Re: how can a wizard get the ppe to cast a high level spell

i still can't tell, what was intended, but the sense i got from those threads and from the books. is that the really high ppe spells are really difficult to if not impossible to cast alone. i like that idea of a being able to draw on a leyline and building the magic for the duration of a ritual. all...

Re: Additional Rifts: Ultimate Edition Errata

RMB Glitterboys have 100 round but in RUE and later the have 1000 rounds which is correct? to me the 100 rounds is it allows a advanced pilot (10 attacks) 2 1/2 minutes of constant fire vs 25 mins of constant fire which I find stupendous.

personally I read it that telemechanics know how to use every part of the bot including the weapons systems treating it as though he has the pilot robots and power armor skill at 80% with the equivalence of weapons system with that bot so no bonuses no penalties.
