I like the addition of Hth Commando. It fits the OCC much better. Are there any new bonuses to 10 and 14 years servitude?

(SHIFTY)

Would the penalties for magic and psionics still apply?

(SHIFTY)

I would have to say the Cyber Knight O.C.C. Given They are very combat oriented but the amount of skills they get makes for some fun customization.

(SHIFTY)

I always thought it was Dragonese/elf?

(SHIFTY)

I run a lot of games where stealth is required. Usually the players come up with this plan by themselves but normally there is that one player that gives away the groups position

Did you try the Gamemaster Guide? You know what? I didn't. I will check that out. I know I read it someplace. Rifts Book of Magic pg21 (in the Q&A section)? I do think this was tacked on post RMB, but can be founded alluded to in RUE (comparing the Ley Line Walker OCC version, and their conceal...

I know there has been a rule about EBA body armor causing problems with Magic users magic. I am having trouble finding where it says this in the RMB and Ultimate Edition. Does anyone have any further information on this ruling? Thanks!

(SHIFTY)

I would of liked to not have Rifts Japan about Ninjas and Samurai etc. I would of loved it to be more about the High Tech Cities, Bionics and Cybernetics. Just never liked the Ninja and Samurai OCCs in the book.

(SHIFTY)

Thanks for the replies. Some of them in the book are pretty useful. I loved the TW Vehicles.

(SHIFTY)

Are any of the magic and Techno Wizard items mass produced or are they one of kind items. Had some I wanted to use in a game. Thanks!

If you play by the house rule that SN strength stacks with a MD weapon like a v-sword, then stack with tattoo weapons too. However, RAW is that you pick one, RUE pg 286. If you choose the weapon damage, you only get to add the SDC PS damage bonus from SN strength, if applicable. That seems to be a ...

I had a quick supernatural strength and magic tattoo question. If you use supernatural strength with a magic weapon tattoo. Do you use the supernatural strength damage from punches/kicks for the weapon tattoo damage or what ever the weapon tattoo summons (broadsword, dagger, double bladed axe etc) T...

Land Navigation comes into play a bunch. At least in the games I have been in.

Ah ok. I didn't see that. So it must of been a typo than.

In Secrets Of The Atlanteans page 68 it says "M.D.C.: Undead Slayers have a base M.D.C. of 2D4xl0 plus 10 P.P.E. per each level of experience (starting at level one)". Is this a typo? It also says under P.PE on page 68 "Increased P.P.E. from Magic Tattoos: Base P.P.E. is 1D4x10+50 for...

(SHIFTY)

The wording in P148 of Secrets Of the Atlanteans makes it seem like the Monster And Animal Tattoo Enhancements count as additional Tattoos. Unlike the Magic Weapons that have had the Enhancements placed during creation and count as 1 active Tattoo. The Monster And Animal Tattoos with Enhancements se...

Even if they are covered in flames?

Question on the enhancement rules for Monsters and Animals. Do the enhancements count as a separate tattoo? For instance, if I just progressed to second Level and picked a griffin Monster Tattoo and wanted to put a saddle enhancement. Would I have to wait till 3rd level to add the enhancement? Or is...

(SHIFTY)

I noticed in the Secrets Of the Atlanteans Book the crossed weapons is now a tattoo enhacement and not a stand alone tattoo magic weapon catergory. Does the crossed weapons tattoo create duel weapons for the Tattoo man to use? Or just give bonuses to the weapons appearing in the tattoo? Previously, ...

(SHIFTY)

Well, that depends on what your GM throws at you. Personally, I'd find the Anti-ISP tattoo to be practically useless because you: 1) need to be facing something that relies on ISP, and 2) need to drain them almost to zero ISP. Draining them halfway won't likely change their attacks. You have to get...

I have a True Atlantean Undead Slayer of the Bagh-Dach. I am torn between two Magic Weapon Tattoos. What would be more useful Weapon Impaling or Smashing A Baal-Rog's Head (Demon Slayer) or Weapon Impaling or Smashing a Skull (Anti-I.S.P.)? Thanks again!

(SHIFTY)

A character I have has a flaming axe with flame gout and blood splatter enhancements. The flame gout does 5d6 normally. My question is would the flame gout bolts do critical hits on a 17 or 18-20 due to the blood splatter enhancement? Or would only the physical strikes do the possible critical due t...

(SHIFTY)

I was wondering if Undead Slayers tend to focus their Magic Tattoos on Magic Weapons? If so, do you always put the maximum enhancements on them? Thanks!

(SHIFTY)

I was wondering. I read the stats on some NPCs and found that the Techno Wizard armor had far beyond the normal amount of MDC for the model of body armor. Is this true for most Techno Wizard body armor? Does this count as a spell/feature of the maximum 4 you can have placed in Techno Wizard body arm...

(SHIFTY)

Thank you all!

(SHIFTY)

Do magic users and psychics still get a reduction in their powers when they receive a certain amount of Techno Wizard Bionics and Cybernetics?

(SHIFTY)

I noticed that the Cyber Knight gets WP Shield at 2nd level with Zen Combat. Does this WP start at second level or first? Do they get the +1 to parry at level one too? Thanks!

What are some of the Rifts World Books that you could not really get into or use for your games?

It says on the description for the Battle Fury Blade that Cyber Knights prize Battle Fury Blades. How much ISP would it take to fuel these weapons? It doesn't say in the description. The norm conversion is 1 PPE = 2 ISP in, and is specifically called out in the RUE TW Device "rules" (RUE ...

I was going nuts looking for the desert travel rules, I thought they were in a new west book, but I found them in Vamp SB. The suggestion that they be included was specifically one of mine. Good call but this is why we need a seriously revised GMs guide. Get rid of what amounts to big weapons book ...

Are Seljuk still around? I thought I read something that they were being wiped out by some plague.

Has there been any word if they are going to update Rifts England?

Just ordered this book. I have the original one. What did everyone think about it? Was it a decent update?

What is the highest level you have got a character up to?

I agree! I hope they do a Revised Edition soon. It was a great book!

To me, I try to stear new players towards Headhunters. Easy way to learn the system.

Does anyone do reduction in skills or bonuses during character creation for Master Psionics? I would think they would need time to develope those Psionic abilities over learning skills during Cyber-Knight training. Just looking for some house rules you might use. Thanks!

(SHIFTY)

The rule as stated in RMB is not part of the rules under RUE. I tend to house rule it myself to take 2 OCC Related and 2 secondary skills to pay for Major Psi as it should take some time to develop all those powers. Now I'm not sure what rule you are talking about in RUE that adds Master Psionics t...

(SHIFTY)

The old RMB said to reduce the OCC related skills and bonuses if the character was a major psychic in the character creation section. Rifts Ultimate Edition added Master Psionics during character creation but mentioned no rule of reduced skills for Major or Master Psionics. Does this rule still appl...

Can Kremin Cyborgs become Cyber-knights? I have a player that wants to do this.

I always ruled it as taking one action unless it says otherwise.

How about the Pecos Empire? That place seems to have a bunch of conflict and would be a ideal place where Death and the bunch could cause problems.

(SHIFTY)

Doesn't the book Heroes Of Humanity have some further information about this? It's what got me wondering even more. They do give an MOS in a way but I would have thought there'd be more OCCs and regular MOSs without the Special Training Schools. Also some don't really seem to fit. At least not with...
