Hey there, I was wondering if anyone had any staples for day to day armor for my street sammy... Jacket, pants and mask... Thanks!

I'm a fan of the 6Tees urban clothing line.  Throw PPP slim and FFBA under it.  Mod your clothes with an assortment of upgrades.

[Lucifer2072]

What kind of upgrades? I'm sorry, still very new to this...

[mtfeeney = Baron]

Which books do you have access to?  What's your Body attribute?  What do you mean by day to day armor?  Are you wanting something to wear out in public?  You need advice on what to wear on a run?

[Lucifer2072]

Currently just purchased the 5th edition book (coming out soon) but until then I think most of 'em. Body type of a soldier, 6' 180-190, shaved head, armor he can wear in public and on a run.

[mtfeeney = Baron]

I'm not sure how to answer now.  5th Edition isn't out yet, so there's no way to tell you what armor you'll use.  As for what I said earlier, a Body attribute is one of the scores your character has.  It's like constitution from D&D, if you're more familiar with that.

[Lucifer2072]

That makes a lot of sense, would you mind if I talked to you a bit after it comes out and I learn how to play a bit more?

I'd go with a Lined Coat for your day-to-day wear. Common enough that you won't stand out anywhere, and still provides reasonable protection. Some forearm and shin guards from the PPP line will help bring you to a solid 6/6. Not bad for your day to day wear. You'll want something heavier for actual work, obviously.

[Lucifer2072]

Could you give me some examples of heavier armor I could talk to my gm about?

[All4BigGuns]

Form-fitting Body Armor - Nonconductivity 6
Lined Coat - Chemical Protection 6
SecureTech PPP set (minus the Helmet and wearing either the leg or arm casings--not both).

[Mirikon]

For actual work, what you get depends on your Body. Load up as heavy as you can go without encumbrance.

[Lucifer2072]

And for his mask? Respirator or anything?

[Mirikon]

Day to day, a mask draws all the wrong kind of attention. When you're on the job, I'd go with a Death Mask, if you can. +1 to intimidate, +0/+1 Armor, and acts as a gas mask. Just remember that a mask is only for those times when 'blending in' has gone out the window.

[RHat]

Alternatively, there's the Ballistic Mask.

[Aryeonos]

Which, until you pull it up over your face just looks like a smock, unless you're using one of those rigid kinds.
