Yeah, not sure how I'd turn it into a general house rule, but anything less than 25XP (owing to its usual tree placement) seems OP.
The same is true for dedication, though. But when the average starting value is 2 for a characteristic, that's actually a discount on the 30XP you'd spend at character creation. Of course then there's escalating cost of accessing new specializations. Suffice it to say, buying up FR at character creation would be a bit of a mess.
In the earliest material for Fett, he wasn't even a Mandalorian himself, but was rather someone that took inspiration from their look and modeled his armor in that particular style. It was only much later that he was actually made a Mandalorian instead of a guy wearing Mandalorian-themed armor, and even then his armor wasn't noted as being made of any special materials.
Those were all EU elements, so as far as the current canon goes, Fett's back to just being a bounty hunter wearing Mandalorian-styled armor that's been packed with extra gadgets.
Seeing as The Clone Wars is now canon though, whatever they went into about the Fetts in TCW would still apply here as far as current canon.

Which wasn't a whole lot. I checked the Canon portion of Boba Fett's article on Wookieepedia. The only thing Mandalorian about him in the revised canon is the armor he wears.
Though I'm sure it won't be long before a Fandalorian gets the chance to re-introduce some of the Mando elements that the EU added to the character over the years.
Then the fans can fiercely vet Fett's mondo Mando moments.
She's got the antenna thing that looks like it, but since I can't remember actually seeing her use it yet I didn't want to assume...Sabine also has the flip down vision enhancement on her helmet that Captain Rex had in The Clone Wars series.Armored clothing is concealable though.My viewpoint is there are various styles of Mando Armor. I would guess Sabine's is Probably Armored Clothing. The Fetts probably have Heavy battle armor. And there are likely other styles. There will probably be a mando steel attachment in the bounty hunter book as well as rockets, Jet boots etc.
I waiting to see a few more things before making a solid call on Sabine's kit. Offhand I want to give it stats roughly on par with padded armor (all we've seen it use so far is a built in comlink, which doesn't require a HP), but something that was said in a preview has me... cautious. While all she's got now is a shorty vest, helmet, and knee/elbow pads, it was mentioned in a preview that as the series went on she'd get more armor components and her armor would fill out to become more like what we've seen with other mandos...
Stat-wise it brings up some neat ideas of having partial armor that starts as just +2 soak, and as pieces are added it gains HP and Defenses....
EDIT: ok, rewatched the episode and Sabine did not use the vision aid on her helmet.

A jedi with mandalorian armor? Why not make him a sith smuggler aswell and name him Darth Solo, or Starkiller or something ubercool? What kind of twelve year old's fanfic character idea is this anywa- ah f*** it, I'll allow it!
One thing is If I were the GM I would want some kind of story. and have it be something beyond I want it because its cool.
I think she uses it in the next episode but I'm not sure. I'll have to rewatch it tonight and clear it up.She's got the antenna thing that looks like it, but since I can't remember actually seeing her use it yet I didn't want to assume...Sabine also has the flip down vision enhancement on her helmet that Captain Rex had in The Clone Wars series.Armored clothing is concealable though.My viewpoint is there are various styles of Mando Armor.

Ok, the new episode "Breaking Ranks" is up on the Disney XD website and the antenna thing is a vision aid. My best guess it's equivalent to Macrobinoculars in game and would take up 0 HP, due to it's size and where it's mounted, like the helmet comm unit.
Also the episode gives a look into how teenagers are being trained to be Stormtroopers.
Edited by zathras23I haven't read through this thread, I'm just commenting because when I read the subject line I thought it said Mandalorian armor for Jabbas, which takes this subject down a whole different path.

Boba the Hutt
I like it!
we will have stats for hutts soon....could be a thing.
Jabba the Hutt*: "I told you I wanted Solo and the Wookie! Now I got one dead Rodian and no smuggler and no wookie! Do I have to do everything myself? You're all fired! Now feed my dancing girl to the rancor and bring me my mandalorian armor! If you want to do something right, you gotta do it yourself! Bah, a crimeboss' work is never done!"
