Definition of Grav Belt?

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

Suns of Fortune, Page 101, Table 3-4 lists a Gravity Belt under Tools after Anti-Gravity Chute and EVA Powersuit. Suns of Fortune, Page 103 lists item descriptions for Anti-Gravity Chute and EVA Powersuit and the page ends. Next page (104) starts a new section (Corellian Vehicles and Starships).

Where is the item description for the Gravity Belt?

Thank you in advance for your insight!

IIRC, it was supposedly a typo and should have been removed from the list.

However, I worked up something for it that doesn't remove the need/use of a grav chute. Posted to the boards a while back, but re-posted for convenience. Use if you like.

Grav Belt

This belt, though difficult to master, can be the deciding factor between life and death in a fall. Fitted with micro repulsorfield generators, gravimetric sensors and micro-adjustment controls it lessens the impact of a fall to any wearer capable of manipulating the controls. A truly skilled wearer can even fall from a great height and receive little or no injuries at all.

Characters wearing a grav belt automatically reduce the falling damage and effect by half (round up) if they are conscious and able to move. Characters may attempt to reduce the range band fallen by succeeding at a Hard ( ddd ) Piloting Planetary roll. Success reduces the range band fallen by 1 (Long to Medium, etc.), to a minimum of 0. The distance fallen may be further reduced by 1 additional range band for every ss on the piloting roll.

Yes, the gravity belt originally appeared in Fantastic Tech back in the WEG days. It was essentially identical to the grav-chute.

Shh! The first rule of Grav Belt Club is that you do not talk about the Grav Belt.
