Armor Upgrades

A creature can personalize armor by purchasing and installing armor upgrades, described below, which add bonuses or customized abilities to armor. Some individuals keep a collection of upgrades at hand, swapping them out as needed (requiring 10 minutes to replace the unit and resecure all connections). Explanations of entries for upgrades’ statistics follow.

Burrowing Arms

This armor upgrade became popular for adventurers who needed to traverse the Plane of Earth, which can frequently require excavation. It consists of modifications to the arms that allow you to quickly move dirt and other loose material, granting a burrow speed. Unless otherwise stated, burrowing arms can’t be used to burrow through solid rock or metal. This upgrade can be installed only in heavy or powered armor.
