. Here are most of
them. Feel free to tab through if you prefer reading rules in that manner.
Armor
Deducts Pressure from each incoming attack. Armor is a measure of how well a sui
t can ignore incoming attacks. Superheavy suits tend to have more Armor than mes
h suits, especially since Armor upgrades require Hardpoints. Generally speaking,
if a suit has a lot of Armor, it won't have as much firepower.
Combat Mode
Makes Resilience rise to its normal value (instead of 0), enables combat-only co
oldowns, and is activated via an action. Combat Mode makes a suit responsive in
superhuman ways; if you see a suit out of Combat Mode, it is much more vulnerabl
e than normal. A suit that goes into Combat Mode also must go into Downtime at m
idnight GMT or else break itself.
Damage
Permanent Overflow. Damage denotes how badly a suit is mangled. While it is poss
ible to destroy a suit, such a thing can only happen with the GM's permission. D
amage is also reversible - it can be repaired via the Octopus component and the
Engineer's special.
Downtime (DT)
A measure of how long your suit needs to go inactive IF your suit entered combat
mode in the last 24 hours. Conceptually, you activate downtime by ejecting your
heatrods and generally can't make use of your suit until the downtime duration
has been reached. A suit that doesn't enter combat mode doesn't need to eject he
atrods as the suits are designed to rely on normal heatsinks during normal opera
tion.
Hardpoint (HP)
A resource for weapons and certain defensive upgrades. Hardpoints determine how
much exchangeable equipment your suit can equip. This stat directly influences h
ow much your suit can output in combat and generally how large it is. If you wan
t to enter the battlefield with a multi-cannon salute or fill the skies with mis
siles, this is the stat for you.
Load
Total unmitigated Pressure. Load is a measure of how much offense the suit can't
ignore with simple armor. At the beginning of each turn, Load is assessed and r
eturned to 0.
Mass (MAS)
Determines how much the suit itself adds in mass (and therefore weight).
Mobility (MOB)
Feeds into Resilience, Stealth, and turn order. Mobility is a measure of how fas
t your suit reacts to inputs. This stat determines acceleration and abstractly t
op-speed, even if it mechanically has no effect on movement in combat. If you wa
nt to evade cannon fire and be the first to react to danger, this is the stat fo
r you.
Overflow
Load left unmitigated after Resilience. Overflow is bad - it represents a failin
g of the suit's defenses. It forces conditions on the suit which can be (tempora
rily) ignored.

Pressure
Potential Damage. Pressure denotes how damaging and unavoidable an attack is.
Resilience
Resists Load. Resilience is a measure of how well a suit can handle a wave of at
tacks. It is largely composed of Mobility, which mesh suits are high in and supe
rheavies low. Resilience upgrades don't require Hardpoints, so an offensive suit
can also be very resilient - make sure to team up on these combat monsters!
Size (SZ)
Determines how much space the suit takes up relative to the pilot's height. All
suits can accommodate pilots that are within 25% of the original pilot's height (a
nd within reason for weight), so while a suit may have controls, a toddler won't
be able to pilot a grown man's suit.
Strength (STR)
A multiplier of the user's strength. Determines how much the suit enhances the u
ser's ability to exert force on the environment. The suit's weight is already fa
ctored in.
NARRATION -------------------NARRATIVE TIME
Everything outside of combat takes place in narrative time, a time scale that is
much broader and freely-defined. Narrative time is much slower than combat time
, so anything that takes place in narrative time is just too slow in combat. The
narrative unit of time is called a scene.
SCENE
A series of events that forms the base unit of time in narrative play.
COMBAT ----------------------COMBAT AREA
The combat area is an abstraction that includes the entirety of a given combat.
Because it exists as a result of some conflict, a combat area contains two or mo
re sectors, controlled by opposing sides.
SECTOR
A sector is a zone controlled by a grouping of allies. Allies that are subdivide
d into different sectors conceptually are far apart and require a great deal of
movement to assist each other.
Each sector has two lines, a front line and a back line.
LINE
The frontline is the more contested part of a sector, usually fraught with comba
t.
The backline is the more protected part of a sector, conceptually harder to acce
ss and naturally more defensible. Units on this line halve all incoming pressure
, but any pressure they exert is also halved. A unit that fires from one backlin
e to another retains only a quarter of the attack's original pressure!
Each line has a terrain that is decided at the beginning of combat. In the case
of ambush or other hindering factors, the GM may assign the terrain of specific
lines; otherwise, each sector gets to pick what terrain their lines are. The GM
is always free to veto a pick.
TERRAIN

There are many types of terrain.

Land terrain consists of: [ROAD], [PLAINS], [INCLINE], and [CITY].
Water terrain consists of: [NAVAL] (river, sea surface), [SHALLOW], and [DEEP].
Air terrain consists of: [AIR] and [SPACE].
A suit that fails to have the appropriate movement mode cannot enter that line i
n combat. The GM is free and encouraged to make exceptions via stunts, especiall
y out of combat.
ENVIRONMENT FEATURES
At the beginning of combat, each sector "writes in" 5 environment features. The
GM decides how many may be [STURDY], [CONCEALING], or [DISTRACTING].
The GM can assign up to 4 of the environment features in a given sector, dependi
ng on how well that sector can "choose their battlefield." This typically is low
in the case of surprise or other hindering factors.
Conversely, a well-planned sector may be granted more environment features.
Land terrains always comes with a single [STURDY] feature - the ground.
Features are often used with other actions and can be used in stunts.
COMBAT TIME
In this game, combat is defined by each player. Each suit is equipped with a swi
tch that sends the suit into high alert, readying it for combat and enabling the
pilot to dodge incoming attacks. This is called Combat Mode.
It takes an action to activate Combat Mode. Once Combat Mode is activated, all "
per combat" effects take place and the user's Resilience is no longer reduced to
0. Any components that have combat-specific cooldowns use those instead of thei
r standard cooldowns.
COMBAT FATIGUE
Combat Mode exerts fatigue on a suit. While a pilot can push his or her suit to
its limits by keeping it in Combat Mode, it is ill-advised.
A suit that has entered Combat Mode must go into Downtime at midnight GMT for th
e duration of the suit's Downtime stat or immediately take 20 Damage. No one kno
ws why every suit picks that specific time.
TURNS
The suits with the highest mobility go first. In the case of ties with no tiebre
akers, flip a coin.
Turns are processed in the following order:
1. Resolve beginning of turn effects.
2. Remove one [IN USE] tag from each component on your suit.
3. Remove one [GLITCH] tag from each component on your suit.
4. Resolve Load (see DAMAGE section).
5. Set Load to 0.
6. Gain one action.
7. Spend or store action(s) (see ACTIONS section).
8. Resolve end of turn effects.
ACTIONS
Normally you gain an action each turn. However, you can opt to store the action
such that you can spend multiple actions on a later turn.
You can only have a maximum of 3 actions at any given point in time. Any additio
nal actions are immediately lost. You also can't go into an action deficit.
MOVEMENT --------------------You can spend one action to:
* Move to the other line of the sector you are located in.
* Move to the front line of another sector.
* Attempt to disengage.
* Chase a disengagement.

* Ambush an opponent.
You can't move if you are [STUCK].
DISENGAGE
You attempt to leave the combat.
If your turn comes up again and no one chases, you successfully leave the combat
. This is a beginning of turn effect.
If you are being chased, you need a [DISTRACTING] feature or you fail. You can g
et one from suit features or environment features. As always you can just stunt.
If you fail, you return to the front line of the sector you attempted to disenga
ge from.
CHASE
You attempt to block a disengaging combatant.
You must be on a front line to do this.
If the enemy doesn't have a [DISTRACTING] feature, you succeed. If the enemy has
one, you need to use a component that removes a [DISTRACTING] feature or stunt
appropriately, or you will fail.
No matter the result, you still return to the front line of the sector you attem
pted to chase from.
You can only chase one combatant at a time.
AMBUSH
You attempt to take advantage of the enemy's weakest links and slip into their f
ormation unnoticed.
An ambush attempt requires a [5,20] roll versus a to-hit of [5, 10, 15, 20]. Add
your Stealth score as a banding bonus and subtract the target's Sight score as
a range penalty. If you are using a [CONCEALING] feature, you gain a +4 banding
bonus.
If you succeed, you immediately move to the target's line and can make one attac
k with an non-[IN USE] weapon, adding (your Stealth - their Sight) as bonus pres
sure (minimum 1).
HIDE
Requires a [CONCEALING] feature.
Outside of combat, you may attempt to evade notice. Halve your movement.
Anyone who has a Sight score greater than your Stealth score spots you. As to ev
eryone else, you can't be perceived (unless if you're pointed out).
THE ATTACK ------------------>> Pseudo-code
attack(weapon):
weapon.addTag("[IN USE]")
if atk.result(roll()) >= atk.tohit:
def.load += atk.pressure - (def.armor + def.stealth)
loop():
when def.turn is reached:
def.penalize(def.load - def.resilience)
def.load = 0
penalize(overflow):
if overflow <= 0:
do nothing
elif overflow < 5:
def takes overflow damage if it moves
elif overflow < 10:
def takes overflow damage if it moves or intercepts

unhardened systems glitch

elif overflow < 15:
def takes overflow damage if it doesn't dig in
non-critical systems glitch
else:
def takes overflow damage
all systems glitch (no actions)
ATTACKING
With an action and a non-[IN USE] weapon, you can attempt an attack on a target.
First, you start with a [5,20] attack roll before banding bonuses and penalties.
Some components grant you bonuses and penalties, while conditions and stunts ma
y confer these as well.
Find how far away your target is by counting how many non-ambush moves it takes
to reach them. Then find the appropriate to-hit value associated with the weapon
that you're using. If the value is a "-", you can't make the attack (but you do
n't spend your action doing so).
If your roll is successful, your attack goes in the right direction. Take the Pr
essure of your weapon and deduct it by the target's Armor. If there's any Pressu
re left, add it to their Load.
If you fail, your attack goes wild. It happens.
Finally, no matter the result, add a [IN USE] tag to your weapon. This denotes t
hat it is currently being used to gun down an opponent.
DAMAGE
Every turn you must assess your Load. Conceptually, your Load is the total amoun
t of Pressure you can't ignore, Pressure that must be opposed by your Resilience
. If your Load is greater than your Resilience, you overflow.
Overflow places restrictions on you:
* Less than 5 - You can't move this turn.
* 5 ~ 9 - You can't move or intercept. All of your Unhardened [U] systems [GLITC
H].
* 10 ~ 14 - You have to DIG IN this turn and can't DIG OUT. All of your Unharden
ed [U] and Hardened [H] systems [GLITCH].
* 15 or more - You are [DOWNED] (all systems glitch).
You can choose to ignore the consequences, but you convert the overflow into Dam
age. Damage is nasty - it's permanent overflow, which compounds on your current
overflow. If you have 15 or more Damage, your suit is permanently [DOWNED] - in
other words, it's broken!
DEATH
The death of a pilot is serious business. Suits are designed to preserve the lif
e of the pilot at all costs. No matter how bad a round of attacks is for a suit,
the pilot is guaranteed to survive that onslaught.
Not so if the attacker is vindictive. A [DOWNED] suit can be attacked again, whi
ch damages the pilot directly. In almost all cases, a pilot can't withstand any
damage and instantly dies.
-- TBD -- Symbiotes can choose to deliver a killing blow without taking an actio
n.
OTHER ACTIONS ---------------STUNTS
Sometimes you have a plan and the rules don't quite work out. Perhaps you have a
fun interpretation of how things could work. Or maybe you just want to do somet
hing awesome.
Welcome to stunts! If it sounds reasonable and doesn't take forever to explain,
it happens, shocking everyone in the scene. Your GM chooses the most appropriate
effect from the following list:

* Your attack hits or misses.

* Grant a +5 banding bonus or -5 range penalty to someone else's attack.
* Make or break an interception.
* Treat a target as one range band closer or farther.
* Move to a target location.
* Leave a combat.
* Gain or deprive an environment feature.
* Add or remove a [GLITCH] or [IN USE] tag.
* Repair all Damage and remove a [DOWNED] tag on your suit.
After session, you and the GM decide on its persistent effects and what it depen
ds on (GM has final word). Name it. From now on, you can use the stunt so long a
s the dependencies are fulfilled, but you get the effects as listed.
INTERCEPTION
Only works if you've already had a turn.
If you have a free shield or a weapon that didn't fire, you can use it to interc
ept an attacker by pinning them down with suppressing fire. Roll to attack. If y
ou hit and you deal more Pressure than their Armor, remove the Pressure from one
of that target's [IN USE] weapons.
Your device is now [IN USE] (it can't be used until your next turn).
DIG IN
Only works with a [STURDY] feature.
You are now [STUCK].
You cannot move or intercept.
You take a -4 range penalty to all attacks you make.
Add a +4 bonus to your Armor.
Takes an action to DIG OUT, which removes the bonuses and penalties from the DIG
IN action.
AIM
You gain a +1 banding bonus to your next attack. This bonus stacks, even with it
self, until you move.
With a [STURDY] feature, you gain a +2 banding bonus instead. You forfeit any an
d all of your banding bonuses from AIM actions if the feature is no longer [STUR
DY] or existent, or if you move.
HIDE
Only works with a [CONCEALING] feature or system.
Add your Stealth score to your Resilience. If the feature is no longer [CONCEALI
NG] or existent, or if you move away from the feature, you immediately lose your
Stealth score from your Resilience.
STEALTH ---------------------Stealth in this system is best thought of taking advantage of the weak spots of
the enemy team. Theory has it, while it's a poor idea to approach from the direc
tion that's most watched, it's much easier to take advantage of a formation by t
argeting the ones least capable of seeing.
Command spec suits are able to shift around Sight scores. This allows a team to
shift around scores such that members with lots of Armor or Resilience can take
the low scores. They can also enhance their total set of Sight scores by utilizi
ng scout drones.
Assassin spec suits are the response to this - they can figure out the Sight sco
re of a single enemy with an action. This approach takes valuable time in combat
, but ultimately any security protocol can be unravelled. Suits can also take st
ealth measures that help them ambush targets or flat out ignore most mooks when
carrying out their missions.

In general, the more you invest in Stealth, the harder it is to counter you and
the longer it will take for you to down a target. Patience is key for the buddin
g infiltrator.

Components can be Unhardened [U], Hardened [H], or Critical [C]. This determines
roughly how reliable the component is when the suit is put under stress.

Armor (ARM)
A measure of how well your suit can ignore fire. In game terms, Armor is deducte
d from each incoming attack, but works poorly against attacks that spike in dama
ge. This stat determines how bulky or dense the suit is, as well as how much it
is affected by incoming force. If you want to brush off gunfire and walk freely
into a firefight, this is the stat for you.
Mobility (MOB)
A measure of how fast your suit reacts to inputs. In game terms, Mobility affect
s Resilience, Stealth, and your position in the turn order. This stat determines
acceleration and abstractly top speed, even if it has no mechanical effect on m
ovement in combat. If you want to evade cannon fire and be the first to react to
danger, this is the stat for you.
Hardpoint (HP)
A measure of how much exchangeable equipment your suit can actively use at once.
In game terms, all weapons and certain modules require hardpoints to be used, t
hough they can be carried without using hardpoints. This stat determines how muc
h your suit can output in combat and generally how large it is. If you want to e
nter the battlefield with a multi-cannon salute or fill the skies with missiles,
this is the stat for you.
Downtime (DT)
A measure of how long your suit needs to go inactive IF your suit entered combat
mode in the last 24 hours. In game terms, you activate downtime by ejecting you
r heatrods and cannot activate combat mode until the downtime duration has been
reached. A suit that doesn't enter combat mode doesn't need to eject heatrods as
the suits are designed to rely on normal heatsinks during normal operation.

Size (SZ)
Determines how much space the suit takes up relative to the pilot's height. All
suits can accommodate pilots that are within 25% of the original pilot's height (a
nd within reason for weight), so while a suit may have controls, a toddler won't
be able to pilot a grown man's suit.
Mass (MAS)
Determines how much the suit itself adds in mass (and therefore weight).
Strength (STR)
Determines how much the suit enhances the user's ability to exert force on the e
nvironment. Fine-tuned coordination is generally tricky without advanced control
mechanisms.
SPECIALTY ------------------A suit's Nova Core is often times moulded to deliver a specific output. By adapt
ing this flexibility to use cases, suits take on specializations that permanentl
y define what the suit is most capable of performing.
Choose one.
COMMAND
Grants "External Sensor Array [C]" and "Advanced Communications [C]" for free.
Pinpoints friendly suits using any available, on-board signal. Once per combat,

a single [STURDY], [CONCEALING], or [DISTRACTING] feature to the suit's current
line.
Special - Patchwork Nanites: Can repair 1 Damage as an action to any adjacent ta
rget.
MOBILITY
Grants "Floaters [C]" for free (if you already have them, the mobility bonus sta
cks).
Add 1 to mobility for turn order purposes. Wins all mobility ties against non-Mo
bility opponents.

Redesigns the armor to obstruct signals and reduce the sound it produces.
SZ 100%; MASS 90%. +2 Stealth.
INTERFACE -------------------Due to unique design goals, suits tend to have unique user interfaces. While som
e require the finesse of higher order interfaces, others are designed to operate
under any conditions.
Note: Tactile sensation, while adjustable, can only be toggled in realtime. Thus
, pain can only be mitigated and reduced in a predictive manner.
Choose one.
Controls [C] (0)
Provides a mechanical set of powered controls, customized to fit the capabilitie
s of the suit. Anyone can use the suit if they provide the right key. Visual and
audio input is delivered through display.
Nerve Suit [H] (5)
Grants an obvious, skintight suit that delivers tactile sensation. Comes with a
cord that connects to the cockpit. Anyone can use the suit if they provide the r
ight key. Visual and audio input is delivered through display.
Spinal Jack [C] (5)
Attaches an artificial spinal casing to your spine, which delivers all sensory i
nput directly into your brain. Only you can use the suit. Extra limbs feel natur
al and intuitive to control. Very obvious when observed bare and generally hard
to conceal.
Brain Implant_1 [H] (10)
Implants a non-rejecting chip onto your brain that interfaces with it directly,
delivering all of the benefits of "Spinal Jack". Additionally, the user can use
any communications telepathically while not wearing the suit.
Brain Implant_2 [H] (15)
Grants the benefits of "Brain Implant_1". Additionally, the user can remotely pi
lot the suit and can overlay visual input with any and all HUD elements while no
t wearing the suit.
CRITICAL PROTOCOL -----------Embedded into the suit's core systems is a primitive AI called the Critical Prot
ocol. It activates when the user is forcibly disconnected from the suit while in
Combat Mode, commonly as a result of the interface glitching out.
Choose one.
Survival [C] (0)
Dig In if possible, else do nothing. Broadcasts a distress signal to friendlies
and neutrals.
Combat [C] (5)
Intercept incoming fire if possible, else Dig In, else do nothing. Broadcasts a
distress signal to friendlies.
Overdrive [C] (10)

As Combat. The user may initiate Overdrive Mode at any time, which immediately r
emoves [IN USE] and [GLITCH] from all modules and ignores the [DOWNED] tag. This
mode lasts for 3 actions, after which the suit immediately turns off Combat Mod
e, takes 15 Damage, and is [DOWNED]. Broadcasts a distress signal to friendlies.
Martyr [C] (20)
As Overdrive, but the suit overloads its power core after the 3 actions are up,
creating a powerful fission explosion (Pressure 100) with a radius of several km
. Broadcasts a farewell to friendlies.
AI --------------------------Assistive AI can never take the place of a pilot, but it is always designed to s
upplement a pilot's abilities or complement his/her capabilities. They are alway
s fully programmable and come with an inviolable factory reset option.
Choose one.
None [C] (0)
You go alone.
0 drone limit
Dummy [C] (5)
A dummy AI is designed to perform standard tasks associated with device manageme
nt and passive awareness. Appears as a sprite or handheld hologram.
1 drone limit, +1 Vision
Complex [C] (10)
Complex AIs provide a richer tasklist and are used in military functions. Appear
s as a sprite or handheld hologram.
2 drone limit, +2 Vision
Genetic [C] (15)
Genetic AIs are sentient AIs. Capable of developing advanced heuristics, it is d
esigned to evolve and interact with users in a more natural manner (and thus are
heavily influenced by them). Can appear as a sprite or holographic, human-sized
body that can project into the world and lightly interact with it, but cannot c
arry more than 1kg. Additionally, once per combat the AI can warn you of a [DIST
RACTING] feature, allowing you to ignore it.
2 drone limit, +2 Vision
HUD -------------------------A pilot without a HUD is a sitting duck. While all suits carry the basic sensor
array, many upgrade their sensors to suit their particular needs.
Basic Sensor Array [C] (0)
Comes with basic binocular lens with 3D perceptive capabilities, ambient microph
ones, and feedback sensors that inform the pilot of the response of a given comp
onent when polled. Also comes with basic universal positioning, though the resol
ution makes it hard to tell where you are outside of your timezone and hemispher
e.
+2 Vision
Precision Geodesy System [U] (5)
Adds a refined, high-resolution navigation system to the suit. While it will pri
oritize utilizing pre-existing systems (such as GPS), it is capable of launching
three high-altitude drones that provide high resolution, range-limited photogra
phy of the terrain. With enough scanning, it is capable of mapping an entire pla
net (or more).

Enhanced Optics Array [U] (5)

Replaces the binocular lens with telescoping lens, which are able to focus up to
100x zoom. Dynamic filters allow the suit to perceive at night in color (albeit
with some saturation).
+2 Vision
Dynamic Scanning Array [U] (5)
Adds a thermal sight and a set of directional microphones with an audio filter t
hat selects out nearby heartbeats. Great for close-ranged, high resolution aware
ness, but suffers from noise and distance.
+2 Vision
Environmental Scanning Array [U] (5)
Adds a radar/sonar module that is noticeable at first glance. Great for long-ran
ged detection and environmental awareness, but suffers from resolution issues an
d is poor at delivering realtime data.
+2 Vision
Deep Scanning Array [U] (5)
Adds an x-ray module and ground-penetrating radar system. While poor at distance
and resolution, they are capable of piercing materials and are especially prize
d by prospectors and sentries alike. Pierces the Infiltrator's "Chameleon" effec
t and "Collapsible" forms, but only within 30' (the same line in combat).
+2 Vision
Internal Sensor Array [H] (5)
Adds active scanning sensors to the suit which feed readings such as hull integr
ity, oxygen levels, environmental hazards, and other information pertinent to th
e suit's state.
External Sensor Array [H] (10)
Includes "Internal Sensor Array". Enhances the HUD by performing complex sensor
analytics using pre-existing sensors, which estimate enemy states, nearby securi
ty systems, mines, and other threats.
Systems Hardening [H] (5)
Hardens one pre-existing array, giving it the [H] tag. Generally makes the senso
rs bulkier or more embedded.
COMMUNICATIONS --------------While all suits are able to communicate on a basic level, some require higher le
vels of connectivity.
Basic Communications [C] (0)
Comes with a voice broadcast which is able to loudly project one's voice out to
100m. Able to send and receive A/V transmissions out to 1km via unsecured full s
pectrum broadcast.
Encryption Protocol [C] (5)
Secures all broadcasts via advanced, alien algorithms.
Advanced Communications [H] (10)
Includes "Encryption Protocol [C]". Enhances the comm set with high power system
s that can communicate through any planet.
Wireless Connectivity Module [H] (15)
Provides internet connectivity using secured protocols. Generally selects for th
e fastest signal, but will switch to alternative signals (3G, satellite) if high

bandwidth signals are unavailable (WiFi, 4G). With "Tentacle", it grants wired
connectivity. With "Eternal Sensor Array", it grants Augmented Reality which ove
rlays on scan.
Universal Translator [C] (5)
Translates any language and can read lips by analyzing facial movement. Incapabl
e of translating symbiote communication, if it even exists.
BIO -------------------------Though nanites are commonly rejected as an option due to societal implications,
the onboard pod AI grants you access to such options given the circumstances. It
does not elaborate on this.
Canvas Nanites (5)
A cluster of nanobots inject you and allow you to change your gender, height, we
ight, skin, hair and eye colors. Takes one day per alteration to complete.
Progenitor Nanites (10)
As with "Canvas Nanites", but also change your DNA, chromosomes, genetics and an
atomy from human to elven. Lifespan is increased to 200 years and all physical a
nd mental disabilities are cured. Appearance can only be changed once on acquisi
tion.
Hydra Nanites [C] (10)
A small platelet factory is embedded into your body, creating nanites which acce
lerate healing and allow the regrowth of limbs.
Stasis [C] (20)
Your suit is filled with bio-sustaining liquid, putting your body into stasis. S
lows aging and removes need for water and food but not air. Armor recharge does
not interfere with stasis. You can leave at any time, but requires 1 month of re
hab. Extended use over time causes muscle deterioration. Hydra Nanites lack the
bio-electricity from the nervous system during stasis, as the body is put into a
coma-like state, rendering compatibility impossible (Hydra Nanites do not work
while user is in stasis).
STEALTH ---------------------These features exist to enhance a suit's ability to go unnoticed.
Countersurveillance Measures [U] (5)
Allows the suit to deploy chaff and smoke canisters, which allows the user to re
roll a jamming roll once, but voids the use of [CONCEALING] features. Can be use
d once per combat, though multiple purchases will grant one additional use per p
urchase.
Moth [U] (10)
Computer script that automatically interferes with a target's optics for a short
amount of time, making it difficult for a target to respond to an ambush. Grant
s a +4 Stealth bonus during an ambush action.
Ladybug [U] (10)
Computer virus that interferes with a target's locomotive systems, preventing th
em from moving. The target can't take a move action until the end of your next t
urn. This also grants a +2 Stealth bonus to any suit making an ambush action aga
inst the target while the effect is up. Can be used once per combat, though mult
iple purchases will grant one additional use per purchase.
Optical Camouflage [U] (20)

Changes the visual properties of the suit such that, when active, treats enemy S
ight score as 0 if they don't have special vision. Grants [CONCEALING] once in c
ombat as an action, which lasts until the suit moves quickly (out of a line). Ou
t of combat, it can be used so long as the suit has no Damage.
Simulacrum [U] (20)
Allows the suit to project a holographic clone, which is hard to distinguish fro
m the original at a glance. The clone is a [DISTRACTING] feature and may interce
pt one attack with an illusory copy of one of your weapons, ignoring the target'
s Armor if your Stealth score is greater than the target's Vision score. If it i
s attacked, it immediately disappears and the bonuses end. It requires an action
to project. The clone lasts until the end of your next turn.
Combat Stress Upgrade [C] (5)
Hardens one pre-existing stealth feature, giving it the [H] tag. Digital feature
s tend to run at high priority levels, while mechanical features are better prot
ected by the suit's design.
UTILITIES -------------------Encompasses all sorts of miscellaneous effects.
Life Support System [C] (0)
Your suit provides air, regulates pressure and temperature (within 0.1~10 atm an
d natural Earth temperatures), and is hermetically sealed (unless "Exposed"). Yo
ur suit also includes an internal scrubber, a waste disposal unit and a fluid re
capture unit. The resulting water is reportedly "drinkable".
Tentacle [U] (5)
Gain a small tentacle that can interface with any computer directly.
Pigeon [U] (10)
Computer trojan that reports data to the user about the infected system. Can't b
e detected except by "Octopus", in which case it ceases operation.
Octopus [U] (10)
Computer program that analyzes suits and delivers a detailed status report. Allo
ws user to perform maintenance, which repairs all Damage and removes [DOWNED] ta
gs from a suit as a scene. With "External Sensor Array", can maintain other armo
r suits as well. With "Deep Scanning Array", allows user to analyze objects othe
r than suits, but doesn't confer the ability to maintain them (except with GM ap
proval).
Spider [U] (15)
Computer virus that will inject and sabotage any computer it is installed on. Ca
nnot affect power armor.
Discrete Collapsible [C] (5)
The armor can be collapsed to a fraction of its original size and mass with a br
ief one minute process. When collapsed, it is inactive. Expanding it takes the s
ame amount of time. This form is usually some personal item, like a watch, neckl
ace, or pack.
When collapsed, SZ 10%, MASS 10%.
Dynamic Collapsible [C] (15)
As "Collapsible", but the armor can be rapidly collapsed and expanded as an acti
on. Furthermore, it is capable of running any onboard AI and services if combine
d with "Brain Implant_1" or "Brain Implant_2". When combined with "Complex" or "
Genetic" AI, can reflexively expand and force the user to enter the suit when it
senses lethal danger (GM decides). Because of the complexity of this form, it i

s considerably larger and usually looks like a helmet, vest, or case.

When collapsed, SZ 25%, MASS 25%
Towing Cable [U] (5)
Grants a retractable cable that allows users to drag objects without using their
limbs. Can also be thrown or fired within 10m, but can't be utilized in combat.
Grapple Shot [U] (10)
Same as "Towing Cable", but has a 30m length and can be used in combat as a [5,2
0] attack versus DC [10, -, -, -] (Targeting modifiers applicable). If the enemy
's Load is currently above their Resilience, the shot hits and reduces their Res
ilience by their Mobility (can't drop below 0), which remains until the target's
Load is below their Resilience on the start of their turn.
LOCOMOTION ------------------While all suits can enter [ROAD], [PLAINS], [INCLINE], and [CITY] terrain (excep
t for the Mermaid scheme), some suits opt for a higher degree of mobility.
Kinetic Servos [U] (10)
You can move and attack with a single action, but you take a -4 range penalty an
d halve your Armor until the start of your next turn.
Wheels [U] (5)
Allows expedited movement across paved ground.
Grants a +1 bonus to Mobility in [ROAD] and [CITY].
Adhesion [U] (10)
Allows movement across any solid surface regardless of gravity so long as the su
rface can hold the extra weight. Excellent at stabilizing weapons and providing
superior firing angles.
Grants a +2 banding bonus and +1 bonus to Mobility in [INCLINE] and [CITY].
Floaters [U] (15)
Hover-based propulsion technology that allows for gliding and frictionless skati
ng via near-surface levitation.
Can enter [NAVAL] terrain. Grants a +1 bonus to Mobility.
Flight [U] (25)
Grants "Floaters" at the same hardening level. Enhances the floaters by adding a
core set of high propulsion thrusters that allow the suit to take off, land, an
d fly at speeds up to Mach 1.
Can enter [AIR] terrain.
Gills [U] (10)
Grants "Environmental Scanning Array" at the same hardening level. Built-in wate
r/oxygen converter removes the air limitation on a suit in bodies of water, allo
wing the user to breathe underwater indefinitely.
Can enter [NAVAL] and [SHALLOW] terrain.
Deep Sea Module [C] (20)
Grants "Gills [C]". Suit is modified to handle the most extreme depths of the se
as, enabling it to explore the depths of the Mariana Trench (and beyond).
Can enter [DEEP] terrain.
Cosmonaut Module [C] (10)
Requires "Flight". Suit is modified to handle the hostile properties of space, e
nabling space travel.
Can enter [SPACE] terrain.

Locomotion Hardening [C] (5)

Hardens one pre-existing locomotion feature, giving it the [H] tag.
DEFENSE ---------------------Some suits expect violence. These upgrades mitigate their damaging aspects.
Armor Plating [U] (5) or [H] (10) or [C] (15)
Adds additional reinforcement by applying plating to connection points on the su
it. This feature can be taken multiple times. Its bonuses stack.
Grants +1 Armor, requires 1 HP
Enhanced Reaction [U] (5) or [H] (10) or [C] (15)
Adds additional vector thrusters or improves limb responsiveness, increasing the
suit's ability to dodge attacks. This feature can be taken multiple times. Its
bonuses stack.
Grants +2 Resilience, doesn't require HPs.
Flares [U] (5)
Fires off a set of blinding flares that make it hard to target the user at the c
ost of concealment.
Requires an action to activate. Imposes a -3 range penalty to attacks directed a
t the user. The user can't benefit from [CONCEALING] features, but this counts a
s a [DISTRACTING] feature. These effects last until the start of the user's next
turn. The suit comes with 3 sets of flares per combat. Taking this feature mult
iple times stacks the number of flares available per combat.
Physical Shield [C] (20)
Grants a deployable, durable shield that not only enhances the user's defense bu
t can also be used to intercept attacks. This shield, like other shields, can be
used to intercept any attack regardless of enemy Armor, but doing so adds the [
IN USE] tag, preventing its use and denying the armor bonus until the user's nex
t turn.
Grants +1 Armor, requires 1 HP
Aegis Shield [C] (30)
Grants an unstoppable, reactive barrier that not only enhances the user's defens
e but also has an active mode that emits a burst of energy designed to neutraliz
e incoming attacks. This shield, like other shields, can be used to intercept an
attack regardless of enemy Armor, but doing so adds the [IN USE] tag, preventin
g its use until the user's next turn. Unlike the "Physical Shield", the armor bo
nus is not lost.
Grants +1 Armor, requires 1 HP
WEAPONRY --------------------Some suits just need to be violent.
>> Key
Range: Determines the RNG value to hit. The first value is for enemies on the sa
me line. Subsequent values denote how many move actions are typically required t
o reach that location (ergo the fourth value is for an attack from one backline
to another backline).
Pressure: A measure of lethality and unavoidability, this determines how much Pr
essure the weapon deals.
Reload: How many turns it takes before the weapon is usable again. To track this
, add a number of [IN USE] tags equal to the reload value and remove [IN USE] ta
gs at the beginning of your turn as normal. If this value has a (shots) section,
the weapon reloads one shot and can store up to the listed number of shots.
Charge: Some weapons need to charge up before firing. Add a [CHARGE] tag each ti

me you spend an action to charge. When there are as many [CHARGE] tags as the ch
arge value, the weapon can fire. Once the weapon fires, remove all [CHARGE] tags
.

TARGETING --------------------

These components indirectly improve a suit's lethality.

Assisted Aim [U] (5)
Gives relative speed and distance of the target, conferring a +3 banding bonus.
Guidance System [U] (10)
Only works with missiles. Provides consistent and updated info on a target's cur
rent position through advanced algorithms, conferring a +5 banding bonus.
Target Lock [U] (15)
Tracks and updates a target's position while adjusting the power armor's stance
to assure optimal chance of hit, conferring a +5 banding bonus.
Full-Range Accurate Motion [U] (15)

, the suit adjusts its limbs and weapons precisely to the desired target, confer
ring a +5 banding bonus and enabling refined movement.
Dedicated Mental Tasking [H] (20)
Requires "Brain Implant_1" or "Brain Implant_2". The user's mental inputs and fa
cilities are tied to the weaponry of the suit, allowing precision normally impos
sible for conventional control. Confers a +10 banding bonus. Cannot be taken wit
h Full-Range Motion, Target Lock, or Assisted Aim.
FINISHING UP ----------------Leave room to add tags for your components - this will be important in play. As
for your stats, you can finalize them as follows:
* Armor: base + bonuses
* Resilience: (2 * Mobility) + bonuses
* Sight: 0 + bonuses
* Stealth: Mobility + bonuses
As for other details:
* Size: base * modifiers
* Mass: base * modifiers
* Strength: base * modifiers
NOTES -----------------------CHANGELIST
"Guerilla" update.
