So, which Rifts sheet is the most detailed that still works? Sorry, I'm not trying to be lazy or anything, but I'm Visually Impaired so it's hard for me to read CS with my screen reader, but my players are chomping at the bit for a better, more detailed and complete sheet than the ones that are offi...

Holy Crapsnacks Tiree! That's AWESOME! Literally. I am in awe! You just made my life a whole lot easier! It's pretty up to date too. I know it's at least updated to World Book 32, so that's pretty great! Thanks for this!

nero2137

Well flatline, I'd planned on a World/Dimension spanning game where the characters meet new and interesting RCCs and OCCs weekly. When they go to, say, Russia, I'd whip out some Russian specific CCs. So, to me, or to a player and ST as OCD as me, a list like this would worth...well, a lot of time. S...

nero2137

Ugh. You're telling me BL, your telling me. I seriously sifted through EVER Rifts book or Rifts related book INCLUDING the Rifters. Anything that could possibly be used in Rifts. It even had notes, book and page number. I value it a great deal because now I'm going to have to take the time to DO IT ...

Thanks drewkitty, but I'd found the thread already. I'm looking for the actual document. The link isn't working and I would have posted on it but it's locked as well. Do you by any chance still have it? I'd love to get my hands on it again so I can update and use it. Thanks in advance!

So, about 2 years ago, I wrote up a huge Masterlist of OCC/RCC/PCC. It included name, book and page number. I'm thinking of starting a new Rifts game, but that list would be invaluable. It seems to have become elusive however. The Thread is Locked and the file is gone no ideas as to why, but I assum...

Once canon, always canon? Do you believe this is true of all mediums or just Palladium RPGs? As a comic book reader and avid movie/T.V. watcher, I have to say, this idea is anathema to me. Heck, as a player/runner of RPGs this is baffling, but I grew up with World of Darkness which always had a spec...

nero2137

Just a couple things off the top of my head. I believe that P.P.E. clips are first mentioned in South America book One. It states there that ANYONE can use the clips to power TW items, BUT on a TW or special Pyramids can recharge the clips. Second, why discuss pre-retconned material as canon? I unde...

nero2137

Eliakon, yes, yes it does. Thank you for clearing all that up sir!

nero2137

OR perhaps they consider anyone with sufficient PPE to be "mystically oriented" while not actually stating they need to be able to cast spells. As it states, the only requirement seems to be PPE (or ISP) to be used to power the device. We could go further with pg. 126 and say that it speci...

nero2137

That Rifter 41 stuff is EXACTLY what I was looking for! That along with the Canada/Mercs info will suit me just fine. Thanks guys and/or girls!

nero2137

I was going to make a snarky remark about reviewing books not memorizing them, but it seems I have been beat to the punch.

I like your editing there Morik. Would want people's feelings hurt.

nero2137

Yet another thing RUE changed then, establishing it as a new dimension apart from the established Main Rifts continuity. It's my understanding that the latest rules are the rules to use, thus, the OLD Rifts main book isn't a different dimension so much as just an outdated book that isn't considered...

nero2137

Nice! I knew about the Anti-Monster, but the other stuff is neat. That's what I was looking for. Thanks! If anyone finds any others, please let me know!

nero2137

I thought for sure someone would have asked before me, but I searched to no avail: Are there TW 'Borgs? I want to say I remember them in a book, but that may just be wishful thinking! I know there are TW Crazies and TW Juicers...so I'm guessing it's somewhere and I'm just missing it. Anyway, thanks ...

nero2137

Yup,Eliakon is correct. Rifts UE, pg. 132 under ISP Alternative to PPE: "Actually, anybody with sufficient PPE or ISP can use a TW device. This is an inherent aspect of ALL Techno-Wizard machines, and is ALWAYS the case unless a TRIGGER LOCK is used (requiring the proper spell to be cast)."...

nero2137

Yeah, I can't see any reason why they wouldn't be able to use TW Objects. They just have sooooo much P.P.E.!

nero2137

So, no Australia 2 or Middle East because of the religion of actual living people but we got the Spirit West book? As a Native American, I find that perplexing. Don't get me wrong, I like the book, I wasn't offended, but I know of some Elders that wouldn't have thought it was very endearing or accur...

nero2137

We have a long standing rule that the gamers in our area use. If half the players are missing, game is called, round up. If not, game goes on, with the missing player's character doing something in the background, however, there's a chance of death IF one of the attending characters dies, i.e., they...

Found it. Nightbane Survival Guide, pg. 101

"Talents are unlike any other ability in Palladium's
role-playing games. While powered by P.P.E., they are not
spells. Nor are they psionics or super abilities."

nero2137

Note to self: NPC assassin Water Warlock that specializes in toilet murder.

That's even better than the Vampire Humidifier Death. Thanks!

nero2137

I'll find you the book and page when I get a chance. I'm not saying that there aren't strong indications that some of the writers felt they should be magic, I'm just saying one of the books says they're not. One of the greatest cons (and also one of the biggest pluses IMO) is the sheer number of boo...

nero2137

Heehee.

Killing a Vampire with a Humidifier. That's the best thing EVER.

nero2137

For the record, it was said, specifically. that Nightbane talents are neither Magic nor Psionics. Not that it matters for people just sucking PPE out of people, just a note. Generally, I go by XP to determine if a character is the right "balance" for my games. Nightbane are in the highest ...

nero2137

I'm actually starting a Rifts game soon and my idea for the campaign is summed up in one word: Crime! Well, I guess it's not all going to be Crime! but for the most part, outside of Bounties, I'm going with Crime!. There are just WAY to many places for PC to rob for them not to. It should be fun, I'...

nero2137

(For the record, when I say or hear "Rifts" I think "Rifts Earth") Just because they're in the Conversion book does not make them Rifts characters. They're Nightbane characters that got a conversion. They come from their own Dimension which is not the Rifts Earth Dimension. The s...

nero2137

While that's neat concept, breaking the classes down further, I really just wanted to make something that people could use as a reference, thus, I wrote out the classes as they're written. I mean, if someone new to the game went looking for a class description that doesn't exist, it would just cause...

nero2137

Annnnnd it's done! I put it up here: http://www.4shared.com/file/5qv8LZzXce/ ... terli.html

That's actually what started me on this. I'm far beyond it now, but thanks for the assistance anyhow!

nero2137

Chaos Earth I lumped in with Rifts, though I just gave it it's own page after deciding it was it's own game. Chaos Earth and Systems Failure are both done as well. I didn't know that MiO had O.C.C.'s, but I'll go and take a look. If they do, I'll put it in there! The other mutant books don't though....

nero2137

I have everything from: Palladium Fantasy RPG Dead Reign Beyond the Supernatural Nightbane Ninjas & Superspies Splicers and of course, Rifts! Now, I'm thinking that I will go ahead with Heroes Unlimited, add Manhunter to my Rifts list, Systems Failure and, because I hate myself and I'm obsessed ...

nero2137

I do have Manhunter, but I was only using "official" material. Robotech...I don't have. I'm not really into Robotech. It's a huge list. I'm wondering if I should include Heroes Unlimited "classes". I mean, they're not really classified as O.C.C.s, but you can play one in Rifts. I...

nero2137

Yeah, it's just Game, Book, Class and Page. I figure it's only useful if you have the book. I DID however put every Class in the book regardless of if it had been in an earlier book as some people may only have some of the books. I'll post it as soon as it's complete. Should be tomorrow. FYI, at thi...

Oh, I'm much to late for that! I was already on WB 25 China 2 by the time I read your post. I'm VERY close to done and I'd love if some of you guys would look it over, see if I missed anything. Also, I understand the forum is a bit strict with posting. Is it OK to post it when I'm done? I don't want...

nero2137

For sure! I'd love to get people to look it over! I'm thinking of trying to separate the R.C.C. and O.C.C., but I don't think it's need as I've labelled everything. I'm on to World Books now and then Dimension Books should finish it. I'll post it as soon as I'm done.

nero2137

Anybody ever do this? Not just for Rifts but for the complete Megaverse? Like, across gamelines? I'm posting here because I'm going to run a Rifts game thus my need for it. I started working on one myself, but I'd love to, you know, not have to. Mine is in Excel, btw, with different pages for games ...
