I spotted these rules on page 19 of DA2: Across the Bright Face.
Vacc Suits are treated a cloth armor. If a person wearing a vacc suit is hit in combat, then throw 11+ for the face plate to shatter.
Stuff like that.
Question...
I do have a question about these rules, though. It says to throw the DEX of any one adjacent individual to fully cover a puncture hole. DM is twice* Vacc Suit skill.
If that roll fails, then throw the wearer's DEX using +1 DM per Vacc Suit skill on the next combat round (which means that character is leaking air for 30 seconds).
If that roll fails, then the air bleeds out and the character dies.
I'm not getting the "throw DEX" part. Shouldn't high DEX be beneficial? The way it reads, a lower DEX is more likely to get the puncture covered.
I guess I am reading this wrong?
*First time I've seen twice the skill used...a multiplier...as a DM. Anything goes in Classic Traveller!
