Is there any other rounds that do MD from an SDC weapon? MiO has some explosive rounds, I believe. Also, I think there might be something in one of the bionic weapons, but I can't remember for sure. Also could a tech wizard make bullets into single use devices? Up to the GM. I'd probably say no. Wa...

Crazy, the ONE place I didn't look. So that would mean that the skill listing in RUE is incomplete.

Thanks.

LOL, damn, and what pray tell is the GDC to MDC ratio?

By the rules it's 1:1,000,000.

I was reading the thread on making a hacker and it got me in the mood to break out my Bionic Sourcebook. So I flip over to the Hack Rat and take a look at the OCC Skills. Impressive... yep, this is definitely a class that revolves around hacking... and then I see the skill "Cyberjacking" w...

SkyeFyre

It seems like you could make some great Hackers that use Psionics. You only need Speed Reading, Total Recall, Mind Block, Object Read, and Telemachanics. If you can get super psionics its even better, say like a Mind Melter Hacker seems pretty good. I think you miss Machine Ghost psi-power, which a...

Not doing anything was his action.

When someone dodges they lose their NEXT attack, not just one from the total.

SkyeFyre

I find it too cumbersome. If it works for you, great... it's a neat mechanic, but I don't see it being practical for actual combat.

What's needed is a simple change that can be applied across the board to Mega-Damage combat without adding any time to a combat encounter.

Human Vagabonds in Halloween costumes. Not very powerful, but very clean.

It sounds to me like the Baal-rog wasn't played correctly. My Rifts party (Yes I realize we're talking PF) had quite the fun time with one of them and at the time they were around the same level as your party and they were armed to the teeth. We had a Maxi-Killer, A Great Horned Dragon Hatchling, a ...

I'd suggest also looking into what it takes to actually make black powder. They need Sulfur, Charcoal, and Saltpeter (The latter which from what I've read took quite a while to form in large quantities. So in addition to all of the other problems with these weapons they would need to worry about get...

SkyeFyre

No, not really. I can make changes all I want, I don't need a book to give me alternate versions of already existing material. What I want is completely new material primarily in the form of dimension books as Rifts Earth is getting rather crowded and is far from the post-apocalyptic world it origin...

SkyeFyre

It doesn't matter how it originates... what hits them is energy... therefore no damage.

Mechanoid Space

I've been waiting since 1994... I want it darnit!

I am usually against house ruling. I like my Rifts vanilla, but honestly I don't know why this wasn't implemented into the game to begin with. I think I shall be adding this to the short list of house rules I use. It's always bothered me that supposed men at arms classes were no better than say a ro...

SkyeFyre

Ok, let's try this one again. No.

SkyeFyre

If you want to have your cyberknightis be diagnosed, redo this fight, keep the equipment the same, except make *both* characters level 1. If Cyberknights are truly the equals of Maxi-killers, then making both of them level 1 shouldn't be a problem.. should it? In a well-balanced game, the levels sh...

SkyeFyre

I've had a cyberknight in my group for a good many years now and to be honest I find the Psi-sword a formidable weapon in the hands of the CK. Whenever he gets into melee range it's over. Against someone using a gun, they can't even hit him on his way to them because of his Zen-Combat thing. Then on...

Have we all forgotten M.O.M. implants? Because nobody wants something this over the top to be sane right?

This is my own interpretation of how to read Rifts meta-plot following chronologically, sort of (in yellow, main meta-plot related books, in green related books to the main meta-plot books. Arrows indicate some relation). Reading order from top to bottom. Hope this helps. Only thing that really cau...

The way I would play it out. Those who are pinned down are shooting wild if they pop up and fire. This would be following the canon rules of when under fire you fire wild. Those who are doing the firing do not need to take an extra action to aim at their target behind cover as they are already firin...

Ditto. Need details though.

It sounds similar to the write up I've started writing on different brands of weapons manufacturers and the quality of their weapons. My goal was not to alter the damage values but put in different quirks like... A Wilk's laser pistol is superior to an NG Laser pistol in that it doesn't make a small...

I have a system, however it's mostly a heavily modified version of a tabletop strategy game so I wouldn't be able to share it due to conversion issues.

I assume mobuttu is someone on the forums? If so, are they still around? I'd love to get the original file in an image format (I'm assuming he made it in an image format then converted to pdf) instead of PDF so I can make some modifications for my own game, plus I just find it easier to zoom in whe...

SkyeFyre

Mr.Matthews (I like the sound of that) appears very on edge. Looking around quickly, frequently checking behind him. He reaches back into his jacket pocket and pulls out a small pocket flashlight and surveys the area around him. "I say we split up" he tries to joke to comfort himself in re...

I might allow it if the character was a psychic with the ability "Astral Projection". My ruling would be they could leave with their astral body and enter the new body.

I absolutely must recommend Madhaven. The entire book has a flavor all of it's own and stands as one of the most unique world books out there. It has great challenges for all grades of players/characters. Currently my group has a Psi-ghost, a Maxi-Killer, a Wilderness Scout, and a Rogue Scholar and ...

Turn the appropriate attribute into a percentage where each point is 5%. Take the base skill percentage and divide by 2. The character then can try the skill at the percentage of the half base skill. Round down. Example: Chacacter with an IQ of 12 tries to perform a skill that normally is 35%. He wo...

Standard humans get 3D6 to all 8 attributes. In the main book when it states to roll 3D6 for stats it's assuming that your character is human.

SkyeFyre

To answer how it was changed in my game: The Mechanoids managed to get more of their forces on Rifts Earth and not only hit the bugs at the convenient moment to keep them off the CS and they also hit Tolkeen directly. My change was primarily to explain beyond all doubt how Tolkeen lost.

Well said Beatmeclever. To add to this: How many RPG tips, supplements, adventure ideas...etc have you seen where it covers stuff like "What do do if your players have done something you didn't expect? How do you continue the story?" or "The players went and killed so and so, I need t...

Wow, I never thought I'd read something like this. Whenever I put my entire party up against a mind melter everyone cringes.

Maybe I'm just too easy to please but there really isn't anything that really stands out as wrong with me.

I would buy it directly from PB however up here in Canada (eh) for one book it costs at least $20 just in shipping. So my $16 book ends up costing me closer to $40 after the exchange and such.
