Howdy Folks.

Simple question. Can a character from C.E. be converted to Rifts ?? If so, What do I need to know ??

Thx in advance,

chaos earth uses basically the same ruleset as RUE and the same style of OCC's, so they can be dropped into Rifts no problem, no real rules adaptions required.

however since CE is the prequel to Rifts, you would need a good background as to how this character wound up 300 years "in the future" from where he started. :)
NEMA members too might attract a lot of attention in rifts, since their gear is generally better quality than even the CS's stuff, and they will have knowledge of NEMA, the golden age, and history in general that has been lost by the time of rifts.

Rifts Conversion Book 1 Revised addresses the conversion of characters from a high tech society i to Rifts. The Chaos Earth characters would fit that.

Just have them wake up from the Aberdeen deep freeze as is. Maybe make a few skills like Lore, and languages updates like Euro become available as they adjust.

The simple answer is 'no'. The reason being that they are already ready for use in the Rifts setting.

The only "converting" you'd need to do is the same for any pre-rue chars, converting them to a RUE standard rules.
The part most different would be to the Modern weapons WP bonuses.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
