Not many can really afford even simple MDC clothing.

I would like to add-I voted and would like to see (as I've noticed many others do as well) something like 1:10. I know this would take some careful attention perhaps a total rework of the entire setting, but still I would like to see it. +1 I would be more inclined to be okay with MDC weapons if we...

NIGHTBANE
if that is not an option Spirit Host, rifts China (They can only take on human form temporarily).

Mad Cow Milk

Yeah, mine has got to be the MDC:SDC ratio.

I think 1:10 would make more sense.

I remember reading that line somewhere in one of the books as well.

Thank you

Updated the top post.

I am tying to prove something to a GM. (not my GM, but a GM)

Mad Cow Milk

I have never seen prowl handled well in any of the Palladium books. Any reference would be great actually, such as examples of using it to hide. Most of the fluff bits don't actually lable the skills being used, but here's a page or so before the crunch for the CS SEALs that shows them sneaking up ...

Mad Cow Milk

Does anyone have a good source book for how prowl is supposed to be used? Could really use the page number of the book, preferably RUE.

P.S. I am trying to discuss something with a GM running a game. So I am trying to give him an example of the intended use of Prowl.

Thank you,
MCM

Mad Cow Milk

Thanks everyone!

I have given the GM notice that I was out of the game.

Mad Cow Milk

Well I reached him with the use of Camouflage skill as it is covering what he is looking for. He agreed. However this has been one too many times he has caused me too much of a problem in a game that is supposed to be fun. I think this is it for me and this GM. The only sad part is that he is the on...

Mad Cow Milk

I know, I sometimes really wanted to. Yeah the guy has been nothing but problems, this is just the latest issue. So even if he okays this camouflage skill, I probably won't be going back anyway. Just seems like he keeps trying to find reasons for me NOT to do stuff, even simple things. I wanted my 2...

He does not care. We use primarily the RUE as it is.

*Tilts head* What's he claiming the difference between "Prowl" and "hide"? He is claiming that prowl is only about movement without being noticed, while hide is about finding a place to stay and not be noticed. Camouflage. I have that skill. But that is using tools. Will bring i...

Mad Cow Milk

Well I am currently contemplating quitting my current game. I have built a character around sneaking and hiding. Now that he is 7th level the GM has decided to introduce the hide skill. He is not giving it to me for free, but I will need to buy the skill and start leveling it normally. I will not ge...

Mad Cow Milk

I was wondering if there was any printed rules, errata's, or rifters that covered full borg Endurance and Sleep.

I imagine you do need one for things such as magic saving throws.

Thank you.

Mad Cow Milk

If armor can't protect you why wear it? He has made comments that it reduces the effect, but I surely didn't at all in our last game where an enemy bullrushed another player with normal human strength, knocked them on their butt and dealt a decent about of SDC damage (17 points or so) to the person...

Mad Cow Milk

Hello I have this GM that has gone Nazi realistic with physics in the game. He has instilled that if you fall while wearing armor you take most of the fall damage. This has translated to being knocked down too. What can I do about this? Are there any rules that cover this? By his own logic, if a sup...

Mad Cow Milk

So what strength type do these power armor have? Robotic or Enhanced? The damage they are doing is robotic.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions on some power armor that has an enhanced strength of 28 or higher/greater?

Thank you

Mad Cow Milk

I think the better question is why they haven't made a light frame base cyborg and have a bunch of modular suits that the cyborg can hook into that would make him the equivalent of the heavier versions. In fact, why hasn't the CS done this? They keep forcing themselves to run a cyborg through a com...

Mad Cow Milk

As I mentioned before, I made a cyborg focused on piloting robots and power armor using the light machine from Rifts Russia. I was mistaken originally as the cyborg only has Enhanced Strength of 28, not robotic. So I am now re-looking at the available power armors, specifically the cheaper ones with...

I would just like to share my theory on the creation of nightbane if I was the writer, as well a hear what others would do. Nightbane are not the true owners and inhabitants of the Shadow Lands. Rather a nightbane is created when a fragment of the dimensional barrier between the Shadow Lands falls o...

I've always felt there should be a 'skill tree', with prerequisites. Therefore, the Mechanic tree would go: General Repair-Maintenence Basic Mechanics Auto Mechanics Robot Mechanics (or aircraft mechanics) You could not have one without all of those below it. Another example: First Aid Paramedic MD...

Mad Cow Milk

Which is why the Cyber Humanoid is the most PA friendly cyborg. But the Cyber Humanoid is a body frame completely linked to a O.C.C. that can't take Pilot Robots and Power Armor. Only the Techno-Hound Headhunter and the Russian Light Machine can take Pilot Robots and PA (and O.C.C.'s from Triax 2, ...

It would have been easier to just say, "takes physical damage from supernatural creatures and creatures of magic as if it were SDC." That way you dont have to think about conditional situations. According to RUE, a psi-stalker in hand to hand combat with a brodkil can take a JA-12 blast t...

I never said I didn't like the setting. Please tell me where I said that. It is still your opnion that 10-1 ratio is wrong if that is how people think it should be. The game is designed to allow people to modify it as they see fit. You said as much when you said "this is not good, it must be c...

I am assuming that they all gain literacy in their native language?

Mad Cow Milk

I knew some cultures and countries all gain a standard set of skills that they all learn.

Some of their classes seem to be lacking some vital skills, such as hunting.

I was wondering if I am missing this section in the book somewhere or not.

Mad Cow Milk

I can think of hundreds of reasons. Is there ever a reason in real life that a person would want to use a rifle instead of a machine gun? I mean the machine gun is generally better at getting stuff dead. SDC over MD weapon, reason 1. Restricted in a city. Reason 2. You are in an environment where o...

This is true. Squaresoft was able to put the cease and desist on the Chronology Trigger fan game that was being made. However, honestly, I really doubt Kevin would care.

Your regeneration rate does not change between forms. If you look at the layout of when the abilities listed in the R.C.C. this should be a bit more clear. Nope. There are two different regeneration rates. Check the Nightbane Q&A (material cut from the NBSG) in Rifter #48. As far as Nightbane r...

Okay, as a cyborg from the Russia book you have the following choices with that come with the prowl skill & a bonus to prowl: -Mantis, prowl +5% -Assassin cyborg, prowl +15% -Avenging Angel, prowl +15% I think the mantis bonus should be higher, but thats just me...apparently the borg doesn't do...

I'm still voting for the white tiger borg from Russia. Its 10' tall, 6' wide, weighing in at two tons worth of pure style...its also very fast with no prowl penalty.
