Need a D6 Stat conversion for Smuggler's Trenchcoat

[Sutehp]

I came across something that could be very useful for a smuggler-type character: The Smuggler's Trenchcoat, from the Star Wars FFG "Fly Casual" book. I'm hoping someone can give me a rough D6 stats conversion for it as it would be awesome for a "freelance entrepeneur" character I'm designing (just for s*** and giggles, alas; I'd love to find a D6 Star Wars group here in DC).

Here's the writeup from Fly Casual for this item:

SMUGGLER'S TRENCHCOAT
"Every smuggler gets searched; that part of the job is inevitable. Some smugglers, however, take the tact that if they simply have enough hidden compartments, at least a few will inevitably go unsearched. The smuggler’s trenchcoat addresses this strategy, and is covered with pockets, minor compartments, and pouches within pouches to confound any search.
Checks made to find anything hidden within a smuggler’s trenchcoat while it is being worn are opposed by the Skulduggery of the wearer. The coat can conceal up to 2 encumbrance worth of items."

Ok, yeah, I wanna make my smuggler look like Malcolm Reynolds. No, it's not original at all. Yes, it's still awesome. 8)

Hmmm...

I would say that it adds adds 1D to attempts to Hide objects on one's person, or a +2 for things that aren't properly hidden. I'd say the general sort of search of a person would be Easy to Moderate (easy if looking specifically for weapons, moderate if you're looking for "anything illegal").

I would say..

Smugglers trenchcoat
Availavility 2R
Cost 750cr

This coat is favored by smugglers due to having numerous hidden sewed in pockets, flaps and other stuff to hide things easier.
For objects of around 6 inches in size, it adds 1d to the wearer's hide skill in resisting opponents searches (Physical, not via sensors).
For objects between 2 and 6 inches, it adds 1d+2 to the hide roll, and
anything smaller than 2 inches gains 2d+1 to the hide roll.
They can also be made with a special pistol size holder (most standard blaster pistols, but NOT renegade or thuderer size heavy) which add 1d to hiding those, at a 200 credit increase..

I have taken about five months off from creating stuff because of some health issues earlier in the year, but before that I was working on converting FFG stuff to D6. I remember the Smuggler's Trenchcoat from Fly Casual. Just so happens I have that converted already, so here is what I have, which is in no way the final word on anything converted. Its just my spin on it.

Smuggler’s Trenchcoat

Game Notes: Checks made to find anything hidden within a smuggler’s trenchcoat while it is being worn are opposed receiving a +2D modifier to Hide. The coat can conceal up to 2 kilogram of items.

Thanks, guys. I wasn't expecting so many replies so quickly. And a hat tip to Shootingwomprats for the writeup. I don't know how much of what's in the Star Wars FFG books that's actually new, but it seems that this was one thing/idea that was never statted in any of the D6 books. I don't like the FFG system but at least the fluff in them is illuminating. Great stuff for story or character ideas, if nothing else.

I think the price of the coat will vary depending on the material used to make it.

A Smuggler's Trenchcoat with a nice Bothan fur lining will be more expensive than one made from Gamorrian leather.

I would put Smuggler's Trenchcoats which are simply multi-pocketed and hidden-pocketed garments about twice the price of a regular trenchcoat, mainly because the technology needed is still just fabric and a sewing needle. But if you want them to have anything except deceptive pocketry, such as shielding from scans or any other bells and whistles, the price would obviously be higher.

If I were to use this in my games, the simplest Smuggler's Trenchcoat would probably cost the character around 100 credits and would provide a +2D bonus to Hide when hiding items within it, just like shootingwomprats wrote.

In my own notes, I made the cost to be "100-350 credits varying as per textile material" as the price will change depending on how exotic/expensive the material that the coat is made of. Like say, Zerka fabric. (See what I did there? I snuck a Babylon 5 reference into a Star Wars website!

...I'll let myself out.)

I'll have my smuggler coat made out of Shadowsilk.
