Armorite School
A society of warrior-alchemist-technicians who utilize heavy armor and complex, experimental weapons and equipment. The front line warriors are trained in the operation and maintenance of the equipment, as well as in the strength training needed to lug the armor about the battlefield.

 Coolant Pack Tier: 3 Card Type: Equipment Effect: FireSave5,NegInit1 Two wine-sack shaped modules mounted on the pauldrons. When activated, covers the outside of the armor in a slowly dripping sheet of syrupy-liquid that rapidly cools on contact with the air, chilling the metal and the user. For the next 20 minutes, has a major bonus to fire saves. Has a secondary mode where the entire coolant reservoir is emptied at once, instantly removing any fire/heat effects on the user. This removes the effect until the coolant can be re-filled. Note: Do not activate this mode in cold conditions. |
 Heating Cores Tier: 3 Card Type: Equipment Effect: ColdSave5,NegInit1 A set of 8 rods that are mounted at strategic points in the armor.

After that the rods need to be replaced. |
 Molten Blade Tier: 3 Card Type: Equipment Effect: DmgOnHitHeat8 A crudely forged sword whose blade has been infused with alchemical metals. After activating the catalyst reservoir in the hilt the sword rapidly heats up to just below its melting point. It will deal severe heat damage to anything it touches. After 3 rounds, the reaction completes and the sword blade will have melted into unusable slag. The heating process also gives off an intense light; please do not look directly at the blade when it is active. |
