..but remember, IF the Forge picks a Blhaze, then you LOSE the Blhaze and become a Cosmo-Knight.
I've been re-reading the cosmo-knight section from Phaseworld several times now. Where does it say you lose all your prev powers/skills/spells/etc? I'm starting to think this is another Rifts "urban legend".
A]] You'll find out soon enough that Drawings in the Books are often not only misleading but outright inaccurate. Just look at the picture of the Altara Warrior Woman (SDC, normal Human Strength) kicking the teeth out of a Splugorth High Lord (MDC Body, Supernatural P.S.)gwa1965 wrote:cornholioprime wrote: Page 102:

alright, skills are lost. says nothing about powers, psi abilities, inborn abilities, etc. One might argue spells would have to be relearned.
One might also argue if they have a vulnerability to magic, they may not be able to use it until they fall.
superpowers are completely ignored here. look at the illustration of the 3 c-k's. Ignoring centaurs as a race, who's to say 4-arms is natural or a mutation?
in a sidebar, good debating with you. #2 still comming.

So what do you think, as far as tanks go?

How would you get the Imortal godling from HU to be given a "true" Godling status by the Pantheon?
or how would a "true" Godling of the Pantheon get HU superpowers?
If you can figure this out then that is a total badass for sure!

Are the rules for changing OCCs presented in any Rifts books?

ACtually I dont' NEED to figure it out I have.
It goes like this.
An Immortal Godling is an Immortal Godling Yes?
There for if you look in PU2 it says you get an extra pwoer and to roll/chose from a table for more, so you choose the one that lets you develope powers over time and by 15thlevel you have sixth major powers.
Now look in the Pantheons book, it says Immortal Godling get to pick three special abilities from this list.
Do so, after all your either an Immortal Godling or you aren't.

Necrite wrote:This requires using optional rules from Rifter #30, but it is 100% legal... no "quasi-"!
It does require a lot of money, however... WAY more than a character would normally have.
Cyberknight
Skills
HtH: Martial Arts (free)
Boxing
Robot Combat Elite (SAMAS)
Weapon Specializartion (Sword, Rifter #30)
Weapon Mastery (Sword, Increased Speed)
Equipment
SAMAS Power Armor
Vibro-Sword
Talisman containing Speed Weapon spell
When the cyberknight activates the talisman, he has 22 attacks per melee - at first level. And as he levels, he gets more.
For clarification, here's the breakdown:
HtH:MA - 4 attacks
CK bonus - +1
Boxing - +1
PAC:E - +2 (while wearing PA)
WS:Sword - +1
WM:Sword - +1
Improved Speed (selected ability granted by WM) - +1
Total 11 attacks. Activate the talisman, and the character gets double the attacks!
The vibro-sword is necessary because the Speed Weapon spell won't work on magic weapons, and therefore shouldn't work on a psi-sword either.

Wait... what's special about xiticix swords? If there's anything magically or psionically "special" about them, you can't use the Speed Weapon spell.

I believe that he is adding the 3 attacks from the Hwarang do to the 2 attacks from Mo gi gong...but my math cant get 11 no matter what i try . there is a special combo for these two types of HtH but it is poorly worded. This is not how i would interpret the combo. It says that you use the attacks from Hwarang do for weapon attacks (normaly it is ony barehanded), NOT that you add the Hwarang do's 3 to the Mo gi gong's 2.
No matter how you work it you can't come out with 11 attacks
2 for living
2 for being a Jeridu
3 from Hwarang do
+2 from Mo gi gong
+1 from Hwarang do @ 2nd lvl
+ another 2 @ 4th level for being a Jeridu
=12 @ 4th level (assuming you do add the Hwarang do's 3 to the Mo gi gong's 2)
What it should be IMO is:
2 for living
2 for beign a Jeridu
3 from Hwarang do (but with Mo gi gong these can be use for any melee weapon)
+1 from Hwarang do @ 2nd level
+2 for being a Jeridu @ 4th level
=10
[/quote]Then if you wanna get nasty make him a Temporal Warrior with 14 years of servitude (5th level) +2 attacks = 12 attacks,
have the Temp. warrior know Fleet Feet, 12 x 2 = 24 attacks per melee....
then he kidnaps a Techno Wizard and forces him to make 6 Battle fury blades so that each attack can cut twice with the sword and remember all 6 arms can attack at once!
12 x 2 (for fleet feet) = 24
24 x 6 (for the number of arms) = 144
144 x 2 (for the BF blades) = 288 attacks per melee!
288 attacks x 2d4x10 MD per attack = 576d4x10 MD per melee !
So (assuming that all attacks hit home) thats a Minimum of 5760 MD and a Maximum of 23,040 MD per round !
He is a walking blender!
PLUS he has autododge from being a Jeridu and multiple dodge from his MA styles and he has a forcefield with 600 MDC from the BF Blades!!
Now that is plain sick

Besides, with the Sea Inquisitor's experience point table, I level up faster than a vagabond with a Monty Haul GM.
The Mulka was a great call as well.
