Thread: Segment Enhancers?
Creatures like Krayt Dragons, Kimogilas, Sharnaffs, Rancors, Voritors, etc. drop two different kinds of armorsmithing loot. They drop segments and plates or scales. The segments are usually junk, they offer different resists, for example Voritor Segments are used in bone armor and offer a Kinetic resist but the energy resist is substandard.
I personally use:
Rancor Hides (these add about as much encumbrance as a layer, they increase base, cold, and heat)
Nightsister Layers (these are actually layers that improve the base protection and actually reduce encumbrance)
Nightsister Shards (these are enhancers that reduce encumbrance)
Janta Hides (enhancers that improve base without increasing encumbrance)
Voritor Scales (increase Energy and Kinetic but add encumbrance)
