Droid vs. Ion

By Old Stormtrooper, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

What are the defenses a droid can use against Ion weapons? Seems odd having IG-88 taken out by a Jawa!

Shoot first.

High strain?

I seem to recall that IG-88 did indeed get taken out by an ion cannon.

If your GM allows it you can also go for the armour attachment in Keeping the Peace that protects power armour against being disabled by ion weapons. Or you could kinda-sorta houserule that the armour attachment that increases your soak against stun damage could conceivably work against ion damage instead if you're a droid.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a "Hardened Circuits" Cybernetic implant in the Tech source book, its kind of a hole that needs filling.

Cortosis.

Dress in a gorilla suit?

Don´t get shot in the first place!?

Otherwise there isn´t anything particular against ION-Damage.

Gorilla suit? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against gorilla suits, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit. . . .

You wouldn't shoot a gorilla wearing glasses would you? With an ion weapon?

At the very least, you could honestly say it's a nice monkey suit before pulling the trigger :D
