So basicly if they have something that they can't/don't want to kill for what it knows or for testing your stuck holding the guy under guard 24/7 or just accpect that fact that he is gonna escape sooner or latter?

So I was looking through the rifts books and I could not find much on prison for things with supernatural str, Yes there is one in the heros book but not in rifts. I was thinking about it, Unless you chair them up or some how restrain them there gonna get through any normal wall just buy slamming th...

UGH emp I hate this topic in any form its such a touchy topic. This is my take on psi vs hardened. Yes I know its not the same but bear with me here. You air in a fireproof power suit. I have a spell of tiny fire ball. I flex my mind bending psychic chops and using the power of my mind I bend the co...

Does this apply at raange as well or is this just melee attacks? And referances for ethier side of the argument would be helpful. I asked Kevin at an open house, and he said something like "Sure. Why wouldn't they?" Which is really the key question. The books NEVER say that simultaneous a...

What kind of vampires don't have stupid weaknesses?

Very true

gelidus

Although it does make me wonder we have two races that can use normal wepaons against vamps what else is there?

gelidus

yeah, i don't think there's anyone who can charge an e-clip and make it count as magic. Maybe, if you put an eye of elroy on a laser gun it get infinte ammo, i might allow that as a form of magical attack. Its also a million credits to do so. For a million credits and a gun that attracts cs dog boy...

gelidus

I know there is one or two classes that can charge a e-clip with ppe and then have it count as magic against vampires. Is the mystic knight one of them or did I get confused on this point?

gelidus

Thanks all. This gives me some idea about where to go from here.

gelidus

Was looking for info on this and I could not find anything for any of the large towns... I figure the CS would not keep any magic users (few exceptions) or dbs in jail as it is just easier to put them down. But what about places like lazlo? Is there anything on this anywhere? If not anyone have some...

OKay shameless plug here. But has anyone here read the dresden files? They have a really good magic system in that series that I enjoy greatly.. And it brings up a good point that I will emphasis(sp) here. TK is not pulling a gun and firing it.. Not sure why its being related to that... They are doi...

gelidus

A little off base perhaps but just my two cents. Arch 3 could beat the cs into the sand for two reasons one cannon one not. He can pump out more then they can.... Numbers matter ask the Germans. Second is moral... Archy would prolly send hordes of robots. They don't eat. They don't rest. They cant b...

gelidus

In my games I have always let them play it that way, The mind melter used to pull the juicers knives out of his sheaths and fling them at targets. As for turning them on if you want a in game reason. Pulling it from your sheath could be the motion that activates it. You don't want it to be overly co...

gelidus

Also, it would be interesting if their was no chance of detox for juicers. Once you undergo the Chemical Enhancement Augementation process, your a hopeless drugg addict who will die without your drugs. Would make getting a resupply much more interesting and a good Story Hook. The drugs to refill th...

What about the True Atlantean scenario? They must keep their PPE to power their Marks of Heritage, yet don't seem to have any negative side effects from not burning up all their PPE. I don't have the book in front of me, but here's my approach: 1) Reduce there's starting PPE the same percentage tha...

RUE 80 The removal of the bio-comp system is critical, because even without the drug harness, the system stimulates the body to create natural hormones and chemicals to unnatural and ultimately deadly proportions. Nothing there indicates that there would be anything like an instant effect. It'd tak...

Working in Security and having served in the Army, I can see where Bradshaw is coming from but I also agree with Gelidus that any supernatural threat penetrating Chi-town isn't going to be handled with minimal force. From reading the NTSET section of CWC and just plain common sense, anything supern...

You think that Wilks and Northern Gun were building their weapons pre-Rifts? Wilks at least was not building weapons pre-Rifts. New West page 203 has a quick profile on Wilks ...catering to the needs of the various civilian users of the laser, primarily the medical field. Gradually, Wilks expanded ...

I can't speak for a cop or solider but, Working as a bouncer and in several security, corrections and Loss Prevention jobs through my life. I can guaranty they have a code system set by some hirer up however, only a new guy goes around saying "we have a code 45 in progress." you'd sound l...

Chi-town has Dog Boys at the entrances to the City (that was in the main RPG IIRC) and Psi-battalion/Division works inside the City as well. The CS "Nut Set" (CWC) patrol the depths (and presumably the heights as well) of Chi-town and "deal" w/ any thing they encounter. Logic wo...

gelidus

The Coalition War campaign talks about Chi town security a bit. It also claims that creature invasions within Chi-Town are rare. It also says various baddies get into the poor sections VIA teleport and other means to eat children and such. Makes you wonder what they would do if something nasty got ...

gelidus

Is this info in any of the books. Not vague out lines but detailed (rare in rifts I know) like if something large and scary teleport in with a few friends suddenly appears in one of the upper floors of chi town with the rich people you know the ones the emperor cares about.... Anyone got anything if...

gelidus

I think this is where you aren't taking into account the power of media. Sure no one's reading (unless they are extraordinary), but the CS and more than a few travelling shows spread enough of the actual knowledge so you can know several things. I agree you're not going to know much about vampires ...

Exactly.... Unless you loved in new mexico then you smack the person who does not believe in vampires.

gelidus

Where would you hear this in Rifts and with what? Do the people of Canada believe in vampires or wear wolves? Or do the vampires believe in such as a thing called a murder wraith? Are all the baddies known to everyone? Or are some just considered myth or legend? And no I'm not talking about high ran...

Okay so after taking crap from his wife you really think he is gonna wanna hear alot of "I did you mom...I did your wife" From a buncha magic pigeons ?

Archangel23 This may be true, but needs to be played out. I honestly think the GB may have the edge...but I once thought a Mega Juicer had the edge over a Cyber Knight until it played out. but the GB would. the cosmo knight has no information on him and seeing a big, shiny, man pointing a gun at yo...

Anyone have a cannon answer to that?

You cant see a buncha teen age magic casters on a lay line just casting hundred of magic pigeons to him? It would be the ultimate teen age prank call. I dont think his normal body guard could take care of that unless he has a few dozen of them hanging around him.

ok even assuming they cant fly through the walls. You have to assume its going to fly through a door or a open window or a vent (yes Im using some logic in rifts sorry) Also the thrown room would be a good spot to have them wait...although I doubt it needs to be that detailed of a location. Given th...

So seeing how these things can fly through walls and such (if memory serves) How many of these things do you think emperor prosak gets an hour?

Problem with that one KC your using logic. Its rifts so....look at the problem in a mirror while hanging upside down. :b

The Galactus Kid wrote:I would say that the sdc needles that are part of the harness couldn't penetrate the skin so the chemicals wouldn't be able to affect the body as much as they should. The person would die horribly.

So your telling me in a world of almost mdc everything they dont have mdc needles?

gelidus

How would this work as far as there mdc? Would the sdc gain translate to mdc? Or would they just get large amounts of sdc despite them being mdc?

gelidus

So one of the many reasons I like Rifts is the world and the amount of options you have to play. Its astounding just how much you can do and the random events that can and do often take place. Yes the rules are a bit fuzzy but you can work around that with a little practice But my main complaint is ...

Power punch. Does this hit on the same round that the player starts it or does the hit get struck on the next round? Knock back.

Because of the severe environmental damage and they are worried it may set off another PPE surge that created the Rifts in the first place IMO. Virutally NOBODY on Rifts Earth knows exactly what happened on 22 Dec 2098. Maybe A.R.C.H.I.E. Maybe a few Atlanteans who were aorund but survived the cent...

In the real world, a sniper is patient. A sniper waits for the shot.

Exactly! Against natural MDC cre...
