So should we be suggesting an errata to High-Tech to remove the flexible? Curious if anyone on the playtest has thoughts on that.
Personally, I'd be willing to either fudge it and allow it to remain flexible, or, more likely, decree the armor isn't flexible. I don't mind that kind of change.
My real concern was the fact that it comes out to about 1/3 the cost and 1/3 the mass. Granted, cost is easier to hand wave in a given campaign ("we produce so few of them that we don't get economies of scale, thus the costs are higher"), but the mass bugs me. Going from 65 lbs that can hamper easily hamper someone to a mere 20 lbs (and thus possible to not even encumber a person) doesn't seem right to me.
Hmm.. going over High-Tech again, and seems I made a mistake. The DR 20/5 is front torso/everywhere else, not piercing/other. So, it's likely is some other material, as DR 20 exceed the Max DR for Aramid Fabric. For the fun of it, I made a suit with DR 20 front torso and 5 elsewhere, and that still leaves me at 50% mass, not to mention that it would give me DR (20 x 4 =) 80 vs bullets on the front torso.
