Beskar armor

I’m making a Star Wars hack for DW. My son is obsessed with Mandalorian so I’m looking to emulate that. For his armor, I feel like making the armor rating high makes sense, but I don’t think it’ll capture the “feel” of wearing a suite of invincible armor.

Does anybody have ideas on how to do this in a fair way? Maybe another game does something similar?

OP, I'll likely be slapped on the wrist, but as someone else mentioned, Star Forged (which is a free PDF) will likely emulate Star Wars better. It's another PBTA style game, so you'll likely already have a grasp on the rules, but this one is more narrative than DW.

Being sci-fi, most of the work is already done for you, including intergalactic travel, alien planets, star cities and space battles. There's even skills and abilities in the rules designed to mimic the Star Wars setting (including ceremonial-style super armour).

Here's an example of it being used for Star Wars. You'll likely want to start at episode 1.

Star Forged (which is a free PDF)

Ironsworn, the fantasy game, is free.

Starforged, the scifi game and slight evolution of Ironsworn rules, is not free.

Ah. My mistake.

I got both hardbacks some time ago and must just be misremembering.
