You might be starting at "holder of advanced degree in _perfect_ health with special training" and then after you get them into space move onto "has never served in a spacebourne facility where there was room for zero G exercise" and I suspect that your sample size has gotten uselessly small by then..

Re: Pyramid #3/85: Cutting Edge
I'd like to point out that I never said it was the default — I said that they would probably have a default, as in the ability to roll against it at DX-6, or maybe a Dabbler perk that includes it. And given the benefits that Astrobatics provides in the article, I feel quite firmly that that is the case.
I'm not saying there's anyone trained in it — just that there exist people that can attempt it. |

Re: Pyramid #3/85: Cutting Edge
So Cutting-Edge Armour design states in the description for Basic Ceramic that you could use those stats for transparent quartz — what would you use for transparent corundum? Improved Ceramic? I'm looking for more effective transparent faceplates than the Laminated Polycarbonate.
Also, the table lacks the 'T' note for Basic Ceramic — is that a deliberate omission? |

Re: Pyramid #3/85: Cutting Edge
But that's per RAW even before the article, leading me to think you meant something more. Otherwise, why mention it? Sorry if there was confusion!

Re: Pyramid #3/85: Cutting Edge
The Free Fall preview doesn't tell me much. Could someone tell me more what the article's about, before I decide to buy it?

So if you are gaming in a microgravity or free fall environment or planning an adventure in such an environment, you'll want this to handle questions like, "What happens when I Judo Throw someone in space?" or "Someone tied me up in my jumpsuit in the middle of the cargo hold. I can't reach anything. How do I escape and how long does it take?" or even, "Does firing my 9mm on the ISS shoot me off backwards or send me tumbling?" If you intend to have any EVA spacewalks, you probably don't NEED this, but it could add a level of drama with control rolls if a mishap occurs. Oh, and there are two free fall-related martial arts styles in it, too.
