Armor Templates
The following templates function the same way as general templates, but can be applied only to armor.
Bonadan-Alloy Armor
Knights of the Old Republic, page 80.
Although weapons are illegal on the crowded world of Bonadan, armor crafted from a unique alloy created on that planet is second to none. Bonadan-alloy armor provides DR 2 against slashing damage, but any equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense provided by the armor is reduced by one (to a minimum of +0). Bonadan-alloy armor costs 10% or 1,000 credits (whichever is higher) more than the base item.
Restrictions: This template can be applied only to a suit of armor that provides an equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense.
Bronzium Cast Armor
Knights of the Old Republic, page 80.
An extremely solid and durable metal, bronzium can be used in the production of armor that can protect the wearer from suffering great harm. Once per encounter, the wearer of bronzium cast armor can redirect the damage from a successful incoming attack to the armor; the armor takes the damage from the attack (armor has the same DR, hit points, damage threshold, and break DC as a weapon of the same size category as the wearer). If the armor is disabled or destroyed, it no longer provides any bonuses to the wearer. A suit of armor pushed down the condition track imposes its condition penalties to the wearer’s Reflex Defense only. Bronzium cast armor costs 10% or 1,000 credits (whichever is higher) more than the base item.
Restrictions: None.
Durasteel Cast Armor
Knights of the Old Republic, page 80.
A thin and lightweight metal, durasteel is used in the construction of armor when extra protection is needed. Durasteel cast armor grants DR 1 to the wearer, but any equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense provided by the armor is reduced by one (to a minimum of +0). Durasteel cast armor costs 10% or 1,000 credits (whichever is higher) more than the base item.
Restrictions: This template can be applied only to a suit of armor that provides an equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense.
Environmental Bastion Armor
Knights of the Old Republic, page 80.
Environmental bastion armors are designed to protect the wearer from harsh environments— including vacuum—and provide a comfortable environment for whatever species they are made for (for example, Ubese wear environmental bastion armor that produces atmosphere similar to their homeworld’s). Environmental bastion armor acts as a sealed environment suit, providing a number of hours of breathable air to the wearer equal to the armor’s equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense. Environmental bastion armor costs 10% more than the base item.
Restrictions: This template can be applied only to a suit of armor that provides an equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense.
Eriadun Armor
Knights of the Old Republic, page 80.
Crafted on the Human-dominated world of Eriadu, Eriadun armor helps soldiers avoid being taken prisoner and interrogated by enemy forces. A suit of Eriadun armor or an Eriadun energy shield provides DR 5 against stun damage, but any equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense provided by the armor is reduced by one (to a minimum of +0). Eriadun armor costs 10% or 1,000 credits (whichever is higher) more than the base item.
Restrictions: This template can be applied only to a suit of armor that provides an equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense.
