Yes, the stickied thread Comprehansive List. It hasn't been updated in a while though.

Stone Gargoyle

An Immortal Godling already has the Mega-Hero healing ability of Immortal, which is far superior to that of a fallen godling, so I am not understanding why you would need any more than that.

Stone Gargoyle

Given the lack of specifics in the description itself, it would seem to allow for the option of being able to cast spells as suggested. HOWEVER, if we look at the sister power of "Mask I.S.P. & Psionics" (pg174 in RUE) which states that power when active you can not use psionic abilit...

The Pilot Robot skill from the Aliens Unlimited Galaxy Guide is helpful and is free to those who choose the piloted robot/power armor option which is covered in the Heroes Unlimited 2nd Edition main book.

Stone Gargoyle

I'm here but don't post lot these days. I don't use Discord and prefer to game in person.

Stone Gargoyle

I think Yin Sloth Jungle 2E is still to new to be available in PDF yet.

Stone Gargoyle

If you changed the characters and their powers it would no longer be Justice Machine. If you just want a new sourcebook, that is understandable, but it wouldn't be Justice Machine at that point.

Stone Gargoyle

The characters and trademarks would have to enter the public domain to allow them to be used.

Stone Gargoyle

No, there are different ones available now. The ones I wanted had a running superhero on them. The ones available now just have the Heroes Unlimited logo. I imagine they must have had problems with the permissions needed to use that art, but it was never announced. I will probably still get the Hero...

Stone Gargoyle

A while back the weekly update said you would be releasing t-shirt and cups with art on them I liked and really want to buy. But in the more recent weekly updates, no mention has been made of them. Will the cups and t-shirt still be coming out? I am really wanting to buy some of them.

Stone Gargoyle

It varies with the OCC depending on how many total skills are granted. If they have a ton of Secondary Skills, I see no problem having them burn some for prerequisites.

Stone Gargoyle

The GM Guide says only one type is selected, and they do not stack. If you want the higher strength, simply take Supernatural PS and be done with it. I have never encuntered a situation where a character needed to be more powerful than that.

Stone Gargoyle

Yes, that is why the bonus is listed as part of the Bonuses In Flight.

Stone Gargoyle

It's pretty much up to each GM to decide what powers work for their flavor of game. What is "realistic" is pretty subjective based on perception of how the world works.

Stone Gargoyle

It's 1d4 abilities from each category. If it was 1d4 total abilities, it would be weaker than the lesser option listed directly before it. You still might roll a total of 3 (1 each category) if you are actually rolling in a random fashion as the book suggests. You would have 3 to 12 abilities, 1 to ...

Stone Gargoyle

No. Reverse engineering is just using exisiting skills to analyze something. You can't just have one skill to replace dozens of others. That's not how it works.

Stone Gargoyle

Mind bond doesn't grant psychic powers or magic spells. No, just no.

Stone Gargoyle

Under the psionic ability, you have no way of accessing the magic abilities of the demon, which is why it is complicated. You let the GM sort it out. As a GM, my question was about the differences between the psionic ability and the Transferral/Possession superability. The superability seems to give...

Stone Gargoyle

Thanks. It works now. I actually think it is better than the search function on the previous version of the Forums.

Stone Gargoyle

My understanding of possession is that in the psionic version the invading entity retains their psionic abilities, mind and memories and cannot access those of the possessed person, whereas in the superability it is only the invading person's memories and personality that goes into the possessed ind...

Stone Gargoyle

Small implants don't affect psionics. It's only when you get into replacing whole limbs and such that it becomes an issue.

Stone Gargoyle

You should start a new topic to discuss this since you are basing it off of your own house rules and not the existing rules.

Stone Gargoyle

The frame size issue is one of the things that needs to be addressed if they ever come out with a Hardware and/or Robotics Unlimited book. The Robotics category is one area they need to rework.

Stone Gargoyle

According to my source, HU2, Mentally Possess Others (page 312) does not grant the possessing individual and of the possessed person's knowledge, which I assume also means psionic abilities. Only the physical body is controlled, like a robot, and the controlling psychic uses their own mind and psych...

Stone Gargoyle

Given that saving throws do not require an action and are not considered a psychic ability, I would say of course the psychic using Omni-Sight would be able to save vs. possession. Why wouldn't they? If the saving throw failed, the Omni-Sight would not be able to be used by the possessing individual...

Stone Gargoyle

Why ask your question if you are just going to ignore the rules as written? Because that is what you are doing by posting how you would make your house rules. The abilities as written are meant to limit how they are used.

Stone Gargoyle

OCCs replace skill programs, not Categories which determine powers and abilties. And as Drew said, that is for Rifts primarily. I play HU2, not Rifts, so including OCCs as part of skill program selection is not smethng I do. To NMI's point, this conversation should end here because it doesn't addres...

Stone Gargoyle

Has anyone updated the Justice Machine sourcebook characters to Second Edition?

Stone Gargoyle

I personally didn't care for the Special Trainng Categry Updates by Matt Reeves. They were needlessly complicated and added aspects that pretty much dictate how to play your character rather than adding anythng useful.

Stone Gargoyle

Some people make anything that pierces internal organs, like a stab wound, go direct to Hit Points on a called shot/strike. The idea that you can stab someone and not have them bleed out is also absurd. I always make players make a saving throw when they are stabbed and blood loss continues to cause...

Stone Gargoyle

We haven't even discussed when damage goes directly to Hit Points and Penetration Value.

Stone Gargoyle

No, Natural 1s and Natural 20s aren't anything in Palladium's rules. Umm... not sure what game you play, but I play mostly Rifts and... Miss: A roll of 1-4 to strike (after bonuses) is always a miss. A roll of one always misses regardless of bonuses. ... Natural Twenty: This is the result of 20 (be...

Stone Gargoyle

No, Natural 1s and Natural 20s aren't anything in Palladium's rules.

Stone Gargoyle

They really need to make trauma tables lke the ones in the Compendium of Contemporary Weapons, only for stab wounds and such. You shouldn't be able to shrug off damage once it starts going to Hit Points.

Stone Gargoyle

There is always a margin of error. Slitting someone's throat is fairly easy but you might not press hard enough, or you may miss the artery. Swinging a blade, the blade could slip ouf of your hands or you could turn wrong and miss the target. The difficulty may not be too high in those instances but...

Stone Gargoyle

I think in a single one-shot session I had 8 people. My regular group is usually no more than 4 though.

Stone Gargoyle

I like the Gestalt power category. It allows you a lot of options.

Stone Gargoyle

As a GM, I would use the damage bonuses based on speed for any category capable of reaching those speeds.

Stone Gargoyle

I would say any regeneration based on immortality is always on, but that is just my opinion.

Stone Gargoyle

I think it depends on how the item is enchanted. Magical jewels can be transfered to a new item relatively easily. If the entire item is enchanted, I imagine fixing it would be more complicated. Sharpening an enchanted blade might affect the magical bonuses, for instance.

Stone Gargoyle

Peppermint and pumpkin spice?

Stone Gargoyle

You need to make Strawberry, Butterscotch, Licorice, Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate.

Stone Gargoyle

What other creatures can be made into armor? Are there any creatures you would like to have pieces of to make things out of, and do you offer work to adventurers who can bring you said items?

Stone Gargoyle

It's a weapon, not a tool. I would say that the shape has to be selected when creating the character and limiit it to a small number of other shapes if the power allows for that. That is just my opinion and how I would rule on it as a GM, I am not stating this as a hard and fast rule from the source...

Stone Gargoyle

My question would be if size and density of an object would be affected. Does reducing the mass make it easier to break or make it brittle. I realize the writer probably knows nothing of physics and I am just complicating the spell even more, but it would be nice to include those bits of information.

Stone Gargoyle

You actually did Nimmy's suggestion!

Stone Gargoyle

Mantis is a great character. I would have her antennae coming out of her forehead/frontal lobes rather than her temples (which would be the sides of her head), but that is an asthetic factor and really unimportant.

Stone Gargoyle

What would a shirt of dragon scale armor cost then? Do you give deals on various pieces of armor? Or are you unable to make the armor and just sell the scales?

Stone Gargoyle

I'm loving Tombspell. I am curious to see the other members of the group.

Stone Gargoyle

The power in VU is Dimensional Room, which is also is a power listed in PU1 page 70. It has a door to it but is not the same as Portals in that it does not create a second exit pont. It is unrelated to the power I was commenting on. I did, however, find the Doorway power in PU1. The Doorway power do...
