Not that this isn't interesting, because it is, but how is this related to Heroes Unlimited? It seems totally N&SS related. Cool idea, though. "Escuse me, Mister Prez-eye-dint! When's we gonna nuke China? Cuz that's whar the Kong Foo comes from!" Brian True N&SS has it's own forum...

Hmm, the US with Department of Martial Arts Affairs? Well, I think the US would respond pretty well, considering how hodgepodge and relatively open our culture can be. "We don't just have one or two martial arts, we have all of them." ~Instructor at the new U.S. Defense Institute of Marti...

hey all posted this in the N&SS board, but unless anyone objects, thought I'd get more responses here seeing how much it echoes "Civil War" Hey all, a while back I was thinking about Palladium's various settings and realized a common thread Dark Day in Nightbane, Chaos Earth for Rifts ...

Hey all, a while back I was thinking about Palladium's various settings and realized a common thread Dark Day in Nightbane, Chaos Earth for Rifts (or itself) the elf-dwarf war in Palladium, After the Bomb and Systems failure are obvious and so on But what about Ninja's and Super Spies? I was thinkin...

Ironicaly I tried to get Mom (big Lord of the Rings fan) into Palladiam Fantasy and she made a Wolfer psi-healer, to introduce her to the rules she's walking down a road and runs into a orc vagabond... well three or four rolls under 5 on her part a two nat twenties on my pat kind of killed her imgag...

Hery all, I know this is going to leave me open to a lot of "candyland" or "spongebob" jokes, but trying to be serious here I have a girlfriend with 3 kids, the oldest of which is 9 usually the three of us (me, gf and 9yr. old) play a game of heroscape on the weekends while her y...

Hey all, Remember when we first heard about the Elemental Fusionist pre-RUE? A number of folk dreaded "Elemental Fusionist" was goign to be a "PC" redeux of a warlock. And I assume we all were relieved to find that was not the case. But was that the way it was planned? I hadn't t...

Hey all! Great to finally have the internet back after almost 6 months I'm making a heroes unlimited character with 18 weapons kung fu, but a little fuzzy on how many attacks the character recieves first most of th N&SS martial arts start with 2 attacks per melee, kind of blinked at that, 2 atta...

bathawk

hey all, please hold your laughter (embarrased enough as it is) but is there any reason for none who has the mechanical/electrical engineer skills to take the basic electronics/mechanics skills? like wise for paramedic/first aid? I first though that if say, you have a 40% in engineering, and somehow...

well other than SDC how much else is needed when converting?

bathawk

killer, though can't get to that rifter now (everything is boxed for a move) does it "2nd edition" the occ's from that book

bathawk

hey just an update, after about two months I have gotten almost all the Palladium Fantasy books (just finishing up wolfen Empire and Western Empire then moving one to Old Ones) books I still haven't gotten Northern Hinterlands (should be getting it soon though) Land of the Damned One Monsters & ...

bathawk

not to be a buzzkill but I think the conversation is moot, yes a natural supervolcano would kill much of the fun of a postapocalyptic game btu the yellowstone supervolcanoe is hardly natural is it?, if a ley line "bucked" under the volcanoe causing an eruption, who knows? maybe the ley lin...

bathawk

thanks for the reply, define "a bunch" though?

bathawk

hey just curious, because it will eb probably one of the last books I get, but what Occ's Rcc's are in northern Hinterlands? I've heard of a fletcher and....a lumberjack?

bathawk

so for the record....

ophids grassland's
phi
Lopan
sea of Scarlet Waters
Old Kingdom

is the Dragon's Gate been covered anywhere?
Also think Bizantium can be expanded on

bathawk

ok didn't see anything in the last press release, what's "Mysteries of Magic"?

bathawk

hey all Rifts player here my Palladium core book should be arriving iin the mail from ebay during the next week, but was curious about the discussion "Summoners" any real difference from a Rifts Shifter? and Diabolist...sounds evil (diabolic) but the comment above "dead without one&qu...

bathawk

lol well while I appreciate it if I had time to read full-fledged movels probabably wouldn't be reading RPG books for entertainment As ar as playing I would ahve to convince the guys I sometimes play with that Palladium fantasy is like "D&D...with Rifts rules!" so really I'm reading th...

bathawk

hmm not seeing Eastern Territory r Mount Nimro beig listed, should I take that as a sign?

also suprised Monsters' and Animals has races? thought it was just a "beastiary book"

bathawk

well by "best" and "worst" I mean the most enjoyable to read, original concepts and the like

though thanks for the high level of input!

bathawk

hey all, after all the Heroes Unlimited books and Rifts supplementts I've gotten I'm trying my hand at palladium fantasy. But was hoping ou all could tell me where to start? what are the best books? which are the worst?

bathawk

Hey all quick question for the cyclops..how long does it take to make a lightning spear/arrow? especialy if it's a PC you can just imagine some munchkin out there cranking a half dozen arrows a day and making a mint overnight unless it takes a week or more? what exactly would a cyclops do? in the Ba...

bathawk

*chuckle* thats whay I write just for kicks, once I have a something that I think is actualy worth not throwing up over maybe THAN I'll send it to the big "K"

if he hates it, ehh at least I had fun writing

bathawk

rolled "human like can pass easily for human and twilight world

bathawk

besides Kelvin and Glaciator; Gramercy Island also had

Coppertop (APS: electricity and APS: metal)

and

Mire (APS: earth and APS: water)

bathawk

when rolling an Alien: Hardware character, what skills do you take? to you get the hardware skills? the Alien skills, or both?

bathawk

Hardware UNlimited has essentialy been canned or put on sem-permanent hiatus

like Rifts Scotland and Phase World: UNited Worlds of Warlock and aspiring autor pitched an idea the big K loved, solicited, but the writer despite some good ideas, couldn't deliver

bathawk

ok just to prove I'm not a complete moron, I know that physical skill bonuses do not apply to beings with supernatural strength and resistance to injury (MDC)

but what about attributes that are not considered supernatural? bonus to PE, PP, or Spd?

bathawk

ahhh things are getting too Maudlin I think it's just a case of Great Minds Think Alike (GMTA) one one hand I hope there's still plenty of room to grow a PU4 somewhere down the road on the other hand it is kinda cool that the spectrum is being narrowed to the point you are almost guaranteed the abil...

bathawk

well the cyber-knight in my group is annoyed his psi-sword does only 1d6 at first level, he carries a 2d6 vibrosword as his "primary" melee weapon (and a juicer sniper rifle for range) but consider this: with the zero ISP on the psi-sword when a cyber-knight hits third level and can create...

bathawk

oh theres also the flame of life spell of the Larhold Shaman form South America 2 really cheap for it's effect (low percentage rolls and scaring)

bathawk

Hey all while I am more interested in the "new" D-bee's in this book I'm a bit perplexed by the 70 (100 minus 30-ish "new") that will be in the book heck, look there have been 15 books in North America right? Vampire Kingdoms Juicer Uprising Coalition War Machine Psyscape Lone St...

bathawk

pnuma-biforms stay as whales/dolphins most of the time but can turn into human form for a limited ammount of time

bathawk

hey Preacher did you preorder it?

bathawk

thanks again Nekira! didn't know/forgot about the restortion aspect of the ley line version

but extra PPE not that hard to come by? you mean the extra 10PPE you get from being on the line? dosen't seem to make a big dent in the 1000/2000 cost, or am I forgetting something again?

bathawk

Sentinels?

ahh must be a Robotech character

bathawk

fantastic! thanks alot Nekira, that's been bugging me for a bit, know what book thats in if I forget? what if the roll is somethign weird like en elfs 3d6 +1 for IQ? and I thought if you rolled a 6 on your bonus die roll, you only rolled again with HU charcaters (at least in RUE it dosne't say anyth...

bathawk

Parxian?

bathawk

the demigod cyber kinght has only one flaw in tat they're regeneration would prevent usage of the cyber armor, but then again I think there was a female native american cybernight in Arzno (part of the group of knights helping the vamps) that didn't have all the cyberknight abilities either did have...

bathawk

my group just had a character die near Tolkeen (we're going to play "Coalition Wars" from the start) and the group is going to try to have the poor guy raised now since I can think of no reason anyone would choose ley line resurrection over "resurrection" we're assuming finding s...

bathawk

another wrinkle here, do only humans get a bonus roll for rolling a 16-18 for on thier attrivutes?

right now my "house rule" is if the creatures attribute is rolled on a 3d6 and is a mortal supernatural creature he/she/it still gets the bonus if the initial roll is 16-18

bathawk

waitaminute

14th level spell resurrection:650 PPE

spell of legend: ley ley resurrection 2000 PPE (half for shifters and necromancers)

huh????

bathawk

oh there's also the whale singer spell "song of life"

and think the air warlock spell is called "breath of life"

and I think a native american healing shamn can bring back the dead at a sweat lodge

bathawk

really trying not to be flip, but other factors are there? In the case of Dragons I thought it was because they have such a wide berth of abilities that it takes so much of thier time to learn to develop those wide abilities that they just plain don't have the time in the short term to learn an OCC ...

bathawk

yeah this all has me scrating my head too the only thing that really needed "fixed" was what races/RC's can/can't chose an OCC Normally it was pretty easy, most books over the last few years said which RCC's could pick from what OCC's, and usually the only ones that couldn't were the ones ...

bathawk

does it violate forum rules to just get a "list" of the new powers?

bathawk

what about non-power stuff?

new tables? any new rules? heck I even recall bthere being a new paower category or two when the book was first announced

bathawk

As refreshing as this news is, I hope this dosen't men United Worlds of Warlock has been canned

bathawk

actualy thinking of a neuron beast or a magot the magot mas the MDC to last though many attacks, his eye beams won't affect the nightbane though. though not sure about the Magots attacks, 6d6 with a punch, 2d6 x10 with a bite? why would he ever *not* bite? the neuron beast is weaker MDC wise, btu it...
