Force Soles and Power Armor


Rules Questions

How exactly do Force Soles interact with Powered Armor? My next tier of flying Powered Armor would make my character's size Huge. Playing a Large character is already unwieldy and just an unnecessary hassle in Society Scenarios. However, he requires the extra mobility given to him by a flight speed. Can I use Force Soles Mk II while inside Powered Armor? Or should I just get used to the idea of becoming Chungus Maximus? Do scenarios even support Huge+ characters?

Because powered armor movement replaces character movement modes when worn, force soles don't interact with powered armor. The character can use force soles when not in their powered armor or use whatever movement statistics their powered armor grants when wearing it. Similar to a strix wearing powered armor not being able to fly unless the powered armor itself has a flight speed or not gaining increased land speed in powered armor from a speed suspension augmentation.

It's one of the drawbacks of wearing powered armor.

Force souls are the ONLY way to fly in power armor. They do nothing to your movement, just allow you to stand on air. They're great!

Force soles are not a movement type or a change to your speed, so they're one of the few ways for pcs to do things while in powered armor.
