Tech of the Knight Sabers

Author’s Note

This section details the technology and Hardsuits of the Knight Sabers as well as gives basic guidelines for creating your own using the BRCS rules. The guidelines only state which attributes and defects I felt were best in designing a Hardsuit accurately. The Armaments step details as many weapons as I could get from the 2033 sourcebook. Î applied certain defects and Abilities which suited each weapon but left the out the level. The damage is for the GM to decide. However, I did include a damage modifier to make the math a bit easier. Just add the damage to whatever the base damage is of the desired level.

A couple of the Defects and Attributes have levels listed by them. These denote what the best level is to take the defect or attribute at. This is mainly for accurate design only. Also, Attributes with a * next to it are option attributes based on the person’s personal design.

Some of the basic information on the suits was obtained through R. Talsorian’s Bubblegum Crisis 2033 RPG Sourcebook.
