Hi folks. So the rules for Nanoscreen say: “In game terms, a Nanoscreen provides its user with 360˚ Partial Cover, providing the Trooper with the corresponding MODs for Partial Cover, which cannot be added to other Cover MODs” So am I right to consider the +3 ARM mod as part of “the corresponding MODs for Partial Cover”? Effectively is a Gwalio ARM 6 when being shot from range with a BS attack?
Yes, Gwailos get cover all the time and do not need to seek out fire hydrants to hide behind. On the other hand, they don't benefit from taking cover behind a fire hydrant, either.
[Pedant Mode]In N4 Cover does not provide ARM, it reduces the Damage of any incoming attacks by 3, which is why AP ammo does not affect it[/Pedant Mode]
That’s some top-drawer pedantry and it doesn’t go unappreciated :) That specific detail changes the perception of what’s happening just enough for it to make sense. Thanks!
And since it is cover, and not armor, blast, template, etc. weapons ignore it when it comes to armor saves.
