Hanging up your BEAST Suit.

A small flavor update for the B.E.A.S.T class:

There is now a new base ability in SUITTECH, simply called SUIT. If you're ever tired of walking around in your massive, weapon-of-mass-destruction exoskeleton, you can now SUIT LEAVE to step out of your suit and leave it behind (This will actually create a suit item in the room). You may then SUIT ENTER to get back into the action, provided your suit is in the room. Fear not, you cannot lose your suit and you may always SUIT RECALL to have it come back to you.

Additionally, since you are completely obscured by the suit while wearing it, your description will not be visible to anyone who looks at you (this only affects the freeform description visibility). Likewise, your BEAST suit description will not be visible while you are out of the suit (remember that you can CUSTOMIZE CLASS SUIT <description> to set a custom suit desc).

This is -mostly- a flavor skill and should be treated as such. I say mostly because while you are out of your suit, you cannot use any of your class abilities. While SUIT ENTER|LEAVE|RECALL all require balance to use, there is no balance cost associated with using them, so you shouldn't be at a disadvantage if you need to quickly recall and enter in battle.
