Armor Upgrades
37 upgrades across two slot layers. Overlays bolt onto the surface — visible plating, weave coatings, sensor jammers. Underlays sit against the body — temperature regulation, padded linings, regeneration packs. Each piece of armor has one of each slot.

| Chitin Plating I | Light, Medium, Heavy | 1,500 cr | Lv 3+ | Bolted-on chitin plates grant an additional +1 bonus to AC. Chitin is light, so there is no speed cost — but forged rigid, the plates reduce your armor's maximum Dexterity bonus by 1. You gain advantage on saving throws against radiation and irradiated environments. |
| Stealth Plating I | Light | 1,500 cr | Lv 3+ | +1 to Stealth checks while wearing this armor. |
| Thermal Shielding I | Light, Medium, Heavy | 2,000 cr | Lv 3+ | You gain Damage Resistance 1 vs Fire damage. |

| Chitin Plating II | Light, Medium, Heavy | 3,000 cr | Lv 6+ | Layered chitin plating grants an additional +2 bonus to AC with no loss of speed, but its rigidity reduces your armor's maximum Dexterity bonus by 1 and imposes -1 to Stealth checks. You gain advantage on saving throws against radiation and irradiated environments. |
| Thermal Shielding II | Light, Medium, Heavy | 3,500 cr | Lv 6+ | You gain Damage Resistance 2 vs Fire damage. |

| Chitin Plating III | Light, Medium, Heavy | 5,000 cr | Lv 9+ | A full chitin over-shell grants an additional +3 bonus to AC — above the usual plating cap — and, being light, costs you no speed. The trade is flexibility: it reduces your armor's maximum Dexterity bonus by 2 and imposes -2 to Stealth checks. You are immune to radiation sickness and have advantage on saving throws against radiation and irradiated environments. |
