This honestly goes to every single RPG ever made. But here, I have had this in my mind for a very, very long time but only now came here to make this topic. This discussion topic goes for both GM's and Players. For GM's Do you allow a player to have more than one character? If you do, what sort of r...

I see no one's bothered to read page 47 of HU2 . The last paragraph clearly states that the best proficiency of a duplicated skill is taken. Best scaling or best base skill? Best from both, a combination of the best base and best scaling? It's not exactly "clearly stating" it, it doesn't ...

I'm sure this happens all the time, at least it has happened numerous times with my players. Basically, this is an issue I run into almost every single time a new character is made because so many scholastic skills give the same skills. It's kind of shame but it's something that has never been made ...

I think the money numbers to be too low. To truly be worth a super power you need many hundreds of millions to billions of dollars. Think Gates, Buffet, Koch, Rockefeller level of wealth, starting with less than 250 million dollars isn't super power level. Look at the cost of the equipment in the g...

I've made up this power category. I'd like to ask for feedback, comments, suggestions, and such to it. Sorry for lack of pics, I'm not much of artist. You're free to help expand or use or share this idea, as long as I get the credits for the concept. [*]This is revised edition since the old topic th...

Assuming that the Side kicks 'boss' is there. In comics all the time there are stories with the sidekick alone. Personally I would be leary of allowing a PC to have an older more powerfull NPC as part of their equipment (unless its solo play then its not so disruptive) Of course that begs the quest...

you cant dodge volly fire Show me in the HU 2 rule book where it says you can't. You can even dodge emptying entire magazine or belt to you, though with a penalty. OR if you're talking about 10 missiles, that'd depend if they're guided or mini missile volley. In guided, yeah can't dodge them but th...

Way to entirely miss the point. Which is what? The stats for lifting weight in Rifts indicate the amount you can raise, not the amount you can support in a raised position. When generally talking about superheroes and stuff, how much they can lift is exactly how much they can support or that can so...

On HU2 it's on the page 15, before the attribute bonus charts "Attributes beyond 30" tells caps for each stat and when it's relevant or not to pass them. Doesn't HU2 still have that whole 'compatible with TMNT' statement? TMNT has extended attribute tables TMNT has totally different rules...

Supernatural strength (can lift 10 tons on straight arms) Being able to do a locked out support of a given weight isn't the same as being able to 'lift' the weight though. Compare the number of people who can do handstands to the number who can do handstand pushups. Or the number of people who can ...

If the villain is intended to take on an entire group of heroes himself, I usually add up the character levels, eyeball it up or down a bit, then assign him that level. Powers are almost never random for me, I usually assign them based on the villain concept. EXAMPLE: I want to do an adventure wher...

Hey, I'm looking for suggestions in how to create villains, both longterm campaign ones and short, minor threats. How do you usually determine the levels and the powers of the foes, do you use the GM random creation or do you roll them as normal characters and just boost their experience level accor...

Okay thank you everyone, I have come to realize that yes, Physical Training should be able to pass the speed as they're not ordinary. I suppose by normal humans it would mean special training and hardware and such and the stat caps would make sense there, (why would hardware or super sleuth need sup...

I've seen it done in some other RPs, but I've noticed the best way to get the players invested is to reward them for writing and investing into the character.

well with RoboCop rebooting soon to a theater near you, I think we will see a resurgence of bionic inspiration. That is Robotics more than Bionics though, even has "Robo" in the name. What really keeps it behind is the outdated technology and the fact it seems that almost anyone can get t...

I personally never make people roll, but I do want them to have a concept and stick with it. I just can't imagine anyone selecting extraordinary physical strength over superhuman strength.

HU2, pp 15-16: Attributes beyond 30 ME, IQ, MA, and PB are normally maxed out at 30 for mortals. Bonuses do not increase should the character have a number higher than thirty; the only exception might be a god and aliens. PS: Some characters will acquire a PB attribute beyond the limits of the bonu...

Dobergirl

I have to ask. Physical Training is about people pushing themselves past normal limits, right? However, Heroes state that SPD 30 is max for normal humans usually. Would physical training with speed focus be able to pass the 30 SPD cap though?

Dobergirl

Not sure what you mean by 'chi and energy' because the only energy attack ancient masters have is their 'unleash chi' power. The problem with that is that it takes a lot of melee actions to use, and the damage it does isn't very impressive compared to the amount of damage a Plasma guy can dish out ...

Unleash chi and shoot energy attacks until he goes to coma or unconcious or gives up.

It just occured to me, if one wants to make the best character in the game, they want to be a sidekick to Ancient Master. You get Martial Arts Mastery and all the tons of bonuses like dual wielding and all holds and all kicks and intitative and strike bonuses at level 1, PLUS, athletics and body bui...

OK, so the question of PT characters being able to hurt Invulnerable characters got me looking at the class closer. A PT character who focuses on Strength has the equivalent of Superhuman PS. SO, take a such a character and give him a strength of 30 (not really that hard to do). Such a character ca...

Okay, I'll bite. I was making a character with Animal Brother power but I could not find any reference or explanation about them. It's quite possibly the least explained or expanded power. I have several questions. 1) The familiar is said that it can be "any kind and any size", do I get to...

This is relevant to something I'm doing. IS there such thing as MAX AR? Is 18 as much as one can get AR or is there possibility of having even bigger AR? If there's a MAX AR one can't pass, what value would that be?

This is something I got in talk with one of my longterm players recently. How does the language and literacy skills come to play anyway and how does rolling them affect? Like if I roll bellow talking it'd be like "So I was walkin... MPH.... MMMPH!!!" ? For text, I can guess it means not re...

I think they need total rewrite. If I get symbiote or my player gets one, it almost always is re rolled.

If you want to have literally invulnerable character, go ahead, just make sure your GM is okay with it or if you GM, ask if the player wants it like that. It's not like that matters much in terms of many powers are even way more broken than it is, I don't see any harm in being literally invulnerable...

So, I was thinking recently though, probably will not be putting this up it was somewhat unclear to me. How should Deific Curse: Confer Immortality work on heroes? What if a hero who is immune to illness or has super healing or one that's got longevity, would they be immortal with less or not any of...

Allowing each hero to be a Mega-Hero would presumably help - every character starting out with supernatural P.S., extra bonuses and double the range on their powers would be handy. Personally, I like the the idea of a Natural Genius Mega-Hero ("They call me...Think Tank!"). Rifter #37 has...

If your characters do not have a snow balls chance in a really really warm place, why throw them at it?

Yeah, that's not going to work out. Figuring out helps you only to half the fight, AI like her takes also really strong characters and not just smarts.

Like the topic title says, this is what has been in my mind lately after having a major villain who's hideous. Horror and awe factor are linked together and a very huge PB would probably give points to Awe factor, right? (Generally, I've had anything over PB of 16 start giving bonuses due to being g...
