I was wondering because in MDC description of the the Doombringer and the Protector it says destroying the "bridge" would eliminate the main computer and master controls and injure crew members but there are secondary controls in engineering. So would the bridge be where the command crew ...

Just curious what are the rules to targeting the bridge on ships in phase world. Can you target the bridge if so, what would the penalty be and do you have to get through the main body mdc first? In the Fleets of the three galaxies it states that fighters can focus attacks on small strategic target...

explaining a complex concept, conveying your message when there's some kind of interferance (noise you can't just shout over) trying to impress someone with your grasp of the language, that sorta thing. So do you roll it if you're trying to have a conversation if let's say you have it at like 60%? ...

When do you roll on the language skill?

Regarding immunities/impervious to damage, what does plasma count as? fire or energy?

Hello

is there an OCC that excels at divination, observation, remote viewing, detecting falsehood, etc? Would that be a psionic occ? Mind Melter?

Thanks

There is a Mining Full Conversion Cyborg OCC in Rifts WB14 New West that is geared toward the labor aspect of mining. Said class sectioned title is "Mining 'Borg/Prospector O.C.C." You also have the Warlock OCC (Earth focus) with the right skills and Elemental spell selection could do a g...

Hello

I'm making a geologist/miner and i'm wondering if there was a occ that fits in one of the books or rifters. Or would the rogue scholar/scientist be the best option?

Thanks

I would assume that is why they would need artificial lungs. They would have the ability to breathe under water naturally and not need them for regular breathing. This is one of those poorly written things because all you would really need is some sort of air accumlation device that puts the air in...

I was looking in Aliens Unlimited and I was wondering how bionic (artificial) lungs work with Aquatic races? For example the Cherion; who are masters of bionics, states that 15% are equipped with artificial lungs. Does that allow them to function on the surface for a decent amount of time?

Thanks

I'm wondering when you need to roll a language skill roll? Do you need to roll on it whenever you have a conversation? What about Literacy?

Thanks

Thanks. I'm going with Air Warlock.

cbrekkas

Thanks. Yea I was leaning towards the Warlock? Any suggestions which element?

Thanks. I see that Wizards have a wider spread of spells but Warlock have a elemental familiar but limited spell selection.

Hi

I'm trying to decide between playing a magic user but not really sure which OCC to pick as each would be fun. I'm looking for any suggestions since this is my first time playing a magic user in Palladium Fantasy.

Thanks

When out of the kiridin lands I found it fun to blame everything bad that happened on the civilization causing the stigma to be worse, (ooh look its raining this morning, that's because that stupid innkeeper painted his roof red and offended the spirits. We were attacked by orcs, stupid farmers wea...

Magic weapons yes, however they tend to not like swords of flight or invisibility or the like, but like flaming swords /indestructible/sharp basically anything that does more damage is fine. Holistic potions yes potions of strength and speed yes mostly no to everything else. scrolls rings wands etc...

Magic of the civilised peoples is not trusted (priests wizards warlocks etc)

I was thinking the same. What about magic items?

cbrekkas

I was looking at the Barbarian OCC from the Northern Hinterlands and I read that they distrust all magic users but still are mystical people. Would they be more accepting of Shamanistic magic and would they use magic items or avoid them like the magic using "outsiders"?

Thanks

Thanks that helps

I was wondering how many words would a player be able to say during a melee round? I know a melee round is roughly 15 seconds. I have a player playing a magic user who would like to speak an incantation during casting a spell. For example the spell Exodus from the bastard anime "Boo Ray, Boo Ra...

I was looking at the supernatural damage conversion chart for martial art hand to hand in Rifter #3. I realized that a supernatural punch for a PS of 00-15 for example does 4d6 SDC (based on d4) but if the same supernatural character is wielding a sword for example they would only do 1d6-2d6 SDC wo...

How does someone go about learning a second hand to hand? Does it require both skill cost and year cost if it's a martial art?

Unfortunately with that unstable power option the mutant only has powers for 1d6 minutes or when the condition changes. So that limits what APS forms you can choose in a way and still be of use since the mutant's hp/sdc won't be able to heal up within that 1d6 minute time limit, etc.

cbrekkas

So basically APS forms with a set SDC base would be the preferred choices when using the unstable power option activating only when close to death; otherwise, the mutant would have little SDC pool.

cbrekkas

Thanks that helps.

cbrekkas

I was wondering when a mutant gains a APS form when he's at only 20 hp (41 -60 Trauma induced change) does he get the stated SDC for that form? Some APS have a static SDC base where other APS like fire only provides a bonus to SDC. If he only gets the APS when he loses all SDC and is at 20 hp would ...

I agree that more powerful classes should require more xp to level. I wasn't debating that issue. I was just wondering how other gms dealt with; for example, 1 player gaining xp (skill uses when necessary, good ideas/plans, etc) faster than other players. In some ways the xp system penalizes players...

How do you deal with players requiring different amounts of xp to level or gaining xp at different rates (skill uses, role playing, good plans, etc)? I have a small group (2 players) in a heroes unlimited games. 1 player is playing a magic hero and the other one is playing a mega hero. The magic her...

Is supernatural ps granted from super power considered magic? Can a super powered or alien hero with supernatural PS harm monsters immune to normal damage or would they be considered magic even if they're not a creature of magic? (monster can only be damaged by magic, fire or holy)

I was wondering, when awarding xp for combat is the xp based on encounter or per opponent in that encounter? Also what is a minor and major menace anyways? I'm assuming it depends on each character.
