While it may make a modicum of sense to make an Ultimate version of PF I don't think it will happen.

The old vesion actually had specialties for each OCC and theyseemed to go the opposite with the 2nd ed. OCCs use to have OCC specific HTH training and the odd other thing, but it seemed they wer trying to do more of Rifts Fantays type setup. Now that the RUE has been out it should revert to smething more akin to 1st ed for PF with some of hte mods that came about in 2nd ed as well as some thign that have been introduced in RUE.

Example the Range should get similar abilities as the Wilderness scout since they are essentially the same kind of Char just different environments. Paladins could be more like Cyberknights, Soldier/Fighter can get some thigns similar to say a Merc....etc etc also I think the availability of the Elemental Fusionist woudl be good for PF as well.
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree :D

No, I do not.

I like PF, and I like the fact that it is still fairly different from RIFTS, which I'm not a big fan of. Anything making it more similar to RIFTS is a losing proposition.

On top of that, we don't even have all the PF books up to the current version. I'd hate to see time and effort wasted on creating a third edition of some of them, while we still need second editions of a couple, and there are many unexplored areas that don't have books at all.

The only thing I would like to see added to the Palladium Fantasy core book is the PF information from the Cutting Room Floor section of the website.

I don't want a PF:UE per say. But what I would buy is a PF hardback. Imagine a PF book with a gorgeous color map of the world, some color images of wizards and rangers and dragons... drool. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

I'm content with the book as is. And I'd rather not see a revised, revised edition before the Old Kingdom is fleshed out.

that would be sweet to see a hardback PF book. I have the crimson ED. but that's put up.. but to see full color maps and pics would be great. and i agree with most everyone else when I say No to a PF:UE, finish out the world books Frist before going and trying to do anything like that.

Not until the world is finished >< Then I'd consider it, but there's tooooo much gray space as is. Give me Old Kingdoms, 2nd Edition Yin-Sloth and Island at edge of world, Southwind, LoD3, maybe some added filling on Eastern Kingdoms (Phi and Lopan could use some added details put in something, perhaps a rifter, seems hard to make a full book on just them). Perhaps a UE Palladium core book before the other side of the wall is revealed, MAYBE.

After Phi & Lopan, Land of South Winds, Old Kingdom 1, Old Kingdom 2, Wolfen Wars, Land of the Damned 3, 2E update of Island at the Edge of the World, 2E Update of Yin Sloth Jungles, the next Mysteries of Magic book(s), ask again. Until then, absolutely not. Even then, still probably not.

Aye, after this list is done, we're still only looking at a maybe.

Unlike most players, I'm all for complicated as hell classes with cool shiny abilities and very different starting points and progression and would normally jump at the idea of doing so officially for Palladium beyond my own home brew rules. However; These sorts of things are NOT what Palladium's writing staff is best at (sorry if that's a huge shocker or comes off as rude), it's pretty rare for me to see a game mechanic in a PB book that makes me go "Oh that's cool" short of a few stray abilities in D&D or a gem tucked into a random adventure. PB writes epic settings with staggering depth and color that simply isn't matched in anything else. I'd buy their books if it was just 100 Pages of ruleless fluff, because they're simply worth it in that regard. I'd think it best that PB focuses on their strengths, filling out their setting, before trying to patch up their rules.

I think a hardcover version of Palladium Fantasy would be nice. Same book, same cover art, just in a hard cover that'd be fine, maybe a color pull-out map of the world. That'd be nice other than that, no changes.

I'd rather see Old Kingdom 1 & 2, Land of Damned 3, etc.
