When stripping out the parts that make it powered armor, the dwarven armorers back home added some capabilities. One is a depth tolerance far beyond the norm for SAMAS, though it's worth noting that part of the effect is having an MDC wearer; An SDC human in the suit would have a much shallower crush point (of course, given the weight of it, an SDC human would have severe problems just standing up in it). He's not QUITE able to swim down and say "Howdy" to the Lord of the Deep, but he could get within cannon range. Out of his armor, since there isn't any depth tolerance data for an MDC human, I used the one for Sea Titans from Underseas (he'd have to hold his breath if he tried it though).<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"Aaron Clausen" <mightymartianca@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"The Tao of Cow Rifts PBEM" <taocowpbem@zork.net><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, September 21, 2011 3:47:25 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Taocow PBEM] [Everyone Back Together] Book 3 - Chapter VI - Down Another Rabbit Hole OOC<br><br>On 21/09/2011 3:14 PM, difdi@comcast.net wrote:<br>> > Justin's shot pretty much obliterates the eye.
