Keep it S.D.C.

And for the love of god use armor penetration.

Other than that, good luck man.

Alright, I've scanned the forum and I haven't seen a topic on it so I guess I'll be the bad guy and ask the hard question... With the demise of Ninjas & Superspies creator Erick Wujcik, what happens to Ninjas & Superspies? We have been patiently waiting for years for follow up books, and it ...

What is "anti-material?"

Werd!!!

Ninjas & Superspies really is the bastard child of Palladium Books. It's a good kid but the parents would rather pretend it never happened.

Might as well just play RIFTS or Chaos Earth then. IMO, N&S works the best in modern or near future type settings. Beyond that and it startsto get corny. Might as well not. I'm talking about a good ol' fashion 1980's style PA setting, not Star Wars gone post-apocalypse. Rifts and Chaos Earth SU...

Ten Tigers

Actually Ninjas & Superspies can make for a great post apocalyptic setting. Normally mundane martial artists suddenly find their abilities heightened to a level that they are in the book. This is similar to the effect ley lines had on Rifts except there is no magic. Its all chi based. Tinkerers ...

I want more info! Tell me the differences between 1e and Revised! Tell me about WHY the martial art combat feels cooler and more exciting than other RPG combat. Tell me why about chase rules! The un-revised edition generally had higher bonuses and more flexability when it came to martial arts. I fe...

Ten Tigers

I'd say my main thing would be what so many have already suggested here already... Return Rifts to its post apocalypse roots. "Disney Land with mini-missiles..." I'd pay money to see that. [tune=its a small world]Cause they're short range af-ter all....[/tune] However, to prevent redundanc...

Except for my success ratio.

That has less to do with my imagination and more with crappy rolls.

OK, if SAMAS A shoots a volley of 8 missiles at glitter boy B, we've already established that the GB has a chance to make contact with at least some of the inbound missiles. Do they explode when you shoot them out of the air? If so, does their blast radius affect other missiles in the volley (poten...

Yeah, it's not like my friend was Mongo off his leash. It was just a simple demonstration, grab the little girl as quickly as you can. He honestly didn't think she could move somebody as heavy as he was. But it's like one of those metal fire doors. It's big and heavy and you would normaly have a pro...

Hate to break it to you...but your Star Wars analogy is extremely flawed. One, Obi-Wan was a Jedi, the pinnacle of combat in the Star Wars galaxy...and one of the best Jedi ever, too. Second, he used a lightsaber, not a kick. Third, how much good would that disarming kick do if the thug won initiat...

Ten Tigers

Actually my first post was in jest, sort of, they DO provide some of my characters with a lot of free stuff...

Baring that I agree, I like the style of the weapons and equipment plus at heart I am a human supremacist.

Ten Tigers

They provide me with a steady supply of free guns, e-clips, and slightly-used armor. Remember my brethren, to embrace the unhuman, is to lose our humanity! Suffer not the Alien to live, purge the mutant, Slay the heretic! *sniff, sniff* A Space Marine!!! In another dimension I would agree with you b...

Ten Tigers

This remains the number one reason that martial arts in Rifts would remain the generic ones listed in the book. You could do 100 snap kicks in a minute...but that won't stop a single MD blast from even the weakest of Wilk's pistols. Think about the movie starwars for a minute. Remember in the Cante...

I'm literally a Yin Tiger... I am born one. As am I. Stick a label on that HtH martial Arts and there you go.

Fist Of The North Star I didn't know there were so many fans outside of Asia! But yes, the different techniques in the series are all killer moves, literally!

Ten Tigers

One of my favorite things is a with a character with some kind of martial arts and a vibro knife. Nothing more satisfying than knocking some big arrogant thing around with a well placed power hit or two (who cares if it does no actual damage, just looking to keep it off balance) only to end the game...

Ten Tigers

I'm going to assume you mean various unarmed forms of combat here, and not just "martial arts" as a broad term... because the martial arts, in Rifts, do continue to evolve. They're those skills called Robot Combat: Elite, which allow you to use integrated weapons systems as part of your a...

I have some running around to do but I will be back to debate this further...

Ten Tigers

I have heard many times over that martial arts in general are rare in the world of Rifts as all this ancient knowledge has been lost. Personally I think this is hogwash. Why do people think that the martial arts are such a complex thing? Hell, MAGIC is FAR more complex to learn and would have a far ...

I took plenty of pics of you and the others as well as the tables and all the artists with his camera so we could post them on the forums.

P.S. It was really nice meeting you, you're cool beans.

........good grief. I never considered Body Chi with W.P. Sharpshooting (which I do believe is purely in Rifts and related MDC games) No wonder Body Chi is considered so munchkin when it gets ported over to other Pally game settings... Uh, Z, I already discussed it with you, it's not all that great...

Ten Tigers

Requires a little rules lawyerig, is DEFINITELY munchie, but you wanted ultimate. NO amount of penalties will cause you to miss, only rolling a four or less.

Ten Tigers

No but I could have sworn it made it into Mystic China. I may be wrong. But even if it's not, it is in Rifts Conversion book making it -albeit slim- book legal. Then again that's when PB preached all books being compatable with one another. I used to make some really mean mutant animal martial artis...

Command Sambo and Krav Mahga are two of my personal favs from #7.

In N&SS Tae Kwon Do is one of the deadliest martial artforms with a Deathblow on a Nat 20 at first level. This having been said I have plenty of grains of salt for the Rifter #7 styles.

Ten Tigers

O.K. You want book legal and ultimate in one package? Then I share with you my ancient chinese secret. Take sniper, sharpshooting (with your rifle of choice), then take a martial art that is non-exclusive that offers chi abilities. By b**** ex-wife caused me to loose all my books so you will have to...

Personally, I use W.P. Forked as it allows you to entangle which is something you can do with a decent set of claws.
