Do you mean the PCs, of ye olde times, come across a advanced civilisation (or just a few people) of techo times?In my d20 future game power armour grants a strength bonus of +4 but has a max dex bonus of 0. I use a damage reduction system for armours, and a fairly average powersuits damage reduction ranges from 10 to 12 (enough to make most pistols worthless and rifles only minimaly useful). This is concerning a roughly man sized suit, at about 7ft.There are also larger suits at say 14ft and then full blown mechs rangeing from 10 to 20 meters (Ive forgoten the measurement in ft). These dont give a strength bonus as the character cant have any meaningfull efect on something so big, and his arms arent in the mechs arms any way. So these are given their own str rating, which varys with make and quality and can be upgraded with the right parts.Any such suits/mechs can have varying systems and special sensors which could give all sorts of abillitys; eg, as you said, darkvision , low-light vision, see invisibility...I dont realy know how you would compare DR to AC.I would agree that a +4 boost seems better. I presume you imagine the suits to quite advanced if they actually increase dexterity; mine are rather slow to respond so that why they impose a penalty instead.</blockquote>
