-Anybody who wanted to could always pick up and use two guns at once, there just weren't any official penalties for doing so, other than an assumption that it would count as firing Wild. While that's completely logical, I have to disagree with that based on how paired firearms is worded in New West...

Mudang

WP Paired applies only to ancient style weapons. That's how it used to be. RUE changed that. Misconception. RUE adds the penalties for using two firearms under the WP Paired Weapons, but it clearly states that the skill does not apply to firearms. Why they added the firearms penalty is anyone's gue...

Just curious. It's one of the classes people seem to complain about the most, as far as I can tell, but really doesn't seem THAT strong to me. Personally, I don't get it. Sure, they can dual-weild hand-guns, but that's usually what, 3d6-4d6 apiece? So somewhere between 1d4x10 and 1d6x10 per melee a...

Perhaps he means Robotech?

I don't see why not, unless they are unable to have magic and psionics. If that is the case, then no. There are excetptions to this rule (the Dewtani) In D-Bee's they are listed as "None" I believe for magic and psi. Yet they can choose any men of arms OCC, and at least a few magic users ...

Mudang

CWC says that the Quick-Flex can select "any Men of Arms, scholar or adventurer O.C.Cs."

But that really makes no sense and is worthy of being ignored. Mystic Knights are men of magic, but mystic ninjas are men of arms? please...

Mudang

I don't believe so.

Mudang

I much prefer Steven Trustrum's werecreatures from Rifter #4 (and 5) to the werecreatures of Palladium canon. They're much more flexible.

I seem to remember seeing that somewhere...maybe in Conversion 1

Ye gods. no. Roughnecks have to cover every combat position from run-of-the-mill bullet catcher/Marine to medic to heavy weapons to recon/sniper bait. They need all the help they can get. That's exactly why they DON'T need Host Armor, based on their OCC They're meant to be the Cannon Fodder ground ...

I know there needs to be combustibles nearby for nukes to cause fire, but I'm saying since fire sponge gets damage variable with the power of the fire, and I figured nuclear fire is MD and worse than "normal" MD fire (like from a flamethrower) so would the fire caused by the nuke when spo...

First one: Because Paired Weapons: Handguns wasn't around before RUE and only WP: Paired Weapons was around. Unless you mean WP: Sharpshooter with paired pistols option. Paired Weapons: Revolvers and Pistols was around before RUE. There is no "paired pistols option" for W.P. Sharpshooting...

Your Rifts one is way too small. Which is why I ask for help. Thanks for additions. I have only one question? Isn't a Phase Adept a psionic class, since all the phase powers use I.S.P.? If anyone can think of any other magic classes, especially PFRPG and Nightbane I would appreciate it. ah, your ri...

Juicing in Rifts is not the same thing as taking steroids in the real world. You're absolutely right. In the real world, regular use of anabolic steroids does not cause your heart to explode, regardless of your level of activity, in 5 years or less, and very rarely later. Juicing in Rifts does.

Juicing in Rifts is not the same thing as taking steroids in the real world. Until Palladium comes out and says that male juicers develop breasts and that female juicers have mustaches, I see no reason to believe that male juicers should suffer from another real world side effect of anabolic steroids.

I would say that male juicers could father children just fine, but that female juicers wouldn't ever be able to give birth to live children.

I like how his name inspires panic attacks in Killer Cyborg. As I've said before; I like a lot of the guy's stuff. It's just that he had no sense of proportion when it came to firepower. That, and he wrote a lot of crap. that can be said of every palladium writer who's published more than two books...

5) Mindcrime, just wondering, but why exactly are you saying he's illegal? The addition of the absorb life energy power makes it an illegal character.

The first thing I would do is point out that said character is illegal. The second thing I would point out is that said character is not a Palladium made NPC. At that point, said character simply ceases to exist.

exactly, but what's funny is the rules don't say do that. they don't say anything and your enterprising/salivating little munchkin players are telling you: I know what they really mean! Trust me !

I would do away with a lot of the material that has been written for Rifts Earth.

Say bye to the vast majority that has been written about South America, England, Africa, the American West, China, Japan and Canada. Several other areas would get trimmed down as well.

Am I the only one that thing there's way too many evil AI's to the point that reading about another one in newer books is kind of blah....

Seriously: palladiums basic concept has always been quick&dirty Roleplaying. The creators have and will most likely continue to stay away from customizable OCC's in favor of largely premade ones. Ironically, I can think of at least a few systems that are classless, or at the very least have ver...

Mudang

I'm going to agree with those who are saying that experience level and the conditions of the fight will make the results vary wildly. That being said, if the BM knows the invulnerability spell, his chances go way up. Unless the SF has psionic OCCs, sure. So psionics definately comes into play. ~Sem...

That sometimes bothers me too but I admit I am not a fan of R.C.C.s in general. Maybe there is too much D&D in my blood but I have always been a fan of "pick a race, pick a class" concept. In some cases RCCs fit. They work quite well for creatures with low intelligence. When it comes ...

Cause if your playing a Battle Magus to be a melee fighter who can us emagic your missing the whole point of Magic in the Rifts game system. The uses for magic should be and are diverse.

I think they need a lot LESS other classes and instead need to just make skill selection far more open to a set of basic classes. The vast majority of OCC's available are just C&P paper filler as it stands. A lot of people say that... but I've always felt that part of what so cool about Rifts i...

I generally ignore the South America books, because they're 80% crap. But the author's intent is pretty clear; he wanted his munchy characters to be 5x as powerful as normal mind melters. In the main book, Super TK inflicts 1d4 MD per 1,000, so Carella had his Neo-Humans do 1d4 per 200 lbs, because...
