Here is a post concerning conversions from PEG's side of things. They state sometime after the first of the year. They state that they currently plan on doing it via Kickstarter. Also, they utilize Kickstarter to great effect, and here is an example of their sci-fi setting, The Last Parsec , that t...

and technically; the +1 is actually more fair to the defender since by RAW defender always wins ties. Truth be told, I don't understand this logic. As you stated, a +1 to strike or a -1 to defense is mathematically the same. As such, the chances for a tie would remain the same. So let's say...

Damian, the reason I don't like bonuses is because you could still miss a feint, even if your opponent was wide open and it doesn't necessarily have to rely on the attacker rolling a 1. That's all I'm saying. It's a small thing, but I think it's important. Not everyone (PC and NPC alike) has +4 or ...

Damian Magecraft

Naw, I'm up for discussion. It's not the end all answer, this mechanic, but I like the idea and I really want to eliminate extra rolling. If that's what you have to add, I'll take it under consideration. And yeah, it's not very Palladium. I think Damian had a good one, though I don't like the idea ...

Damian Magecraft

why should I? You should only get excited about a Palladium announcement when its on the shelves. since you missed it... It is NOT a PB product. It is a Pinnacle Entertainment Group (the guys who make Savage Worlds) product. Pinnacle licensed the Rifts IP for conversion into their house system (Sav...

Damian Magecraft

Gotta agree with Razorwing.
If Aliens Ulim, Powers Unlim, & Hardware Unlim are deemed as warranted then so to is a Magic Unlim (and perhaps a Special Training Unlim as well).

If its anything like the movie, we should get this in 2045. Didn't bother to read up thread did you? I have seen the manuscript (and played the game) it is ready to go. Pinnacle has said 1st quarter 2016. They are fairly reliable about announcements of that nature. So your trollish comment is unwar...

Damian Magecraft

I'm actually curious, once this comes out, how will this affect the No Conversions rule? Will conversion from the Palladium system to Savage Worlds be allowed, or not? Other than that, I'm really excited about this game and I can't wait to get ahold of it. We will probably have to walk a fine line ...

Damian Magecraft

Ok here is my take on it. New combat maneuver: Feint: Restrictions: takes two actions to preform. may only be preformed once per melee. Provides: a +1 strike bonus at levels 1, 4, 7, 10, & 13. An exceptional MA (16 to 30) can provide additional bonuses on the following scale: 16 -18: +1 19 - 21:...

Between the two of you, if I combine your answers, I get: "the power doesn't discriminate, it'll figure out how to bleed your precious, precious ISP no matter what." But seriously, that's curious. So how sudden does danger have to be? Say you set the bomb on the plane, but you had to boar...

Damian Magecraft

Would sixth sense warn you of something you recognize as danger already? Like, you see a sign, but your not literate, you walk into a mine field, sixth sense triggers. Though if you were literate, would it warn you before you step into the area or only when you are about to more immediately step on...

Damian Magecraft

RAW: upto 60 seconds before the bomb explodes.

Clairvoyance/precognition could warn of the "possible" danger minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or even years in advance.

Damian Magecraft

I have so many different ones (constantly play testing "tweeks"). Here are a few that are pretty much standard in every game I run. Skill restrictions only apply a character creation. Any skill may be learned in game as long as the following conditions are met. (These only apply to skills ...

It's just another "only in Tuesdays and if you wore boxers instead of briefs" example of mechanics. When you lose memories, do you lose skills? How can the copy of yourself do anything you can if all it has is your memories and hasn't gained any experience? I do see an interesting quandar...

it's totally an issue, just not one they wanted to deal with. It is only an issue if you choose to make it one. That's correct after a fashion.

If you know the material and have a mature understanding with your players, you aren't going to have issues with them sneaking powers in there. They should understand it's your call.

Damian Magecraft

That I offered an explanation does not mean there is only one option. Your GM can, if you so wish, limit you to piloting only one type of boat if that fits your background. Yet I would have to wonder why you would want to, PC's being the doers of the RPG world and all. It doesn't make sense to be l...

Damian Magecraft

Yes, if you want to make a fine enough distinction you can. But then we could have Knitting as a separate skill from Sewing too. In game terms, Acrobatics, Gymnastics and Tumbling are close enough that they could be rolled into a single skill. The same could be said for all piloting... Funnily enou...

Damian Magecraft

I just hate the IDE of having those type skills. When exactly do you use them? In the ones we have now do we roll it for each move? Do we roll it for the "difficult" moves? How do we determine "difficult" moves? Do we only roll it for the entire performance? If there is a series...

Damian Magecraft

If Palladium had taken that approach we wouldn't have Acrobatics and Gymnastics (and Tumbling). If you want a skill that is not Acrobatics or Gymnastics to represent Parkour, I'd say Tumbling from PFRPG book 3 is your go to. And if they had we might not have the skill bloat that exists now. (After ...

Damian Magecraft

The problem with creating a new skill is first you have ask "will this skill provide anything new to the system." "Can this be replicated by use of existing skills?" "Who will be able to access this skill?" And imo parkour is not justified to be a new skill. Either acro...

Damian Magecraft

The way I do it...
Is a called shot imposes a +4 difficultly (need an 8 to hit), costs 2 actions, and is an all or nothing proposition (a missed called shot is a straight up miss).

This prevents players from abusing the called shot.
