i would use the most recent stats. two reasons. first they are the ones that are the most coherent and cause the least difficulties in record keeping (the single shot and burst numbers actually matching up for example.) second those older stats were written with the RMB burst rules in mind, and par...

So here is my question. How many shots can you get out of it from a standard e-clip? I'll toss out a non-traditional answer: It can't. If you look at the Wilk's 447 (same page in SB1R) it states that it can not use a long e-clip. Which means there's a significant difference between a short and long...

dragonfett

I'm hazarding a guess that the capacity in SB1R was changed to a number better divisible by three due to the pulse shot. Except in the Original SB1 it already had a shot capacity with a standard e-clip that was easily divisible by 3 (30), it was the long e-clip that the number was no longer easily ...

dragonfett

So the first introduction of the Wilk's 457 was way back in Sourcebook 1, where the shot capacity for it was given as 30 for a standard e-clip or 40 for a long e-clip. When it was reprinted New West, it was stated as having 30 single shots per standard long e-clip (what is a standard long e-clip). F...

This is for a character I am wanting to make for a game and the GM tends to be a stickler for the rules.

dragonfett

So D'norr are listed as being able to become TW's, but are listed as having absolutely no capacity for psionics. However, TW's automatically get psionics. How would/should this work out? Available OCC's: Any, including Men at Arms, but most lean toward Adventurers and Scholars, or Practitioners of M...

Where would it be, geographically?

I find that it's near impossible to get a game going when your kids are in their teens and working when you are their ride (it also doesn't help that they are members of said gaming group...) We just planned it. Saturday night OR Friday night was game night. They could choose one or the other. For ...

The Gunbuster doesn't get enough love IMHO as the basis of newer hardware. The thermal resistance armor isn't too over the top considering the likely advances in heat tile protection for spacecraft during the Golden Age. The underwater speed of 45 MPH IS a bit much for a power armor, which tend to ...

dragonfett

That is why there is another level one spell that is light based which is meant to blind, Blinding Flash. It costs 1 PPE to cast, and is the only spell that I am aware of that allows you to pump extra PPE into it to make people have a penalty to save vs. it.

These are awesome!! Thank you so much for all your hard work. Some Robot/Power Armor Pilots would be great for a future one. Thanks! I'm glad you like them. The tricky thing about RPA pilots is that, by themselves, they are incomplete; you need the stats of the robot or power armor to really make t...

I would personally say that the size of a given tattoo is roughly the size of a Skoal can.

Oh, TW Molten Hull Breaching Charge, using the spell River of Lava to create lava right on the hull of a ship to breach it!

dragonfett

You start taking penalties if your target is moving or if you are moving, and if you are doing a called aimed shot to a small item (like the head or smaller), you take a penalty as well. This is why stealth is so important for a sniper. That's one small piece of why stealth is so important for a sn...

I don't recall which Rifter it was in, but there is an article concerning CS Snipers (TAG: Target Acquisition Group) which contained special sniper skills as well. Being a Rifter Article means it's entirely optional (really, all of the rules are) with a 99% it's not official (I say that as the Rifte...

There is a Combat Magic spell called Shockblade. It is an 8th level spell.

Thank you guys!

Is there any material (official or not) that deals with kingdom building in the Phase World setting? I'm looking at picking up Star Empires for Starfinder otherwise.

dragonfett

I believe he's referring to the Merc Soldier and Robot Pilot OCC's specifically in the RUE on pages 81 and 83, respectively, in that they do not have OCC bonuses to things like PS and PE and so on and so forth where as OCC's that were in the orignal RMB that got updated in the RUE got OCC bonuses. G...

I'm just trying to keep the ideas flowing

dragonfett

A Full Combat 'Borg ought to be pretty easy.

dragonfett

This could be handled one of two ways:

1) Treat it like an actual grenade type explosion, and have them take 1/2 damage unless they are able to move outside of the AoE.

2) Treat it like the Fireball spell (or other AoE spells) and the target takes no damage on a successful saving throw.

dragonfett

So exactly what are the instructions?

dragonfett

The standard invocation of Levitation has a saving throw. The Air Warlock version does not. This has been true across multiple reprintings, including where the actual text of both has slightly shifted over the years. Ergo, it is possible for someone to resist a Shifter casting levitation, but there...

dragonfett

If a Techno-Wizard were to learn a Spell of Legend and wanted to incorporate it into a device, could they?

dragonfett

Is it possible to cast levitate on an unwilling target, or in something they are wearing (like armor). The spell has no saving throw and can be cast upon others and objects.

dragonfett

As part of a TW build, I'd allow it to grant two extra attacks.

dragonfett

If a creature with high SNPS tries to punt (i.e. power kick) an human sized opponent with normal PS, would parrying the kick, even if successful by the die roll, do any good?

dragonfett

Exactly what would you constitute as overly large, then? The size of a wolfen is roughly 2x big (not talking just height here).

dragonfett

Why not s triceratops for the exotic mount.

dragonfett

Promethean Phase Adepts are the closest that I can think of in that they can sacrifice skill slots as they level up for Temporal Spells.

Well presumably, by 12th level they could have afforded the time and money for every spell from 1st to 4th level.

Ah, ok. Thank you.

I can't recall just where I had seen it, but there is a mention somewhere about how pay lines interfere with radio signals. Going with that thought, do you think let lines also mess with compasses?

I just thought of a question and I was wondering, would the round from Boom Gun still deliver the same amount of damage to targets (or, more precisely, anything that they hit) beyond its range?

I have had thoughts of making a TW Potion Maker from a coffee pot, the Spell Talisman, Create Water, Water to Wine (for the act of transforming the water), and then have the tray you put coffee grinds in enchanted differently so you could use the same Potion Maker to make different potions.

I have always thought it hilarious that the CS weapons of war like the UAR-1 (or really any manufacturer of robot vehicles, really) had a little more than 4-7x the armor of a grunt's body armor, and the main weapon on it did roughly 2.5x the damage of the standard infantry rifle (C-12), despite send...

I do not see it about an immunity to magic but as something the juicers biocomp would fight. Thus preventing the cold blood from taking properly causing the conversion to fail. So to remove the biocomp you have to by the rules detox the juicers. (it is not a hard rule but how I see it.) Do you also...

I didn't think RPA Combat had Pilot: RPA as a prerequisite. But I do agree having RPA Combat without Weapon Systems doesn't make sense.

WP Heavy's discription in RUE includes a section about Grenade Launcher Rifles, with text on attachment types for assault rifles. So WP Heavy would be required.

Perhaps when it mentions standard issue as of the Tolkeen Wars, what they meant was standard issue for Dog Boys going to fight on the front lines, which would make more sense.
