Why modify, when you can mass-produce for your military... of which the wolfen make a large percentage?
I fail to see the problem here.
If the TGE does it, why wouldn't the CCW?
Do you run the CCW kinda like the CS or something?

Vrykolas2k

Where do you get the idea that a wolfen piloting power-armour is breaking his or her races mold?

Vrykolas2k

TGE is more warlike though, CCW may be on a stricter budget because they're spending their cash feeding the poor. The ratio of Wolfen in the CCW doesn't matter if they are so honorable that they're fine with taking what they're given (or using traditional wolfen equipment) instead of demanding spec...

Making up a significant portion of the population wouldn't necessarily mean all gear has a mass-produced modified version to fit you. That may not be cost-effective for an organization dealing with intergalactic wars. Modification may be the minority not the majority. If the TGE does it for their p...

I suppose a Demigod whose power was magical abilities but didn't select a magic OCC wouldn't be able to cast may of the spells they learned? Why not? It seems logical enough that they would gain the magical OCCs PPE, plus 4d6. Godlings who choose magical abilities get the amount stated for godlings...

GMs who don't research anything won't find me staying in their group for long. So long as they research one thing then, they are good? I research lots of things for my personal interests, or for work, or for a game. The results of that research may not make it into the game, or the game result may ...

As many wolfen as there are in the CCW armed forces, they're not exactly a minority... Silverhawks would be made for wolfen pilots.
Might be some for oni as well, though the oni make up a far lesser percentage.

Researching how to modify existing, high tech weapons can take a while; designing things from scratch can take years, as you have to return to the beginning several times to get it working right.

They each get the 100... players also get individual awards according to what their characters did.

The demi-god adds the 4d6 to PPE/ ISP.
The godling has its own, as printed.

It depends, but 5 was the most I ever did. And three of them actually were caused by a character's actions... one of them before the game actually got started, due to a grammatical error in the character's background. Man was the player shocked/ sad/ angered when she found out that a LOT of the stuf...

Which nation's military is it that trains psychic dog people to fight wizards and demons, again? Or failing that, piloting giant robots and shooting laser pistols? At the gaming table, I've found the main situations where Dunning–Kruger is a problem are when participants apply a universality to the...

That very tendency is the red flag to which I refer. The above poster has not only indirectly claimed a period of military service necessarily imparts knowledge of world military history, but because all militaries (including historical and fictitious ones) are part of "the military" this...

I'm sure the CCW has pa fitted to every major race, to include wolfen... after all the TGE does with its Mk II pa, and they're more elitist towards kreeghor than the CCW is towards any race.

Will it be slated for a 2020 release, so we see it in 2040...?
(Yes, I'm kidding... kind of.)

I generally dislike "Immortal" Villains, both as a GM and a player. So usually I have them come back by having them run away whenever they might be in danger of dying. If the campaign I am running does need that reoccurring villain to function, then I usually make the villain "immort...

Federation of Magic, same section where it describes the PPE clips as a modified version of the Amulet spell.
Edit: I meant Talisman spell.

Does the new book have character sheets...?

Josh Hilden wrote:It was a lot more like the Walking Dead when it was written.

I'm sure that's true.
I had to house-rule zombie head SDC to make it more logical, as well as a few other things to do with weapons which were a bit inaccurate.
Aside from that, fun game.

Vrykolas2k

Many of the Stormspire weapons can be used by mundanes, though they're expensive (especially when you compare a PPE clip to an Eclip).

I don't do it. If the villain dies, fair and square... it's just another NPC. Agreed. I'm just trying to build a villain with several ways to escape while the characters can be deluded into thinking he's dead so he can be a recurring thorn in their sides. Without doing something that would make the...

I am on board with the "Demi-God as a template", reverse engineered by removing base human stats. On the other hand, there is the PU2 Immortal version of Demi-Gods. You just want to be able to build Vex again don't you I did actually go through and turn this into a template previously. I ...

I don't do it.

The closest I came was a mage who used the Doppleganger: Superior spell.

I tend not to overthink it.
With a wolfen demigod, they get an MDC bite, nightvision and wolfen sensory abilities.
With elves, they get the 5D6 PB and nightvision.

I'd read a short Rifter article about each human nation's generalized stance on racism.

Borgs don't have too much MDC, theirs makes sense compared to body/power armor. The issue is moreso that robots and vehicles have far too little compared to body/power armor. The concept of “mega-damage” is pretty abstract. It’s for our use only — Rifts characters would use different terminology. I...

there are some settlements some descendants of the golden age research facilities. But of course there are. Are they inbred cannibal mutants?

Try shooting the idea at Funimation, they already have a stable of voice actors, and i heard that they are considering producing some american anime. That would work really well, I think. Also, it would avoid any weird copyright infringement things (Psylocke used a "psi-sword" in X-Men: A...

given that MD materials seem to react to blunt impacts different than pinpoint ones (a slow car crash or falling damage doing MD, for example, when a bullet needs to be going super fast to even leave a mark), it may be that MD materials, despite their toughness otherwise, are a bit on the brittle s...

I would have worked it differently. I would have given the CK a flat +3 Initiative, +2 Strike, +3 Parry and Dodge vs Tech, and an MD Death Blow vs Supernatural, as well as their psi-weapons going up in damage over levels, and their cyber-armour improving... thus, they're not just "Anti-CS"...

I just thought of a question and I was wondering, would the round from Boom Gun still deliver the same amount of damage to targets (or, more precisely, anything that they hit) beyond its range?

Perhaps smaller objects are easier to armor because of some quirk with MDC materials. Weight and surface area may actually work against your MDC rating. In the old Mekton Fuzion system, only giant machines could take full effect from really big weapons. Human sized targets were light enough that th...
