55 Minor Armor Upgrades by Owen K.C. Stephens is a role playing game supplement published by Rite Publishing for use with Starfinder. As such, it is covered by the Open Game License and some parts are considered to be Open Game Content as a result.
The supplement is available from DriveThruRPG as a 10-page PDF for $2.95 but was purchased at a reduced price as part of a special bundle. One page is the front cover, one the front matter, one an ad and one the Open Game License.
The Introduction starts with explaining how to read the entries. It states that the upgrades are so insignificant they are presented in a simplified format, as they don’t alter the rules about an armour suit unless stated otherwise. Anyone who can craft a suit of armour can craft an armour mod at full cost in 8 hours. Armour can have one minor upgrade without using an upgrade slot but after that one upgrade slot is expended for every to minor upgrades.
The bulk of the supplement is the upgrades list. These are, as stated, minor. There are such things as improved manoeuvrability, cameras, more ammo storage, mirrors, carrying cases and more in that vein. There is also a table listing the upgrades together with their percentage cost.
55 Minor Armor Upgrades in Review
The PDF has the sections bookmarked, though it is so short that they aren’t needed. Navigation is good. The text maintains a two-column full colour format and the most noteworthy error was referring to the mods as being for weapons, not armour, in the Introduction at one point. The single graphic is a full-page reproduction of the cover. Given the length, presentation is very good.
This is exactly what it says; 55 minor upgrades for armour, some more useful than others. It may be doubtful that characters will want to start using up full upgrade slots on these, but adding one minor upgrade without any problems is useful. 55 Minor Armor Upgrades is a nice little supplement and it can be found by clicking here.
