Preacher Man from the New West, the non-Fire and Brimstone kind, is a possibility. Merc soldier who was a juicer but underwent detox after 4 or 5 years (tons of penalties to stats and skill use) or if you are not limited to Rifts settings occ's you could go with say the Fletcher O.C.C in PF's . . . ...

Just thought I'd chime in with an idea. Instead of using the Cyber-Knights as a base to do this I would start with a Psi-Stalker as base and then incorporate Cyber-Knight flavour into them, give them Psi-Swords like the Cyber-Knights, etc. I'd do it this way because the Psi-Stalkers have a bunch of ...

under mechanical or technical skills you could add Steam Engine Mechanics: The knowledge of the workings and maintenance of steam engines and the dangers they present to the operator. Base Skill: 30% +5% per level Steam Engineering: Understanding the principles and theories of steam engines. Requir...

There would be some similarities to a steam-mechanic and a blacksmith, though the mechanic would need a lot more science-type skills, unless it was just a maintenance guy. I'll try my best to flesh out those skills but I'm not a huge steam-punk person so if anyone else wants to give it a go feel fre...

Well, you could probably just slightly alter any of the marine ship OCC's to fit. A couple things that I think would be really important to a sky bound sailor would be, incredible rope works skill (maybe sitting at +25% or even+30) because if that rope fails while you are out on the side or whatever...

The Question
Dr. Fate
Sandman (yes a villain, but it was a cool power)
Magneto (again, a villain but sweet powers)
Green/Yellow/every other colour nowadays Lantern
Lobo
The Spectre
Silver Surfer

Can I not just say ALL OF THEM?

The only thing that comes to my mind is the Sun Dog, but that is not really fire but light based and also has a higher level of intelligence. Greetings and Salutations. It may not be what I'm looking for, but which book? Hmm ... unless you mean the Sun Devil (which I found while I flipped t...

novatomato

possibly a Sun Devil could do, its a faerie-like elemental creature with elemental aspects of fire.
You have certainly piqued my curiousity in this and I can't stop pouring over my books to find something.

okay, Danzi being may absolute favourite Palladium Megaversal creation ever I think I'll put my foot into this ring. Danzi can be quite powerful it is true, they have a lot of advantages over other races: Natural AR, superior S.D.C, slightly above average Hit Points. They also have some instinctive ...

I operate under the thoughts that if it does not specifically mention the being as being Supernatural or a Creature of Magic in its description then it isn't. It's not a perfect system and there are mistakes and things left out on entries but its the best way I find.

Truth be told I can't think of any additional sections that would benefit the booklet, perhaps an open/blank sheet to keep track of current bonuses/penalties or other long term but not permanent effects in place? What do you think the Miscellaneous Notes/Background Info page is for? Well now, don't...

Borrow Powers and Negate Powers is a pretty nifty combo when facing characters with super powers. Unless I misconstrued some of the wordings on those entries. In a similar fashion, a great combo for a villainous leader to have is Grant Powers and Borrow Powers, as he can borrow any power then grant ...

fundamentally I think it is a great booklet, it covers everything (well with the exception of the kitchen sink) but I think the booklet could be a few pages shorter as there is a lot of repetition of certain pages. I understand why the repetition is there, but perhaps just a bit too much of it. Doin...

I like to take songs from the Pogues and the Dubliners and change the names of people and places to fit the setting. Tends to get some good reactions, especially if I happen to have the albumwith the song on hand.

novatomato

anytime,
helpful little tip though is that if you are looking for anything in the rifters there is a database in the Rifter section of the forums. It's worth checking out.

Take a look at Rifter #27

*ahem, speaking as someone not in the campaign* We have a list of price increases for superior weapons, inferior weapons would have a similar drop in price. For example: a Dwarven Longsword (+1 strike and parry) costs initially 55 gp but the improvement in quality jacks that price up by 800% to 440 ...

novatomato

it is an interesting concept but I must say I don't particularly agree with your reasonings behind it. I picture the Sams as doing patrols in places like the Burbs, and not inside the actual CS cities (the people allowed inside the cities would be screened before entry to 'keep out the rifraf.) When...

The Broken Soldiers, a mercenary group made up of former soldiers who have been maimed in duty and found that they know no other way of life. This is one of my favourites I have created, they are all experienced (level 1d4+3), and they have to work together in groups to compensate for the injuries t...

definitely count me down as interested.

Not quite in my mind. Quillbacks take second place to Danzi, but not by much.

I still want to see an Infiltrator/Saboteur/Spy subclass.

novatomato

It looks like you're trying to merge Assassin and Longbowman, I would think it would be best to separate those into two individual sub-classes. The one you have currently looks more of an infiltration and sabotage specialist, while the 'sniper' idea you have should be drawn up again entirely as a Sh...

I'd mostly set the alchemical siege weapons to be for psychological warfare. Stones that release a fog of fear or some such to cause incalculable panic behind the walls. Perfect for launching just before the besieging army makes an attempt to break over the walls. Alternatively one could have a ston...

had a group consist entirely of Emerin once, each of the players come to that character on their own as well. Very interesting game that was.

I think Nekira has got it bang on.

personally I see the megaverse as a complex pattern weaved in a blanket like shape. Each strand is a dimension and each dimension is physically touching a few that are of the same, nearly similar, design (call these ones parallels) and each would also touch a large, nearly incalculable, number in on...

I would like to put forward a few thoughts on this matter. 1) an apprenticeship would really only be an apt description for a few magic O.C.C.s. These being namely the Wizard, the Summoner and the Diabolist as these ones are really the only ones that require someone learning via books/pictures/instr...

Heya snape, I've been thinking about this (I am after all a player in this game and I think I started this disarm thing) and thought that, well yes they can dodge to avoid it and that is really the only option but, and here is where I go off the tracks, consider the nature of the dodge, if I want to...

This is a tough one and I'm torn between CWC, Free Quebec, FoM and Psyscape.

I voted other and my thoughts were for a sort of "Non-Powered Sourcebook." I have some ideas on how that might be accomplished and what would go into it. Essentially what I want to see is a book that will get the 'lesser classes' something that can make them distinct from every other of th...

I've got quite a few that I've written up. A number of them are in with my Rifter Submissions that I'm working on so I won't post those ones but if I can find my stack of stuff I'll put the good ones on the board. some of these include; Anurian R.C.C: in essence semi-magical Frog Men, complete with ...

Well, I'd like to see some more inner city civilian vehicles;
a Hot hatch; cheap but lots of fun
Scooters; cheap, fun economical for inner city travel
Van; a good family vehicle
Buses: Public Transit.

You know, I wouldn't really be that worried about the naruni ship. I would be paranoid about the mysterious thing that was able to send the ship crashing down to earth. Even if it only did minor damage the fact is this ship has been driven off, shot down or chased by something that it couldn;t deal ...

Well, I'm pretty close to Lazlo so I would probably head there. Assuming of course that I don't go bonkers from being suddenly and violently deposited in a completely altered world where everything I'm likely to encounter first would try to eat, kill, capture, or torture me. Would I join up with a g...

Well, considering Bearmen and Kankoran get along very well (at least very well for a bearman) and the Kankoran are frequently Long Bowmen I see no problem with Bearmen being able to adopt the practices of the little fellows.

I'd say top limit would be about 5 thousand strong. But that would be an army raised by a Duke or an Earl. As a mercenary organization I wouldn't go any higher than about a thousand for a mercenary company.

Parkour is defined as the Art of Movement and was created by the French military as a method of moving overland quickly. It is characterized by making the most efficent use of momentum, kinetic energy, and movement to move from point A to B, and often takes the most direct route to the destination,...

well, Parkour isn't really a martial art type thing. Its more like outdoor gymnastics, so I'd set it up in such a way: Parkour: Learning to do jumps, falls, rolls and other feats of agility outdoors in an urban environment. This sport builds body strength, agility and great endurance as well as grac...

I believe there is mention of her in Federation of Magic, and/or the Cyberknights book.
Essentially she was captured by the FoM and was rescued by Lord Coak. During that time she developed anti Coalition sentiments.
Aside from that I don't know much else.

How about something like, for reknown. Underworld connections the Hero, or his Alter-Ego have contacts in the criminal underworld who will provide the character with the information they request. The criminals know that to backstab, follow, blackmail or otherwise hamper the Hero is entirely useless ...

they were all good.

Except for Skeletor, I really don't like his take on Skeletor.

novatomato

If you're worried about him being unable to compete in the fights then I would consider letting him take a martial art from ninjas and superspies. There are a couple good ones in Rifter #7.
