Ultra Tech Invisibility surface? how does it work in combat?
so my character got himself a nice invisibility surface suit [UT-100] to use in combat. We are TL-10 so it is nice and all.
I am cool with the -6 to hit me in combat.... but how does it work? exsample? do the enemy first have to spot me with a perception of -6 if I move around, or how does it work? I try to make a dodge monkey build, and while I simply love the -6 to hit me, unless tehy have some special visor. I cannot help but feel it is overpowered and puts my GM in a terrible spot when we are fighting ordinary blokes that wants to rob us. from the book: Invisibility Surface (TL10-12) This active optical camouflage system renders the user nearly invisible. Its fabric incorporates thousands of embedded nanocameras and projectors (or a quantum dot array) to create a seamless “projection stealth” system. Controlled by a fast dedicated computer, this captures images of the user’s surroundings, then displays photorealistic imagery that can fool observers from multiple angles and perspectives. The user is invisible. He gets +9 to Stealth rolls in most circumstances. The invisibility is effective against living things and machines, and will fool cameras. The user casts a visible shadow. He also appears as a shadow when silhouetted directly against the sun or any other extremely bright light source (such as a searchlight); reduce the Stealth bonus to +3 under these conditions. When he moves, there’s a faint shimmering that others can spot with a Vision-6 roll, and target in combat at -6 to hit. The suit can also function as a video display terminal. The user can “paint” the suit with any desired color or pattern; this reduces the power drain by a factor of 10. At TL10, an invisibility surface is only effective against visual and infrared (or thermal) imaging. At TL11, it is also effective against ultraviolet and hyperspectral imaging, unless that has either the extended high- or low-band options. At TL12, it is effective against extended high- and low-band hyperspectral imaging. |

If you want something that's not only a bit fairer but will also raise far less questions from the authorities is they see you with one on, TL10 Multispectral Chameleon Surface might be for you heh. Quote:
Now before anyone can shoot you, they need to know that you are there so so if no one has succeed on a Per roll to spot you (or noticed you through other means like smelled you or heard you) then no one can act against you. If you have been notice they can attack you but are -6 since you are still hard to make out, especially in the din of combat. Clear as mud?

Re: Ultra Tech Invisibility surface? how does it work in combat?
If you got your stealth and shadowing skill raised up, you can be quite the assassin, especially if you use a very silent weapon like a gauss gun on low velocity mode or, even better, an air gun.

Though based on how the OP decried things, him and his group are a bunch of Han Solo/Mal types that got lucky on a gig and probably are going to be going against people who lack the equipment or training to bring that kind of fire power to bare. Their best tactic would be once someone spots him, the enemy masses fire and targets that area he's standing at and hope for the best. Yep.

Re: Ultra Tech Invisibility surface? how does it work in combat?
It should be noted that PESA works well against TL 10-11 versions of the invisibility surface and the hyperspectral works against TL 10. Also active sensors work fine.
Also note that the sensors are LC4 so much wider availability. But yes, ordinary thugs messing with opponents that have military grade gear can kind of expect to lose. It is the same as those ordinary thugs attacked someone in a Combat Hardsuit, they would not be expected to win in such situation either. |
