In technologically advanced settings, it is common for militaries to provide their soldiers with comprehensive and multipurpose armor, which can not only protect them but aid them in battle as well. These suits of Power Armor function in a manner similar to an astral suit. An aegis or character who possesses the Craft Technological Arms and Armor feat and access to a garage or military lab can craft a suit of power armor, which mimics an astral armor or astral juggernaut of an Aegis of any level (including customizations and bonus customizations). This suit is then worn as normal armor. Crafting a suit requires a Craft (mechanical) check with a DC equal to 20 + the suit’s effective aegis level, and costs 900 gold pieces x (the suit’s effective aegis level) x (the number of customization points the suit possesses). A crafted astral suit cannot be reconfigured or altered by aegis class features but can be enchanted. Use the wearer’s intelligence modifier to determine any abilities of the astral suit based upon the aegis’ intelligence. A character cannot craft a suit in this manner whose effective aegis level exceeds his total character level -4, or his aegis level -2, whichever is higher.
Similarly, augmented skeletons can be crafted and worn as cybertech in the body slot with an implantation value of 4. Augmented skeletons function as an Aberrant Aegis’ transformed body, and are created using the same rules as creating a suit of power armor, save that it requires Craft Cybernetics instead of craft technological arms and armor. Installing an augmented skeleton requires a heal check with a DC equal to twice the skeleton’s effective aberrant level.
