Are there rules for designing your own power armor?


Off the top of my head no, but I think there is some Heroes Unlimited material that could be useful as a basis if you are willing to hammer out some for Rifts.

My thoughts exactly. Of course the facilities to build a custom suit of armor will be hard to find.

Petrified wood just because we could.

Didn't really think about that. Thanks.


a decent mechanical engineer might be able to whip up a flight system. Also buying pre-made flight components means you just have to install.

thats where $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ comes in.

I got away with making my own power armor for the reason that I had it as a project of my character, he's had experiance (little, but some) in repairing them and he wasn't making it from scratch. He actually cannibalized 2-4 Glitterboys to make it, that and replaced the reactor with a Mechanoid crystal, he was a TW he can do that.

Though I would expect to tell the GM you'll give it limitations and penalties for situations. One for me was my character made it so he can wear his body armor while inside. If he tries without his armor he suffers a 15% piloting penality. Though it works out, he's SDC and if it gets destroyed he has an extra 150MDC/150SDC (we play SDC).

When I had a player group they created company like Orange County Choppers. Except they customized power armor and cyborg armor. Had a Coalition SAMAS that you didn't want looking Coalition or a cyborg wanting to look like Robocop. Bring it to Cool Daddy Custom Hardware in Kingsdale. Your stuff will rock.
