@Blue_Lion: Without the definition of a successful sneak attack from 347, your interpretation falls on its face. A successful attack that didn't succeed? However, if your assumption pleases you, assume it, but it remains an incorrect assumption. My interpitaton of what they talking about turned out...

Based on the definition of horse power I would say between 275 and 550 pounds. m Horsepower is defined as the power that a horse gives when pulling, and it is used informally to mean power, or is the power needed to raise 550 pounds a distance of one foot in one second or the power needed to move 33...

Guide line not rules, they are called a guideline they are to help you create items but are a guide not a set in stone set of rules as by the guide all affects are up to the GM. ***What is below is my opinion**** As to creating a bright TW light source do not forget the tech involved. You could use ...

Wait Killer cyborg are you asking why cannon not matching what he was told by the writer is a bad thing? Because a statement that the writer said something is hearsay, and not something we can use as a source for how things work. Now if the hearsay(what kevin said) is how things are suppose to be th...

It is hard to nail down most release dates as they are not part of most stats.

I would rule that while simple weapons is made with magic the damage it inflicts is not magic based and it would not damage a vampire. Just because a weapon is summoned with magic does not make it a magic weapon.

The laser swords is a bit of a odd weapon. In general a weapon that only works with in arms reach and can not be used to parry is not very effective. Given that pistols can be used at the same range and further it is really more of a nitch weapon. It is sold because it is cool not because it is supe...

Remember the spell chain stuff is just a guideline all TW is fully under the "GM discretion" claws. Any time you want to build any TW item work with your GM even the examples of it in RUE, it only works if the GM says so and how it works is up the GM.

Lets see most liked charters. Ninja TW I use to play in the chat rooms left over from one of mad man mikes play by post games that died. Used a bow with a wide variety of arrows both tech and TW. He also had a TW fire sword and TW ice Sword. He had arrow for almost every situation. COA arrows, teat...

I think part of the problem is they have more ideas and worlds then they have staff for. Some of the setting are long over do for a new book. They try to work on the main cash line because they need to go with what sells. But even these are often late.

and 'by canon' the jungle elf is an RCC, except that it can very clearly also choose from a long list of OCCs. likewise for many other "RCC"s. RUE very clearly states that the term was not applied consistently in the past. and for all intents and purposes, when you become a cosmo-knight, ...

Think of cosmo knights as paladins distilled to their most powerful/awesome conclusion. They are normal beings human or otherwise who when asked by the cosmic forge if they will stand for truth/justice and all around being awesome they say yes. Just as priests and paladins and shaman get powers fro...

Sorry I do not see that spell in RUE or RMB so where is it from and what makes you think it is common. No one said where the spell was from so little confused but from what people have posted so far it seams.

BlueLion

i dunno. if you read the description in RUE of what an RCC is supposed to be, the cosmo-knight fits very well. it isn't something you're trained in, it's something that when you're transformed into, you instinctively have those skills. you never really *learned* the skills, they are simply a part o...

Enlightened Immortal. You are still human, have extremely powerful innate magical and chi abilities, can create lots of copies of yourself, and even if you die you are garenteed to come back as powerful as you used to be in 20 years.

Funny thing the pacific northwest is about the only part of the west coast that has any lore from world books actually written. Canada/spirit west have the most information about it although a lot of it is more centered on BC but that area and seattle sort of flow together. I actually think lemuria...

There have been attempts to convert Chi to one of the other forms Psionic energy found in Rifts. Both rifts Japan and China tried this. However if you using a charter based off ninjas and superspies this does not hold up. It boils down to how it works in combat and its nature. ISP-This does not work...

why not steal a move from fallout and do Rifts Las Vegas. ) Las Vegas is covered in Rifts Black Market; it's a Black Market 'free zone' for caravans and trading, though the ruins themselves are heavily haunted.

There is not much cannon for the west coast. The writers mostly focus on the area they know. There is lots of potential to draw on, but most people not from the north west are not likely to know the are and the local lore.

3e/3.5e was possible to do much worse.

In my gaming experience balance in a RPG is a myth. The only way to have a perfectly balance is for every one to be exactly the same. I have never seen a group fall apart because one player is so powerful he over bears the rest the group. (If that ever happens we get a good laugh when he gets his ju...

Truth is I would like to see a Lazlo/new Lazlo source book before they decide to have the CS utterly crush them. (yes I know there is optional material in a Rifter for Lazlo)

What are the rules for multiclassing? Depends on which setting you are talking about. Rifts has no published canon genralized changing class rules, but there are some optional ones posted on the cutting room floor. And the closest the published canon says about this is to use the PFRPG rules in the...

The charters I have done that where deployment charters. We worked day on day off and on our off days we played for 10-12 hours. So when you play like that and only play when charter for a year it can be done.

Actually you gave a reason in your own story you are just to close to see it. You did not say you left him because he betrayed you, you left him because you do not like being one upped.

I'm pretty sure Roll with Punch, Fall, or Impact costs an action -- 16 or better on a 1d20 For the most part yes, although in N&SS it doesn't mention requiring one and the combat example which has someone do it doesn't show them missing their next turn doing this after a failed parry, like with...

OK quite simply what you are describing would not fly in any game I have seen. Simply put you would quickly be shut down either by the players or the GM, some one would kill you. your experiences are certainly your own.

You hide the egg inside a magical statue, if they know enough about magic items to know a rune item can have an intelligence, then they will assume the life force they sense inside is due to this.?.

as of RUE, the Psi-Stalker are a human sub-race of people mutated by the energies of the coming of the rifts that breeds true with itself. As such they are race unto themselves.

That honestly makes even less sense. If stuff is that locked down than it is not being used and not a threat to anybody. Yeah; I said most of these guys were in training, save for the paid mercs (who were doing paid work). The only people I needed to threaten to keep in-line were other PCs. When it...

By the way Dog Roll with impact Does not take action. PG 346 Roll with impact does not state that it requires a action.

I do not see anything in the rules that would make me think you can draw actions for any action costing thing other than to dodge. The dodge is a special exemption to help keep people alive.
