Gank Armor

By Falkrunn, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

The Gank race wear a set of personal power armor that they never take off, or so says their write up in Lords of Nal Hutta.

So does this armor have any stats? Is this less like armor and more like a skin they can wear armor over top off? Can you add soak / armor / hardpoints to your existing Gank armor? If its just a flavor description, that's fine. Or do we handle it like a set of Laminate armor that the character can modify?

I realize that the book is new, but just curious about how people are handling this.

Were it me, I would just reskin whatever armor I purchased at character creation. And if I did not get any armor during character creation, I would still just say I was wearing armor (without any mechanic benefit). If you purchase new or better armor, I would then just narrate it as improving my old armor.

Yep, it's just whatever they happen to be wearing just with extra Gankness on it.

Just reskin a set of Padded Armor to say that it's a baseline "no frills" suit of Gank battle armor, providing solid protection (+2 soak) but having no options to upgrade/modify the armor.

:unsure: If they never take it off, they will need at least 1 HP for the "Fremen Recycling System" attachment.

We've discovered at least why they're so lethal.

They're a walking biohazard that smells somewhere between a student bathroom and a 20 year old, untreated yeast infection

Just add the word Gank in front of any armour stats and voila, Gank armour.

So, now we know where the “ank” in Gank comes from — the word “stank”. :lol:

So, where does the “G” come from? Godawful? :D
