1-Ok we have a good aligned character who use, first of all a rune weapon. Now the rune weapon is powered by a soul trapped in it. Now the soul usually wants to be used for fighting good, but not always. Not to mention that making the rune weapons is considered by many a dark, evil magic. - still w...

OoOOOOH! I like this idea. A decent armor breaker in close quarters or for the head shot that for that special someone..

Rimmerdal

I don't but its not a bad idea.

I'd say 3-6 D10 to randomly pick a 6 number sequence..and have players roll to see if they win.

Could also once every game session have a random GM roll to see if some lucky NPC gets those millions...so your PC's know who to mug..

It is not sound patterns that effect PPE/make magic. PPE is manipulated by the will of a person. The person/mage uses words to form the thoughts, that shape the will, that shapes the PPE. This has been argued in circles for ages, but the gist of the 'words' argument is that it does say several plac...

Lots of worms once you open that can. oh yeah..and don't drop that particular can on the wrong nexus either. You could take most of the mages on NA alone..and god knows how many if it landed on Atlantis.. So lets presume some idiot in the CS did make one...as the CS Where would drop it? How about i...

speaking of Beverage is there a PPE version of Psi-Cola yet?

"Get me a can of carbonated glucose-infused rehydration solution while you’re at it.” Makes me kinda sad that no mention of psi cola was made. would not Psi Cola be covered under contraband? its not exactly legal is it? only in some areas it is. In Psyscape its like alcohol and considered soci...

Given rune weapons require the permanent enslavement of a powerful living being wouldn't rune tattoos be a level of insane evil?

The God Brahma has what could be considered a "Rune Book". It is a book full of infinite use scrolls and an extremely powerful object. Regarding Rune Tattoos, they don't have souls trapped in them or anything but you might want to look at the Rune Warrior from South America 2 or the Tatto...

heh heh...I'd like to see des's take on the Reindeer..It'd be funny. as for a good target could have santa request the party break into the black vault and get his sleigh or bag of toys back. Could be a funky idea...and you know Santa has to have some wicked stats.

We have rune weapons, items and even a few Rune vehicles I'll guess. How about a Rune tattoo? Wait if you use this it would be Rune Ink essentially..so that opens up Rune Spell books (err no pun intended) and Rune scrolls...

The starting Cyborg leg strength is 132. There is no way you should use that as your 'leg strength'. If the strength of the legs was CLOSE to the arms then I could see that, but it's not even in the same league, it goes off the table for Robotic Strength by more than 2x, and that's just to start. t...

Rimmerdal

A lot of the other things you're listing i would never allow; but the one thing i would do by default is ignore the silly archery ROF listed and just go with however many attacks your character has. I know a few archers (via larping and reenactment) who can put 10+ arrows into the air in 15-20 seco...

Rimmerdal

Agree, this puts a broader range of use for a merc company. Its a big world and an army travels on its stomach. so such a company would get work easily..Just watch out you don't tick off the boys in Larsen's Brigade..LOL!

Rimmerdal

I was reading the sniper pistol and wondered how practical it would be in rifts and what kind of bonuses would apply to it. The concept of the pistol seems sound and would be practical for urban warfare and making headshots..so I was curious how you other GM's would deal with this weapon if one your...

Rimmerdal

as for stat wise on legs speed would be the affected on. the legs lifting power for a leg only lift would be the speed stat number used on the PS chart. wha? You have a Physical Speed on your stats. use that as leg strength. for super human speed use unadjusted and give it bonuses for cybernetic or...

Rimmerdal

Huh, I wonder why they chose not to 'normalize' archery attacks along with magic and physical attacks. It took them many years of complaining from customers before they updated magic attacks. People haven't complained much about archery. Unless you have vamps..most folks use non-bows or TW Pistols ...

Rimmerdal

For purposes of Palladium, magic is the effect of energy (PPE) that is manipulated by words. For technology to become magic, I would say that the technology would have to replace the power words. For example, a remote control (not TW remote control) that can manipulate PPE in such a way that pressi...

Except nothing in canon supports human creche-soldiers (dog boys, yes, people, no). Large chunks of their armies are made up of guys trying to "buy" CS citizenship for their families by serving, even. Vat grown or not, the concept would fit humans. "State is mother, state is father&q...

A partial conversion borg is not necessarily a head hunter but with the RUE it does tend to seem like they intend the headhunter OCC as the template for what a partial conversion borg looks like. There are other options such as the bionics source book and even some other OCC especially ones from ru...

It's funny, because normally I would say 'hey, this game (in the Ultimate edition) has been around since 2005, I think if they forgot, then by now it would have been corrected', but it really seems just as likely that they did forget as it is that leaving it at the original RoF was a conscious deci...

Rimmerdal

You would think so, but Mental Affinity isn't tied to performance skills at all, so they don't actually do better than anyone else in that regard. They just save money on make-up to get the look. in the case of Devil men I'd give them a bonus as metal or other heavy metal style performers based on ...

Huh, I wonder why they chose not to 'normalize' archery attacks along with magic and physical attacks.

the dominators in the 3 galaxy's the thunder book stats that there tech is so advance its a magic . am just wondering at what ponit would it be come magic ? My guess would be something unrepeatable or just something no one knows how it was made. Like the cosmic forge or other great one of a kind it...

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. so at what point would technology become magic ? say the coalition states tech become magic it's self . ? Never. A better way to phrase that old quote is "To a soceity sufficently primitive, any technology appears to be magi...

An "anti-PPE bomb" would not need a "MASIVE EXPLOSION" to detonate it. The device would only need to set free the "A-PPE" for it come into effect with the PPE of an area. But there are the questions.... Does Anti-PPE kill off all life with in the effect area? (Since PP...

and the point of all this? Very likely he knew, but parenting when they can grow lots of babies in tubes at once, is likely to be seen insignificant. This would only matter in your campaign. Think the Sebacean breeding protocols in farscape. I doubt there is any love for offspring in the coalition ...

i head a thought for a magical bomb and started to think about anti matter . and how it explodes with it comes in contact with matter . so if there where anti-p.p.e would it destroy normal p.p.e . or if there could be other types of p.p.e ? According to most PPE comes in one variety. an anit-PPE bo...

They can be found in D-bees of North America among other places, they are slightly melon headed D-Bees with tiny devil-like Horns. They are excellent scholars and are rather pacifistic by nature if I recall. Their full name is something like D'norr Devil Man or something like that. Well, that is my...

Reduced SDC and some Combat penalties for vs full military class gear seems fine. But vs other non Military grade it should work. The appearance would be more like bays transformers or Steam punk-like I would guess.

Could see a mutant power from this sort of idea.

Is there more chi in Japan or something? I thought it tended to be spread out pretty evenly. Besides, in Rifts China/Japan people rarely use chi and instead opt to mimic chi powers/spells with ISP/PPE tributes, so stalkers could survie well in either place. Was more thinking that they would have ev...

Like it. Would be a busy job in a place like merctown. Would be very ideal for Lonestar or Psi-battalion.

Rimmerdal

Artificial Sunlight beams and silver rounds would be something I can imagine, especially if they used the older gunpods on there bioroids to reduce Proto cost. As for if they could turn..not sure if the vamp could get nourishment from there proto blood.

So... The trident is the universal weapon? sure why not? most races could and would have made them. Even land dwellers like the Romans had them. Tridents would also do damage being pulled out so there even more viscous. Would the damage for pulling it out count as second hit or be added to the weap...

I'm not being serious with these questions at all by the way, the Gigadamage has just gotten me all riled up!

Sure, it'd burn with MDC fire I suppose..

Zombies don't die from destroying their hearts though, only their heads. But it seems like it would make them even more resistant to damage and stuff. Presumably if you destroyed a zombie's heart it would either leave a gaping hole or they might be able to regrow it like they can their eyeballs, no...

If you made mega-damage paper (lets say from an MD capable machine that pulps and presses from wood that's had Ironwood used on it), would it be MD, or would it just be 100x stronger than normal paper it's density?

Well, if you take your cue from DND, you could substitute in a lesser elemental with a humanoid form and a unique personality perhaps. Or maybe just an islamic-themed demi-god or godling with all spells up to their level from the gift of magic, perhaps a lesser member of the persian pantheon detail...

Could see the armor adapting to need. Say a Cyber-knight is in an area where a certain material is feared. like in an Aztec based area..so they may look at metal as not deadly. But certain were-beast locally are vulnerable to Obsidian so the knight's armor becomes obsidian instead. the Obsidian shou...

Do you mean variant Psi-Stalkers who have different ISP:PPE conversion ratios? I suppose they would be variants. It just makes sense that they may have evolved differently based on location. If they lived in japan/Eastern areas...they may have adapted to feed on Chi, could see some living in Psioni...

Me and a friend do that for a D&D basic game.

I tend to lump name calling with trolls. Trolls tend to be insult others. Just most trolls I've seen tend to insult (directly or indirectly) I would argue that most trolling involves INDIRECT insults, and namecalling is direct. Being that it requires falsehood (presenting false opinions to enflame)...
