The Wolfen Quatoria in a Phaseworld setting, the Mantis 'borg from Russia is very cool, but the 'borg I would play in a NA setting right now would be a Mining 'Borg, just to have a different feel. Plus the employment possibilities(there might not always be work for a merc, but miners, construction ...

Greetings! A Shared Earth: Imagine an Earth that spawned TWO sentient races; Humans and the Grahl! The Grahl are a humaniod Hyena from the African Plains!

Yes. Again, it is just a single-seat fighter.

It zips in as fast as it can, and blasts the targets in front of it.

Better options are for bigger craft.

Did you not notice the Rail Gun?

500 Kilometer Range

GaredBattlespike

I know. As a designer, I did that on purpose. I was concerned about Munchkin-Issues. Also, it's on a fast fighter, which will be deployed in groups. When eight of them streak in at 2 Machs faster than most fighters, and a +6 Dodge bonus...Well it's a bad day to be a defender.

Fire dragons get no love?
Well, if the party has a Burster....Imagine the effects of a Burster enhancing the Fire Breath!

Also, the others are correct about the Super Psionics, the Royal Frilled is king among Dragon Psionics.

Not a new Race, but an addendum to my Grahl: Tattoo Magic Those Grahl who had made it to Center discovered the existence of Magic Tattoos, unfortunately for them. A volunteer got set up, and was given a Basic Weapon Tattoo: Sword. Nothing fancy. Nothing survivable either. The tattoo was made by firs...

Greetings! Actually I DON'T want to sell it. I am charging a REALLY high price to discourage some who-ha from using daddy's cash (or whatever) to buy access to the Power I had to risk myself to gain and IF I do sell, It will cost enough money that I can afford to take the time to try some REALLY adv...

Greetings! I do not often play Mages of any sort-I usually play Mind Melters or Headhunters...When I DO play a Man of Magic, we use the Nightbane WB 3 Spell Research Rules.

Greetings! I am referencing the Rules as put forth in Nightbane's Through the Glass Darkly (NB:WB 3). These rules are actually fairly good.

I cannot seem to find any mention of how much Damage a being would take if electrocuted by, say a standard Power Line or an Electric Fence, or even a Wall Outlet. Any ideas? Please help.

One of my players is running a regular psychic and is having power issues....the books gives him 1D4X10 ISP plus 10 per level, I think he caps out around 70.

Greetings! What class restrictions did you have in mind?

Is there an Attribute or other prerequisite that you think a Team Epsilon Trooper should need to...

GaredBattlespike

Greetings! I was wondering if the HTH: Commando from Rifts would be appropriate for the Special Forces/Team Epsilon Trooper OCC? The HTH in question did not seem to exist until after this OCC came out. What do you think? Allow the Commando HTH for this world's Special Forces OCC, or not? Please vote...

Greetings! 1) A Combat Map is simply a small scale (often hand drawn) map used to mark the positions of the important terrain features, and all combatants.

Actually, there are rule for home-made armors in the Bionics Sourcebook, near the end.
It's with the Bionic Armor decriptions there.

Greetings! I was just looking at the old "Magic Eye Wallpaper/Images" online and realized that it's hard to get for some people, as it is a mental perspective thing, rather than simply seeing... Given that hounds have an average I.Q. Stat of 5, and while the Hound Master's I.Q. Stat is an ...
