 |
|
Based on the last page of this thread i was wondering what sort of times you all use for donning (Putting on) and Doffing (taking off) armor?
Could someone put on a combat jumpsuit in one round?? A suit of power armor?? IS it more like a minute??

I'm thinking decide how easy the armor should be to take on or off, equivalent to the basic difficulty levels, with associated Time-To-Use so that difficulty ramps up the faster you try to put it on.
Putting on an armored vest = Easy (2 rounds), Moderate (1 round).

| I'd say that's fair - 1 round per piece for anything that straps on, buckles, fastens, or is a multi-part action (like slipping on a full-length flight suit). Increase DEX difficulty if they try to do it faster. Things like putting on a helmet or tossing on a snap-on shield are simply MAP actions. |

But would it be a base Dex or Tech roll, or an actual skill roll (such as say Armor repair that someone was mentioning in that other thread)?
If its just a base Attribute roll, does it kick in for MAPS (ie i am being shot at, so i dodge once, and run once to cover, while trying to strap on my blast vest, is that 3 or 2 actions??_

Dexterity. Armor Repair is about diagnosing damage to armor and returning it to working condition. You don't need that to unlatch a breastplate.

Yes; a standard action with MAPs applied normally.
