Physical Descriptions of Powered Armor ? A personal question to those with the pdf.


General Discussion


Could anyone describe what the size or appearance of powered armor is like in Starfinder based on what is in the book?

How tall are you while wearing it?

What should we be expecting bulk wise?

Will we need to remove it to move well indoors?

Edit:I'm just trying to get a mental image.

They don't really speak to much about size or appearance of powered armor.

From what I see, powered armor is used to augment the user so don't really add to the over size of the character. It is not like Battletech.

It does reference bulk but that only comes into play when the suit is picked up or carried. It does not impact the characters normal carrying capacity.

There are rules to remove it yes. but it is not overly large so there may not be a need to remove it to go inside.

Thank you for the info, I knew they weren't mech sized but I didn't know if they were Rifts Glitterboy sized, Or powered armor from Fallout sized, Or Mjolnir powered armor sized etc.

Edit: What is the avg bulk number?

Powered Armor has size listings. Basic Power Armor is size medium, the cargo loader(think aliens), the jarlslayer, and the spider harness are size large, and there is a huge flight suit.
