Jedi of course. Search your feelings, you know this to be true. Doubt it, they have a limited bag of tricks. If you think Jedi have a limited bag of tricks you do not know Star Wars as well as you seem to think you do. Based on ALL official information regarding Jedi they can in fact do pretty much...

Off the top of my head, there is the: Larhold Bow (SA2), Jungle Elf/Biomancer bow (SA), Native American Fetish Bow (Spirit West), Zen Master Bows (Japan) and the Immortal's personal weapon (PU2). PU2 also has the ability to Make bows, as the Ancient Weapons Master. This though, about covers it! The...

Yeah, yeah... he is also indistinguishable from magic.

(being a robot, and all)

They did make a robot of him in Japan didn't they? He really didn't write that much about Robots, though-That's Asimov.

For those in the Know; most of Yoda's quotes are based loosely on Taoist principles.......

In Mystic China, & in Rifts China 2, mages don't need to talk as there is a component of Silence. That said,
Chi spells are Silent!

hmm...thanks for trying to help. I'll have to just create something fresh. I'll just allow the PCs to know what it is if they are trained in lore: magic (with skill check, of course). I can't believe you liked this Drewkitty! This is a good spell! Me likey! Something like this: Spell of Legend: Sea...

Khanibal; Why not the Invulnerability Tattoo instead? or is that what you meant?

For those in the know, The Pixiebob cat isn't the Correct term for the cat mentioned. The cat is called a "polydactyl" cat. I'd call them Shrodingers cats for reference, & for Flavour! The Pixiebob is a Lynx-cat (sorta) Mix. Another name for the Polydactyls could be "Hemingways&q...

Actually, anything combined with Lee Kwan Choo & Pao Chih-you can combine the bonuses to Any MA to LKC, & Pao Chih is basically Armor, has 3 attacks max, +3 to initiative.

Ingex-Personnally I like the idea behind pin-inexpensive, when a Tee or a cap can cost alot down the road......

Grandil

I'm surprised at all the answers! Thanks, Gents!

Grandil

The main issue there is that while in theory you can make an unlimitedly awesome Vajra, you need to have the PPE to create it all at once, so there's a limit on how big you can make it. LMAO If you believe that you need all the PPE/Chi to make a Vajra at one time then you {**edits a question about ...

Grandil

Why use talismans when you can use Vajras-1st-spells of legend, Mystic China, Unlimited spells, as long as you have Tines. I usually use 2 Vajras-One with spells, & 1 as a storage for P.P.E, & Chi......... The main issue there is that while in theory you can make an unlimitedly awesome Vajr...

Grandil

Yeah, pretty much what drewkitty said. The spells gained at levels are essentially 'eureka' moments for the mage who was studying magic in general and a moment of inspiration strikes the mage that allows him to unlock how the spell works. As for the learning time, I don't think that the book stated...

I use the spell mod/create rules for spells the mage is specifically researching. Besides, it takes months of time to research spells like that, taking time out of adventuring to do it.

Time hole it!

Grandil

One way to look at it is Through the Looking Glass for Nightbane. What about that?

Why does Tien Hsueh-touch mastery only get 1 attack for 1st through 15th? This sucks.... Because you get Dim Mak at first level? In other words, all you need is one attack. Also, you're using the wrong version. The UNrevised version is better. I do use apocryphals. That being said, Noble Knight Gam...

Why does Tien Hsueh-touch mastery only get 1 attack for 1st through 15th? It gets another one at 9th. This sucks.... It lets you combine the Arts of Invisibility with Chi Mastery and Zenjoriki powers and Atemi skills -- and it's among the handful of Atemi styles to offer Dim Mak, as the only art of...

Cool thing 'bout LKC-you can use its bonuses with another MA!

Grandil

Some odd resentment to the idea of creative use of this spell. PPE really isn't all that, and this spell doesn't really affect much. If you're a low-level caster with knowledge of high level spells and just need the power on tap, sure. But as mentioned, you become a walking beacon - even to people ...

Spinachcat runs a reportedly awesome Demo game of Splicers in my neck of the woods (so I've heard; which makes me hope that Spinachcat, Ignex & Grandil hear about my awesome games too... ), so maybe we can poke him to write something up. Phase World though, eh...? I'm terribly tempted to make a...

These are cool, add a Gizmoteer from the same section & you have a cool combo. They're called
"Amaki Duelists".

Wait, what? I can't really understand what you're saying there, Grandil. at 2nd level a Psi-Slayer gets +1d4+1 MA, +1d4 ME. +1 attack, +3 to Initiative, or +2d6+2 I.S.P. extra reserve; Pick one. Also, the get some special powers: Pick one at 1st: TK Air Walk-Cool, Sleepwalk, ok, Locate & Track ...

Meh. Book says they're human only. Anything else is a house-rule. I hate Psi-Slayers anyways. Stupid, mostly redundant class. Rogue? Mind Bleeders also? Just guessing.... Have you looked at Psi-Slayers? +1d4+1 to MA/1d4 to ME/all at 4th? I make these adds Cumulative per level past 4th (House Rule) ...

Another way to transport them is to have the Spells D-Pockets, or D-Envelope

You can always draw your circle on a leather mat. Use it, and then roll up the mat for transport. The circle is not broken, it can be used again for the usual cost! Some circle components don't take well to being rolled up, specifically metals inscribed into circles and fluid components. you have t...

My vehicle of choice is a TW Turbo Wing Board. I also use a contra-gravity pack occasionally. One of the best mobility spells is Winged Flight.

Vehicles are limited in mobility and prone to destruction. I stopped wearing body armor for the same reasons. I got tired of replacing suits especially after getting them tricked out with techno-wizardry. I pretty much stick to Naruni Force Fields and Phase Fields as far as tech goes. Then how du g...

What are some thoughts on having a magic circle and all components set set up on a slab of some kind if you had the ability to summon the slab and everything on it to you? I find Circle Magic very powerful but time consuming in setup. If you could have a circle prepared in that manner and teleport ...

That being said, Above^, Never had the chance to play either, I have played a combo- Shifter/Seneschal Shifter; I figured I'd get twice as many Minions as usual.

to be totally honest though before any of you take one or the other way on my opinion i find the LLW too open for my self im scattered in spells smattered here and there based off of past problem.
