Jedi+armor

[Kehlin Yew]

If a jedi was wearing stormtrooper armor, would he/she be able to disreguard the dex penalty?

[Jamfke]

Perhaps if they used enhanced reflexes or something?

[Kehlin Yew]

but then would you give them MAPs?

[Argamoth]

No, it takes getting used to the armor to ignore the penalty. Enhance attribute may null it for a few rounds, but they shouldn't be able to ignore it untill they've worn it as long as a vertran.

[Kehlin Yew]

ahh ok, i see...

[garhkal]

Trying to remember the book it was in, but there were rules for buying off dex penalties. Costs both cp and credits. I think it was 3cp per pip +1 per die. So 1d would be 3 pips at 3, plus 1 for a total of 4 per pip.. And i think it was 100 credits per cp spent. One pip buy off per month (in game time).

Chello!

If you concider that all clones are strictly identical, the clone armor had been design to suit perferctly Jango and all clone have trained harder with the armor. I would say YES.

Remember clone means same genotype (twins are natural clones), not exaclty same body. Now it's true that in SW all clones seems physically identical.

But barring any developmental circumstances, Phalanks, the same genotype does mean the same body, as the genotype regulates development.

Now, while twins are clones, they usually have radically different life experiences, and thus have bodily differences (scars, blemishes, etc.) because of this. A clone-vat clone, however, has almost the exact same experiences as any other clone in the vat, and can thus be argued to have a similar enough body for suitable mass production.

Thus, the clonetroopers (even though I deny their existence) would be able to fit into any suit of armor made for them without penalties, as their bodies would be identical. Essentially, I'm agreeing with you in a much longer explanation.

[Kehlin Yew]

If you aren't a clone trooper, how would you personally customize your armor to get the best protection, and the best agility.

[Endwyn]

The same way you customize anything else, pay big $$ for a custom fitting and purchase.

If you know enough about armor, and it is adjustable you can eventually make most of the adjustments yourself.

I'm not sure what your hobbies are, but I'm into backpacking. Some backpacks (the high end ones) are custom fit at purchase. An expert measures you and makes adjustments to the pack for you. Other packs, most packs, you just buy them and you have to make adjustments yourself. Most come with a guide to help you make adjustments, but most of the adjustments you make are done through trial and error. You set it up, hike, make adjustments, and evaluate. Through more trial and error you eventually get it where you want it. After more experience you become really good at being able to make the adjustments really close to a custom fit on the first try. That kind of abilty only comes from really knowing, understanding, and having felt what eachh measurement does and is like when adjusted correctly and incorrectly. (I once hiked 15 miles knowing something was wrong, that the pack was adjusted incorrectly. I tried to find it, but couldn't. Only after finishing the hike did I see the problem, one I knew how to fix but only now know how to spot...I won't forget how it feels...like metal driving into your back.)

To answer the original question : Can a jedi disregard the dext penality of an armor ?
YES if s/he spends CP and modify the armor else NO.
