In the Splynn WB you can purchase new tattoos. From a High Lord......

Role-play it, just keep the context. If a PC uses his MA to intimidate a cop, then it will have the same effect that intimidating a cop would have in real life (probably a call for backup, depending on the situation). If a PC uses his MA to intimidate somebody with a higher MA, that person can stil...

Hey there y'all, Had a player throw a campaign on it's head (big surprise) it started out as a Chi-town burbs campaign and all was going along well when this big explosion went off nearby (due to the character) and upon his arrival at the scene it turned out that there was an ISS squad in the area a...

Some excellent points there both of you. I agree, they were attacks and the GM did too so he had to try and the officer failed his saves (the second with a 2 I think), so off it went and the Mind Melter's player pointed out that a mind wipe takes 3 minutes (still an age really) but only mentions ISP...

An interesting scenario came up the other day and I thought I'd share it. First a tiny bit of background. Two of the players were captured during a raid on a large group (200) of high tech bandits, stopping them from taking over a mine in the area. The bandits took their stuff, beat them, imprisoned...

Cybssynthcryth frankly LIKES being feared as a media mogul....as a slaver and conquerer, he struck fear with his warfleets and armies of minions, but he also provoked violent responses and counterattacks...as a network manager and news overseer, he can spread as much, if not MORE, terror and appreh...

I have found that Reading the books instead of skimming actually allows your mind to Remember where things are. If you are having problems remembering I suggest learning to meditate. This is essentially a Defraging technique that has been around for some 10,000 years. I find it helps with all those...

Ah...I believe the undead slayers are made by the True Atlanteans themselves not by the splugorth. The vampire arrows are only for T-archers (made only by the splugorth). Therefore Undead slayers don't have access to (unless they are splugorth slaves) any of the power arrow tattoos. Just so we are ...

Depends a lot on the campaign, I don't mind really so long as I have at least one small power of some kind

My current character is a 4th level Undead Slayer

I tend to like it because you can pretty much be whatever the hell you want, which very few RPGs allow.

Well in a lot of countries now that have militaristic governments, the distinction between military and police a fine line indeed.

This is only true when playing with a bad DM. .... A good DM can tailor his campaigns anyway he wants in D&D. The PROBLEM is, how D&D is often presented, ESP the last few years since the D20 system came out. Its always presented as hack and slash, powergame for the best character, and look ...

As for my own list, I pretty much like the rankings in the original post... though I'd put the Demon Queller just a bit above the Tattooed Man mainly because the DQ doesn't have to physically access his body in order to use his powers. The T-Man doesn't have to physically touch the tattoos after 6t...

A less maniacal leader who knows better than to start a war on two fronts would get a lot more accomplished.

Especially if that leader was not worried about magic users and was happy to have them as part of the Coalition

I voted for the Chi Town/ Coalition States option. BUT! Only if its JUST Chi Town. Many of the Other Coalition States or former States have their own books already (Lone Star, Arkansas, and Free Quebec).

So do you guys think that the Sense and track powers would go up with the level of the other/new OCC? Or would they stay locked at the level of the Psi-Stalker when he switched? Yes it would increase per level. Its like any RCC that is able to pick an OCC. They have this innate or natural ability d...

Was thinking of this last night, there are two magic tattoos involving either undead and or vampires, the heart impaled with stake and the cross. The Heart impaled tat is protection from vamps (mind control and can't be turned into one) yet it does not repel them. The Cross is the same as turning th...

In Rifts, Creatures and Objects of Magic respond to (my informal name for it) the Rules of Magic. Which doesn't necessarily have to make ANY sense on the Physical Level at all -and often doesn't. That I can agree with. But I still think the Cosmis Blast would still do some damage to a vampire I'll ...

5. "So how should I explain it in the game?" Choose one (or more) of the following: a) The Christian God exists in Rifts Earth. He hates vampires and His power flowes through crosses and other Christian holy symbols. b) The Judas thing. It also explains why Silver hurts them, but unfortunately it d...

I think the greek/roman ones are around, and there's plenty of demons. I think it could make for some neat rifts story arcs and concepts (or are they already around?)

I think a helpful NPC is a good idea as most likely a newish character won't be too powerful and will probably need a bit of help. As for enemies, I suggest a few random monsters from the tables at the back of the old RMB if you have it (unfortunatly not included in the new RUE) as they make great G...

It should be based on what borders are always based on: Whoever controls what and where. Exactly. and don't forget, those who draw the map tend to place the borders according to where they think their country is, creating a very biased map.
