Rifts World Book 25

Unread post by grimmhold »

Hey all, I was recently reading wb 25, which at the time was not a favorite of mine. But I am starting to re think my feelings regarding this book. However, I still have a couple issues with the book. Such as how terrible is gui long, and ba gua kung fu. I mean, gui long is easly replaced with a just about any psychic r.c.c., and ba gua can easily be avoided, countered. Other than that I found the book to be much better than when I first read it a few years back. Anyone else feel gui long, and/or ba gua are pretty terrible, or is it just me?

I dislike the RC2 book for several reasons concerning the MA h2h. But the Ba Gua KF (Yep you capitalize names) is the most munchkin/stupid thing an almost any of the Rifts books.

Gui Long KF is not bad….it was translated from another book. But No, it does not equal a PCC (no racial in it).
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
Reading and writing (literacy) is how people on BBS interact.

Can you be more specific regarding Ba Gua beig munchkin. Sure it's very powerful, IF, you can get your enemy to step into your BG map, but if they don't, and range attack with conventional weapons, there isn't much a BG practioner can do against it. I mean all you have to do is get him to step off, even a toe, and it begins unraveling. long range explosives should easily counter a BG map.
