Why is it restricted to Adventurers and Scholars? Is Kevin seriously saying that a Robot Pilot or a Mind Melter or every one of the various OCCs in the dozens of books can't haggle? Only those few OCCs are able to barter. It was almost a mandatory skill when I was in the military. Do GMs just ignore...

I know it's a GM call, but to the GMs out there, if you allowed armor to be worn with power armor, what would be your limit? Are we going by pictures of what it looks like or are we using actual MDC stats? If it's stats, then how much MDC is too much to be worn while wearing power armor over top of ...

Thought I'd post it and see what kind of feedback I could get. Test the idea. Wanted to incorporate some more high tech setting settings.

I always forget about the GMG, I really need to stop that. Thanks for the help.

Some items and a couple of forums mention it but I looked in both main rule books' skill lists and didn't see it, so where can I find it?

Madhaven introduced the Pseudo-Men Mutants who can, with max rolls, get a PB of 48. How do you roleplay that? Does this person literally stop traffic as they walk by? Do you add an Awe Factor similar to Horror Factor but people are drawn to you rather than repelled? There really is no game mechanic ...

W.P. Archery and Targeting - does it stack with the other wp's for that weapon type? What if any would the interaction between it and W.P. Bow and Arrow? W.P. Archery and W.P. Targeting are now two separate skills, so if you throw an arrow or your bow you'd get the Targeting bonus, but you'd get no...

I was thinking about the offspring of two Cyber-Knights, raised by them as they traveled the countryside and learning from them as they grew older. If all he ever learned was how to be a Cyber-Knight, what would the youngest age be? I was thinking early to mid-teens, 12-16 years old.

HarleeKnight

What is the youngest age possible to be a Cyber-Knight? Is it possible to be a child Cyber-Knight?

HarleeKnight

The spell has a range of touch to cast the spell, but do you have to touch the flame to activate it? Can you say... put it in a cardboard box, toss the box into a hayloft, then walk away and activate it at your leisure or just wait for the 1 month per level to pass before it activates?

They can be Cyber-Knights and there were extenuating circumstances to her being a full psychic... but that's beside the point.

Not quite sure what you're referring to. I've read and re-read the gunslinger OCC description. Looks like they don't get any special damage bonus, just the paired guns attack, which they can use for any attack (after they draw or later in the round.) Can you clarify whar ability you're referring to...

My Quick-Flex Mind Melter, Rita, hated juicers for "accidentally" killing her brother. One of the four that did the killing joined the Valkyri before Rita caught up to her. Rita killed her mark and two more of the merc group. The twins came after her for it. Rita immobilized both of them ...

HarleeKnight

Do they only get the full damage on their attack in the first melee when they draw and attack, or do they get it whenever they use paired guns?

For situations like that, I use the NG-11S "Sawed Off" (WB10 Juicer Uprising pg. 73). The APRJ rounds are my favorite. Took out a Mystic Knight with it. A weapon I was able to get but never really use, on an old character, was the Xiticix TK-Rifle (pg. 82 WB 23 Xiticix Invasion) Wt: 20 lbs...

We had people who wanted to play an Apok on Rifts Earth, but couldn't because the main aspect of the OCC, the mask, is a symbiote which would die within hours if taken off of Wormwood.

Kind of like how old-school armies with muskets would often form firing lines and just sit there shooting at each other, until people started realizing that maybe spreading out and shooting from cover might work better. THAT kind of combat can't work with large power differences. m This is a bit of...

I think it is to do with PP bonuses. PP is such an important ability in hand to hand combat that it was always one of the first choices IF available ... back in the TMNT / Robotech days. I think it is a hang-over from that time. The secondary skill list has always bothered me for this reason - they...

Reading over the OCC and looking at the difference between original and RUE. In the RUE they took away a ton of skills to give you three "abilities" that aren't that great. Also, both versions restrict acrobatics... why? I can understand them restricting gymnastics, but restricting acrobat...

2d6 MDC are healed per day unless the creature has a specified rate for bio-regeneration or similar.

Thank you.

HarleeKnight

Going through the D-Bees of NA and noticed a bunch of races with MDC do not have regeneration. Instead, they heal like humans, sometimes at double or quadruple the rate. Now, humans heal at 2 HP and 4 SDC per day naturally. With professional treatment they heal at 2 HP for the first 2 days then 4 pe...

I'm looking at the Temporal Warrior OCC in WB 3 and Pseudo Man RCC in WB 29, they both give you a generic bonus to strike. These aren't PP bonuses or W.P. bonuses, they're combat bonuses.

HarleeKnight

IF an OCC or RCC gives you a bonus to strike does it get added to guns? It's a non-specific bonus and I could find no answers in any of the books.

HarleeKnight

This OCC gives you no language skills, does that mean you have to use related or secondary skills to speak, or do you get one language to start?
Also, is there an update for this OCC anywhere?

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? This D-Bee is also known to be a Cyber-Knight (Racial Breakdown found in SoT4 pg23): "5% D'norr Devilmen (D...

I doubt you'll find anything with a mirror finish. The minis are just to small. And yet, this exists (product of the Molotow liquid chrome on some 40k models).

There is chrome spray paint that is not aquaphobic. If you use that as your base then black wash over it, you can get some good results.

If there are power gamers in your game, then it's the fault of your GM for allowing it. If there are power gamers in your group, well that's just human nature.

I always thought you could just suck some up and top off from a ley line or a sacrifice, etc., but apparently I was wrong; the way it reads you can only hold PPE from external sources for a limited time.

Since RUE came out after Federation, you could just say that he has to or can use the Secondary Skills list from RUE. RUE Secondary Skills list includes several Pilot Skills.

Thank you. That clears so many things up.

I just joined a new game and some things seemed off to me...
Do pluses to strike you get from any of the H2H skills get added to strikes with a gun or are they just for H2H attacks? What about the ones you get from a high PP? Can you point me to where in the book it states it either way.

HarleeKnight

Can a demigod be combined with an RCC, such as a Jungle Elf (WB6: SA) or an Achilles Neo-Human (WB9: SA2)? They both have to mate to breed, so one of the parents could be a god.
If so, how would you combine them?
