I did a search and flipped through my books but I could not find anything about this. Not sure if I am just overlooking it or not. Is it possible to attach a weapon to armour? For example, attaching a flamethrower to the arm or a small rocket launcher on your shoulder? I enjoyed playing my Bounty Hunter character in SW:ToR and I was curious if it is possible to recreate my character's armour and abilities.

There is an armour attachment in Dangerous Covenants that can mount a weapon on armour. I think the weapon can have a max encumbrance of 4, but double check. I don't have the book with me right now.

Dangerous Covenants , page 53, is the hands-free weapon system. 2 HP from the armor and 1 HP from the weapon (Ranged [Light] or Ranged [Heavy] only, max Encumbrance of 4). No modification options. 1k CR.

It's more War Machine's gatling gun than his integrated SMG in the arm. It allows for hands-free use, but still requires an action to shoot.

Sure, just run it as the Wrist Mount attachment (also from Dangerous Covenants, I believe) and narrate it as being fastened to the armour like Boba Fett's wrist laser.

There aren't rules for that sort of thing at the moment, but if you're wanting to do it just for the rule of cool then talk to your GM. Personally, I don't see a difference between a blaster you need a maneuver to draw from its holster vs a blaster built in to your armor which takes a maneuver to deploy. The rocket launcher is a little more of a stretch. For the regular character, you'd need a maneuver to draw it and a maneuver to spend on Prepare 1 with it also taking 1 or 2 hands. If it was built in then it might be awkward to bring to bear (like Boba/Jango's being on their backs), which would require maneuvers and hands to crouch/steady it.

I like your thought process on that, but Jango and Boba had jet packs on their backs not rocket launchers.

The "pole" sticking out the top was the rocket, IIRC.

0:30 shows him launching it.

Wow, I missed that, guess all the jet packs in the rules have rockets since they match the look, just need to stat the rocket out.

Or that is the only example of a jet pack that we have from the movies, so it tends to be reused just as an example of what one might look like.

I was being a smartass, I did not remember that from the movie, so I was referring to the book showing the same jet pack (at least in looks) to both of Boba, and Jango's jet pack but not having the capabilities shown. I also don't believe there is an example of Boba's having the rocket even in legends.

I agree that it is possible to strap a rocket to your back and use it, although I would make it an awkward thing to use along with adding enc to the jet pack (which doesn't have hard points yet).

Stat it out and bring it to your GM and see what he says.

I missed that one since it's listed as a weapon attachment, not armour.

Wrist Mount: 2HP, 250CR, no mod options. Allows you to use your hands without interference.

Actually his is also a rocket, there are plenty of action figures that have boba back launchers as well as the premise that boba is reusing his father's jetpack (thus the blue on the jetpack but no where else on boba) but not really the point of this thread ;-)

Actually, I had the original Boba 12" figure from the 70s, which is the only one that I know of that might have been a rocket. It had a string on it you connected across the room, pulled the other end and Boba "flew" across the room as in jet pack. The colors on the jet pack are not blue but Boba green. Nothing in EU/legends state he ever used a rocket or that it was his father's. The armor yes, equipment, no.

Like I said, which follows this thread, stat it out, give it to your GM and see what he says.

Boba's jet pack is blue! You are probably confused because he has a green jetpack in empire for a few shots but in all costuming resources he is displayed with his return of the jedi jetpack which is beautiful blue

as for him getting it from his father, you are probably right. Jango has 2 jetpacks he uses but the one we see him wear first is here.

Check out those wonderful colors that match the one boba wears. however we see this jet pack get mostly destroyed in his duel with obi wan kenobi, necessitating him getting out his back up jetpack. so perhaps he doesn't wear the exact jetpack as his father, but they are the exact same brand and color meaning the missile system clearly works as we saw Jango use it on obi wan.

the more you know.

You are right, the 12" figure does have a blue jet pack. The other toys were never sold with detachable rockets as shown in your pic due to kids choking on them, if someone has one they are lucky indeed, I was around when another toy (Battlestar Galactica) came out with a viper and a cylon raider that shot missle just before Boba did (the 4 inch figure was a special order you earned with proof of purchase tokens in which I had)and wer recalled for chocking hazards So Kenner made the red "rocket" unusable. Plus the toys are NOT canon.

Still no proof of Boba having a rocket. Plus the EotE book does not show the pack as having a rocket.

"Still no proof of Boba having a rocket."

Boba has a rocket, if you fail to see it I can't help you beyond pointing out all the sources. If you have a source that refutes mine by all means, but the EOTE book lacking a missile description for the jetpack is not evidence that overturns these points, all it means is the basic model doesn't have it and as both wiki sources say they modified it (which is a standard modification as we see the death watch use missiles in the clone wars, another Canon source).

I felt I adequately proved that it is the same jetpack model Jango used against Obi-wan
1. That Jango's clearly has a missile and it works,
2. Boba clearly has the same jetpack as Jango
3. There are other boba toys with rockets (with the only counter point being yourself as a source)

4. you changing the argument to being about canon is a red herring argument as this was never the point being made, however nothing is "canon" anymore besides the films, clone wars, rebels, and the new books but see point 1 & 2 because Jango IS canon as are the death watch mandos.
5. since You reference the EU yourself, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jetpack " Another popular model of jetpack was the Mitrinomon Transports Z-6 jetpack , used by both Jango and Boba Fett . Boba's jet pack was a combination of a rocket launcher, and a jumper pack."

OK, OK...you got me, see what the model for the jet pack is in the book.

Still doesn't change RAW, RAW for the Jet Pack is no hard points no rockets. See pg 181 EotE and the ONLY model listed is..."Models Include: Mitrinomon Z-6 Jet Pack" which means, WITH GM APPROVAL, case closed.

Like I said in previous posts on this thread, GM's call if you stat it out and can convince them.

BTW: you really shouldn't use bold like that cause it turns people off because you are yelling and pointing fingers even when they make a mistake.

Most likely the one with the rocket will be in the Bounty hunter book. If I were a betting man. The one Jango wore in the arena is likely the model we see in the core book.

Well there was no attempt to "turn you on" ;-) but the bold was due to the copied text from the website I couldn't seem to get to change.. same with the indentation. So sorry you felt you were being yelled at.
