**: Most everyone knows that Power Armor cannot prowl, under normal circumstances right? Well when you start
getting into the lighter frames such as the Ninja and the Gunslinger it is somewhat possible to prowl, allowing
true espionage types of power armor. (-10% Ninja, -25% Gunslinger) Now with that in mind, one might ask, why
can't the heavier types then prowl as well? Simple, they are too big, bulky, and heavy. The constant sounds of
metal clanking, and hum of electronics is a dead give away, however there is an exception to this rule, as in a
normal combat setting, there are explosions, rail gun fire, missles flight, jet thrusters screaming, as well as the
sizzling of laser fire ripping through adversaries, and the screaming of fallen men, this all can be used to the
advantage of a power armor pilot, allowing them a chance to sneak up on his enemies flanks, at a -10%, (The ninja
and gunslinger in this setting have no negatives at all.) however if you start adding additional armor to it as well,
the negative can accumulate to a whopping -45% for the heaviest types, virtually impossible to prowl at all!!
