D&D 5E - Power Armor? Fallout Style

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read
Some fallout armor is just armor, so not a big deal. But I agree - power armor should be special.

There should be grades of power armor, of course and I agree that the lowest level is pretty simple. I think some of the fun could be refurbishing/building a set. Getting pieces for the armor could be their own side quests or rewards to the point of having to potentially find a "magical" power core.

I could even see someone inheriting a minimal chassis missing pieces that would be the equivalent of mundane chain armor or not even functional and then slowly upgrading if you want.

After that? Skies the limit. Start with better AC, strength 19. Add in feather fall and then boots of flying. Possible options include resistance to magical energy types and so on.
