Exocortex - Combat Tracking - Heavy Armor REQs


Advice


Exocortex:

Combat tracking
Your exocortex provides you with enhanced combat ability, granting you proficiency with heavy armor and longarms.

In regards to heavy armor proficiency, does this bypass the STR 13 requirement? Or simply, can an Ysoki with a STR of 8 still be able to wear heavy armor?

Hmm my understanding is specific trumps generalAnd would not need to meet the prerequisites. Soliders, for example, are proficient with heavy armor but not all soldiers will have the 13 strength.


The feat called Heavy Armor Proficiency requires 13 strength, yes, but the Exocortex does not grant the Heavy Armor Proficiency feat. It grants proficiency directly. There's no mechanical reason the restriction would still be in place, since the feat and its prerequisites are not part of the proficiency, but merely one way of acquiring it.

Yep. Proficiency is it's own thing. Feats can grant it just as Skill Focus can grant an Insight bonus to a skill...but Classes can also grant both Proficiencies and Insight Bonuses to skills, without any reference being made to the Feats and certainly without meeting their prerequisites.


Awesome! thanks!!!
