Machanic Androids and shields


Rules Questions


So the energy shield states that it can only have one per armor as the armor can only support one and can be put into any armor.

Androids gain A single armor mod slot as a race bonus, and an exocortex mechanic cAn gvain another At lvl 7, giving them to body slots.

Can i slot an additional shield in his body?

how will the shields interact?


1 force field per PC.

I think at best, you can only have 1 active at a time. Turning on a second would have bad results, like blows your CPU and you die.

They'd probably have safety systems, so if you already have one activated, it won't let you activate a second.

For most things, the intent is to only allow one bonus of each type. If the force field provided an armour bonus, it wouldn't stack. Since it doesn't, it's a little murkier, but I think you can assume the same design philosophy.

The other thing you need to consider is that while the Android/exocortex aren't a suit of armour, they would be considered one for the purposes of determining what you can do with the armour slots.
