Has anything been said on power armor yet?


General Discussion


I don't think there has from what I've seen. Just thinking if it would have its own hp its own str score etc. or if it would just give bonuses.


Haven't seen anything either
but an additional hp pool would make sense, ot it could just give a certain ammount of armor
on the other hand is a strength bonus on thing a power armor does not neccessary need
it could be a weapon platform, have several gadgets, the strength bonus...thera are lots of options

and then comes the question if you fit powered exo-skeletons and similar stuff under power'Armor'


Yeah I figured the powered armor would have motors and such to move the heavy pieces so it would have its own strength score. I could see it both ways really igther a bonus or its own score.


probably has its own phsycal stats and bunch of military grade modification slots for any type of loadout


it sounds like just about any armor can meet the basic requirements of "self contained armor with onboard enhancement sensors." keep in mind that even starting gear seems to be able to seal off and be enviromentally sealed for 24 hours. It may not be exactly what everyone thinks of as true power armor but technically i think that would count. That being said, i would really like to see something that has onboard sensors, enhances movement and strength and possibly assists with targeting. Providing a hardness score would also be pretty sweet.


Nearly positive power armor was mentioned as being in at launch in the Ask Questions... thread. My search skills are failing me but I am nearly 100%
sure they said that power armor would be in.

Edit: In fact someone reported fighting against an 'ogre wearing power armor' at the Paizocon game preview.


There have been mentions of power armor almost from the get go in all kinds of interview. the whole holy plasma canons and power armor comment was one of the very first ones they made i believe. the problem that comes in is that there is no one definition of what power armor is. it could just be that the full plate stand in is called power armor. or that there is a power armor that increases strength or dexterity by a point and that is it. its nice to imagine that power armor gives big bonuses to strength and grants a hardness rating and this, that and the other but technically you could get away with calling just about any space armor as power armor.


My guess is armor storm soldiers get the most out of power armor, which is probably a full plate similarity, but with extra stuff.
