Light Pressure Suit

A suit designed to be able to move nimbly in hostile environments, particularly the depths of space.

The light pressure suit is typically a thin skintight bodysuit with layered armored scales, though it is equally capable in deep sea expeditions and other places of extreme pressure and temperature. The suit is airtight and layered with insulation and pockets of gas to compensate for pressure, with a backpack connected to an air supply and rebreather unit that can keep its user alive with breathable air for a limited time, and a long lasting battery to power the mechanical systems within. It comes with a helmet with a wide angle golden visor which can be made completely opaque to the outside.

The light pressure suit prevents any pressure damage from high pressure situations or vacuums. You also benefit from an extraordinary endure elements effect. If the helmet is on, the suit is airtight, preventing gases and liquids from affecting you. If the helmet is replaced by anything, the suit cannot be made airtight until the helmet is replaced. It is possible of course to simply enhance the current helmet as a magic item of its own. When airtight, breathable air lasts for 8 hours before the user begins to suffocate. The suit can be placed into oxygen saving mode, and the air supply will last 3 times as long (24 hours) but the user will be constantly staggered due to the low amount of air.

Donning a light pressure suit takes the same time as donning a chain shirt.

If the character has some help, cut this time in half. A single character doing nothing else can help one or two adjacent characters. Two characters can't help each other don armor at the same time.
