Special Ammunition

Special ammunition is handled on a case by case basis. Trying to get illegal ammunition can (and probably will) get you into trouble with law enforcement, local or federal.

Armor

Thick coats, flack suits, cybernetic armor, and other methods of protection absorb the damage of an attack. In game terms, armor adds dice to a character’s soak roll and allows a human being to soak lethal damage as well as certain types of aggravated damage – a vampire’s fangs, most likely, but not fire, or Life Sphere magick.

Light armor is easy enough to move around in, and supernatural effects can turn business suits or lingerie into cloth-weight armor too. Most forms of normal-tech armor, though, get cumbersome. Certain types of armor inflict a penalty upon the wearer’s Dexterity-based dice pool and demand time to put on or take off. Slipping on a biker jacket takes a single easy action, but a cop donning riot gear needs several minutes to suit up properly.

Armor does not stack. Any armor with a Dexterity Penalty cannot be concealed.

Shields

Shields act as protective gear that can be brought to bear when facing an enemy. An opponent who’s facing your shield in hand-to-hand combat adds +1 or +2 to his difficulty to hit you, depending on the size of the shield in question. If it’s being used to ward off projectile weapons (bottles, rocks, bullets, etc.), then a shield also acts as armor, reducing a blow by one success for every level in the shield’s Rating.

That said, a shield occupies one hand, restricting the user’s movements and potential activities. Blocking a specific incoming attack (say a volley of bullets or a swung fire axe) demands a Dexterity + Melee roll and a dedicated shield blocking action. Shields are heavy, too, and they suggest that you’re looking for trouble. Outside of riot-trained police (who often use them in formation) and medieval reenactment enthusiasts, you won’t find many people in the 90s using shields.
