The fighting style says:
You gain the Powered Armored Proficiency feat and access to improved armor. This might be the result of your own engineering abilities, having earned the trust of contacts that can get you experimental equipment, or a powerful patron giving you gear not available to the general public to help you achieve mutual goals. You can add one more upgrade to your armor than its normal maximum number of upgrade slots. If you add this bonus upgrade to heavy armor, you can select an upgrade normally limited to powered armor. An upgrade placed in this bonus slot costs half the normal credit amount.
Question:
1) If i have more then one armor, only one can benefit from this bonus slot?
2) How do i instal the bonus slot? does it take time? What are the requirements to make those modifications?
3) What happens if the armor is destroyed, can i make another armor with the same bonus slot or do i loose the bonus forever?
4) What if the armor is stolen or another player is equipped with your armor, the npc or player using the armor has its benefits?
5) About the price, FAQ says that if the slot with half price is moved to another slot the other half of the cost must be payed but, can i remove the half priced out of the armor then buy/craft another half price upgrade? Since i can sell it for 10% of the 1/2price, removal is not the problem.


1. I've never really thought about it, since my armor storm PC isn't level 5 yet, but it would seem that any armor that is yours gets a bonus slot.
2. You don't install slots. They're part of the armor.
3. See 1.
4. Yes, but they probably wouldn't get the price break if they put a new upgrade into that slot.
5. The way I would do it is, if you remove the upgrade and just kind of put it in your backpack for later use, I'd make you pay the price difference. If you're just removing it to sell or junk, then I wouldn't make you pay the upgrade, since you're not going to put it into a different slot at that point.


1) I believe all armor you acquire has this possibility. It seems more like you have access to a supplier or have some intrinsic know how giving you access to better versions of standard armor

2) I believe you simply do what you would normally do for an armor upgrade. The slot is already there from when the armor was made, you simply are installing an extra upgrade slot.

3) Same answer as 1.

4) IDK, there could be a case of allowing someone else to wear that armor and get the benefit, or that they cannot use the additional upgrade. I'd say they can use the extra benefit, as it can be quite expensive fully equipping armor as is, let alone adding an additional armor upgrade.

5) If I understand your question, your asking about changing the upgrade placed in that armor slot? I believe you can, and it still costs half the normal price.

These are all based on how I interpret the ability, and the assumption that the upgrade slot exists in the armor, rather than an attachment that moves from armor to armor.

4: Personally I would rule no.
It's custom tailored armor for the Armor Storm, and the other person wanting to use it has to adjust it which removes the extra slot.

5) You can build as many half price upgrades as you want, but they only fit in that one slot, and nobody (except MAYBE another Armor Storm soldier of 5th level or higher) can use them. Thus, you could theoretically be able to swap out cheaper upgrades, but you can't use more than one cheap upgrade at a time.
