Yup. If you can kill a Titan, from "attack on Titan" anime, with a sword and grappling gear, then you can do it with satchel charges and grenades. Hell, look at the first Transformer Movie final battle for ideas!!

I think it is pretty reasonable to expect them to get upgraded to MDC damage. They still are not that potent vs anybody with MDC unless they have large numbers which is pretty in keeping with dead reign. One or two are rarely a problem its when they start moaning and you start getting 30-50 coming ...

If you want to get the complete skinny or just ask a question about the savage Rifts. I like both Palladium and that sight. The old sight is now an Archive so you can look at passed stuff as well

So of the books in which she's a factor at all, how many is she hardly mentioned in, and how many is she used heavily in? As I stated in my previous reply, she's used heavily (as in has a significant written passage) in about 55% of published books, Okay, so now I am left to believe that "she ...

Slade, I think you have some bad gouge on how radios, radar, and guidance on weapons systems work. First, quality signal strength is needed to broadcast over a long distance, without having to go to an FM/AM setup, especially when your dealing with large amount of normal atmospheric conditions. Anyt...

Great idea! Going a bit further, could ley-lines basically act as walls that stop EM transmissions, thus making each area incapable of contacting anything outside of that area? Another thing I do is put up kill sats in orbit (old one from Pre-RIFTS and new ones from Mutants in Orbit) that shoot dow...

Ok, my game is going great, my PCs have irritated both the Federation of Magic AND the Coalition, made friends with Native Americans and Vampires… But now, they are wandering around North America and I was hoping for a much more Post-Apocalyptic feel than the “glittering apocalypse” (as described h...

Just how many thousand-MDC horrors do you think Tolkeen is capable of? The necro spell Summon Magot for example... Just how many Magots are there.in the Msgaverse? At what point does a Lord of Hades wonder where all his minions went and comes to investigate? The CS also has range/speed advantage ov...

My head cannon has homemade 10-15 MDC armor pretty much anywhere you lave large MD creatures or MD ruins. Also common are shotguns with HEAT ammo, grenade launchers 40mm, Rifle Grenades WW II style, RPGs/panzerfausts, Explosive Arrows, and cutdown 1-3 shot .50 Rifles. All of them are pretty low tech...

Preservation of food is one of the reasons for civilization period. Jerking, salting, drying, and canning/jarring are pretty simple methods that have been around for a long time. How do you think mist people survived winter? Refrigeration has been around for centuries( cold storage rooms with thick ...

Or... okay, i know she's alive. (Because of Object Read, apparently. I haven't looked that up yet...i should...). Great. She's alive. Is she accessible? Do we even know where she is? Do we have any way of finding out where she is? Even if we knew where she was, could we get in and get her without c...

From the Explorer's Edition, page 85 If the Duration of a power has a second entry in parentheses, such as 3 (1/round), it means the power has a duration of 3 rounds and may then be maintained from round to round by spending the listed number of Power Points (1 in this case). Each power maintained ...

After the Rain of Death? Much harder to deal with all the Giant Cyborge Bodies, but orbital and Artilery would be more prevalent and you woundn't have to worry Rifts or Blue Zones. After Masters attack? Not as many dead bodies or Giant Zentran or Meltran, but lots of MD weapons and armor around. Dur...

Because Marines are cooler sounding than soldiers? Which scares you more? Imperial guard plattons or SPACE MARINES?

SLMH is used to power Mecha from the first and 2nd generation. This is Hydrogen in a really condensed form. If a mecha was converted to fusion, then I would have it also be able to convert water to slmh for use. Converting water to SLMH is no easy task. So far, scientists have yet to conclusively b...

I'm old school and yes there is a mystical aspect to both. But In tech PC is mainly used to short cut control systems problem areas.

In my games I made it real powerful. Psionics, shape changings, magic, superpowers plus made Mecha Bio-mechanical in nature, and breaking the laws of physics. Looks like with 2e they took most of it away. My previous thread was of changing PC to other power sources. Now I am asking how mystical do y...

I believe I'm going with a 1/2 penalty, rounding down and a minus 2 to all auto dodges. Also 50-80% of Range and/Ammo Everything will have PC enhanced, that are mecha or Energy weapon .

Kurseteller

.50 cal sabot DRI or 12gg HE shell.

Kurseteller

That kinda makes the Protoculture Targeter on the invid basically useless on Older Mecha, unless the energy weapons on them are considered Protoculture.

Kurseteller

What would be a good penalty for Mecha converted to fusion or IC engines? Say you wanted to convert a HVT to Fusion? Or a cyclone that is running on Fossil Feul?

Breetai beat the @#$#@% out Ricks Team, with his bare hands and a club. Stealth and surprise makes all kinds of things possible. Rick's team lost was in the position they were in not because of melee weapons but because they ran out of ammo. Nope, they ran out of gun pod ammo, they still had missil...

Kurseteller

Yes, but would you rather have the CADS or have a weapon that didn't put you at such risk to use? All weapons put you at risk. If your trying to aim, then your not dodging or parrying effectively. Plus there is a cinematic quality of cool in the palladium/ robotech/macross shows that allow for that...

Kurseteller

Unfortunately, by writing the last book first and not taking proper care to compare the weapons stats to each other we've ended up with a bit of a mess that even adding a third level of damage isn't going to fix. I think there were also some game mechanics issues as well. I'm not trying to be an as...

knife.... gun fight... the only "Melee" weapons i could see in the setting would be "tools" that can be used as a weapon of last resort. (Like the Entrenching tool i have, could double as a axe-like weapon) i could see a Vibro-blade or Plasma Torch being equiped on a mecha that ...

Why are there any Melee Weapons for the Mecha in Robotech? If you run out of ammo a Melee Weapon would come in handy (melee weapons have no ammo). I seen a Valkyrie with a knife in Macross Frontiers, I seen this on myspace. Its the unfortunate 'cool' factor that fails to realise you never bring a k...

I saw in the series that the Metal siren could take out capitol ships by itself. It could generate a ship killing energy field reminicent of the shield failure than killed ontario in the Macross Saga. That might be why it's considered an attack mecha.

If it works for your setting..... Melee weapons in the confines of ship is very cinmatic and appropriate to the genre. We already know a species that uses HTH in combat, the Invid. And they are very viciouse. Also the CADS cycone is also euiped even in the shadow cronicles. A Bayonet attachement to ...

There may be a way to have a safe, clean fission reaction. What if the late 21st century has a way of turning lighter elements into heavier element and making the radioactive after the process.

Usually I don't, but I play with an edge of realism in my games. It add a bit of spice when I an describe a well maintained but dingy, pistol compared to shiny nonworking Rifle.
