Armor Brace
Panopliakinesis 2
Test: Crafts + Wisdom
TN: 20
Action: Half Action
Keywords: Combo-OK, Somatic
Duration: Willpower/rounds

Brace yourself. Increase the AP value of target armor by your intelligence.


Hermetic Sealing
Panopliakinesis 2
Test: Crafts + Wisdom
TN: 20
Action: Half Action
Keywords: Somatic
Duration: five rounds

The engineer seals the target's helmet to give them respite from their surroundings. If the target is wearing a helmet (or armor that covers all locations), it is sealed like a void suit and the wearer has an air supply that lasts the duration of the cypher. Only the helmet has void-survival properties. You may add the Fieldcraft keyword to have this cypher last five minutes instead.


Jackhammer Servo
Panopliakinesis 2
Test: Crafts + Wisdom
TN: 20
Action: Full Action
Keywords: Attack, Somatic, Touch

Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep. The engineer makes an unarmed attack, adding +1k0 to the damage roll for each raise on the attack roll up to his ranks in Panopliakinesis. If he gets three raises on his Cypher roll, the bonus is +2k0 instead.


Slow and Purposeful
Panopliakinesis 2
Test: Crafts + Wisdom

Magboots
Panopliakinesis 3
TN: 25
Test: Crafts + Wisdom
Action: Half Action
Keywords: Fieldcraft, Subtle
Duration: Indefinite

You've put some magnetism into your greaves so walking around isn't as much of a problem. So long as you are wearing armor on your legs, you may walk along metal surfaces at half your base speed. Whether it be along vertical surfaces, in microgravity, or even upside-down. The cypher ends when you want it to, but try to be safe.


Rocket-Assisted Punch
Panopliakinesis 3
Test: Crafts + Wisdom
TN: 25
Action: Half Action
Keywords: Attack, Somatic, Touch
Duration: Instant

Not quite full Mazinger but we're at Big O which is a good start. Make an unarmed attack. It has a static bonus to damage and penetration equal to the AP of armor protecting one of your arms.

Booster Jets
Panopliakinesis 4
Test: Crafts + Wisdom
TN: 30
Action: Half Action
Keywords: Focus, Somatic
Duration: Instant
Focus: Armor

You've wired pulse jets into your armor and now you can bounce around the field. You may jump up to 5m vertically and/or horizontally.


Cage
Panopliakinesis 4
Test: Crafts + Wisdom
TN: 30
Action: Half Action
Keywords: Fieldcraft, Saving Throw, Subtle
Duration: Three rounds (after the armor is put on)

Some engineers like to put in anti-theft safety features into their armor. Can't blame them. The next person to put on the affected armor must pass either and Athletics + Strength or Tech Use + Intelligence saving throw or be unable to make use of the location/s the armor is on. Can't use the arm, can't walk, can't talk or make perception tests, etc. They may retry each round as a full action.


Sakuretsu
Panopliakinesis 4
Test: Crafts + Wisdom
TN: 30
Action: Full Action
Keywords: Fieldcraft, Touch
Duration: Indefinite

The engineer rigs armor to explode if that's what it comes to. The next time the wearer of the affected armor is hit in melee on a location protected by it, the armor explodes. It has the blast (# of hit locations covered) property and deals damage in accordance with the type it is and a pen equal to its native ap value. The armor then loses half its native ap value until repaired.

Light armor: 1k1 X damage
Medium armor: 2k1 X damage
Heavy armor: 3k2 X damage
Extreme armor: 3k3 X damage
Power armor: 4k3 X damage

Panopliakinesis 5

SPOILER: Click to show

Rite of Custom-Fitting: The engineer performs a ritual to loosen the straps and joints for the day ahead. The ritual takes half an hour to perform. Reduce the static defense penalty of up to a suit of armor by half after modifiers such as proficiency and increase its max dex by 1. A "suit" of armor is enough armor pieces to cover each hit location exactly once. You may only affect one suit of armor this way at a time.


Rocket Punch
Panopliakinesis 5
Test: Crafts + Wisdom
TN: 35
Action: Half Action
Keywords: Attack, Ranged Touch, Somatic
Duration: Instant

The engineer goes full Mazinger and fires an armor piece at their target. The engineer may make a weaponless unarmed attack with the Reach property that can hit up to 15m away. Add the armor's AP as a static bonus to damage and pen on the attack. One arm loses the AP (and whatever other protective properties) from worn armor until the beginning of the next round.

[Traskus]

I was not aware that was a word either.

Prostasia's on the backburner but if someone else wants to do it you'd probably do a better job anyway.

[Traskus]

Focus changed to combitool.
Slow and purposeful bumped to four rounds.
Cage now has a time limit so you aren't stuck forever.
Rite of custom fitting is now a bonus, not a cypher.

[Traskus]

Added in jackhammer servo. One suggested a while back but now is included. Put it in lv 2 to not compete with rocket assisted punch.

[GuardianTempest]

Cypher idea: Deploy Recoil Struts (working name)
Focus: Armor
Effect: You become immobilized but gain Auto-Stabilized

Jackhammer Servo needs a TN.
