Doesn't gold got for 1000cr an ounce in Rifts?

Yes, perfect. That's what I was looking for. [Transfers 5 merit points]

So I skimmed past the Mystic or Magic Beacon spell and now I can't find it. Can someone help me with a book reference please.

In the time it takes an adult dragon to gain three levels, he or she could fund an orphanage, send the smart kids to medical school and raise his own surgeon.

As a player, I'm usually pretty frugal with my I.S.P. & P.P.E. I know someone has written that spell-lobbers prefer magic first, but I like to save it for problems that can't be solved with a fresh e-clip. I also wear a belt, rather than cast Manipulate Objects, but that's just me.

Khanibal

It's magic.

That being said I think you can argue Dexter is Principled (or Scrupulous, if following "the law of the land" is necessary for principled). The ends never justify the means for him. He must follow his code, which includes a process more thorough than the criminal justice system, no matter...

I guess the second part of my answer lies in the Demigod description. A Demigod gets 4D6 P.P.E. and I.S.P. just for breathing. If he takes Body Fixer as an O.C.C. then takes all healing and 5 super powers, he only gets those 4D6. The same problem erupts if he takes the same O.C.C. and Fleshsculpter ...

Khanibal

Of those who have asserted that if a Godling or Demigod takes a Magic-Using class (say Shifter), he/she/it then gets the Shifter's beginning spells, as it is a class ability. Do you also include #10 (save/spell strength/etc. bonuses) and #11 (starting & /lvl P.P.E.)? If the Godling is a spell-lo...

Just not supernatural, also the whole, 'Will he get caught?', bit got old for me pretty fast.

Rifts stopped being local when the Shifter class was added. It's a poop-ton easier to downgrade Phase World or convert AU & AU:GG than convert from another system. MiO reads like a 1/2 @$$ed AtB supplement with some Rifts stuff tossed in. Take the sociopolitical stuff and work from there.

Yah, if the creature is A). Supernatural and B) miscreant, diabolical, or aberrant aligned, then it's C) Supernatural Evil. Of course if you're a peach of a fellow who is willing to mug a drug dealer, technically you're aberrant. As a GN I'd actually call you unprincipled. On the other hand if you h...

... General Actions can be used as either. Thought i made that clear. If not, that should clear it up. Generally speaking (and the numbers are still rough) if you have 4 H2H attacks now, youll probably have two offensive and two general, AND a single defensive action (or maybe 2 for the more defens...

It beggars the question of why they are playing space merc contractors - and sucking at it - instead of leaving a far bigger foot(pseudopod-)print in many parts of the Megaverse, honestly.

Willy Elektrix wrote:I thought boxing didn't add extra attacks in ranged combat. Have I been wrong all this time?

You expend melee attacks to make ranged attacks. See p. 361 RUE. Also the current rule is spell invocations levels 1-5 take one melee attack, 6-10 take two, 11-15 take three.

Uh, 288 troops for 2-weeks. What kind of waste management does it have?

Khanibal

The philosophy behind HtH and Boxing granting extra attacks isn't that it makes your hands faster. It's that it trains your mindset for combat. You become more decisive and aggressive when faced with a fight or flight situation. Do a little internet research on combat mindset for more information.

As I understand it if splicers come to rifts they are still affected by the plague but it does not spread. This is true, though I've never understood the whys and hows.

Do you not have the Ascension sourcebook for Rifts? On p. 37 it reads that you have to file a form 3384-D with the local office of divinity, before you can start receiving PPE from outside the normal range (check BoM).

Ehh doesn't the 'largest' political group in the 3G consist of humans at the head? One planet of humans isn't going to make the galaxy blink. The only way the galaxy would care is if the CS found some way to "Close" Rifts earth to "Rifts" That's the thing about using fear and co...

Also some rules in the first edition Robotech books.

Well, the CS has a plan for expansion, and I guess Houston isn't next on the list. It's on the list, just not next. Their 150 year plan includes expansion into space. They'll run afoul of Splynncryth before then. Not to mention the human supremacy won't play well with the more advanced races in the ...

Lazlo is a government, and while they are probably socialist enough to control utilities, health care, and education, they are probably also smart enough to not engage in tax-base-crushing government retail.

The way you used it does not appear to match using it as a unit of measure to me as you used singular(used as a unit of measure for air pressure is typically atmospheres plural if you have more than one).
