I know its been quite some time since I was active. Typing is still a b1tch with my left hand jacked up from the table saw accident May-2-2023, but I still try to get a few things done. Just a literal pain to post. Hopefully this is something people can use and perhaps discuss. As always please comment and make suggestions.
| Quote: | CX TROOPERS
Clone assassins, also designated as Clone X troopers or CX troopers, are specialized clone troopers conditioned by the Advanced Science Division of the Galactic Empire as products of Chief Scientist Royce Hemlock's "Deep Undercover" program and served as assassins and clone commandos. During the process, their identities are erased and undergo special conditioning to be fanatically loyal to the Empire. The conditioned soldiers serve as special operatives organized under a classified division.
During operations, Clone X troopers are equipped with black military armor that contains communications devices on the helmets, and typically have a rangefinder attached. Additionally, a control panel brace is often added for direct control to their CX Dagger vessels. Clone X troopers are provided with a sniper rifle, RK-3 blaster, and a backpack attached to their armor. Suicide shockers are provided to Clone X troopers to avoid imprisonment, as well as a homing device that can avoid most scans and remain active while the commando remains alive.

Like it.
If the armor is +1D on damage - needs to be stated physical or energy.
Both with no dex penalty - would be a bit OP - unless there was some exceptional backstory behind them (or an amor self destruct as well).
This would be a bit powerful in the hands of players (armor that has +1D energy but no dex pen).
Overall however, like the writeup.

Good point on the armor. IMO it should have some thing in it, for these assassins to trip, to destroy / ruin the armor, if they're about to be captured...

Thank you.

Its both which is why it was not denoted as one or the other, but generically as damage

I could see dropping the armor protection to +2 damage without a DEX penalty. As for the armor and PCs. In new canon all stormtrooper armor is keyed to the wearer or a code, without that code none of the suits extra capabilities work. In the case of stormtrooper armor the MFTS does not operate, the auto-dimming, night vision, communication, etc do not function. Also, running around in trooper armor, especially CX armor will draw a ton of attention.

a +1D armor with no dex penalty is not at all unheard of. This can easily be an early commando armor type. The stormcommando armor as I belive is a +1D armor with no DEX penalty at all. So that part I do feel is a good match.
I am unsure on the interal systems though, and pehaps most features and possible changes would go. maybe a MFTAS system or otherwise. |

I think an important note, and I brought this up before in regards to rare or high value armors, is that the armor is not so easily salvaged. More than likely armors with No Dex penalty are custom fitted, and just because a player group defeats an enemy in such armor does not mean it is usable by the PCs in the group. More importantly, using RAW, the armor is likely damaged or destroyed in the process of defeating the opponent. Either way, the players may have to expend time and money on refurbishing or repairing said armor to make it usable and wearable - and likely if they do not have the skills themselves this becomes even more difficult. Imagine the sorts of questions that would be asked showing up with such a rare item of imperial tech even to a black market fixer? Lots of possible story and adventure ideas just for salvaging the armor. There is so much more I could say.
Needless to say, I do not feel it is OP if used in appropriate situations. Especially since this is likely not meant to be an early adversary for a starting group.

All these are points I was going to point out but again, the hand makes long-winded replies ... less likely unless I feel very strongly about the subjects. Thanks for posting these points.

Assuming folks actually USE that rule, where the armor gets damaged every time the pc gets wounded (Or imps/npcs). I've known far too many who DON'T use it.. Just like all those who refuse to use ITEM Saving throws in ADND games, because they don't want their players to lose gear/loot..

I'm sure you could pull armor like this off some dude and it's all good.

I've had it for some time the DEX -x penalties are for those unaccustomed to the armor, the penalty being reduced or eliminated for those who are trained using it.
I'd probably treat it as +1D vs. physical & energy like the Clone Armor in the D6 Conversion to the campaign guide, with the -1D penalty for the untrained.
