I see some great points in this thread, especially from Jack Burton. Problem with getting that precise is that this system doesn't seem to allow you to add new skills to your character over time, so you can't pick up a new weapon or class of weapon in the future. Unless I'm misreading something...l...

I apologize if this has been addressed. I couldn't find a similar topic when using the search feature. I have a player who just leveled up his Symbiotic super hero (Heroes Unlimited) that he created using Powers Unlimited 2. Powers Unlimited 2 is completely silent on what to do with the symbiote's p...

The description of MBA on 154 seems like similar could apply to this category too: The costume design is left entirely up to the player and can be as elaborate, sublime, or simple as he/she may desire. Given how prone to abuse this could be (just keep instantly repairing your armor) to avoid upsett...

Greetings and salutations, I'm working on the "Creature Feature" sourcebook and I've realized that there needs to be some rules concerning fire mentioned in. The fire-walker has some info, and the core Dead Reign book has some details, but there has to be more out there. Trouble is, I don...

Yes, I can say with 100% certainty that the original poster's character gets armor when transforming, to include SDC and a reasonable AR. Ask me how I know this....

That's what I thought.

when they flat-out tell us to always round up damage "always" meaning "when using Ninjas and Superspies special version of Roll With Blow"? That's you reading more into the sentence than is there. The sentence says "always." If it was important, we'd see it in more tha...

Bought mine as soon as I saw the Weekly Update, VIP night as well. My big hope for this convention is that they use an online schedule system for the games. Doing the sign ups the day of leads to massive runs to the signup tables. Ya, at the last OH, a bunch of guys pushed past my wife at the table...

On the flip side, which WP would an AR-15 pistol fall under? There are always corner cases in firearms design and function that any hard and fast categorization will struggle with. I would categorize that under W.P. Rifle. That weapon has more in common with the AR-15 operating system than it would...

Palladium's weapons proficiencies concerning handguns for the Rifts line have always been wrong. In 1st Edition, W.P. Revolver was fine, but there was no W.P. for semi-auto pistols. There was, however, a "W.P. Automatic Pistol" (page 32) that explained how it covered pistols that kept firi...

I recommend buying table tents. (Those things at restaurants used to mark what table it is). Use them after you determine initiative. It will make your job so much easier. I've played in a few of Mr. Jays' games and it's crazy how such a small detail improves the flow. These are an example of what ...

There's no need for a rule prohibiting decimals. There is no rule ALLOWING decimals. Decimals are something adults inherently understand how to use in math. I think the target audience for all of Palladium's games is mature enough to use them, so they could be an assumed option. BTW, is there also ...

Two sessions completed for today. Both went very well. I think everyone had fun. If you played in either session, feel free to comment. Very well done. My friend and I had a lot of fun immersed in the politics and gossip of Auburn Ridge, the small town you created. Your pregen characters were well ...

Hey is there any tables, sets, or calculators for damage sustained that isnt really combat damage.? Ex. I once slammed a door in an enemy's face.

Shannon (PBlackCrow) and I have been working on this, tell me what you think. If PPE goes below 25% apply a penalty of -10 to all skills, at below 20% he has 0 bonuses on melee actions and -15 to all skills, below 10% he becomes sluggish like sugar has just bottomed with 0 bonuses he is -5 to melee...

I suppose I'm wondering: does pre-ordering these books increase the chances of their being made? Is the benefit that if you pre-order at a lower price then you save having to pay the higher price it inflates to 7 or 8 years later? If you do pre-order, is it possible to cancel it and get a refund on...

A few people have suggested that you can't do mass sacrifices of rodents to get their PPE. WHY NOT? Where in the rules does it prohibit that?

Aside from RWB, another combat example to look for would be "near miss" situations with blast radius, since that is also half damage. RMB41 even talks about double-halving it when you RWB after being in blast radius, which would then bring up how you would round 0.25 or 0.75 (or if you mu...

or anything else which might halve damage. How do we deal with odd numbers? 1/2=0.5 and 3/2=1.5 for example. I'm wondering if there is any canon answer anywhere about whether to round fractions up or down. You round down the amount of damage taken, because there's no way to take a partial point of ...
