I definitely agree that big clunky suits should make physical actions harder. However, I'd prefer it they took a route similar to restrictive gauntlets (Ham Fisted) or headwear (No Peripheral Vision). In other words, a flat -X to dexterity, instead of a cap on DX skills. This method doesn't even seem that out-there to me; multiple layers of armor already give a DX penalty.

But anyways, this isn't on topic for this thread. I can drop it or start a new thread.

I actually agree with this - my original plan was to make it a perk, and after re-reading the Environmental Suit entry, I am a little more on that side of the issue. Other than setting up the Tanks/Rigging, you do not "operate" a FFE/Turnout Suit.

This is more of a Driving (Hvy Wheeled) Technique, IMHO.

Would a paramedic have Physician? They don't prescribe medicines... I think of them more as having really high First Aid, a point in Diagnosis, and decent Electronic Ops (Medical)...
