Tar'maeon The Tar'maeon are a race of aquatic humanoids. They come from an ocean planet that resides outside the normal life zone of its star. the surface is so cold that the entire planet is encased in a shell of ice. The shell of ice is the topmost portion the the planet-wide ocean. No life would ...

Care to elaborate?

I said Races because they ARE Races. Classes are Classes not Races. No I am not Going to argue with you over this cause I am using the words correctly. Dude, stop splitting hairs. I don't care. I'm asking for help not arguments. If you have more good ideas, cool beans. If you wanna argue, save it. ...

Alright, so far so good. Those are good R.C.C's. What about O.C.C's? Anyone got something on that? Nope,Those are Good Races. Yep one of them has an RCC related to it but they are both races. An R.C.C is a race. It means Racial Character Class. You can be an R.C.C and an O.C.C. I really need some g...

I have several alien races made up. I haven't gone so fantasy so as to include elves or dwarves though. I have magic, ancient artifacts, lost civilizations and dead alien races, etc. I haven't used a great deal of standard fantasy elements. I primarily borrow from mythologies. For instance, I have a...

I need ideas. I'm putting together a Sci-fi/Fantasy space campaign and I'm looking to make up some O.c.c's. All I need from you is some good character ideas. Magic, science, technology, martial, etc. anything. Be as creative and out there as you'd like. no holds barred. Planet ideas are welcome as w...

I have difficulty with the athanatos and shadows of light in general. About half of it is just crap with contrived plot and canon and the other half is good but, needs constant editing. I drop ALL the ridiculous p.c.c's in SoL and the vaash ( they simply make no sense). I also ignore the whole reape...

AmberImmortal

Both rifts and nightbane have quite a few more spells though.

AmberImmortal

A lot of spells in HU2 are basically just run off from other palladium games. it's not really as extensive. It's also not very well thought out.in other palladium games magic is very extensive and very well thought out. It seems Heroes just got bare essentials.

AmberImmortal

Any help at all is welcome. I'm still looking for any and all advice on the subject. This thread is a little old but, I'm still concerned with what's said on it. So thanks. I appreciate the help

Vibro weapons are not so impossible... I think of them like a combination of jack hammer and reciprocating saw in a compact extra fast, extra hard format that looks like a normal weapon, but moves so fast that you can't see the vibration... other than a dull hum sound and a mild shaking when held.....

AmberImmortal

The single spell I believe would make the most impact on any modern military would be the 5th level Sustain, which you surprisingly left off your list. Only 12 PPE to cast, affects the caster or two others by touch, lasts 24 hours per level, and totally negates one's need for food, water, and breat...

AmberImmortal

I think a psi soldier would benefit most from clairoyance, sixth sense, bio regenerate, and summon inner strength. standard training would fitthe best,"no special treatment for you mind power sissies, now give me 100 push ups." That would be good. Like the PAB Psychic field agent from nig...

AmberImmortal

Well, there is already an option for an Empowered to be a Robotics character as well, complete with disabilites. I was just wondering if the same could be done for making them an analytical genius.

AmberImmortal

What psionic powers do you think would be the most useful for soldiers and military types? Also, how would these Psi-Soldiers be trained?

AmberImmortal

Magic in the Military...an analysis... Well, looking at magic from a capability standpoint, there is not a lot that magic can offer that trumps tech in a modern world and it is comparable to late Victorian/steampunk effectiveness. If you were going to lose a skill program, they would then gain know...

AmberImmortal

main reason robots are good for hunting mages = Robots are too heavy for mages to manipulate with most spells. What do you mean? I don't think that most spells have weight limits, unless you're talking specifically about spells like TK, Levitate, and Featherweight. --flatline I don't know about wei...

Really? that's awesome.

None of these things will work every time. Nothing period works every time. Some spells work every time unless you're near a nega-psychic, a psi-nullifier, or an anti-magic cloud. My favorite example is, of course, Time Slip,but there are many others, some of which you've already mentioned (cloud o...

"Now I realize I might be poking a hornets nest here, but I am genuinely interested: How would a militarily-trained mage affect this scenario? Most predominantly a Battle Mage, who is both Soldier and Spell Caster. But also Combat Mages or Mystic Knights, who are both trained as soldiers in add...

AmberImmortal

In my campaign, I have taken into account the fact that mages are not combat inclined. This is stated specifically in Rifts Ultimate Edition. This is taken care of by having somebody with you at all times who is of combat/military inclination. A bodyguard, if you will. So, I'm well aware that a regu...

Not to get off topic but, Gladiator Quickflex? A Quicklfex alien with the Gladiator OCC from Mercenary Adventures and A Universal Kittani hoplite armor: .. + 16 or 21? Leap Dodge. at level 1. He is talking Rifts in the HU forum. To be fair, I'm talking rifts too. I started this thread as heroes but...

What would be interesting would be to find a highly developed species with advanced technology, then discover that little of their tech actually works for anyone else. Not because it's designed to identify user biometrics or anything fancy like that, but because the entire species are very powerful...

here's a side note: ... your Gm is flabbergasted by a +15 to dodge, but I can easily make a character that gets +19 to strike.. Its all abut the natural twenties... Try matching that roll on a continuous bases... Auto hit or auto dodge crit.... Love the fact that there is a solid answer to the craz...

AmberImmortal

Hookers huh? So much for Science. lol

clearly this thread really took off. hehe

AmberImmortal

how does that make sense to you? because they are "unnatural"? Then should it be pointed out somewhere that toasters get a +1 to save vs Magic They may get a resistance because you aren't casting they magic on the Suit. You're trying to cast it on the person inside. You're trying to cast ...

AmberImmortal

To add to this... one squad is what will be going into the building, there will be more outside with all windows and doors covered by direct fire weapons. Each team will be 4 guys and even some fresh faced privates can clear a room in 1 melee round with a day's worth of training. Vs a veteran infan...

AmberImmortal

First things first: I had no idea sleep had to be cast on food. I've so many damn spells in my head that I tend to forgeet how some of them actually work. So forget sleep, clearly, though useful, it's useless in this particular situation. Second. In rifts rules (pg. 190 of ultimate edition, I think)...

Robot Designs. Self explanatory. Go.

Actually guys, it doesn't matter really if the Aberrant Energy Dampener is TMC or not. I'm not using any of the races or organizations from AU anyway. I've made up all the races and humans are also prevalent in the Galaxy in this setting so don't worry about it. The Aberrant Energy Dampener is a goo...

Reviewing the previous posts this thread recieved, I realized that I had made an error. Earlier, I reffered to nay-sayers and debaters. Though, it is true that there has been some nay-sayers in this thread, none have been particularly vocal. I have another thread going dealing with a more specific a...

AmberImmortal

I am, in fact, drawing from the artifacts froms both Nightbane and Rifts. Anti-magic warriors could be outfitted with the anti-magic weapons. Especially if they were part of a semi-religious/mystical order. What about technology though? You think having True Robots act as mage hunters is a good idea...

AmberImmortal

I have a certain character in mind that I would like to create. I wanted an Analytical Genius/Weapons Expert ('cause, evidently, you can do that) who wore an exolskeleton (as allowed for the Analytical Genius budget) but, who also had physical ailments/disabilites. Are there any certain rules for th...

AmberImmortal

Warp Sound has a small ability that can practically negate a caster's ability to cast magic (even explicitly used as an example in the power). I know! It's awesome. Really good power for an anti-mage character. It would be really good for a mage bounty hunter or something. That's a good one as far ...

AmberImmortal

well said batts, the useful spells become things like Immobilize, Magic Net, Multiple Image, Fear, Heavy Breathing , Levitation ( of Blade traps), Apparition, Weightlessness, STench of hades, TIme Slip, and Wards, Speed of Snail, Reduce Self 6 inches, and Teleport Lesser (of Important items), and o...

Squads stick close together, especially when in a building, so the ten foot radius of the blinding flash is probably gonna get all of them. Half of them will probably save but, it's still a pretty good distraction seeing as how it can be cast 60 ft. away. Cloud of smoke, much like blinding flash, is...

Now I'm getting ideas for an Arcane Soldier.

AmberImmortal

They may not have access to that kind of fire power however. They many only have access to well-trained soldiers. After all, most paramilitary groups don't ususally have a lot in the way of "toys".

AmberImmortal

Well, it's possible that they can have these things. It's really quite easy to pull magic from other palladium games. They made it pretty easy. They encourage it, after all. Also, it's really easy just to take classes from other worlds. like the ley line walker, for instance.

AmberImmortal

Military tactics and trained black ops troops would be effective if deployed against virtually any threat , short of invulnerable mega-villains and giant alien robots, not just mages who need time to cast their spells. You should also keep in mind that of nearly all possible villain types, even the...

AmberImmortal

Millitary tactics would be pretty good for taking out mages. Mages take time to cast all but the most basic of spells. They would need the initiative to be able to take out a group of hardened black ops troops or even a regular fire team. Seeing as how initiative isn't exacly they're strong suit the...

AmberImmortal

I believe that the possible resistance to magic Power Armor *might* offer would have a lot more to do with the fact that man made materials block magic in some ways. Not a lot to do with line of sight.

AmberImmortal

Low tech is often the best way to go. Yeah it helps. lol. thanks.

AmberImmortal

I think the reason that pilots in giant robots/vehicles are protected from spells is probably because they're behind several feet of machinery. It's the same reason you can't hit somebody behind a wall. However, seeing is a part of the process because you can hit somebody through a window with certa...

AmberImmortal

Psi-Nullifier? is that still in beyond th supernatural?

AmberImmortal

I thought about the Nega-psychic but, I'm just not that fond of them. They're basically just the ultimate nay-sayers. Then again, I could probably turn that into a really good mage-hunting class in my world. That could be cool no?
