While it's still named wrong, I adore the versatility and options you have with the Eugenics class. With the right budget you can have a whole lot of fun making an over the top hero... or they can be a guy with cool eyes.

I think you could change the wings etc with shapechanger, but as soon as the Mimic duration runs out you're not going to have nearly enough lift to fly with them anymore. Though based on the Shapechanger description in the HU2 book you shouldn't be able to keep the wings at all without the Mimic pow...

Yeah that was always something that bugged me in the game and something I tweaked in my games.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

Yeah, not sure I'm a fan either, they all are a little to colorful for me.

For now I'm using "ColoredLight" because it seems to take a bit better advantage of a wide screen as opposed to Prosilver.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

Yeah not at all.

I'd also add that you have lots of people getting higher PP by becoming full borgs. You can have straight 3s in your physical attributes, but that doesn't matter if you've become a full conversion borg. I definitely agree that Crazy and Juicer are the main ways to increase PP. I did come up with on...

Daniel Stoker

Though I remember the Lone Ranger show where he used silver bullets because they flew straiter. From what I remember it was more because the high cost in firing a gun and the potential for killing someone with a gun. As to the original topic, wouldn't it be harder for the silver bullet to take adva...

Daniel Stoker

I'll say no as while there are more magic users etc in the world, the power of magic there is the same as in HU. I wouldn't make Underwater Abilities a major if suddenly the players found themselves on Waterworld and I don't think there is a need to for Immune to Magic.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

Yeah I'd have to go case by case for that in my game (or see what your GM says). Going strictly by the wording you're kinda borked there... though it would be interesting to have it as a kind of Lo-Pan from Big Trouble in Little China where you continue to age when you're not transformed but just wo...

I'm a lot late, but I'll send what Sir Spirit said.

Thanks for posting that Stone Gargoyle!

Well there are a bunch of 'fixes' different people have done here for this, but it's a matter of which one you like because sadly it doesn't look like it's every going to be addressed by Palladium. For me, I revamped both ISP and PPE regeneration in my games so that 6-8 hours of meditation or 12 hou...

Daniel Stoker

On Warshield's idea of something for item creation, I'd say the easy solution would be a level 7 or so version of Talisman and or Create Magic Scroll, limited to charging items with low-cost spells. Items which have daily charges are arguably a bit much in a megaversal context, particularly when on...

Daniel Stoker

See I thought this wouldn't be giving any free actions. He'd have the spell cast and everytime he chooses he can then use on of his actions to attack with an energy bolt. Was that not the case Mr Scorpio?

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

I'm not sure about the cost as assuming 4 attacks per melee you would be able to shoot 12 Energy Bolts at level 3 which would normally cost you 60 PPE but this is a steal at only 25. And it's only going to get 'worse' as you continue to level up... My thought is maybe add a way for the spell to be d...

Daniel Stoker

Glad to help 1. It would work and definitely be better then nothing. 2. I'd think Flight Wingless and Sonic Flight would allow you to as neither mentions an altitude ceiling. 3. I mean it'd depend? APS Fire would be SOL in a vacuum, Ice would be fine unless you got into the sun where it would start ...

Daniel Stoker

1. I can't see why both flight powers wouldn't work there but wingless flight is going to be very slow in getting much of anywhere unless you increase the rate once they're in a vacuum. 2. Based on the way the power reads and as since you can only glide on an Earth gravity planet, I don't see how it...

Daniel Stoker

Maybe go with something like PU-3 power Bio-Aura? It says "Complex weapons and equipment, like firearms, energy weapons, electronics and mechanical devices do NOT change with the super being, but neither are they harmed by a transformation." so by the book you can argue it would still be t...

Daniel Stoker

See I tend to think that too, but <points to bio-manipulation> apparently you can per the rules when it's dealing with the brain.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

Yeah, it's odd that that gets a savings throw when it's a physical 'attack' but moving someone's leg wouldn't. But again it's Palladium and the rules are kinda all over the place. Disassembling a gun seems like something that'd be hard to do quickly, let alone with TK and I'd think would be somethin...

Daniel Stoker

You'd THINK it affects the mind, but as per the description of the power "The psychic is able to induce physical trauma to the nervous system of others by sheer force of will and psychic energy." This came up waaaay back when in a thread about Invulnerability and a Psi-Sword and it's one o...

Daniel Stoker

I mean yes that house rule would work too? But like with being picked up one of the reasons I like dodge over save vs psionics is why would Mental Endurance help you resist being picked up? Though it works against Bio-Manipulation which actually 'touches' the brain, so what do I know?

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

You can lift someone with Telekinesis Super so that's an issue, but also how would you make a contested strength check like you talk about? What's the PS of the TK attack? Does it count as regular strength or super human or supernatural? Sadly Palladium's rules don't make that clear.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

Yeah that's one of the issues with the system. I've usually allowed a dodge with negatives because it's an invisible attack in my games.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

The Instinctual Fighting seems pretty good there, but I have to admit the Mimetic Reflexes power with all it's book keeping needed makes my skin crawl. Doesn't mean you didn't do a good job, but I'd be really hesitant to pull that into my game.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

*nods* So it's modular in the way that the part of the magic Item that was made out of the rifle body is just a projector that "launches" whatever spell input comes into it (& maybe giving it a range boost.) While the spells come from a storage (magazine) magic item, or maybe addition...

Daniel Stoker

My understanding of the idea... ""the magazine enchants the bullets put into it when bullets leave it to be fired by a mundane firearm. with the spell taking effect once it hits a target/something."" short answer: can't be built with just the spells in the rifts books. What is n...

So I was talking with a friend about making a Techno Wizard and trying to work out some ways to play with the system.

Thank you Reagren.

Outside of making everything SDC I don't think I'd depower them at all for my games.

Daniel Stoker

It's close-ish, but obviously doesn't have the 'reverse' part I was considering as well. Thank you for adding this though Stone Gargoyle as I do like the other effects idea.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

My thought was you could use the time powers on the wounded body part to take it back in time to before it was wounded. Or that's the techno-babbly justification at least.

So been watching to much Doctor Who and other cheezy sci-fi and I was thinking of a minor power of Energy Expulsion but have the energy be time. The basic damage is easy enough, I was assuming 1D6 + 1d6 per level ... but I was thinking since it's temporal energy why not allow it to work either way, ...

Prowl's been a pretty consistent pick in most of my games too.

How would you get both the Psionics and the Major power?

The being said I like a lot of the ideas though for some reason I thought Machine Meld or Mechano Link, but both could work.

Daniel Stoker

So in my game I'm working on an NPC to not be an antagonist, but to be a thorn in their side, someone who's also working on the case but has contempt for the group and can end up hindering or helping them depending on what they need to help move the story along or slow them down. So I recently ran a...

I'm actually thinking of having Lego Lass broken out of jail/kidnapped by the Muscle for the bad guy to give them a trail to follow if they don't find my other clues.

So little update, in last night's game the Speedster has been trying to win over Lego Lass to their side as they were being driven to the police station and convince her to give up who hired her for her job and to join them and possibly the Super Hero group they're freelancing for. The character is ...

Daniel Stoker

Oh she's definitely coming back it depends too if the speedster manages to woo the character or not as tonight he's riding with her back to the police station to try and get info from her.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

Well they're all level one and she had some REALLY bad rolls against a flying brick.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

I actually went with a 'cheat' version of Create Force Fields where she was limited to lego items but I made them a lot stronger then they would normally be. Sadly she didn't get a chance to make her Lego car before they were able to knock her out/capture her.

Daniel Stoker

Daniel Stoker

Hmmm... more decisions, but thank you guys for the ideas.
