Re: Too big for a Rift
Too big for a rift depends on whats trying to go through and what kind of rift it is. Anything that can teleport shapeshift or has dimensional abilities should always fit if it wants to. Swallowing rifts should always nab anything they touch. I tend to be leary of saying things should get sheared of...

Re: Fission or fusion?
My typical go to has been most bots are Fission. Reactor shielding problems and some space requirements are easy enough to hand wave away with Megadamage alloys. Fusion I tend to reserve more for larger vehicles or bases that have a steady water supply and are able to generate hydrogen or helium fue...

Re: Whykin question
Unless I'm mistaken, RUE is a more recent release than Aftermath isn't it? I don't know of any official update to any of that info; but I can certainly tell you that the way I run things myself by the time the Minion war stuff breaks out at the absolute latest I would have them joining in an officia...

Re: Player Bases/Cities
As far as the rules go if they are getting that big as an organization and have or want a base of some sort the Mercanary company rules in one of the Merc books might be a good place to start. Even if they don't really want to be a bunch of sell swords in that fashion it has some pretty good options...

Re: Dragon Metamorphosis
I had been sure that under the hatchling metamorphosis stats in the RUE it was per day but that's not true. Doesn't mention any sort of cool down or duration other than how long they can maintain the change. I did find a bit under dragon hand to hand that says at level 1 shifting takes a full melee ...

Re: Many wolves and MDC gear.
Depending on the particular demon and his lackies some of them might be able to shift into wolf forms as well. At which point it's a bit tricky to tell if those are just more wolves or something else until its still stand after an MD blast or starts nibbling the grenade pins on your belt.

Re: Goblin bombs/arrows
Yeah found it, pg 131 on RUE, point 10. "If the device itself is able to store ppe, the device can be made to function even for a non psi/mage if the Techno wizard wants it to" That doesn't really say for most items, but it's entirely reasonable for any item that has charges and physical c...

Re: Goblin bombs/arrows
Last I was aware TW gear could be used by anyone generally. Most of it has buttons and levers and the power source needs you to pump it with PPE, ISP, or take it to a let line to charge it. So a character that isn't a mage or psi could never recharge the flame bolt rifle unless it charges automatica...

Repulicans and the sleepers/NEMA Historics
So back in Source book one revised where as far as I know is one of the first times it mentions the NEMA army in stasis it places them Inside Archies much bigger real facility and the one from the previous version of the source book is meant to be a decoy. Looking through a friends copy of megaverse...

Re: Languages on the universal Translator
Yeah, my style of running is fairly broad most of the time so particularly with a translator they will be fine 99% of the time without even thinking about it. Because even if they don't speak a small local groups language odds are most of the town/tribes people will speak english or something else l...

Re: Release dates for power armor in NA
Well I didn't think it was that late that stuff started getting produced at all, though I know there were relatively few on the market prior to 102 or so, mainly the Flying Titan and the Sampson. I suppose a lot of it was in easier to produce machines like tanks, and just getting by with repairing w...

Re: Languages on the universal Translator
Yeah the Language Translator (Portable) in the RUE (which I'm going with assumes you are in North America since that is the main setting for that book) says it is programmed with the nine known languages of the Americas so I figured that was a list somewhere. If it's not then I guess my list there i...

Languages on the universal Translator
Most of the bots, borgs, or computer equipment i've seen that can load a universal translator seems to reference the hand portable one in the main book or the ultimate edition book. I don't have an original main book anymore but the Ultimate listing says it is loaded with the nine major languages of...

Release dates for power armor in NA
I've started off my group that I've been running for a few months now all the way back in the Timeline with the Archie adventure in sourcebook one. Right now we are just about done with the Mechanoids, barring a couple groups that escaped and will cause problems for some one or another later. Having...
