Materials

ALUMISTEEL (PL 5)

This easy-to-acquire alloy is lightweight and reasonably strong. Alumisteel can also be used for armor (see Mecha Armor, below).

Hardness: 10.

Base Purchase DC Modifier: -4.

DURALLOY (PL 6)

Duralloy is harder, heavier, and more durable than alumisteel. It can also be used to fashion armor (see Mecha Armor, below).

Hardness: 15.

Base Purchase DC Modifier: None.

VANADIUM (PL 6)

Vanadium alloy absorbs a respectable amount of damage and is easy to mold.

Hardness: 20.

Base Purchase DC Modifier: +4.

NEOVULCANIUM (PL 7)

Similar to duralloy, neovulcanium uses plasma-forging techniques to create an alloy of unparalleled resilience. Neovulcanium can also be used for armor (see Mecha Armor, below).

Hardness: 20.

Base Purchase DC Modifier: None.

NEUTRONITE (PL 7)

Neutronite is a tough steel alloy into which a weave of free neutrons has been pressed. It is extremely resilient but also incredibly massive, weighing approximately five times more than a similar volume of lead.

Hardness: 25.

Base Purchase DC Modifier: +4.

MEGATANIUM (PL 8)

Sandwiched layers of crystal carbon and neovulcanium held in a magnetic matrix, megatanium is exceedingly hard and durable. Megatanium can also be used for armor (see Mecha Armor, below).

Hardness: 30.

Base Purchase DC Modifier: None.
