If you are able to include Martial Arts from Ninjas & Superspies, try to include the NSS version of Zanji Shinjinken-Ryu. Yeah, the whole sword thing is sort of irrelevant, but the art is designed to inflict damage with a weapon primarily. And It'll give you access to the Martial Art powers that...

Are there any examples in the books of a TW device that allows remote operation? I have a new Techno-Wizard in the group who is looking for a way to operate a TW device by remote. The device will have it's own PPE reservoir, but I'm looking for a means of triggering the device while not holding it. ...

I have never had a character ask if he could spend his starting cash on more spells. Most starting cash is under 20,000 which would be a spell of 4th level or less, which most spell casting classes that can buy spells can get access to either in generation, or soon thereafter. So I wouldn't have a p...

I don't believe there are any guidelines like that, but I haven't finished the book so I can't say for certain. Even if there were I still go by what the market will bear. And that'll almost always be campaign-driven anyway

Bio-manipulation is the primary reason that I use the Invulnerability spell. With +10 save vs psionics, I have a chance of saving until I can deal with/escape my attacker or he runs out of ISP. --flatline I admit this isn't canon, but I have a house rule regarding Bio-Manipulation where I add anoth...

Basically anything that specifically states AP gets the bump I'm starting a campaign on Saturday wherein also going to include rail guns as AP....

house of glass is a poor choice, as a general rule. it requires that you be damaged for it to work. that is not a good thing. and also that you be within 100 feet. did i mention that closing distance with a mage is a terrible, terrible idea, and that you shouldn't do it? if the mage is within range...

Getting back to the primary point that I was making, the fully-automatic rotary shotgun loaded with APRJ rounds, however you want to write it up, would be leave little but devastation in it's wake. Impervious to Energy and Invulnerability would be pretty much pointless against it. This was original...

Of course, the ALL-TIME CHAMPION of ludicrous numbers HAS to go to the Death-Knight Assault Robot's Particle Beam Cannon! Anyone remember this thing from Mercenaries? It does 1D6x10(wait for it) +10MD! Wild I say! And what is the premium it pays for that 10 points over what the NG-P7 Particle Beam ...

Just a pulse feature for the laser would be pretty nice. a pulse feature on the laser, and maybe an increased critical chance on the railgun. that would go a long way to making it live up to its reputation. In my next campaign I'm thinking of ruling rail guns as Armor-Piercing. That would be your i...

I think the American M3A1 'greasegun' was about as cheap as you could get an SMG to be and still reliably work, though the early Stens were truly shoddy stuff, meant to use non-strategic materials and as many metal pressings and rollings, rather than machining, as possible. Some of the early Italia...

In my opinion, I play mages as people who prefer to use magic over technology, but only if a magic solution is comparable to a technological solution. So, I might have a LLW that will eschew heavier body armor or EBA in favor of the Invincible Armor spell, but only if this is something he can readil...

From an operational standpoint, the problem i have with the JA rifles is they're big. When i'm fighting a bunch of pukes armed with NG's in a building, door-to-door, the last thing i want is rifle barrel pointing three feet ahead, giving me away. If you switch to a sidearm, you still have it on you...

I think what he's going for is a being of pure good, but twisted. Something that believes that it can make the Megaverse a better place, and will proceed to do it.

Personal favorite is the reloader hover vehicle from free Quebec. It's hover, which has its own benefits. It's sturdy, can pack the gear that you would need for repairs and comes with its own eclip charger. Cannot be beat

The rule that you can't dodge more than 4 missiles in a volley is an arcane one that dates back to Robotech, like many of their other high tech combat rules. Back the it made more sense. There were no mini missiles yet and SRMs and higher were all guided. As it stands, it doesn't bother me, the rule...

I'm meeting up with a new GM tomorrow as he wants to look over my new PC for his campaign.

What are your suggestions?...

What is transformation? In my opinion, transformation is the total change from one life-form into another. A human into a vampire. A human into stone. A human into a frog. A human into mist.

I've modified the spell Carpet of Adheision to include a physical manifestation, so you can see the affected area, and as such give people that are standing on it when it forms a chance to dodge off of it. It's gone a long way to stop the CoA spem, but it's still a spell with a lot of use.

Have to disagree about the Slugorth and a lack of Deific powers. The word 'Deific' comes from being deified, or treated as a Deity by your worshipers. if enough people consider you a god, then you get the powers of one.
