Hi,
I just joined this group, and it looks cool. I have my first question for anyone that can help, since I didn't find it in any source. Can you modify the protection value of combat jumpsuits, half-vests, and blast vests using the same rules in the Star Wars RPG:Second Edition rules? |

Hi therritn, welcome to the forums! We always played that you could modify them the same as any other armor.

Welcome to the Rancor Pit.
And yes, any armour can be modified. Just ask the players to come up with a good explanation as to how they're being modified.

Hey there! Welcome!
Agree with the above posters, but you might want to consider adding a drawback to the armor if it is being upgraded. (Can anyone say Dexterity penalty?)
To be fair, perhaps your armorsmith should make two rolls. One to actually increase the protection value of the armor, and a second to make sure the jumpsuit is still 'custom-fit' to the individual.

What about a protection penalty? A Dexterity penalty seems fairly obvious as something one may want to add so as to make the armor not all powerful. But what about if you have a already great set of armor, but it's not all that flexible so you face a Dexterity penalty in using it? Perhaps you decide to do something to make it more flexible and thus loose the Dexterity penalty. But in doing so maybe the portection value of the armor drops.

That's kind of counter-productive.
It would be much more cost effective, and less work to just start with the lighter armor that has no dex penalties.
