I'm just gonna go ahead and state you can be a muscle woman too, with all the same effects as a muscle man

just saying cause I took a peek at the black vault and saw muscle man again...well back to my cave

(And OMG i'm in the black vault!? SQUEEEE, though lol i'm Nightmaretree on there)

The tricky thing with such creations is game balance and setting preservation. The very introduction of an All Metal Eating Virus (AMEV) can potentially create some major issues for long term campaigns. Having such a cool innovative weapon that can be deployed and implemented like the Viral Immobil...

Lets write our own! "Killing a D-Bee a day, keeps the alien intelligences away!" "Only you can prevent burster fires" I'm just curious about what kind of propoganda or spun news stories you guys can come up with. The CS may be "Bad Guys" to us on the forums but in world...

How tailored are these cocktails though? I thought it was one juice regardless of age, gender, or ethnic background. That's exactly where I think issues will come from. And its less that its one juice as it is its dozens of them all used in varying amounts to fit your body. That means that if the b...

Does anyone recall a minimum or maximum age for juicer conversion? That could inform us. What are the effects of a 90 year old human or a 9 year old human becoming one, for example? I as actually wondering this to for different reasons. A personal opinion is anybody below X years is not developed a...

I like the whole "Pantheons would nuke them" route...and remember the machine has a god complex...imagine how it would go if the ACTUAL gods find something using their names...oh and its mucking around on a major dimensional crossroads screaming "I DID IT" while using your name

Nightmartree

i hold firm to my second,as its a matter of opinion and interpretation and i simply disagree with the opposing argument. Oh always man, this is a game, apparently even the game designer house rules in his home games to better fit what he wants to do and game masters are encouraged to do the same. W...

Whereas getting MOM implants makes you crazy, which is right in line with becoming a parent. Heck, "getting MOM implants" even sounds like a euphemism for getting pregnant. And the winner if the "Joke So Obvious, No One Wanted to Make It Award" is... I'm a Dad. Bad jokes are my ...

If the power was meant to be an extra power in addition to whats printed under abilities,then,quite simply the extra parent ability would also be printed in the abilities section.but it isnt.So either the second part of the fluff text is wrong or the second ability was accidentally omitted from the...

Nightmartree

On another subject, truth be told, while i have seen this touted by people a number of times here and there, examples of mortals transforming themselves into deities is something i still have to see any canon examples of actually cited. I won't swear by it but i believe that its said that godlings ...

Nightmartree

As for the ability to take a demigod power PLUS a power of the god parent? I'd say that's less fluff text and more a clearly stated "the GM will have to work with this because it varies by parent and GM call". This also clearly states the power is included as an addition to the below stat...

I'd swear a read a bit somewhere about gods being able to ascend if they receive enough worshipers/energy but i'm not sure exactly where. And i'm also pretty sure once you become a god the only ways to truly kill you are to wipe out your pantheon, or all your believers (one leaves no one to revive y...

Nightmartree

truthfully though, it really is quite baffling that the resistance hadn't already attempted counter-nanowarfare against the machine. i would say that to retain plausibility, you're going to need to come up with some background reason why the resistance hasn't already killed off the nanoplague. thou...

Nightmartree

Gods are basically beings who reached the point where they are more magic than being if I remember the description right. So all you need to make one is enough believers/followers pumping PPE into them. So for an Alien Intelligence to make a god all it has to do is create a minion tell its followers...

Just to play devil's advocate here... Juicers have more SDC, so they are more durable, so it is harder to harm their baby. Ergo, juicer moms are the safest moms. Particularly mega-juicer moms because they have MDC protection for their baby. Nanobots make sure the body is never short for oxygen or n...

its a secret project to release a metal eating bio plague to counter the nano plague, of course it won't let them use metal (cause its being eaten) but it will slowly degrade all metal world wide, essentially doing to the machine what it did to humanity except the machine itself is metal.

Just assume that any travel beyond 20 miles is subject to radical distortion due to dimensional anomalies and the setting as written starts to make a little more sense. Not necessarily 20 miles, I mean if you take the time, effort, lost resources and cases of poking the hornets nest you might be ab...

I wonder if I should add some blindness penalties if the stuff gets in unprotected eyes...or just leave that and other side effects(like choking hazard) to the GM's perogative. I feel like as of now neither of those apply, maybe an in built safety feature of the spell? since it seems to find its wa...

Pretty much. I have firm limits on twinkery.... it's not a line etched in stone but more like two fixed points with string between them with a lot of play in the middle. You can stretch it one way or another for a bit of give and take but there is a limit to how that string can stretch or move. Whe...

you could also make the argument that axes and chain saws work on a special vulnerability of trees. much like were creatures and silver because I can also tell you that if you don't use the axe right you can chop and chop on the tree for a long time and not accomplish much. but if you use it right ...

Nightmartree

Ehhh I'd say no. I'd say the hero would lose those hp. But if various Swarm Selves get killed upon being poisoned or hacked apart or burned to death or whatever, the regular-sized hero can later heal back up to his original hp total before once again sending out a full swarm of full-health selves, ...

also, as you lose glitterboys and pilots, i would imagine that spare parts become more and more available and the demand on existing stockpiles becomes lower. Ah the reality of "Poor Joe, he was a good friend, him and his suit have saved my life more times than i can even count, pity he didn't...

Looking at all the discussion I think the first thing that needs to be decided is what size/kind of tree is being used? Are we discussing a "Normal" sized tree, say 12 inches wide? maybe a large one at 24 inches wide? a "giant" tree at 4 feet or so wide? a super tree of 6ft+? per...

Then you show up at the game and it 's your RPA, two cosmic-knights, and an titan juicer. No mage, no psi, no one who can pick a lock or hack an electric door panel. The inverse can also be a bummer. You show up with your godling, and the rest of the group consists of a rogue scholar, a city rat, a...

Now THAT sounds cool. Afterall... what good are heroes without villians? Also it would allow for glimpses into the world of palladiums heroes unlimited. A way to introduce organizations, heroes, villians, maybe even new powers/categories without directly jumping into a new main book or unlimited. I...

I can't animate the text, but just animating a Rift opening is a very cool idea, didn't even think about that!!! If the first batch does well, I do have a list of others I'd like to add in the future, I might just have to add that one. Nice work! Thank you, and you gotta admit, there is not much th...

Ooooooh, its not a "need it now" idea, but i'd like to see a write up of villain super organizations. Not a make it yourself but like a world book for rifts, instead of describing a place it describes a criminal organization, its villians, its minions, its tech, some locations, crimes and ...

Yeah... the number in the GM guide says 1D4X100, which is also the damage for a Medium nuclear missile(Pg 82 core) So... there's some strange... damage issues with those.

Well Swarm Selves+Multiple selves are two majors, then three more minors.. that's a lot of powers on one Char. There's probably a way to acheive it but that's not going to be a standard loadout. Usually things top out around 2 majors and 1 minor. ( I'm aware once in a while peop...

I've never considered a lot or few skills as an indicator of the level of hell your standing in. Its more the type of skills and location that determine how bad it is.
