Burrowing arms per armor basis


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

The Burrowing arms (DC) armor upgrade grants a burrow speed so long as you wear that armor.
But seeing how powered armor functions, if you were to use haste or another movement increasing ability such as the augmented's overclock ability, it would not increase the burrow speed in power armor but would increase it in heavy armor.

But seeing that specifics trump general, I though I would ask.
two characters both with the upgrade, 1 with heavy armor and one with power armor.

heavy : 5+30 for haste= a burrow speed of 35 feet
powered : 5 because power armor speed cannot be adjusted.

is this correct?

All of the hasted creature’s modes of movement (including base, burrow, climb, fly, and swim speeds) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the target’s normal speed using that form of movement.

So in heavy it would only be 10ft. Not sure of the exact reaction with Power armour but I would lean towards the limited 5ft

So it would be:

Heavy: 5+5 = burrow of 10 feet
Powered: 5 because it cannot be adjusted
