That whole Impervious to Energy thing doesn't mention protecting gear though right? It kinda does... in the fluff. MKotWR can ride War Birds when the bird has their MDC energy aura active. I doubt they ride them naked, so one could extrapolate that the Impervious to Energy protects their worn gear....

HarleeKnight

Yes, they can. Madhaven states that there are some Haven Mutants that are MKs, and all Haven Mutants are MDC creatures.

People today are aware of hackers. They know that their cloud accounts can be violated. They have all seen and heard of it happening to other people. Yet, they still continue to take illicit pictures of themselves and use the cloud for storage. These people are also always surprised when they get ha...

No magic. No psionics. No superpowers. Just starting gear and skills and whatever else you may find along the way. How have you done it? Is it even possible in a mid to high level campaign?

I was combing through Lone Star (World Book 13) today and pretty much had the same experience as Mikel mentions in this locked 2013 thread m It's labelled on all the maps but I can't find any reference to it. Does anyone? Canonical or otherwise, I'd be interested in fan ideas too. The biggest map t...

Palladium... a) Has never listed the burst damage for any of those settings. If 5 shots was intended to follow standard rules (20% of 25 or 50% of 10) then there wouldn't have been a need to do that. Not entirely sure what you're trying to say here, but... it's not intended to follow standard burst...

Why are the Sunaj the only ones that have done this. It seems that the Splugorth would have figured this one out a long time ago. Why isn't it known among regular True Atlanteans? You gotta figure that anything that gives them an edge against monsters would be something worth looking into. 1. Maste...

Why are the Sunaj the only ones that have done this. Because it would brutally cripple them as T-men. The Master Psychic Sunaj Assassin only has 7 tattoos (JUST enough to turn him MDC), and gets far fewer as they level up as well. And they lose about half their OCC skills. Theyre basically a just-b...

So, is it a skill? Is it a power? How does everyone use it? It's one of the things that has always confused me in this game and I just kept forgetting to ask. Oddly, my characters that meditate always just grabbed the power at character creation but it always seemed odd that I had waste (?&...

Because, apparently, my new group thinks of tanks differently than I do, would my Mystic Knight of the White Rose, who is immune to energy weapons damage and wears TW Regenerating Infiltration Armor with 100 MDC along with a Talisman of Armor with 100 MDC 3 times a day, be considered a tank or a ca...

It’s simple I started a RIFTS group on Facebook and I want to plug it here. If that’s ok anyone who loves RIFTS and Palladium in general is welcome and encouraged to join. Thank you Some advice... If you're going to plug something, you should probably not forget to name the thing you are plugging.

Sure, the smaller squads like Mercenaries are more vunerable, but that's also why "high powered supernatural security squad" is one of the available features to mercenary companies. so is Psionic Sensitive groups. Basically they might not have the support or backup or airstrikes of an est...

Now, for the record, I would never use my combo against an army because I would never go against an army. I would, however, use it against a squad, a mercenary group, raiders, etc.; you know, the small things most groups go up against. Also, I would use it while the rest of my group is distracting t...

oh yeah. RUE 166, noice. This plus meditation would be a good pair of healing psi for most magic users, since you usually meditate to get PPE back faster anyway.

Lol... nice work around. I love it. No need to borrow it from Nightbane though. It's in the RUE.

HarleeKnight

Based off of what you wrote, no, they're barred from drawing upon any outside source for PPE. This would prevent them both from refilling and over-charging themselves. Having said that I don't recall what book they're from so I'd appreciate that info to try to better answer the question. Adventure ...

HarleeKnight

They can't draw extra PPE from ley lines, nexus, or any other PPE source, but what exactly does that mean? I figure they can't use the PPE from these sources to power their spells and devices, but can they refill their personal PPE tank from them? IF they can, can they over-charge themselves with th...

Palladium Fantasy has some poisons for the Assassin class. In general they're underwhelming. There's basically no poison that will reliably kill a healthy adult human of middling level unless you get the venom of Jormungar. Then I think I shall make some... unless, did Earthling gain a resistance o...

Have your buddy take a look at this. It' a guide to all the spells in Rifts... well, most of them anyways. It discusses which ones are useful and which ones are just garbage.

Some have suggested demigods can choose to be superheroes.. how are you justifying, or what sections in what book is giving you that impression(not saying anyone is incorrect, just want to understand your reasoning)?

I think the one T archer picture in the splynn market book is probably how I would set mine up if I had these. Most are in an arc across their chest so your right hand can easily touch all of them.

I ask because the dude on page 87 of Atlantis has them pretty small. He has 3 on his forehead and 3 on his left pec. So if there is no size restriction, why have them all spread out? You could, conservatively, put 24+ tattoos on one arm (12 on the forearm, 9 on the upper arm, and 3 on the shoulder),...

How big do magic tattoos have to be? Is there a minimum size?

Those beings that get an auto-dodge due to race, such as the Lanotaur and the Quickflex don't get any improvements to it as they get higher levels. Those that get it due to science, such as the Juicer and the Crazies, hell even a normal human with HtH: Commando get bonuses as they get higher levels....

The OCC reminds me of the Brotherhood Red Priest, Thoros, on Game of Thrones. Looks interesting. Certainly getting my creative gears spinning.

HarleeKnight

I'm going to say it's a Combat cyborg. Mainly because of the size in comparison to the soldier, and how on page 138 the cyborg is depicted against humans. Both pictures are from the same artist, and that usually helps determine things. Also you can always ask Chuck - he has been fairly active in th...

Has anyone played a normal Rifts character who was rifted into the past, into Chaos Earth? Is it even possible to rift into the past? We know it's canon to rift into the future, but I've never heard any story on the reverse.

On pg. 112 of Heroes of Humanity, we see the Skelebot Specialist accompanied by 2 robots. In the foreground is the newer FASSAR-30, but what's behind him? Is that a new Skelebot or maybe a 'Borg?

The general consensus on this forum is that they can purchase/learn Invocations the same as a LLW. However, that's not expressly stated in any book.

The silly answer is what you're missing in that issue is the table of contents. They're described in the previous issue. Essentially most babies born on a nexus point have an additional 4-24 P.P.E.

My thoughts exactly... Biomancy was interesting before, but now it's downright sexy.

HarleeKnight

Would a jungle elf who chose the Mystic OCC combine the PPE and ISP of the OCC with the racial PPE and ISP he gets?
Also, would the racial psionic powers and Biomancy powers be added to those gained from the OCC or would the OCC supersede those of the race?

At the end of most offensive tattoos it now states... NOTE: Damage is SDC against SDC opponents and MD against Mega-Damage opponents. Does this mean they have been nerfed? RAW, it's pretty clear they did, but does anybody know why? If they aren't, then why the distinction in only some of the tattoos?

Pg. 203 Spirit West has an MDC bow and an MDC Laser Bow, along with arrow prices.
