Maybe this has been addressed before, if so please give me a link. I have a scenario for you. A Warlock casts Phantom, then siphons the Phantom's PPE, then casts more Phantoms and the process continues. This would allow a 5th level Air Warlock to create an army of Phantoms to control. Not to mention...

Yes, 2 psi-swords doing 10d6 damage each is very nice. This is not a mistake. Yes, but using both swords to attack in melee combat is tantamount to committing suicide. The knight gives up all defensive actions when they dual wield in this fashion. In the world of rifts giving up defense is crazy. E...

Can anyone suggest a good water creature I can use as a tattoo for my undead slayer? Kind of like the one in the rifter, cosmic forge continuing saga, that the undead slayer used when fighting the vampires. If so, what book?

thanks

Thanks, I always think of these questions at work when I don't have my books handy!!!

Hi All, how do you use the auto-kick attack (acrobatics, gymnastics) when used by a character with supernatural strength, like an undead slayer for example? Does this mean a free attack each melee using punch damage? Sorry if this is an easy question, I don't have my book with me.

Haven't played Rifts in years. It's amazing how many people on these forums say that (including me). We should start a "Go out and play Rifts Day" or something. I haven't played in years either - life got in the way, but I still enjoy reading the books. I just started a play by post game ...

I think the 1st question was 'if they attack something that can only be hurt by magic, would they hurt that something?' They are magic, so yes. As per the monster tattoo descriptive text, their stats are maxed out. Thanks, I thought stats were maxed as well, I must have missed it in the write up. A...

I was wondering do the monsters created by tattooes do magical damage when the hit and how do you determine their stats? I know they get the maximum MDC amount, but I thought I read that their stats are maxed too. Am I wrong?

Thanks in advance!!!!

The Battle Magi can use two pistols at once and have sharpshooting which according to the Skill description of sharpshooting magic user can never have that skill. In this cases when it comes to paired weapons it is a point where reality contradicts the bases of the rule, Not only can people fire we...

So I'm not crazy...I didn't think it was outlawed, but I definitely wouldn't allow a called/aimed shot on two different targets!!
No difference between called or aimed other than a minus to hit on certain called shots and it take three actions on a called instead of two on an aimed shot.

Okay, but zen combat against tech requires training and learning abilities vs tech, which would include sensors and weapon systems that are pretty fungible in all types of tech. However, for supernatural you would have to have training vs the various types of monsters. I could see picking one or two...

Are you talking about the original Cyber-Knights, or the new ones? Because the original were pretty cool, but the new ones are crap. Not a fan of the zen techno combat fighting. Curious, why are several posters not a fan of the Zen Techno Combat Fighting? Just want to hear the arguments against it....

Headhunters are a long time favorite of mine. Just a well rounded ass kicker. BK Headhunters even more so. I also love the HHs!! Never liked the idea of the Juicers!! Especially the ones who won't even consider detox. My characters usually just consider them dangerous suicides who take to long too ...

When a character has the paired weapons skill (ie gunslinger or battle magus) can he use both pistol's simultaneously to make a called or aimed shot on a single target?

Sorry if this is an easy question i don't have my books handy!!

One character (Human LLW) got his head blown off by a sniper when I took my helm off to sleep for the night. The sniper was over a mile away! All the GM said was you should have picked a better camp site and you should have checked your Bike for bugs!! There was a half a million credit bounty on my ...

I had an 5th lvl Atlantean Battle Mage die from a bad intelligence skill check! He brought a small party into a maze of tunnels expecting to find a powerful secondary vampire who was sending wild vampires into local villages. Two hours into the tunnels and over 30 dead wilds later we, (including a 5...

The MK won’t be surprised because he starts with Sixth Sense. Would sixth sense even work, I thought its range was 90'? Therefore, I always played that it wasn't effective against snipers and as the CK moves faster than a bullet in atmosphere sixth sense wouldn't trigger, at least against the flyin...

I actually don't consider it to be trivializing. It creates a MODICUM of greater survivability. Trust me on this. I kill a lot of people. The average adventure does not pass without a PC death of some sort. Every so often, there's one where everyone survives, but that's usually luck or skill. If vi...

CYber-Knights are just killer now!!! I also love Battle Mages from FoM!!
The Borg creation rules are pretty cool too!

Thanks everyone! I think I'll use the Weapon damage plus punch damage (if MD) as it takes into account the different levels of strength!!! If a designer reads this post I'd still like to know why the change!!??

Sorry if this has been covered many times, but did the game designers really mean to make a human teenager with a 10 strength do the same damage with a Rune Sword (1d4x10 MD) as a godling with a supernatural strength of 40!?!? Can't wrap my head around it! Example old rules (GMG): Teenager hits with...
