Once again thank you all, am going over various powers and spell to see what is best suited for my character/group.

St. Evil

Thanks for the quick response, everyone. Will have to look into your suggestions.

St. Evil

Can a Shifter track a Shifter through portals/ rifts, that already are closed? If so how would you do that? On a cold trail and told my GM I would go to the boards to see if we can get some info, personally new to Rifts so am still getting a feel for this system as opposed to PF.

St. Evil

Not a spell but, the Circle of Youth found in PF's Old Ones book. Each use will cut your effective age in half I think.

St. Evil

I had a Diabolist object read a Dimensional Rift power circle, to get a better understanding of how to recreate this. Little did he know it was made by an old one (from the secret complex in book 2). As he screamed and screamed the rest of the group had to fight off the rest of the inhabitants. Good...

When I introduced my current group to Palladium, I wish I would have brought in the class specific h2h's.

St. Evil

No I do not, not in the way you describe. The GM did what the GM did and I would not have done it the same way. I have always used GM fiat for my NPC's. About the most "honest" I am w/ GMPC's is something I am just trying out now, where I will have several different GMPC's one each in a se...

Wow how did I miss that.

St. Evil

Nice flavor, will use them in an isolated area, that is generally inhospitable to fairer races, as a hidden ally.

St. Evil

I use a + 1 to AR for every +1 to parry w/ shield. I also only damage a shield if it is targeted. Only have one player that uses it will have to share this w/ him.

St. Evil

If all else fails, have a readily-accessible area-affect ward combination of death, disablement, and general mayhem with the names of the group included for immunity. Force activate as a last-ditch effort. My group is to paranoid to allow their names to be known, even by the party diabolist who has...

St. Evil

Is spell casting in your campaign hard or easy, is it like doing complex algorithms in your head or is it as easy as 1 + 1 = 2 I would say easy. Do you guys give penalties for learning higher level spells and bonuses for lower ? Other than the insane hoop jumping to get the teacher to teach it, no....

Done, have had lots of fun looking over the campaign.

St. Evil

On looking at the 2nd ed book, it is crazy. If one just looks at this book, there are no other RCCs. All races pick OCC or PCC. Should have just said 'Cannot have psionics or choose a PCC'. Later books may have added RCCs to PFRPG but not in the base/core book, so I would ignore the phrase "Op...

St. Evil

Seems to be another inconsistent rule set. As far as I can tell the Cobbler is the most incomplete RCC in PFRPG. Then you look @ Cobbler NPCS written in books with the most complete one in the Free City of Trokker, he is a thief or spy w/no split class. I never looked that far into it but always ass...

St. Evil

I will talk to my players after the holidays and see if they would try this it looks good.

St. Evil

I've been burned by this and had to soak it up then come back out swinging. The main problem in retrospect is you can not always predict how abusive something might be, while you are putting in all this work on a scene or adventure, you can underestimate the ability of a players ability to find a lo...

St. Evil

If u allow NB in Fantasy, then throw in some N&SS. Hit that Nightbane with a Warrior Monk with Chi mastery. Zero Chi = no healing = no regen. Then hit him with Dim-Mak to bring him back to reality. Yes, but then the GM is making an NPC for the sole purpose of defeating/killing a Player's charct...

St. Evil

Played it most weeks for 20 years (running the Place of Magic for my group atm!) Would love to see any notes or musings, as you go through this. I am going to run this in the next six months if all goes to plan. Back to the OP, most every one whom I introduced to the game still plays. Secondly its ...

St. Evil

I was just talking to one of my players about this, how fun. Mystic energy drain 'perm' sewn onto the mage, as a long term solution if you do not want to cut the tongue out.
The biggest problems w/mind mage can be fixed w/ blinding them. So much needs line of sight.

St. Evil

On a somewhat related note, do you think spellcasters should be awarded XP for casting a spell or creating/activating their circles or wards? After all the manipulation of magical energies is considered a skill, isn't it? That is my question as well. I give XP for WP's if roll is contested by a par...

St. Evil

Timiro, the reason is because it is where it all started for me.
Old Timiro would be fun to have more fleshed out but not necessary.
Land of the South Winds, recently I have been wanting to put my own hyborian spin on it though.

St. Evil

How fun will try this out @ my next session.

I was refering to pg 250 of the second edition main book...Greater rune weapons have all the above abilities, inflict 4D6 to 6D6 damage (occasionally 1D4x10 or 1D6x10), and possess other magic abilities. They are extremely rare, considered priceless and typically sell for 20-80 million in gold; 20%...

I would say no, based on what feels right. Unless a range issue comes into play.

Here is a new circle of legend created by the Old Ones.

Could be one circle, or a whole series of them,) Circle of The Mind Slave. ( As Love Potion, with all the same effects.) Circle of In...

St. Evil

How would you play the Mystic Energy Drain ward w/ AoE, that is activated against wards placed and energized to protect or defend an area or object?

St. Evil

1) Are the Circles presented in PFRPG the *only* Circles out there (aside from others that may have appeared in supplements and Rifters)? As in, there are really only those handful of magic Circles and Summoner's, Shifters, and/or other Circle magic specialists don't really need/want more. 2) If th...

St. Evil

Looking forward to see what you create.

St. Evil

Thanks for the ideas.

I'm looking for a random percentile chart to determine if the characters are near or on a ley line. Sometimes the two mages ask me that, and I really don't know how to answer if they've randomly stumbled onto one or not. How common are ley lines and nexuses in a PFRPG world?

Cool. I've got some gamers I'd like to introduce Rifts to as well. What sort of adventure have you got planned out? Part of my problem is that the world is so huge, I have a hard time picking a starting spot. For the first eight weeks we will be working entirely out of the core book. I polled the p...

Here here. I love the settings and read the books just for fun in-between my normal reading and to get ideas for what I run next, any new or updated material would be fun to see.

In the lowest level of the Place of Magic, in the Old Ones book.

St. Evil

The Old Ones book has given me years of entertainment & ideas. In my current campaign of three years I am just now getting to the big adventure, just after a few more loose ends.

St. Evil

I always have a soft spot in my heart for a Cloak of Shadows. My first magic item ever acquired when I first played PF.
The no named steel gauntlets w/ glowing red runes from the Shrine of Ventax. I know it isn't exactly cannon but a fun adventure from Rifter 11.

1. Where exactly does it state the ease to destroy a circle? I have seen posted a kid w/ a can of paint can ruin a circle but that seems wrong to me. When active it seems to me that the circle is "preserved", hence the circle of contagion under water and muck in the Place of Magic. 2. If t...

I voted the Palladium Setting I have mixed my favorite fantasy series into the world, The Garret Files has some great city adventure ideas.

Your welcome, I can say that other skills are are OCC related skill, Drewkitty & others probably knows about RCC skills and what not hopefully they see this topic. I have not had to think about that so have no president for that.

Step 3 of character creation page 21 column 1 read the major psionic section in the player handbook. Also if you do not like the penalties ask the GM if you can skip psionics altogether.

St. Evil

Go to the cutting room floor and they have a NPC sheet that has 18 spaces on it. For most encounters you could use one of these. It also depends on how fleshed out you want the NPC. In my experience the NPC in the books are good for quick reference but they tend to be weaker than if you were to actu...
