Jeridu already many of the Juicer abilities,including auto-dodge as racial abilities.Better idea: Jeridu Battle Magus.

Captain Shiva

There was a Rifter article that had expanded options for mega-heroes,including the ability to sort of multi-class. A Natural Genius combined with say, Special Training, for instance,would make a formidable adversary.

Do we have the basic dimensions of a TX-5/TX-16/CS-5 explosive cartridge listed anywhere? I was considering a custom built automatic pistol chambered for these explosive cartridges and was wondering just what sort of bullets it could fire. .500 S&W? .50 Beowulf? I would say it is about the same...

Try reading books about Nazis and serial killers. That should provide plenty of real world examples of evil of the worst kind.

If I ever use use Dead Reign zombies in Rifts, I will change some of their vulnerabilities. They will still be affected by SDC weapons,and only destroying the brain or fire will get rid of them for good.Everything else,they will eventually regenerate.High tech MDC energy weapons will not effect them...

There are a few RCCs which specifically state that they can't use Magic. Malvoren is one of such non-magic using RCCs. Now my question is what happens if a Malvoren becomes a Soul Harvester? It seems to me that because the Soul Harvester is drawing his magic from Nxlya himself and the souls of his ...

This could even be used as an origin for acquiring super powers.

In your opinion... Would proficiency with a shotgun fit under one of the current W.P.'s or would it require a separate one? Would proficiency with an assault (automatic) rifle fit under one of the current W.P.'s or would it require a separate one? For the Espionage Program (Basic) skill package, wo...

I helped a friend of mine create a Dog Boy Slayer(from Mystic Russia.)

Captain Shiva

Perhaps if you gave a Christian minister powers similar to a mystic, with a limited spell access. Whether the powers actually came from a divine source,the minister would believe it to be the case.

Captain Shiva

What new spells would you like to see added to Rifts,and why? I would like to borrow an idea from another game system,and introduce contingency spells,that store another previously cast spell,and that take effect automatically under certain conditions,determined at the time of casting, like for inst...

Under RUE rules, I believe an Operator has access to Telemechanic Paralysis,which would make it easier to win battles without massive equipment damage. Go for it...just try not to get scrapped off while you're trying to shut down a HellRaiser... True enough.My suggestion would be a small,fast movin...

Captain Shiva

Something everyone should remember: under RUE rules, all FCBs have robotic PS, so several of those borgs from old sourcebooks become more powerful under those rules.

How about Project : Gladiator ? After the original super soldier? Gladiators were not soldiers. For the Roman feel, go with Project Legionnaire/Legion or Centurion. -STS IIRC, there was a book called "Gladiator" about a superpowered hero, which predated Superman. Though as a disclaimer, I...

the only other player we ever kicked out was a player in our new MERP campaign who actually cheated all the time. we couldnt believe it. he brought a pre-generated character with stats maxed out and all the magical stuff - as we are not used to cheating and think that cheating is actually against b...

thank you for the inspiration of my next rifts character A pistol-packing vampire-hunting technowizard Vanguard gun-nut? No. I couldn't come up with a character concept I liked. A tw who pretty much sticks to guns and bullet TW devices. Too bad they can't get Sharpshooting, but I'll make due. Isn't...

Captain Shiva

Kitsune has a spell on his site called Spell Crystal, I believe, that could be used to create TW shotgun shell, pump rifle rounds, grenades, missiles, etc.

Take a can of engine starting fluid, wrap a rag soaked in diesel fuel around, light and throw.Quickly.

Examples? ~ Josh Anything with "Enviormental" abilities, such as armors , vehicles, robots ... anything that basically has a different enviorment then that of the natural enviorment outside of what it is the PC is in . Understand? This is sorta hard to explain, Battle Armors (Enviormental...

i think the story about the witch and her rat friend is "the dreams in the witch house" and the other might be the classic "the dunwich horror". But i could be wrong. But they are all excellent reads and cool gaming inspiration. Give this man a see-gar. The Dunwich Horror was al...

Let's see... In addition the psi-powers found in Rifts, Heroes Unlimited, and Beyond the Supernatural... Telepathic Illusion. The ability to project the image of a creature, object, or scenery directly into the mind of a person. Can be used to frighten, confuse, and disorient, as well as to subtly ...

Captain Shiva

A Super Psychic version of the Mind Blast spell. If mind bolt were worth using you wouldn't need to. I would want a non super psionic that grants MDC protection, and one that lets you damage mdc creatures. that way psionics could actually survive, instead of just piddle around. These people were su...

Captain Shiva

I have several suggestions: 1) Teleport Object from HU2. 2) Supercharge,from Nightbane,especially if it makes you temporarily an MDC being. 3) The psychic powers from Rifter #25. 4) Some of the powers from Brett Hegr's site,especially Kinesis Bolts,and his vastly improved version of Mind Bolt. 5) A ...

Captain Shiva

oh psh, that's a whimpy penalty for that spell... Yeah, it's more like -- let the opponent attack, dodge it easily then splatter him all over the place with WP Paired Weapons: Vibro-sabre + Neural Mace I have a Ley Line Rifter NPC with a PP of 24, which doubles to 48 under the spell and provides hi...

Captain Shiva

If the zombies are climbing the fire escape, the most logical thing to do is disable the fire escape somehow. If someone has a way to loosen the bolts holding it on, or an actelyne torch to cut it loose, then you could keep the zombies off the roof, or at least down to manageble numbers.Maybe then b...

"Call of Cthulhu" would actually make a pretty good BTS plot, if you leave out the part with the Johansen Narrative.

Captain Shiva

oh, as i don't have merc adventures, i didn't know there were any penalties. that's a bit better then and I'd probably allow someone w/ sonic speed use fleet feet but increase the penalties accordingly (now that I know there were initial ones) Fleet Feet is actually found in PFRPG, not Mercenary Ad...

I admit,it can be a little difficult to find anyone to game with at all in my area, annoying or not.just out of curiousity,has anyone ever actually encountered a player who believed that the spells in an RPG were real, and they could use them to gain earthly power,like the fundamentalists would hav...

Captain Shiva

Well, if you're feeling really mean,the answer is a Murder-Wraith. If you want the party to maybe survive, a Delphi Juicer is a good option.A Juicer who is also a Mind Melter is a formidable foe.

Captain Shiva

Sorry guys, but neither of those explanation is adequate to me. Since Battle Magi are warrior mages,they should be able to replenish their PPE with the PPE of their slain enemies.And I have never thought of them as "broken." If MDC beings were allowed to play them, you might have a point.

Captain Shiva

I have no actual characters made up like many of you seem to but, 1) A Jeridu Battle Magus with Major psionics. 2) A freeborn Battle Cat(Leopard) Battle Magus. 3) An Achilles Neo-Human. 4) A Rahu-Man Head-Hunter,the Robot Slammer variant. 5)A Malvoren, wearing a Flying Titan. 6) A Psi-Ghost, who be...

It recently came to my attention that Battle Magi can not draw PPE from other individuals. Are they the only mage class who cannot do this,and can anyone think of a good reason why?

I like the Extreme Lift idea.

Anything listed under the category of Natural Abilities stays with the character. regardless of OCC chosen. If you chose an OCC, most if not all, RCC skills are lost.

The Murder Mage. There is no redemption possible for this. It's just a big cheeseball class to gain XP, and if you get to 3rd level as a murder mage, you can multiclass into just about anything, retain your murder mage abilities, and break the game completely. Which book is this O.C.C. in ? I wanna...

Casting Fleet Feet on a Juicer would be bad enough, but casting it on someone with Sonic Speed? OY!!

No, Fleet Feet is the one you have to watch out for.

Most of the other CS states would form an alliance with Free Quebec, also bringing in Northern Gun, to help maintain something of a status quo.

I would make a few house ruled exceptions to bonus stacking via spells.A good example would be the spell Superhuman Agility ,which,among other things, grants auto-dodge with a +5 bonus.The only other bonus I would allow to be added to this one is the dodge bonus granted by a high PP score.

The zombies in Dead Reign are much tougher,even if I do not agree with some of the MDC conversions. Another option would be make them hit point creatures like vampires, and give them Enhanced Strength.That would make them a little more formidable.
