The Gladiator: Giant Modified Full Environmental Body Armour |
By: Dustin M. Ramsey (DustinM@rifts-rpg.com)
Based on Concepts and Game Design by: Kevin Siembieda and
Palladium Books (http://www.palladiumbooks.com)
One of the most popular medium-weight full environmental suits recently introduced to the market. The body armour utilizes the new super light weight fibre armour that resembles chain mail and light plates of armour. The suit offers excellent mobility and equally excellent physical protection. The fibre skirt is standard for both male and female suits and offers one of the best forms of protection to the groin area. Comes in white, tan, silver, light gray, dark gray, and black.
This armour is often used by Cyclops, Rahu-Men, Borowitz, and other giant-sized R.C.C.'s that prize both mobility and protection.
