 April 14, 2008 - 9:53am | Hey guys I have an idea. What do you think about a suit that sort of masks the wearer's body heat to match the surroundings? This wont be able for long periods of time (few minutes at the most) but enough to help the wearer evade certain sensors or even detection from a race or being that has some ability to detect heat in their vision. Anybody have any idea on the stats that could go for this???????? Confucious Says: Man with one chopstick go hungry. Man who eat many prunes get good run for money. Man who live in glass house should change clothes in basement. |
 April 16, 2008 - 2:26am | great idea, maybe it could just be incorporated as a feautre into one of the already exisiting suits so all that would be needed is a slight modification for the rules instead of an entirely new rule. This would be really handy as a defense against heat or IR seeking/targeting weapons or as a means to remain invisible to aliens/creatures that see in the heat/IR range. Maybe a good idea for a stealth suit feautre, lightwave bending/cloak, heat reduction, noise reduction, adaptive camoflauge. |
April 16, 2008 - 2:37am | As far as stats I'm not that great at generating numeric tables on the fly, but you could make the person/character/npc attempting to detect the pc in the suit have a negative modifier or have to make intel check to see if they could discern what they were actually looking at. In example, the stealth fighter on radar may look like a glitch or a flock of birds, but not like a standard aircraft radar or heat signature so the person trying to detect it would either have to know what they were looking at or might mistake it for something else/dismiss it entirely. In terms of aliens they may pass you buy if they fail the check because while in the suit you just looked like part of the landscape (ie mud camoflauge in the original predator movie) which would be the result of a failed intel/wis check on the part of the alien. As far as robots and smart weapons, they may have to be equiped with heat/ir equipment or be programed for the detection of this spectrum. |

seemingly reptilian being - by unintentionally covering himself in mud,
which apparently hides his body's heat signature, rendering him
invisible to the creature's infrared vision. |
