We have a lot of dark magics in the various game lines (Mortificant Magic and Flesh Sculpting both leap to mind)

My search-fu is failing me. Can you tell me what book Mortificant Magic is in?

Well, I'm pretty sure I specified wizard spells so I'm ignoring any Warlock only spells. What I was thinking of was Energy Field. I used to think it was useless, until I asked about it on the board and people explained that the AR of 4 meant that rolls above 4 did damage to the field, not that they...

I haven't read all the submissions so sorry if this is a duplication but how about something like the beginning of an ice age? The climate all over the world would change and places which were once considered habitable would then be too cold to permanently inhabit. A side effect could possibly be a ...

I don't have mages immune to their own magic, unless it specifically says they are. I wouldn't let a mage, for example, wander around inside his own Cloud of Slumber or Immobilize spell effect, or chortle happily after centering a River of Lava on himself (unless, you know, he's immune to it throug...

Thanks for the input all. Funny how some house rules we use we don't even realize are house rules because they've been in play so long.

Torval

Interesting drewkitty... This is the way it has always been played in my group. At least a handful of spell description, from memory, also mention that it does not affect the caster. I will admit that I have read the diabolist a few times so perhaps I am just fusing the diabolist blurb with the idea...

Or just take Wilderness Survival and Outdoorsmanship. Then just say, "Hey, GM, lemme get fletching so I can make my own arrows or another bow if mine breaks." Honestly, if you go down to Underwater Basket Weaving macro level, you're going to be a housemaid with good archery skills, not an...

I suppose let me phrase this a different way. To achieve the above idea of being self sufficient, using a ranger class, I am thinking of selecting the following skills for my primary and secondary selections. Primary Cook Fishing Sew Use & Recognize Poison General Repair Rope Works Holistic Med...

Apologies if this answer can be found somewhere on the forums already but my searches came up empty. After reading the spell "Seal", I have three questions. 1. At 4th level or higher, when sealing all windows, doors and enclosures - do you believe it also seals all items on the individuals...

I've always ignored the Trance times in my games; meditation is for replenishing one's energy, not focusing it for use in the first place. The Healer and the Shaman class were both hobbled with this build-up time.. For most psionics, we also ignore trance times(not talking about just healing abilit...

Torval

Very nice looking sheet. It has been a while since I've played but this seems to be missing a spot for Weapon Proficiencies. Was you intention for the player just to list that under skills?

I found this (from author?): IM DONE WITH MY NEW DEAD REIGN BOOK well alright! the first draft of my new book for Palladium Books Inc. is finished! It’s for the Dead Reign series: Palladium’s zombie apocalypse RPG. The book’s tentatively titled “Hell Followed” and that’s exactly what you’re going t...

A) Tell the GM that you appreciate the time and effort he or she has invested, but you're feeling confined. Politely ask if they could be a little more open to ideas from the other players and flexible with the direction of the story. Be prepared for them to be hurt and offended. B) Quit. Find a GM...

I only played 1E one time many years ago and never got to look through the book. I am always fascinated by the idea of the 1E healer from the many times it is mentioned on these forums as being superior to the 2E Psi-Healer. Can someone give a very high level summary of the types of healing the 1E h...

Torval

Well, if you're making a Ranger and not taking advantage of the ability to take a longbow, for shame! I think making a simple, crummy bow is maybe feasible, but I don't know how difficult it is to make a bow. -Vek "I can't even wrap a present much less make a bow." Thinking of a short bow...

Good Morning everyone. I am contemplating the skills needed to be taken by a character to be completely self sufficient while living in the remote wilderness. In this mental exercise, I am thinking about a ranger. Obviously many skills will be necessary such as being able to prepare food, treat woun...

I hope this isn't considered thread necromancy but I just wanted to give an update that I finally motivated myself to finish this article write up and sent it this week. Here is to hoping it gets accepted.

Torval

Good Morning All! I am turning to the community in hopes that you all can point me to some appropriate magic schools/mages in the megaverse OR tell me that nothing like this exists. I have tried to use the search function on the boards here quite a bit and haven't come up with any good results and ...

Usually in the ones I play in, not too much the ones I run.

When it does happen in the games you play, is it usually by player's actions or as a consequences of NPC actions?

Torval

Except, creatures vulnerable to silver are also vulnerable to magic weapons. However, if you truly want to deal damage, a crowbar or sledge hammer would be the preferred weapons... In any case, after several rounds of combat, the GM halted the game and asked the offending player if he even knew wha...

Fun story. Do you have a lot of dimensional teleporting in your PFRPG games?

For what it is worth, I prefer t-shirts in the following colors: Black, Red, Darker Blues, Dark Greys and different shades of green. In general though, I don't shy away from any particular colors. Question: Can the shirts simply be made in a print on demand fashion where the color of the t-shirt and...

I've never had a character over level 9 as far as I can remember. That being said, we don't actually use the EXP system. The GM just decides when it is appropriate for characters to level based on their actions(or inactions) within the campaigns. I know that is very vague but it works well as long a...

I always played soul drinking as the solve to regeneration/reincarnation. Soul is consumed by the Rune Weapon, you can resurrect/reincanate the body but all you are getting is digested soul poo as the erm . . . controlling force?, doing this can have bad repercussions. Some Rune Weapons destroy the...

Torval

A bag of holding for each appendage would be funny but would it actually work?

Torval

Soul Catcher from Hades is totally different from Soul Drinking Rune Weapons (Atlantis / BoM). The scant paragraph of information we get in Atlantis says devoured and imprisoned forever if they don't save or triple damage if they DO save. Wow, I actually agree with Witchcraft- write that one down.....

Torval

What are some creative ways that a Croval could hide their appendages? An oversized cloak could be used and the appendages arranged so that he looks like a hunch back. Edit: For anyone who doesn't know what I am referring to, please see The Land of the Damned 1: Chaos Lands starting on Page 64. They...

Torval

That's a really neat interpretation. I always regarded a soul drink as a kind of insta-kill, "I win, you die" attack. With the very essence of you consumed, the body (if not killed by the wound) becomes a vegetative husk. Such a husk could be a good candidate for a mental possession/trans...

Torval

I would like to get some clarity on soul drinking. Let's keep it simple. When your soul is taken via a soul drinking weapon, do you die? Some of my fellow gamers think so. I am of the opinion that you still are alive but without your soul. I don't have my books in front of me but I basically applied...

Torval

I suppose I'll search 8, 9 and 10.

Torval

I agree with Icefalcon on this one.

Icefalcon wrote:It all depends on how each of the sloucher is dressed. Is there any more info to go on?

I agree with Icefalcon. I can't tell you which ones I would search without more info.

Torval

There could be merit to either escape although something tells me that going into the sewers will offer more danger but also more opportunities for movement. Using the fire escape to go up may get me out of immediate danger but it could also leave me stranded on a roof to die of exposure, thirst, et...

Way back in the 90's, I helped a guy write a setting that I hosted on my website, it was called Metroplex. I still have all the files, and almost all of it was fleshed out before he stopped playing any games. I used artwork from a couple artists, with their permission, and wrote some of the rules a...

The second part. He hasn't even seen a dragon!

I have a Palladin dragonslayer. Other than good attributes he has lore magic, history, monsters etc. His main WP is polearms and he uses a voulge (reach and best damage) and needs a good horse. Has nothing magical just good quality equipment. This is more along the line of thought I was looking tow...

Very cool idea.

Just wanted to state that mine finally came in. I haven't had a chance to read a whole lot yet but I did skim quite a bit and so far, I think it is great. I really love the cover. It is definitely one of my favorite fantasy style covers from a Palladium book.

I signed up for the Rifter Subscription in early or mid January but it was before they announced that 61 would be shipping. I did select 61 as my starting issue. I still have not received it.

My first and immediate concern would be to get out of sight as quickly as possible. Whether I am faced with zombies or post Z-Day bandits, it is much easier to deal with them as little as possible. After that, I would quickly scavenge for anything to defend myself with in my immediate area. I don't ...

You make some good points but with all of that said, I will stick with my selections. I chose them for a reason and only I am fully aware of my skills, knowledge and experience. No argument here. I was not specifically indicating anyone. I was more stating an observation. I didn't feel targeted and...

Torval

It is interesting to see that for most people, they want the two weapons to start. They think it will be easy to stay feed and alive as long as they have their weapons. Interesting enough, I see a lot of this attitude in the game as well. It amuses me when the people can't feed themselves because t...

Thank you very much. I am considering working these new damages into my game.
