Carapace grants the "Tighten Carapace" ability, which allows player to tighten their carapace, doubling their {{AV}}AV bonus but decreasing their {{DV}}DV by an additional 2 points. Tightening one's carapace is an action that takes one standard turn length. Taking most actions other than passing the turn will loosen the carapace, causing the players {{AV}}AV and {{DV}}DV to return to standard values; however, most mental mutations can be used without loosening the carapace. | |||
== Formulas == | |||
The following formulas are used to determine {{AV}}AV bonus, heat resistance, and cold resistance by mutation level. | |||
