As the game has progressed I'm kind of curious why/how Chinese or Japanese would be known, let alone common enough to be considered a major language for North America. Free Quebec citizens all speak French (and English), and you would think Iron Heart would be the same. French in my mind should rep...

I have not been to these forums for quite some time, but I am glad I spent some time here today. Glistam, your translation of game events into story are truly a breath of fresh air and wonderful reads! Thank you so much!

I have read the books I have about what happened to the gulf coast in rmb and ultimate but I haven't found anymore information anywhere else. I understand most is gone but I was wondering if maybe there is something is one of the rifters or something further discussing anything in the region from t...

i think the closest iv found is the spell in rifter 15 "Divert Portal" but that changes it to a random location. with shifter material in 3 or 4 different books i just wasnt sure if i missed something.

wonderdog

if there is a rift open can a shifter change where it leads to?

some things that have won me over with rifts over the years are the combination of magic, psionics, and tech in the same setting. this let my players go in wildly different directions with their tastes. also the wide range of power scale. gotta admit i wasn't a fan of this for a long time. my defini...

I am actually playing Rifts at the moment, not GMing it. I like very simple concepts, so I play Natalie Daaé, a Human Vagabond with minor psionic ability from Free Quebec ,who happens to love her nation, despite them not loving her for her psionic potential. Her main object of travelling is to actu...

Please share what you would consider to be an inherently fun and interesting, not necessarily powerful or complicated, combination of race and/or class. I'm toying with the idea of putting together a mutant lion/big game hunter. Not only does it sound like a fun character to play to me, I like the ...

As for KC's quotes, half of them aren't even wrong since giants are just mucked men. Depends on which ones you're talking about, I suppose. Some of the quotes about giants I list mention them as being specifically non-human. It kind of raises the question about how closely related something has to ...

When I read an "monster" is a cannibal, it does not even come into my mind it eats humans or people. That monster as a cannibal as I read it, just happens to eat its own kind from time to time. Cobras are Canniblistic. Using PB methods, i guess, Cobras eat Humans. Oh well. Would sapiavore...

i think im on to something here. necrophagy is indeed the eating of dead bodies. xenophagy is already a word, the prefix means foreign. as far as a general term to describe eating of sentient beings, im not sure! some help? here is a link to one of the sites i was reading about this stuff just so yo...

What if I said I rolled it three times???

Hi guys, Can someone explain to me the P.P.E limit of P.P.E. x 3? Can I still cast high level spells that require over 500 P.P.E. if I only have 100 P.P.E.

wonderdog

and it still doesn't change the fact that having the *potential* to live a long time has absolutely *nothing* to do with your ability to have another OCC *right now*. live through those years and earn the new OCC, maybe. but it's not like elves are born with 3 OCCs just because they live longer tha...

wonderdog

just saying, potential life span isn't enough of an argument to learn a new OCC. actual time spent living, sure. but then, i also wouldn't allow anyone to pick up a new OCC without taking at least a year, probably more (depending on the new OCC), out of their life to just sit down and learn the new...

wonderdog

I would say yes, the above comments are right on, the demigod is a race that can take an OCC, and if a human/elf/dwarf or any other race can have 2 occs, a demigod most certinly can as well. Looking at conversions2, in the god stats, most of them have multiple high level OCCS, and they are gods, bu...

pg 17 Pantheons The demi-god can pick any occ that fits his human/dbee background not to mention nearly every statistic of the R.C.C. says "as per chosen O.C.C." now on the subject of the op... multiple classes in rifts is generally not allowed. this is one of those cases, though, where i'...
