Just for fun: Is it possible to split your mind and be in two places at once? Could a psychic martial artist with Two Minds Zenjoriki possess someone and still control their own body? Is there magic that can do anything like that? Or maybe a power or ability that would let the possessor control the...

To me telling a player what they should make (which is the same as telling them what the team needs) I actually meant me asking what the team needs. Unless it is established before hand that the characters are a team or were assembled for a given reason it is unlikely that 4 random people in a pub ...

I have always judged Elite power armor training as per individual suit, as even close models of cars can handle differently, have off-set controls, etc. But then again I always ruled also that spending some time training on a suit will get the character familiarity with that suit allowing for usage...

Some of those books required dice. "If you roll a 10 or higher go to page 34. If you roll a 9 or lower, go to page 112." Page 112 would be the one you were sent to when you died.

Khanibal

Yeah, MDC to zero. I think tearing damage is equivalent to punch damage. Also, with a large machine, leverage will be a problem. The Giant spell may be of use there.

Khanibal

I don't know about the current rule books, but the original Robotech books had rules for ripping damage. It shouldn't be too hard to extrapolate a set of rules from that.

One of those 2 mile long mag-lev rails that look like a giant ski-jump, best used with a scramjet. How about a laser launch, where the bottom of the craft is bell-shaped with extra material between the top of the bell, and the bottom of the cabin. The laser vaporizes that material and the vapor prop...

#1 sign where I will just walk out is the GM saying it is a dice-less. Holy cow.... I don't even know how that's possible. At least a coin flip would give better odds than the random whim of a GM! The Chronicles of Amber game, based on the books by Roger Zelazny, is dice-less. If your strength is h...

You ask about power level and what the group needs (I've played a LOT of clerics for lop-sided groups), and the GM says, "Don't worry about it. I can handle everything." Then you show up at the game and it your RPA, two cosmic-knights, and an titan juicer. No mage, no psi, no one who can p...

1) In Rifter #6 Hugh King suggest that NPCs shouldn't get gear or powers that the players can never get.
2) Palladium books' guiding principle is that NPCs get gear and powers the players can never get.

So, yes, your NPC-only class can break the rules of ANY spell.

With people flinging these things around wearing your body armor when in your tank is a must and probably a good thing many tankers wind up being at least partial borgs to better interface with their unit. This is why your group MUST include a mage of some kind, with Purification as a spell. Don't ...

As a general rule, I would say no BUT I would allow it to be anchored to a moveable point... so if you attached your energy field on a wagon, you could move the wagon, but the field itself would stay attached to the wagon. ...and if you know Anti-Gravity Flight you can really bowl your enemies over.

I could see efforts to combat HIV and Ebola turning into a super-human treatment. Similar to the Altess, except less planned.

Imagine a family building a bomb shelter in the 1950s. In the 1960s & 1970s they expand it in case of civil unrest.

My biggest issue with them "finding" and refitting these items is the fact they would likely not even be in civil defense armories by 2098......just like CS Navy having subs that would be over 120 years old when "stored" let alone adding almost 300 years to them when "found...

My whole issue is the belief that a modern Battle tank is not naturally possessed with hundreds of MDC and a powerful Mega Damage cannon. True, the initial example given is of a modern-day tank shrugging off a baseball, a .357 and a slew of assault rifles (REAL assault rifles, not CNN's misdirectio...

This is the sort of reason why I don't do alignments in any game I play, no matter the system. I just let people act as they act and there are no short cuts to find out who is good and who is evil, nor are there shortcuts to find out if your actions are good or evil, and especially I don't have to ...

Yes, it's in the book as a playable class, but they're not as "adventure ready" as some others.

Little bit miffed that the auxiliary plasma turrets on the Tunguska Super-Tank use lower-ranged/powered plasma cannons and not the heavier and more powerful SPC-90s off the SU-45 Earthquake.

Great for vampires, heck great for vampire intelligences. If your Malvoren buddy wears a custom harness or has extra cyber arms specifically designed to interface with the weapon, I wonder how many he can fire-link. Somewhere around game-breaking I believe.

You know, Columbia is plagued with random rifts due to all the ley lines and nexuses in the area. They also are somewhat accepting of human-looking d-bees and they're comfortable enough with magic to use the Anti-Monster TW borgs.

Well, GAW is supposed to be cheap. It's mechanically sound, but otherwise just barely superior to Chipwell.

That brings to mind another thought. Does anyone do regular preventative maintenance on their giant robots? Maybe expressed as a percentage of value per month.
