User:Kastera1000/Texas' overcoat

Texas' overcoat  is a unique piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The overcoat used to be just that: an overcoat. It was a simple leather duster provided to Texas by the Alamosa Trading Company. It didn't provide much protection from bullets, but it did protect from sandstorms and heat stroke. While en route to a stop in Wyoming, he got to fiddling around with the coat and fit it with lightweight steel plates he found when scavenging. He used the plates and lined the inside of the coat for better protection. He later stitched more leather on top of the plating to disguise it as a normal leather duster with no one the wiser.

Characteristics
The overcoat provides a Damage Threshold of 20, but weighs only 10 pounds. The overcoat is also able to withstand more wear and tear than a suit of combat armor. The material under the coat allows for the skin to breathe and not sweat too much underneath allowing the wearer to work harder, run faster, and jump higher without getting fatigued. The overcoat also gives a boost to the wearers Charisma, given the original wearers' high profile.

Location

 * The overcoat is worn by Theodore "Texas" Calhoun, sheriff of Coyote Bluff. Good luck trying to get it from him.
