If Gadgeteers are so great why can't they craft themselves some amazing armor?

Just wondering.

Prolly cause armor is not considered a "gadget". Unless of course you could fashion some kind of exo-battle suit. With attached shoulder-mounted rocket launchers and mini-guns. Integrated jet-pack, pulse-laser rifle and an ion-disrupter
cannon for those really tough battles.

Ok, I got a little carried away there.

Hmmm. I was working on a CRPG in a similar vein to the Wizardry games; maybe I aught add something like that, though I really didn't want any high technology in my setting.

Yes! That's EXACTLY what I was thinking about.

I mean you've got a guy who adds an Armaggedon attachment to his Omni-Gun. Surely he could create some spiffy kinds of armor.

Something lightweight, very strong with radar attachments (like X-ray) built in so you wouldn't need all those little gizmos he's creating.

Ooh, I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

Actually he could given components and a hi-tech base. Remember these gadgets are field expediants. McGuiver rather than Tony Stark.

But he has the components. He did, after all, create the X-ray scanner. He could field-rig his helmet to hold the scanner.

(OK, fine, he couldn't really but I *WANNA* see it!)

6. "Original thoughts on gadgeteer ..."
... one off them anyway, was that the could make mods to armor. I remember one idea of them adding a bladder to a piece of armor, that would react and puff out (or expand quickly) thus hitting the opponent back.

Just that kind of whacky thing you would expect in Wizardry ... I guess that idead got morphed into the mirror armor. I guess the original line didn't hold out, in trying to balance them against a bard (for roughly equal numbers of gadgets/instruments).
