I am running a game that is using content from it currently. The drone construction information is useful and relevant. With the popularity and availability of civilian drones today, it makes sense that people would be using them to scout their surroundings in a disastrous situation.

Omega6

On any of the survivors that do not list new secondary skills, I have made a house rule of +1 secondary skill every even level.

Dead Heat (1988)

I am personally going with Half-Living absorbing P.P.E. from their kills in the campaign I am running. I am leaning towards the victims of Half-Living coming back as zombies as well. It makes them like a disease carrier that hasn't succumbed but is still contagious.

I have a somewhat serious suggestion in the form of a picture...

I often wonder why so many people are against characters learning new skills outside their original character class when the ability to do so is written about in many of the books. In PFRPG (Old Ones stands out in my mind), Rifts Mercenary Adventures and in one of the Phase World books there trainin...

There are some other military forces around the world which should be noted. The IDF (Israel) requires every adult citizen, with the exception of Muslim citizens, to be in the military for at least one contracted period. I do not know how long that contracted period is, so I won't guess. The German ...

Are you going to post the stats for the Urban Pursuit Hovercycle? I would like to see them.

Omega6

The Lhotse Elixir, in LotD 1: Chaos Lands page 38, is another way.

Omega6

Got the kit. I am looking for more characters like what was posted here already though. I like a character already on a Character Sheet. Just print and go is much easier than transfer all the data from a stat block to a sheet.

Omega6

I know these pre-gens weren't made for me, but I like what I see. Will there be any more posted? I did find it interesting that almost none of them can swim. It is not a complaint, just an observation. I know everybody makes their characters differently. Whenever I make a character I always pick swi...

Omega6

I just thought I would point out that almost any skill can be learned by any character outside of their "skill list". The skills the character starts with and the skills that are learned as they level are, of course, restricted to the skill list provided by the O.C.C. Palladium has always ...

I like the style the others have suggested. I am not a fan of "Hook, Line, Sinker" aventures. Other adventures I like include the PFRPG Yin Sloth Jungles material. I also enjoy using random encounter tables, like the ones in Mutants in Avalon (After the Bomb) for example, to flesh out the ...

Omega6

Thanks for the feedback.

Omega6

I have a question about what I can post on the forums. I think remember seeing a rule that if I post something on the message boards, then I can't submit it to the Rifter. I have been working on some material for the PFRPG and for Rifts, and I thought posting some samples could be a good way to see ...

Omega6

Page 202 of Triax 1 says that the gargoyles can not build their own modern weapons but they know how to maintain them. They do make their own melee weapons as stated about metalsmiths on page 196, so they have better options than tree trunks. A gargolye mage (I.Q. 2D6+6) is also described as a schol...

Omega6

The gargoyles got several new pieces of equipment. There are three new giant rifles, four new giant melee weapons and two giant shields. The gargoyles are going to take those new Triax weapons off of defeated soldiers without hesitation.

Omega6

The character classes that can learn them have them listed in their O.C.C. description. Examples are mystic ninja ability #2 and bishamon fighting monk ability #3.

Omega6

As far as military etiquette is concerned, all members of Psi-Battalion will have the skill. In the skill desrciption it states that all soldiers have been trained in military etiquette at a base skill of 30% with no advancement per level.

Omega6

Psi-stalkers feeding from ley lines, with it tasting bad, was always an option. It was in the original edition of Rifts, not added later as an afterthought.

Omega6

Did you see this pic by him?

Looks like a red Dead Boy.

Omega6

I am know it is game and not realistic. Like I said before, I don't expect the attacks to be realistic, I just wouldn't reduce the number of attacks from the existing rules.

Omega6

So, if I only used about a third of the melee, I could go for nine attacks (probably more really). Which is significantly more than most characters.

I am not saying to give the characters 8 or 9 attacks per melee, though. I am just saying don't take any attacks away.

Omega6

Why remove two attacks from everyone. Realistically, most people can do quite a bit in 15 seconds. Recently at a pistol shooting sesion, I started with my back to two targets. I turned, drew my pistol, fired two rounds at one target, then adjusted my aim to the other target and fire two rounds at it...

Omega6

I would say that stopping from a jog in a glitter boy would not take an action since anchors drilling 4.5 feet into the ground would stop you instantly whether you want to or not. Although there might be some whiplash involved fot the pilot Seriously though, I don't think the pylons take an action t...

Omega6

Look in to Aliens Unlimited. There are several canine races with Rifts conversion notes. Some are even allowed to be in CS Dog Packs if the Coalition doesn't realize that they are aliens.

Omega6

On page 149 of RUE and in the original book as well there is a mutation abnormality table. One of the abnormalities is odd fur color. It is all one color in the desrcription, however I would only use the single color option on a dog that was originally one color. On multi-color dogs, I think it woul...

Salvaging the sunken ships was actually the main reason for my original question. Although, I was not planning on pirates raising the ships. I plan to write some information on CS salvage teams trying to get back what they can, so they won't have to build as many completely new ships. I plan to have...

Omega6

Thanks for the responses. I have been working on some new CS material for submission and some of it will have to do with the Navy.

Omega6

Where can I find information on what happened to the Coalition Navy's losing battle against Free Quebec. I know it is briefly mentioned on page 139 in Aftermath, but I want more specific details. What was destroyed? I find it hard to imagine every single ship being sunk. I could, however, believe th...

Omega6

The way I see it is these are later pieces of equipment in the families we have now. The M-16 family already is quite large, examples include M-16A1, M-16A2, M-4, M-4A1, AR-15, etc... There are various barrel lengths, H-Bar models, even pistol versions. The M-16 in Rifts could be a M-16A33 or M-4A9,...

Omega6

Triax is a pre-rifts manufacturer. The book does not specify when their drones were first created, so I assume that they are pre-rifts designs to keep their tech level similar to the U.S.A.'s. The drones produced by Triax all have more M.D.C. than the CDS. Also the CDS is barely tougher than a stand...

Omega6

I am describing an underbarrel grenade launcher. I do know about the rifle launched grenades that you descibed as well. But since the grenades fired by the WI-GL8 are the style used by a 40mm and are called "standard rifle grenades", I assumed that the origanal author meant for this to be ...

Omega6

The 13mm is the size for the bullets, not the grenades. It appears to have an underbarrel, which should be the built in grenade launcher. The WI-GL8 fires 40mm grenades, since it is short version of the WI-GL4, which is a MD version of the modern day MM-1. The shotgun shells it fires are described a...

Omega6

WI rifle-lauched grenades are in both Mercenaries and Merc Ops. In Merc Ops, see the WI-GL8 for description. It doesn't say what the ammo capacity of the built in grenade launcher is, so I would assume that it is a single shot launcher, like a modern day M203. The WI-R12 is capable of mounting a WI-...

Omega6

Falling damage has always been 1D6 (S.D.C.) per 10 feet. S.D.C. is 1/100th of M.D.C. So, it would be 1D6x100 or 1D6 M.D. per 1000 feet. A dragon hatching might die if dropped 100,000 feet (1D6x100 M.D.), but an adult dragon would have to be injured beforehand. Also, don't forget to roll with punch/f...

Omega6

I don't know why people complain about power creep. It is up to a gamemaster to balance games. If something is too powerful in his/her opinion, it is not available. If the characters have powerful abilities or equipment, have them fight stronger enemies. I have played many games where we fought grea...

Omega6

If you were to use this form, I would suggest that the character selects 3 W.P. skills that match his tribes' traditional weapon choices. I am part Tlingit (Native Alaskan), and the weapon of choice for this tribe is a double bladed dagger. War clubs would be another weapon to go with this tribe.

Omega6

It does not require a "natural" 12 to get a called shot. It requires a 12+ with bonuses.

Omega6

I was not happy with the myth busters' results with frozen rounds. They had tests that were designed to fail. They were putting the frozen material on a normal cartridge that melted or thawed whatever they were using as bullets. If you are going to use a frozen round, you can not use a hot gas to fi...

Omega6

Australia has an example of old rebuilt power armor.
I would like to see more old designs as well.

Omega6

I didn't realize it was open topped at first.

Why not give the "Grande" a little more M.D.C. (like Main Body: 30), since it is the bigger, upgraded model?

Also, where is this company located?

Omega6

Thank you.

Omega6

Did you ever see the movie "Powder"? The character is a completely hairless albino with psycic powers. This is what I think of for Psi-stalkers. Also, it could be said that the absorbtion of the P.P.E enegry is on a electromagnetic frequency that destroys hair folicles. So, they could have...

First of all, hello, my name is Omega.

I have been trying to find information on Antarctica for Rifts. I know there was a netbook for it somewhere, but when I do a search I get a Star Trek site.

Does anyone have the netbook?
