WHALE ARMOR:
And now it's everyone's favorite part of the book- WHALE POWER ARMOR!!! The most insane, goofy idea EVER, I can't even imagine what they were thinking, much less why they felt we needed four full pages of similar-looking armor. I mean, it's all designed by Vince Martin! So it all looks cool, but so obviously shares his distinct traits and is for the same stuff- it's like his "Dragon 'Borg" series. So everything is this egg-shaped oval suit with vents... with bulbs sticking off of it and a bunch of lesser-eggs on stalks behind the thing.
"Dolphin Scout Power Armor"- Toughness +10, Swimming 7 (60 mph), "Blue-Green Gun" Blast 9, "Mini-Torpedos" Blast 14, +2 Dodge, Sonar, Radiation Detector, Homing Beacon, Radio
-The simplest one, given to the New Navy's dolphin allies for work. Loyal dolphins are allowed to keep them, and half of them do, mostly for speed. The peace-loving creatures rarely use the Torpedos (which do INSANE damage, as
Rifts has way overpowered their missiles & such).
"Man-O-War Class Combat Armor"- Toughness +11 for Dolphins/+12 for Killer Whales, Swimming 6 (30 mph), +1 Dodge, Ranged Attack +2, "Blue-Green Laser Turret" Blast 13 (+2 Range), "Rail Guns" Blast 13 (+2 Range), "Mini-Torpedos" Blast 14, Sonar, Radiation Detector, Homing Beacon, Radio
-A bit sleeker, with some spikey dorsal fins on top and side guns. This is a warrior suit, favored by Orcas.
"Sea Tiger Class Combat Armor"- Toughness +13, Swimming 6 (30 mph), Close Attack +2, +1 Dodge, "Blue-Green Laser Turret" Blast 13 (+2 Range), "Rail Guns" Blast 13 (+2 Range), "Mini-Torpedos" Blast 14, "Ram Fin" Damage 9, , Sonar, Radiation Detector, Homing Beacon, Radio
-Basically the same as the Man-O-War Class, but tougher and only for Killer Whales. It also adds some melee damage. Looks a bit bulkier and rounder, with front guns and a longer "back fin" thing.
"Unicorn Scout Class Power Armor"- Toughness +13, Swimming 6 (30 mph), Close Attack +2, +1 Dodge, "Blue-Green Pulse Laser/Ion Blaster" Blast 13 (+2 Range, Multiattack), "Unicorn Lance" Damage 12, Sonar, Radiation Detector, Homing Beacon, Radio
-A very slender-looking suit with a segmented tail piece and long spines along the back, this one also features a narwhal-like horn on the front. That does some pretty serious damage, though it's overall less well-armed.
