Short answer? Vs a Death Bringer? "Die Alot" it's not nearly as bad as a DHT, but still. Magic has pitiful range. It just does. Alot of the alternatives proposed wouldn't work very well. "Flying up infront of the transport and boarding it" Really? What type of stupid pilot is ju...

The title. My players have a Coalition Death Bringer, with a 6000ft range cannon. What are the anti techies supposed to do? Send dragons? They destroyed a village and everybody in it, except for what witness. Any ideas?

We can all agree that 10 MDC is more than say, 50 HP, right? Just saying.

So a Psi-Tech in an EVA suit? Telemechanic Posession, open all doors and all airlocks, disable gravity, etc...

J_Danger

Even if you had an MDC spine? I would imagine that's the reason why you wouldn't allow anything but the full conversion human, but this guy has a frame that supports a supernatural strength of 35 at max roll. I'm just making a tool arm that could be used to breach spaceships (given enough time), but...

I'm trying to make a Brodkil character and I noticed the bonuses they list and also noticed boxing and wrestling as part of the RCC's skills. Do I add the bonuses to these skills? Or are they already factored in? And any tips on the amount of cybernetics I could get on the guy? Do they get Russian S...

I'd want a Core rulebook, which covers conversions from old book nonsense in addition to clarifying the rules. Book of Magic 2 would be nice, where they scoop up all the bizarro magics from other books and even other book lines (fleshsculpting, etc...)

And the Rifts: World Atlas. I'd pay for that.

In the Juicer WB, there is something called a FIWS, which is a gauntlet with 3D6 vibroclaws and a particle beam cannon. Don't remember if there's a penalty for non juicers or a strength requirement though.

I really am not wanting another equipment book. We had triax 2 and naruni 2 already. Triax at least had some story to it, but it was 80% equipment and new mech designs. And a laser with kick... Looking at my Winter 2012-13 Catalog, I want the upcoming titles from there: Splicers sourceboks, Sourcebo...

Our GM introduced us to the horseman by defending a town while Pestilence attacked it.

Our epic team that lasted over 9 years in an ongoing campaign was as follows: Atlantean Undead Slayer Juicer Cyber Knight Mind Melter Robot Pilot with Kittani Raptor power armor and an Unskilled Vagabond, no super powers, and using RMB so not even candy (we did give him eyeball a fella when it came ...

Our group never played that undead slayers received supernatural strength, because the book never went out and said they got it. The only thing that would make me even slightly think it was possible was the part that says undead slayers are considered to be supernatural beings.

I had my Heroes Unlimited players get rifted in, it's fun to see their roles in combat switch a little. Also the discovery of hyperviolent deaths from MD weapons was a shock. One PC has MDC skin, but there's no way his character is going to try to figure that out, so he's super scared of stuff.

Page 5 of this thread is totally about South America 2. Definitely not about measuring philosophical wiener sizes.

This is seriously an odd debate though. Mechanically I imagine you guys play it pretty similar, lol.

J_Danger

I think the hilarity of the rules is great in Rifts. The rules all make sense from some perspective, it's just that when there's so many different perspectives over 20+ years and nobody bothered to fact check the other perspectives, it gets sorta wonky. Use the rules as written and fudge the occasio...

The armor debate (cat fight?) was funny. It looks like some people want to stand and deliver in combat as a mage, as opposed to.... you know, use magic to get around the physics of this world to solve problems. Shadowmeld and trance gets a free set of armor. (order him to take it off, it's a simple ...

Thanks! Although I don't even remember why I wanted their stats now...

I was looking for the write-up for the nodosaur and the two other dinosaurs that were in the "nodosaur" family. They each were slightly different and had different temperaments and strengths.

My Juicer always wanted a FIWS, he recovered a flattened one from a Coalition Juicer the team killed in Tolkeen, but was never able to convince his Naruni Rep "friend" to acquire one for him. (My Juicer had a 7 IQ and I played him as such, the Naruni Rep was also on the town council and di...

J_Danger

Yeah, two different situations there entirely. The max friends we generally got up to gaming with was about 10 total - I live in a small town... The FLGS is more along the lines of MtG and Warhammer most of the time, but they do carry RPG content and we were running games as much to help the store ...

J_Danger

It might actually be in the VK revised edition, which I have temporarily swapped out for the original with a friend, thus causing my frustration.

I recently got my brother in on our Rifts game, he's a big gamer, WoW and Mass Effect being in his top few games. The thing that Rifts, and all table top games offer that even games on that epic of a scale, is no sandbox wall. If you start a phase world game and there's a plot going and instead your...

Silly thing to start a post over, but can anybody help me find the stated out nodosaur? I remember seeing them somewhere and can't seem to find the right book. This has, for some reason, occupied about 3 hours of my time now... thanks Try vampire kingdoms page 148 "pokey" I do remember po...

So I wanna combine these two things, as it says in the Sea Titan description that they can be master psionics. Which skillset do I use? What's my ISP? Or is the sea titan listing an ISP bonus ? I just love the idea of an sdc master psionic class, but don't wanna be too squishy. Maybe the character's...

since we're talkin about rifter 19 anyways, what do you guys think about the blaster's spontaneous detonation power? It doesnt list anything about a dodge in the description, and normally I'd just take that for granted, but it's a friggin explosion that just happens in midair without any warning. Is...

Mr. Fusion!

that explains it!

Is there a place where there are rules for creating non-magical MDC leather armor with this skill? I figure with knives capable of dishing out MD and the creature's own tendons and the such as thread, this would be possible. I'm just looking for stats and maybe even an ingredient list. Some Rifter R...

All sounds good to me, except the 10 ISP already grands MDC ice (20MDC/lvl) which is why I thought it was strange that they said ice manacles were 30 SDC. (same as HU2, so I figured it was a copy/paste typo) But yea I'm comfy with 10 ISP each, makes you only use it when you need it, instead of icing...

Hey I was looking up the Freezer OCC and it says you can get a lot of ideas from HU for the ice powers. Any thoughts on ideas for how much it would cost to do a couple things? (cost as in ISP of course, but also # of actions) 1) Create Ice Ground 2) Encase person/weapon/thing in ice 3) Parry with ic...

Q: How much would a cubic foot of block ice weigh?

A: 57.41 lbs. Ice is 92% the density of water and water weighs 62.4 lbs per cubic foot.

Also, one cubic foot of water is 7.48 US gallons.

Psi-Goblin.... named Niby

I always envisioned them as angry little bastards that screamed short broken sentences.

"NIBY CATCH YOU! YOU NO RUN FROM NIBY!" ::teleport & fly & such::

And a Cosmo-Knight in a loincloth would be pretty funny in phase world.

I've always wanted to play a psychic character. I have a native american Freezer rolled up that I'm dying to use. The character shuns technology and I'm hoping the GM lets me bump up the fetishes a lot since we're in Rifts Africa right now and the shot of me getting an upgrade is extremely low. Rule...
