So what would happen if you used the Power Matrix and linked the Circle of Immortality(see:Adventures of the High Seas 2nd ed.)with the Power Circles Force,Wonder,and Power and maybe even drew a giant circle around them using the symbol of Inward directed Force (and maybe even put a Ward of Peramenc...

Dec.23,2009 Today i've added a Magic and Psionics section. Please see my comments about the 4th Level Spell Energy Feild. Also I will try to update in the future as much as I can to include some of the Rules(space permitting of course)that are only currently listed as a reference to a page number(s)...

Today I have included the Vampire Killing Bite damage while in humanoid form under both the Combat and O.C.C./R.C.C. sections.
I found it Listed in Old Ones 2nd ed. on p.197. Also I have added a few more little details to the Half-Elf.

Well here's a matrix for you. Good late night reading or something. Speed = Miles per hour (note that 0.1 mile = 528 feet) 1 = 0.681818182 2 = 1.363636364 3 = 2.045454546 4 = 2.727272728 5 = 3.4090909099999998 6 = 4.090909092 7 = 4.772727274 8 = 5.454545456 9 = 6.136363638 10 = 6.8181818199999995 1...

I want to see the God the Defilers whorshiped. what's his name agian?

Scorpion Leader

Gee guys, there is way too much math involved with getting the Spd to Mph don't you think? I hope we can someday get a good easy solution to this problem that Palladium will use. But Anyway ethier way you guys are all great and a great help as well. In the mean time please check out My Half-elf R.C....

Scorpion Leader

I read Tumbling wrong. My assumption would be the base jump is 5ft long and 4ft high. Increasing this would only be based on your Spd since this seems to be the norm amongst monster races. Madman Mike designed the character sheets in Book 3, so he may know why it was left in. Swim is PS X 3 in yard...

What is the real bite damage for a vampire anyway? (human form)Does anyone know?
I saw it once somewhere in a Palladium Publication but have now forgotten.

Scorpion Leader

Yes Please, Especially Elven and Dwarven Gods/Godesses palladium is sooo lacking in them right now!! My character is an Female Elf Palladin but right now outside of Ruga,Issiaron,Isis,Thoth,Algor,Good Dragonwright, and Belimar there are no Deties that are really that appealing. (ie.the Nothern Gods ...

Thanks everybody for your posts and comments so far, they have all been really helpful to me and hopefully to other player's,GM's, and Palladium Books as well.

Scorpion Leader

The Spd to MPH formula is not the same given the Speed chart in the book. There's a .01 variance to the value required to obtain the MPH. Additionally, there is a .015 variance for converting Spd to Kph. The formulas are Spd x Y = mph, and Spd x Z = kph There are 3 variants for both Y and Z. Y came...

Optional races can always be creatred and posted to the Monstrous Creations thread. You know i've noticed how Kevin Siembieda likes to referrence Star Wars & Star Trek at times, he's a Scifi Guy, Yet he won't allow Half-elves?? So I guess the Ultimate Futuristic space Half-Elf, if we can be all...

Did you see the "Differences in Edition" thread stickied at the top of the forum? http://forums.palladium-megaverse.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=48575 Yes, I found nothing too helpful there, and we are not talking differences in Editions here (ie. PFRPG rules vs. PFRPG 2nd Ed. rules), we a...

Scorpion Leader

I'm a little confused; is the purpose to post 1st edition rules, or 2nd edition rules? Because by 2nd edition rules, your speed is yards/meters = Spd X 20. You are partly correct, it is Spd x 20 as you state, but its yards/meters covered per Minute not per Melee. Spd x 5 is yards/meters per melee r...

Also why can Holy Crusaders choose from spell levels 1-4 and Priests of all Types can only choose from spell levels 1-3? Holy Crusaders were written in 1E, whereas Priests have been updated to 2E. The 2E update bent priests over a table and did impolite non-consensual things to them without using l...

Scorpion Leader

Ok, the Holy Crusader and Witch Hunter have no structure or hierarchy unless one reads (as was my interpretation) that they are tied to the Church of Light and Dark. I see more Witch-Hunter's now siding with the factions and the Church of Light or Cult of the Great One than the factions of Darkness...

Side Note: I'd also like to have The Wampyr as well as the Burster included in a future Supplement.

Scorpion Leader

If nothing else I'd do half ogres are they are supposedly closely related to mankind according to PFRPG. The half ogre just being an ogre doesn't jive with other fantasy nor with reality as halfbreeds don't simply inherit a single parents gene pool, they have traits of both parents (tiger-lion hybr...

Scorpion Leader

Okay i'll admit,before anyone points it out, that using Remove Curse is a Bad Spell example seeing that Spell is of a higher level than what a Holy Crusader or Warrior Priest can Choose From. However the Holy Crusader could have Light Healing (see: Mysteries of Magic) and/or Cure Minor Disorders as ...

Scorpion Leader

Maybe we need Kevin to anwser this one? He being the co-author, game system creator and all.
Maybe he forgot about Law being part of Lore: Culture and Customs.

Personally, I would read the difference as being that the Lore skill includes an understanding of how things are traditionally handled and "common law" items, while the Law skill is a technical proficiency in practicing it and navigating the tricks and loopholes. One is an anthropologist'...

Also a reconisance fighter. Either built in or carrying a sensor pack have much more powerful/extended range sensors. Something that is good at burning through stealth.

Yah,
That would be awesomely cool too!!(would have FTL for Long Range Recon of course??)

Scorpion Leader

I agree on both accounts. It wouldn't be to hard to come up with basic rules like point blank is 1/10th maximum range, 1/4 for short, 1/2 for medium, and up to the full range for long. Maybe you tinker with it for different weapon types or maybe you just keep it the same across the board. For diffe...
