Heavy armor in Scum & Villainy? (Better! lol)

1. I don’t recognize that ability name, but no. Everybody has Heavy Armor on their item list.

2. Searched both the Sheets and the Book pdfs and don’t see that ability anywhere. A Medium load is enough to carry Heavy Armor (2 boxes for Armor, 3 boxes for +Heavy, pg 88)

3. Oops! I forgot to put in that it’s Scum & Villainy. Apologies!

4. Ben Liepis As far as S&V reads, I’d say yes. Or at least that may be the intent. Heavy armour is not an option on the inventory list and the ability just gives it to you, it doesn’t require any extra load or anything. Looks like the ability just upgrades general armour to heavy armour, and otherwise heavy armour isn’t a thing.

5. Adrian Wills, thanks! That’s a pretty interesting way of handling it and it makes that ability very enticing.

6. That is correct (at the moment). Mechanically most people want heavy armor for the resists, but in space opera most dashing scoundrels run around in little more than a robe or a nice jacket.

   So the availability of heavy armor is pretty limited. Even regular armor is akin to stormtrooper gear (full body stuff).

7. Stras Acimovic, I dig it! Great reasoning.
