NE-C16: Light Camouflage Variable Armour

By: Dustin M. Ramsey (DustinM@rifts-rpg.com)
Based on Concepts and Game Design by: Kevin Siembieda and Palladium Books (http://www.palladiumbooks.com)


This is an ultra-light version of the NE-C20 suit of combat armour. It is equipped with a fiber-optic material that can change colour to match the general environment. The colour change takes 1D4 melees (15 to 60 seconds), in which the suit becomes the exact same colour as the predominant one in the area, thus making the wearer difficult to spot: -20% for others to detect ambush and detect concealment, +10% to the wearer's prowl skill, and even characters without prowl have a 45% chance of not being seen if they stay undercover and do not move.

The suit also masks infrared and thermal emissions, making the wearer's heat invisible to infrared and thermal optics! There is only a 21% chance of showing up on thermal systems and even then the reading/image will seem unusual.

The suit's light weight, improved mobility over its heavier cousin, and camouflage systems make it exceptionally popular with scouts, spies, and all others who value stealth over all else.
