Hello,
we are playing N.E.W. right now (great system!). Last night we had two questions regarding armor.
The first one
One of my players got enough money to buy himself a TD85 Scorpion Flexible Armor Suit (SOAK 6; blunt 12)*.
Now he wants to add Reflective for the 5 SOAK vs. heat. But we are in doubt. Does it even stack? It has no "+" so it wouldnt, reading the rules on pg 112.
So what would be his SOAK vs. heat wearing a Reflective TD85?
A) 6; 11 vs. heat; 12 vs. blunt
b) 6; 12 vs. blunt and no bonus from Reflective at all
The same question applies to Silent regarding its SOAK vs. sonic.
The second one
Not sure if i missed it, but how do i know which of the armors offer protection against environments, like the Environmental suit does?
If there is no such thing i will simply offer it as customization option for the prize of an Environmental suit ($500).
As a little QOL suggestion for any future updates: It would be nice to see in the table (pg. 120) which armors are meant to be powered armors. From the table entry I would have bet that the Angel Battlesuit is powered, but the text says its not.
Thank you very much!

*the table entry for that one is messed up a bit, btw.
