Can a psi-stalker feed while in power armor?

Unread post by kmspade »

Can a Psi-Stalker who say, works for the CS and thus is able to pilot power armor, feed while in said power armor?

Perhaps they can feed but just don't get as much PPE from it, because of the EBA properties of the PA. Or can they just pop the helmet off and have no problems?

Please provide book and page references if you cite canon rules. Thanks!

While I don't know of any specific cannon rules covering the situation you just laid out for us, I would say yes depending on how much MDC the Main Body had. IIRC, the RUE says that psionic powers can affect people in body armor and light power armors (power armors with Main Body of less than 250 MDC), so a Psi-Stalker piloting a Striker SAMAS suit would not be able to feed while in it.

I'd say popping the helmet off will suffice.

The same reasons why a power armor suit prevents a mage from casting a spell while in the suit would do the same to a PPE vampire attempting to feed while in a PA suit.

So like PJ said, remove the helmet and the psi-stalker can feed.
