Re: Magic Users and Combat...

So here's a way to think about it: training in HtoH isn't just about learning to throw a punch, or how to parry. It's about learning to be comfortable in combat, not panicking, and keeping one's cool. That mental aspect is what allows a mage to quickly recite an invocation and channel his PPE. That...

Magic Users and Combat...

So, I'm wondering how people handle this. This seems strange to me. Magic users are not "fighters" typically. So it seems strange to me that in the Ultimate Edition it's talking about spell levels 1-5 use one melee attack. Levels 6-10 use two melee attacks, and levels 11-15 use up 3 melee ...

Re: NEW 30th Edition Hard Cover of the Origin Rifts RPG Main

Hardcover RMB? Yeah, I might go for that. In the store they have it for pre-order now. I got the email on it. They are going to have hard covers for each of the core books. Game Master Guide, Book of Magic, and Adventure Guide... I've been buying Rifts books like crazy rebuilding my library and I'v...

Re: Techno-Wizards... any tips? HELP PLEASE!

Thanks guys... after racking my brain I've decided to rewrite the TW OCC to something useful and generally beneficial to a player group. It will marry the original and new TW OCCs. The "advanced" rules will only be used for magnum opus style devices. Wanna make the most OP greater rune wea...

Techno-Wizards... any tips? HELP PLEASE!

I have a player that is considering running a Techno-Wizard character and the new TW in the Ultimate Edition seems kind of complex... parts, prototypes, drawing schematics, long hours of engineering with construction time formulas, Construction cost formulas, PPE Costs, mistakes, gem-spell matching,...

Re: Credits! What are they and how do they work?

As per the RMB, the text says that the CS manages its Uni-credits without messing with transactions so they could have intelligence on the users. Which make it source like UC are like bitcoin, where every transaction is recorded and sent to a central processing hub. However, I play that all Credits...

Re: Credits! What are they and how do they work?

Killer Cyborg,

Thanks, I read through all of that. 6 new rifts books arrived on my doorstep today... ;-) My new collection is starting to grow.

FYI, when I click all those links from that RainOfSteel post.... none of them appear to work for me. Do they work for you?

Thanks again...

Re: Credits! What are they and how do they work?

Whew. You should probably search through the forums for previous times this has come up. Killer, thanks for the reply. You don't have to browse long to see that you are a key figure around here. Yeah, here's the deal. I'm slogging through hundreds of pages of rule books currently. After that I'm co...

Credits! What are they and how do they work?

Are they a physical currency like paper and coins? Are they on some sort of card like a credit card needing a swipe transaction? Are they on a memory stick or device? Do credits use some other form of exchange not listed? Who creates credits and how are they universally accepted?

Re: A Model Adventure: Glitter Boy Miniature Project

GL, I look forward to seeing the progress. I understand the waiting for the delivery. My Palladium XMas package sat in Michigan, unmoved at the post office, from December 23 until just recently. It arrived on Saturday 1/9/2021. I'm not upset about it. With Covid, it is what it is... Good things come...
