Does it improve effectiveness or duration, or both? When I'm wearing my camo/maskcent pants, shirt and duster I get +70/+118 in my skillmods menu. What exactly does this mean?

+70 is your natural maskscent skill.

+118 is your maskscent skill including the bonuses from your clothing.

I believe (although I may be wrong) that it affects duration and effectiveness.

First, understand that no modifier over +25 counts, even though it is displayed in your skillbox. You really only have a +95 maskscent.

A higher maskscent increases the duration, decreases the time to reapply if it is broken, and improves your chance of staying unseen. At +100 it takes me 20 seconds to reapply. At +125 with my clothing it takes 5 seconds. 15 seconds is a long time when you are surrounded by rancors...

Guys,

Seiryuu's got it right here.

That's what it does. And +25 is the max.

As far as effectiveness is concerned, as I understand it, a +100 MS score gives you a 95% chance of succeeding versus a certain baseline CL while prone. Any mods above that will never increase the percentage chance, but they will raise the baseline CL. Is this also correct?

Squib,

Right. You'll never be 100% successful.

what can a wookie do to mask scent?

can wookies wear bandoliers?

they can be enhanced.

thnx

Most wookie specific clothing, such as head wraps can also have mods applied to them pre-production, in the form of bioengineered tissues, even if they don't have pockets for skill tapes, I believe. Expensive way of going about it, but worth a try if you have a few 100k notes burning a hole in your pocket.

Just looked up the Bio-Engineering schematics at http://www.briancook.us/BE_Clothing.htmland some of the Wookie head-wraps would make wicked subjects for Bio-engineered tissue application. Have a look, and choose your wardrobe accordingly! Just make sure to see a Bio-engineer about the tissues before you see the tailor about the clothes!
