Advantages
- Gives excellent armor which scales extremely well with level.
- Gives heat resist and cold resist which scale well with level.
- Completely weightless.
- Causes members of the Tortoise faction to start friendly to the player.
- At 10th level, is equivalent to a
zetachrome lune with a higher heat and cold resistance and no acid/electric resistance.
Disadvantages
- At low levels, the DV penalty is strong enough to outweigh the AV bonus.
- Recovering from prone may take longer.
- Permanently takes up the player's body slot.
