Re: What would be best for Rifts: Earth (in my opinion)

I would like to see a push to have more non-combat adverturers in the new books. More OCC like the rogue scientist and the operator. I would also like to more skills like Resist Torture(Splicers) That add bonuses over character development rather than all at once.

Re: Natural strength and power armor question.

If you are a person of exseptional PS and you jump in a power armor, you use the strength of the power armor. If you jump in something like the Gladius and you have greater strength than the armor, you should be able to do your PS damage,but thats just my opinion.
