Grackletooth Regeneration and other questions.

Unread post by Greyaxe »

According to D-Bees of North America. The Mighty Grackletooth regenerates at a rate of 4d6/24hrs and regenerate tails, first question.
Will they regenerate like Gargoyles, lost limbs, damaged organs etc?
Second Question
If they can regenerate limbs would the rate of regeneration be the same as the tail?
Third Question
Say I have a Grackletooth with a PS in the high 30's can I use paired grenade launchers (shooting wild of course).
Fourth Question.
Does a called shot with melee weapons count as two attacks?

Petrified wood just because we could.

No, only tail regeneration capacity. Thinks of lizards' tail autotomy.

See answer #1.

I have always done it that way.
- Un blog de Rifts. My blog about our game.
- Maqui Ed. My RPG company.

Actually, the called shot with a melee weapon does not count as two attacks. I remember seeing it somewhere, but I don't have immediate access to my books to confirm that.

Lots of folks seem to think it is 2 actions but i had never heard that before. I know aiming costs an avtion, but they aren't the same thing.

Until Dead Reign I wasn't even clear that you could normally make called shots with melee weapons.

iirc, the one action thing is not official... but there is a mention that it's a single action to stake a vampire's heart (which is presumably an aimed shot) in the old vampire kingdoms book. no idea if that stayed in the new version... and frankly, in the RMB i don't think an aimed shot was considered to be 2 actions either, so i'm not sure i would consider it conclusive proof that it should be a single action to aim a melee attack under RUE rules either.

I thought that aiming was only for ranged attacks.
