Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

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 will take longer.
• Permanently takes up the player's body slot.
