I saw a YouTube video tonight about why ion weapons weren't used in the Clone Wars. You'd think they'd make perfect sense. There were some cannon reasons (range, accuracy, cost, etc) but it got me thinking, if an untrained person wore Trooper armor they have a DEX penalty. So I figure that means it's powered in some way because the Troops don't suffer that penalty. So what happens when they get hit with an ion attack? Does their armor shut down and they become immobile? Do they walk like cosplayer in a full suit? What about their helmets and comm systems?
Side question, how hard would it be to get something like chemical weapons past their armor. Nothing like a war crime strength weapon, something like tear gas, itching powder, or capsicum (the chemical that gives chilies their bite)? How good are their boots when stepping in engine lube (or other kind of lube but we won't get specific)?
