• Power armor covers the entire body.
• Internal display of armor status, sensor data, operator health, and accessory status.
• Incorporates an encrypted (–4) tactical radio with 5km range.
• Tier 3 IDS; can upgrade to Tier 5 (customer supplied).
• Hydrogen power cells provide up to 36 hours of continuous operation.
• Self-contained environment protects from airborne pathogens, gases, bacteria, and virtually all
biological or chemical warfare. Provides heating, cooling, and breathable air while powered.
Suffering one or more Wounds causes a breach, significantly impairing this protection.
• Unarmed attacks deal Str+d4 damage and are Heavy Weapons.
• Even the most basic version is considered Restricted. Most versions are considered Military,
including any models with Weapons or additional Armor modifications.

Light Power Armor: Typically configured for scouting or reconnaissance, light power armor is also
popular heavy support for security forces. A minority of designers favor using light power armor as high-
mobility and high-impact strike units.
Medium Power Armor: The versatile standard size of power armor, medium is large enough to
accommodate nearly all of humanity. Medium suits are task focused, able to hold enough systems for
any single purpose but not enough for every purpose.

Parenthesis after the name indicate the maximum number of times a specific modification can be
applied, if more than once; U can be taken an unlimited number of times. The effects of a modification
follow the name.
The Mod Slots column indicates how many Mod Slots a modification uses, per application if the
modification can be applied more than once. Some modifications use a number of slots based upon the
Size of the power armor frame.

Example
Act of God Armaments was approached to provide a heavy suit for dealing with bio-horrors. The R&D
team came up with the Minister power armor.
Starting with a Medium armor frame, they added two underarm weapon mounts for flame projectors,
the heaviest available armor, night vision, one hard point, a shrapnel pack, and two Strength systems.
That uses (2 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 =) 8 of the eight available Mod Slots.
