Actual Armor Upgrade Slots Errata
Close, but not quite:
- Normal (non-powered) armor - 1 upgrade slot
- Powered armor - 2 upgrade slots
- Beskar’Gam - 2 upgrade slots
- Mandalorian Neo-Crusader light armors - 2 upgrade slots + Integrated Equipment upgrade (2 pieces of equipment)
- Mandalorian Neo-Crusader medium/heavy armors - 2 upgrade slots + Integrated Equipment upgrade (5 pieces of equipment)

Armor and Upgrade Slots Errata
The armor thing is a result of KOTOR and S&V being in the works at the same time, with KOTOR using an earlier draft of S&V’s modification rules.
Things were further complicated when I noticed that the original definition — “1 slot for normal armor, 2 slots for powered armor” — depended on something that doesn’t exist in Saga: “Powered armor” is no longer a separate category, and it is never defined in the rules. (Also, it is conceptually problematic: If you consider Stormtrooper armor to be “powered,” as the earlier editions did, could you make any armor “powered” by adding a helmet package?)
I proposed an alternative — “1 light, 2 medium, 3 heavy” — and put that in my edited copy of Chapter 2. At the time, I didn’t know that KOTOR was already using the “powered armor” wording, and it appears that by the time this inconsistency was noticed, it was too late to change KOTOR to match. So, some time after it left my hands, they went back to the original version (note how the armors in Chapter 2 specifically point out “this is powered armor” on everything that is), but they apparently missed the reference on page 37.
So, here’s how it should work:
- Scum & Villainy page 37: In the second paragraph under Upgrade Slots, replace the second sentence with the following: “Unlike most armor, powered armor has two free upgrade slots.”
- Definition: Armor counts as “powered armor” if it is specifically described as such, or if some variation of the word “power” appears in its name (such as a Corellian powersuit).
As of right now, I think this is a complete list of powered armor:
- Saga Edition core rulebook: Corellian powersuit
- Scum & Villainy: GTU-1C Combat Armor; GTU-1S Scout Armor; Krail 210 Personal Armor.
- Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide: Battle Armor, Light Powered; Battle Armor, Powered; Battle Armor, Heavy Powered. (Mandalorian Armor is not powered armor, but it gains extra upgrade slots due to its design.)
Speaking of Mandalorian Armor, the number of upgrade slots will almost certainly be reduced a bit because this was probably meant to make it possible for Mandos to carry a lot of cool gear built into their armor (as the Fetts do). However, the original version of the S&V customization rules were not quite so “gadget friendly,” in that the Integrated Equipment modification took 1 slot and only added 1 piece of gear. Since the rewritten version allows up to 10 pieces of integrated equipment but only takes up 1 or 2 upgrade slots, all those extra slots are unnecessary (and just a tad unbalancing, given all the other possibilities in S&V).
I think the most likely change is where all Mandalorian armor provides two upgrade slots, like the Beskar’gam in S&V. In addition, all Mandalorian armor in KOTOR has built-in integrated equipment slots: 2 for the light armors (Neo-Crusader Light Armor and Mandalorian Combat Suit), 5 for the medium and heavy armors (Mandalorian Battle Armor and Neo-Crusader Assault Armor). This fits the spirit and intent of the original version.

No Automated Weapons in Armor
There is a paragraph about autonomous weapon mounts in Scum And Villainy, but Rodney has since clarified that it was left in by mistake. They were going to have a mechanic for weapons that fire by themselves at some point, then removed it, but one paragraph referring to it got left in by mistake.

Powered Armor
This won’t be exact, but we can determine roughly what makes armor powered rules-wise. From the description of the powered armor in the KotOR CG, all powered armor comes with a free helmet package and has two free upgrade slots. They also have their armor bonus to Reflex defense reduced by one, cost a few thousand credits more and weigh about 1-2 kg more. For example, a normal set of medium battle armor costs 7,000 credits and has +8 armor, +2 equipment, weighs 16 kg and, as medium armor, has 2 upgrade slots. Reduce the armor bonus to +7, increase the weight to 17 kg, add two upgrade slots and a helmet package and then increase the cost by 4,000 credits and you now have powered medium battle armor. Heavy powered armor follows the same rough formula, as does light powered armor (though it only costs 3,000 credits extra). If you wanted a powered version of any armor, first reduce its armor bonus by 1. Then add 1-2 kgs of weight, include a helmet package and 2 upgrade slots. Finally, increase the cost by 3,000-4,000 credits (maybe 3k for light armors, 4k for medium and heavy armors). While this isn’t a perfect method at all, it does give you a guideline to follow.
