custom rules
Just wondering if anybody uses house rules.instead of the minus ten rule. Also does anyone have rules for ripping off arms or legs of robot power armour or robots?

Re: custom rules
I don't know about the current rule books, but the original Robotech books had rules for ripping damage. It shouldn't be too hard to extrapolate a set of rules from that.
"Then one day, I was just walking down the street and I heard a voice behind me say, 'Reach for it Mister.', and I spun around and there I was face to face with a six-year-old kid.
Well, I just threw my guns down, walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass.”

I would humbly suggest that it is technically impossible to play Rifts without house rules.
I let my wife play rifts once....................she shot me in the back of the head with a naruni plasma pistol, gaffa taped a type 4 fusion block to my nether regions, and kicked my ass off the apc travelling at 100 MPH
gimme a break, my pc is a playa, not me.

Our group uses the -10, but bonuses are permitted in most circumstances.
Leaving the PC with a -7 to +2 on average.

So very much this.
Too much ammo is a self-correcting problem.
Re: custom rules
I could probably fill a source book with my house rules on building things alone.
Heck I have a house rule for the affects of pulling some ones pants down around their ankles mid fight.(A player did it and I ruled on it and made the ruling a house rule.)
As I understand it even Kevin S uses house rules.

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.

Technically... wrong. Technically it works and is playable. Figuratively it is like a 98 Chevy S10 with a bad clutch, starter, alternator.
It's on again off again and club my when it does work.
