and I don't remember how I handled NPC's? I am going to have between 2-4 players all who are new to Palladium AND Rifts. I for the life of me cannot remember how I cribbed the npc's, as in what the +'s for combat should be, the SDC for the bad guys I seem to remember being somewhere between 15-30 fo...

This was an excellent job and I know that I am commenting on an old post but this deserved it! Well done and swiped to be used sometime down the road!!

Ronin84

Has anyone done this? Is there anything I need to be wary of? Players were flipping through Dead Reign and looking at some of the skills in there. Thanks in advance...

Ronin84

WOW, a thread that I started is suggested to someone else! I am so honored! LOL! Ok, so now that my excitement has toned down, do you have any ideas on where in the setting you want to play (Dino Swamp, Federation of Magic, New West). I personally love the New West setting book. Lots of space to ro...

Ok I have two teenagers who have been playing rpg's for four years and I have an 11 year old who has been playing for two. I would appreciate some suggestions on how to start off a game with them....I'm not worried about them learning new systems but just the setting and I am looking for a few nice ...

+2 to strike parry dodge damage. Ah, the old 'plus two to everything' rule. A classic. One thing I do in addition to this just to add some differentiation is the following racial modifications: for humans and unless stated otherwise, all stats average. If an elf, gnome or goblin, P.P. 18 (an extra ...

+2 to strike parry dodge damage. Half the players HP+SDC. If there tougher +3. Increase SDC. NEVER let the players know what the NPC stats are - you may want to alter them up or down depending on some roles (I am a fan of chance but also of tension). NOW that is what I was talking about, great sugg...

As I posted earlier I am trying to get back into Palladium and it has been a LONG time since I ran any of their games, though at one time I owned just about every book they had put out.... I am curious as to when it comes to bad guys what shorthand methods do you use for keeping track of various thi...

Ronin84

I am indeed using the 2nd edition and I will make sure to check those sections you cited, thanks!

Ronin84

Ok yet another question from a newbie GM, is there a list of the languages of the Known World somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Ronin84

I feel dumb for asking the initial question because I should have known the inevitable realism comparisons get thrown in. I mean no insult to anyone, please don't take the comment that way. I always laugh a bit on the irony of realism during a role playing game. I am going to go with the 3d6 for the...

Ronin84

This is most likely a stupid idea, but a real Maul would hurt really bad. Most likely worse than a normal hammer weapon. But like stated before it is really hard to use, and it is not a quick weapon at all. You could just ramp up the damage a lot, but then have it cost two actions to hit with it. K...

Ronin84

This group sounds ripe for a dose of the magnificent 7! Make the group believe they are doing something for a great reward and really they are doing it because it needs to be done, THAT is the reward. Maybe that noble that is stirring things up is really a nasty bad guy who needs to be taken down a ...

Ronin84

Thanks, I think I will go with the 3d like the claymore right now, that just seems right....

Ronin84

Howdy everyone! I have lurked for years and over the last few I have been teaching my sons and their friends how to game. We started with the grand daddy and now I want to introduce them to something a bit different. One of the kids loves using a Maul, I saw in the rules that it does 2d4 but is not ...

Ronin84

I thought I had seen this somewhere and I know that I'm gonna feel dumb here real quick but does this power exist?

Ronin84

IIRC, Dinosaur adventures about Disneyworld talks about subterranean mantainance corridors: maybe a 7 evil dwarfs have made them their turf. Also you can use one or two kinetic entities who controls rusted attractions... Hope this helps. kinetic entities? Do you mean Tectonic Entities? If so imagin...

Ronin84

Being from Chicago, the part about Cutler was drop dead funny!

Ronin84

Well...I an not a fan of the game but was using some of the ideas for another game but kept on coming back every few days to catch up on the story. Hope all is well in the real world and when you have a chance would love to see more of your writing, have a great holiday season!

Ronin84

Again I do like the suggestion of playing Coalition Soldiers BUT I need to clarify something. My school is made up of a diverse population over 65% of our students speak a second language at home as their PRIMARY language and most of out parents do not even speak English. We have kids who have lived...

Ronin84

Thanks everyone for your suggestions...I am going to make use of the Banner Orphanage in Firetown as an introduction. Having them not directly exposed to the "above" world but having read about it will have special meaning once they are exposed. Sort of "The Island" meets X-men.....

Ronin84

I sponsor a high school gaming club for boys and girls from 14-19 and have been doing this for 15 years. I have recently re-discovered RIFTS and found myself wanting to do something with this system and with those kids. Now I have most of the books but have started reading about the 'burbs and want ...

Ronin84

Coming into this late but I have some players who are willing to try the game, I saw something somewhere about some handouts for new players...can anyone help me with that?

Thanks!!!

Ronin84

I love the education table that was done and stickied and will be using it BUT does anyone know where I can find a compiled skill list out there. Utilizing some of the skills across the Megaverse?

I did search here and came up with lots of skills BUT no real list.

Thanks in advance...

Ronin84

I have a group and want their stats to be even in the beginning are there any suggestions as to what those numbers should be.

I don't want them to roll I want them to have the same base numbers for their stats.

Thanks for any input!

Ronin84

Thanks that is what I was looking for, two confirmations that it was an ok idea.

Ronin84

I have most of the books that one included.

IT does not address the question at hand either though.

Thanks!

Ronin84

ROFL!

No I think I got it...they should be listed as RCC bonuses to this "race" and that would make it a lot clearer if that was indeed what they wanted to do.

Ronin84

I have a player who wants a Dog Boy but wants him to be a Merc Soldier, and the question is. Does the "Dog Boy" still get the special features listed in the RUE on pages 145-147? Are those just for Dog Boys and not a Feral one who is in another OCC? Thanks for any help or direction for help.

Ronin84

LOL!

Well I would hate to hear the long answer.

Ronin84

Of course I have the first edition of said book and it is not in there...now I have to try and track that one down, which of course is back ordered....

Sheesh...

Ronin84

Thanks I will go check the AUG...

Ronin84

Thanks guys now if I can figure out FOR SURE if PP bonuses apply to ranged combat, I will feel better.

Ronin84

I have a player who wants to play the advance AI robot, which is cool, I will boost his budget and reduce the cost of the fusion plants, but he also asked for a healing factor.... I don't think he is being a munchkin, I can see the whole alien robotic nanite thing...what I was curious about was cost...

Ronin84

How do I know if I have the most current edition of the HU rules...

On the inside it says Heroes Unlimited Revised Second Edition...first printing 1998.

Has there been something else since then, other than print runs?

Ronin84

I believe that my old BTS is now gone, I did look for it before I went and bought NB. In fact all of my NB stuff was gone as well, my RIFTS and Heroes stuff is all good, so I must have done a cleansing for an auction at my FLGS some time back. That's ok I don't mind, supporting my FLGS is something ...

Ronin84

I went out and got a copy of Nightbane, remembering there was a sorceror and shaman in there that I will use for my arcanist...

Ronin84

I really enjoyed BTS a long time ago, but don't have access to my book. I came into a bit of a windfall and decided to buy the new book. Saw the xp table for the arcanist and got excited, I remembered how much fun that was...only to find out that a second book was needed. Alas that book is not out a...
