CHROMIUM EXODERM LIGHT ARMOR

Chromium exoderm light armor is one of the flashiest cybernetic augmentations on the market.  Thousands of the recipient’s pores are replaced with nanite deployment modules.  While inactive the armor is almost undetectable and only someone with the Nanotaker feat or similar ability is capable of identifying it as an augmentation.  As a move action, the recipient can activate the armor by releasing millions of microscopic nanite spiders which form a protective lattice. To observers, the recipient appears to be coated in liquid chromium and provides a reflective, hard to the touch, yet flexible surface. 

Recipient’s only takes half-damage from lasers or photon based weapons and it provides the same environmental protections as normal armor.  Due to the reflective and flashy nature of the armor, the recipient’s disguise penalty applies to all Stealth checks to hide while the armor is active. Cybernetic armor provides no upgrade slots, but cybernetic armor upgrade slots can be purchased.  Cybernetic armor does not count against the recipient’s Bulk.  See Table 4-2: Cybernetic Armor for additional armor statistics.
