each class says under ISP recovery "Meditation increases ISP recovery by" fill in the blank. I've noticed that each psychic ability category has Meditation as a Psychic Ability. the Skill List has Meditation as a Technical Skill. do psychic classes automatically know how to Meditate to rec...

page 147 of the Splicer Corebook says that Biotics bio-regenerate at 1D6 MDC per round, but Bio-Regeneration: Basic, Enhanced, & Superior all say that Biotics can take the enhancement. isn't that a downgrade? why would one give them the enhancements?

the optional OCCs in palladium fantasy say they can have multiple occs. I don't understand how that works. I looked through the forums & found multiple links to the cutting room floor, but it gives me a 404 error when I click on it. so...how does Multiclassing work? experience wise, skill wise, ...

the new elective skills described on pages 40-44 have great description, but no actual Percentages for the skill usage. is that found elsewhere? like gem cutting, siege engineer, stalk/capture, etc. many of them are in the main palladium book, which makes me also ask: why are they also included here...

Kinghawke

the books state that creatures of magic & supernatural beings cannot be turned into vampires, but goblins skirt the line there. they keep talking about their "fellow faerie folk", but are they actually creatures of magic themselves?

Kinghawke

the creation looks great; but I need more explanation on Conventional Technology that has been made plague-proof & how that works. something isn't computing.

I can't find any information on it, but I personally use the Wizard exp table. another good option would be the Song Mage exp table in Rifter #18

Kinghawke

it has been a very long time since this thread was started, but quick question: for the T-Rex & the Allosaurus, it shows 2 different sets of damage for each mount. 2 different bite damage, kick damage, etc. which one should be used?

Kinghawke

okay so lets see....1 per two minutes, so 4 ppe /rd this equates to 32 PPE per 1 HP healed. If you keep using the song for a full hour, that's a total of 16 x 60= 720 PPE to actually play it for an hour. So like most magic, tragically inefficient. Not really. This is one of the most efficient spell...

Kinghawke

in Rifter #18, page 52, it talks about the song of Heal/Regenerate. it lasts 1 round, effects only last while the tune is completed, 4 PPE for each song duration. it regenerates at a rate of 30 HP per HOUR (1 every 2 MINUTES) plus 5 ISP &/or 5 PPE per HOUR while the song is played. How is this s...

Kinghawke

how does one use a character's run spd in combat? in pathfinder and D&D they have squares (5ft per square) with so many feet per movement.
as a GM, I'm having trouble figuring out how to keep track of how fast everyone runs around a board & how to tell distance for Palladium.

demihuman is nonsupernatural humanoids. it's a common fantasy term, but not mentioned in the books per se.

can demihumans like Bearmen, Trolls, Goblins, etc be turned into vampires?

the rifts ultimate edition states that dragon hatchlings start with math basic, language & literacy dragonese/elven, & possibly hand to hand dragon combat. looking specifically at the cat's-eye dragon: it states you can have 1 skill at +15% at lvl 1 from a special interest area. it lists: La...

when I loot the bodies of Hounds & Hunters (since the books don't say what happens to the bodies or weapons), how much could I get on the black market for darkweapon blades that can cut through anything?

Splicers is about in a nutshell: Humans can't touch metal so they're fighting Skynet equivalent with geneticically modified organic power armor & monstrous mounts. Skynet has multiple personalities & has trouble reaching all the human colonies who are also competing/fighting with each other.

It mentions 3 Spells: Hand of Stone, Magic Weapon, & Track. I can't find them in the Book of Magic, Palladium Fantasy, Rifts Corebook. Can't find them anywhere! anyone know where they are?

several books show Fairies as RCC's, but they say the vulnerabilities are "the standard vulnerabilities of fairies". what are they vulnerable to?

Kinghawke

bruce simply is lacking the heart/core. he could easily come up with anything else. he has superior tech, Tony just flaunts it more. two different worlds.

Kinghawke

Not sure what you mean by 'side' here. There aren't any clear cut sides. Zombies are (except when managed by Priests of Brulyx, Mock Zombies, Half-Dead or Zombie tamers/wranglers, etc.) pretty much a force of nature, and Nightbane are often part of factions with different aims or working solo. If y...

Kinghawke

true. they could take down alot of them. but this is assuming millions or billions of zombies, thousands upon thousands at a time. everything in the city could see them glowing. Nightbane can only fight for a finite amount of time, doing any strenuous activity (depending on how physically powerful t...

Kinghawke

which it doesn't say they are.

Kinghawke

when a Nightbane changes, how does one determine what happens to the clothing they are wearing, or is it up to the GM? I am hoping for a table or something I can find to roll on.

in Between the Shadows there is the Spook Squad sub-squad that eats the blood of Hounds becoming gradually crazier but stronger. their blood is highly addictive. if they have blood, they have organs. if they have organs, they breathe. if they breathe, they can be bloodbathed.

in one of the Rifters, there is the Mortificants, the zombie-creating mages in the Nightbane universe. a cult-town of them were bombed out of existence by the Nightlords via the military once the Resistance leaked info about their existence to the Nightlord government. however, since Nightbane can't...

Didn't this happen to Nightbane in Dark Conversions? Maybe it's just Nightbane in particular that new authors assume they know everything about.
