[BNW] [Matt...?] Gadgeteer "Power Armor" vs. Blasters, and Nullification

["Steve Crow" <crow_steve@hotmail.com>]

Actually, just as a note, besides the previously cited entry that seems to 
affirm that Gadgeteer's armor is a Power (i.e., it's subject to power 
nullification), two other things come to mind:

1) The problem isn't that Blaster PCs can ignore NPCs' Armorgeddon 
suits...it's that NPC Blasters can ignore a Gadgeteer PC's armor devices!  
They can already potentially get messed up by a Screamer (the rules seem to 
assume that all Gadgeteers build armor that would classify as anti-Screamer, 
but that's not clearly stated).

2) I'm a little unclear on the whole nullification thing mentioned in 
Ravaged Planet anyway.  So apparently Armorgeddon suits _can_ be nullified 
by power dampeners.  But the armor of the suits (and of the sample Gadgeteer 
suit on page 180) is just good old-fashioned 10/3, the same as a Steel Riot 
Shield.  So, is the armor of a suit nullified by power nullification 
devices?  What about the Triumph 300 (basically a slightly tinkered Colt 
M16A2) the Gadgeteer suit mounts?

I can see losing the flight and the strength, but will power nullification 
zap the pretty-much-standard gun and armor of the Armorgeddon and Gadgeteer 
suits as well?
