Dude, get over it- wookies wont get armor. Their are too massive to fit into armor and be able to effectively move. If you dont like this, you make a different race. Its not like wookie is the ONLY class that you can make. Did you ever consider that wookies can't wear armor as a way of keeping the number of wookies running around the galaxy to a minimum? As it stands right now, wookies are what... 20% of the population? I gaurantee thats extremely higher than the real Star wars Galaxy.
If you dont like it, move along... move along...
I've been critisized for making statements like this before. But, you're an @$$ Hole.
I feel better.
Why would they want to keep the Wookie population down? That's just stupid. TheREAL Starwars Galaxy? Stupid! Their too MASSIVE?? Stupid! I supose that your going to tell us that they can't cloth fat people in the REAL starwars galaxy because they are too massive.Oh wait you're right. Jabba the Hutt it naked. Too masive! Sorry dude........ no i'm not your stupid?
And I'm a little kid becauseI used stupid too often.
Give us the ARMOR!!!!!
Stop the nerfing of all professions.

Wookies dont wear armor it has nothing to do with this game its just a known fact that wookies find it dishonorable to wear it. I think stats need to play a bigger role in gameplay than just ham cost and armor encumb. If you play the other star wars gamesyou would see they just dont like to wear it.
Hmm. I don't know where you got that or if you're just making it up. But regardless of your source I'd like to point out that in Episode 3 Wookiees do indeed wear armor. Yoda is on the Wookiee homeworld when the clone troopers turn on the Jedi and armor clad Wookiees come to the Jedi Master's aid.
If George Lucas says Wookiees wear armor then I say to hell with whatever the EU says (asuming thats where you're getting your info).

It is true that there have been no "film" references to wookies in armor (and dont give me that EP3 info, nothing is set in stone, just ask the actors who played Padme's family in EP2). But that doesnt mean the game couldnt be tweaked to allow a few pieces of wookie armor. A helm, a few chest pieces, bracers and like Trandoshans, the armor wouldnt be complete.
So here's my solution. Make wookie armor similar to the marauder armor quest. Only wookies can accept the missions and they get either the armor pieces or a draft schematic that only wookies can make (i.e. the bowcaster).
Till that day, suck it up. I played a wookie with the understanding that was one of the hinderances of playing that race.
While I'm sure everyone already noticed, in the last example I gave, it pretty much sums up the truth.
Your average "any race but Wookiee" can absorb 6 times the damage a Wookiee can, on fairly lousy 70% armor.
I'm willing to accept that the race I chose has some disadvantages, but SIX TIMES weaker than everyone else???
I'll be fine with my additional stat's, and no armor, when you get 6 times fewer stat points than I do... Better yet, let me wear armor, and you can HAVE the bonus stat points, I won't need them. More importantly, while we do get more points to play with, the caps are sooo low on the support bars, the extra points are close to useless. It might be worth it to be unable to wear armor, if we didn't get capped as well, so we could at least be the race that had no cost to spam away on specials, but even that isn't true.
All you end up with when it's all said and done as a Wookiee, is the fact that your going to regenerate a bit faster when your not in a fight.... Yea,that is real useful.

Dude, tell the continuity thing to the devs.... HELLO!!!! LOOK AT THE FREEKING JEDI!
thats all i have to say about that
If wookiees could wear regular armor they would HAVE to surrender Stats, which would involve a lot of coding and piss off most wookiees that have to wait 3 days for their stats to migrate how they want them to now. Much simpler to make some crappy wookie-only armor that lets them have AR1

I'd let wookies have armor if it was in-line with their expanded stats. This means that wookie armor could never be as good as normal armor. However, it would make them equal to non-wookies.
Well why not let us have the same or better armor? We are bigger and can carry more stuff.

Wookiess in armor would look dumb. What you need is, just like there is some wookiee clothes, make a "Hard Leather" hood, robe, armwraps, that offer very little in special protection but give wookiees the all important AR1.

Dude your have no idea what you're talking about. Special coding to give Wookies armor? Why should we have to surrender stats?
I'm sorry but an extra 450 on the stats in nothing compared to what the armor gives all the other species. Why don't you non-Wookies go so the math before you post here.
