Fire Damage Question

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

Thanks


Shouldn't be more than a quarter the initial damage. I'd just say 2d6. Human flesh dosn't burn as hot as the initial blast.

How compatible are the rules for Dead Reign compared to Rifts and Heroes Unlimited 2 Edition? If they are compatible, then there are some good rules for it in HU2 under the Alter Physical Structure: Fire power (I don't have my book at hand to verify what page it is on).

Are you sure you really want to use the undead of "Dead Reign" in other campaign settings??

Collectively, those Undead are hard to kill in that world, where there is no magic or MDC weaponry whatsoever for the Player Characters to use.

In virtually any other Palladium World equipped with either High Damage Magic or Weapons, they are even easier to kill person-per-person than a similarly-sized horde of rampaging humans (they're dumb and slower, most kinds of Zombies, anyway).

Apart from that, it's pretty much like any other SDC setting, right down to the Armor Rating.


EDIT: I think that there MAY be Conversion Rules in either the main Dead Reign books or one of the 2 sourcebooks curently available.

I have absolutely no clue about Dead Reign as I have not been able to even see the books or browse through it.

Yes and no, there is a MD flamethrower in the Juicer Uprising book, for comparison.
