N18 Displacer Field Modifiers?

[Autografitti]

Hi all! I've been reading up on displacer fields as something that I might be able to give my Death Maidens as a way to give them an opportunity to get in closer to the enemy on a lucky scatter roll. My question is two part:

1. Are the displacer fields affected buy Ap modifiers from enemy attacks?
2. If they are, would that also get the benefit of positive modifiers, like a body glove or armored undersuit?

Thanks for the help!

In short, no and no. Ap doesn't reduce the displacer field save and an armored undersuit doesn't add to it.

Phenomenal! That is what I thought but wanted to be 100% sure before I pulled the trigger on picking any up. Thanks for helping me clear this up.

Game has a wide variety of save types. Fields are specifically and consistently unmodifiable, that excludes everything from negative AP to positive AP (hey club) to save modifiers. Other saves are less consistent and the wording seem more or less random. I've summarized it as follows:

• Bonus: A save that can be used in addition to the normal save (and in addition to other bonus saves).
• Unmodifiable by AP: Count the attack as having AP ‘-’.
• Irreducible by AP: Can't be reduced by AP.
• Irreducible: Can't be reduced by any modifiers.
• Unmodifiable: Can't be modified in any way.
• Invulnerable: An unmodifiable save that can always be made regardless of any special rules that would normally ignore the save. If successful, the hit counts as missed (completely ignored).

Topsy, can you give examples of which pieces of equipment/armor provide which type of save?
