Does anyone know of any stats (homebrewed, converted, or otherwise) for mandalorian steel or molecularly bonded armor? I've been searching all over and I haven't found a bloody thing. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you'll find any. There aren't stats for other materials either, such as durasteel... most objects have a body strength of 2D, so go from there.

As for the armour, well, the bonus depends on how its made more so than what it's made of. The WEG rules aren't designed to be that nit-picky; they're simple for ease of use.

I thought that Espos had molecularly bonded armor.

Although in the case of armor made from Mandalorian iron there might be a bonus to resisting lightsaber damage.

Check Gry's Equipment Stats Book. There is a definite bonus vs. lightsabers when one wears a cortosis-weave armor.

Thanks for the help, everyone. I was afraid the information would be a bit limited. One thing that's always bugged me about WEG Star Wars (besides the lack of indexes) is how they always make mention of things but never list stats for them. Oh, well.

I always thought molecular-bounded Armour would be cool, like Stars End or the Sun Crusher, expensive yes, cool as heck YES!!! Speaking of molecular-bounded Armour, does anybody have or wants to create states for a suit of the stuff?

Shocked
