In regards to Pre-Rifts Juicers, would they still have the "Burn Out" effect, & die off after 7 years? With it being the Golden Age of Tech, & lots of Tech places still around after the major cataclysm, (Austin, San Antonio, are stated as being mostly undamaged, & had major Mil...

I recently started a CEC for my group, set in the state of Texas, near San Antonio. I personally love the CE series, but my biggest beef is the lack of information outside of N.E.M.A. & Chicagoland of the U.S.A. Even with pillaging the Republicans from Rifts - Sourcebook 1, there really isn't th...

WB7: the New Navy is the US Navy.

In the immortal words of Captain Jack Sparrow, "Sea Turtles, Mate." When it comes to Sea Titans as a whole, in dealing with relations outside of New Navy, the less the non-navy folks know, the better. With the smattering of different, & in some cases conflicting information in several ...

Rifts Oz?

Oz is Aussie slang for Australia.

As a loose interpretation of the rule from HU2, all PCs could drive a Motorcycle, or Car, but as a normal daily driver thing. Any special maneuvers, or high speed driving was out of the question, unless you trained in the skill.

Brayon

This wouldn't make much sense though, since the spell doesn't talk about giving special treatment to objects based on their nature, only living beings. Why would a weight limit apply to everything except for weapons or missiles? My 12 pound medicine ball is safe if I throw it at the rift, but if Ar...

Brayon

I would Home Rule it as a 10% to 30% increase in MDC per location for Larger Armors. Also, World Book 33, NG2 has the new Clothing line of MDC cloth armor, that says they would do Custom Sizing based on the individuals need. Granted, they are in an alliance with the Coalition, so YMMV if a D-Bee goe...

So all the Serfs, Vassals, Nobility, & Freemen, of Medieval Europe were Slaves, just like the bought & paid for Slaves? Because none of them had Self Determination, & were subject to the King or Church. It's fairly simple. The Splurgorth Society, is based on Feudalism. King at the top, t...

Brayon

When did they change the definition of the spell to have it doing something like that? Because it originally said it simply pulled in 'loose' atoms that it arranged into the wood fibers of the board desired, it wasn't a version of 'Create Steel' that simply recycled wood from the surroundings to ma...

I guess it would fulfill a useful role for lesbians who want to be mothers or homosexual male sea titans who want to help out. So, Reproductive services for a Segment of the Population that is less than 2%, if that. (In Real World, USA, the total population of Homosexuals is 1.8% according to CDCC ...

I'll admit to not reading every breaking News Article from Palladium, but did they go into a partnership with another company for RIFTS?

Brayon

After reading the Spell description, I'm inclined to agree with Bill. Using the exact Canon text, it uses ANY available atmospheric Dust & Particles to Create the Wood. Having a TW device that is in-essence a portable lumber mill, is icing on the cake for any entrepreneurial Wizard to make a kil...

Brayon

The problem is the Sea Titan entry was written from the high minded stand point that no Sea Titan would ever have a one night stand, walk out on their pregnant girlfriend, or not force their child into the new navy's training program. This is so true. All sorts of different scenarios of what could ...

Brayon

I would limit what powers can be selected, as they are more "always active" vrs. use P.P.E., & cast an Energy Expulsion beam of Fire. Just off the top of my head, I would disallow all the Extraordinary XXX powers, Healing Factor, Karma, Lycanthrope, & Natural Combat Ability. Otherw...

Brayon

So creating new ones no. Breeding with humans yes. Even though the occ offers master psionics, being a Sea Titan Zapper is not allowed? By default, no a Sea Titan Zapper wouldn't be allowed at creation, if they were born in the New Navy. However, there are two ways one could be. Way 1: New Navy Sea...

Brayon

So any sdc human could potentially mutate to a Sea Titan? No. Only the offspring of Sea Titans can become Sea Titans. When they are born, they are normal humans until they hit puberty. Then change to Superbeings. The powers are hereditary, and pass from Parent to children. (There's about 2000 New N...

Mind totally Blanked and effectively restarted? Stolen Sea Titan reprogrammed as well whatever. They are unaging. Perfect rebootable soldier. Depends on the G.M. I personally, wouldn't allow it, due to the Mystical Energy transformation that created their new line of species. Also, we don't even kn...

Brayon

What about starting as an sdc young Sea Titan? Based on Text alone, I would doubt it. In the New Navy Society, Sea Titans are bred for one purpose, & they all go through the same program. You would have to have one very lenient G.M. who allows a backstory that included one of the Lone World Exp...

Can I pick a different occ at level 1??

Does that qualify for the Dual Class double experience point per level penalty??

Only if you've been 1st level for 200+ years, then you can. Highly unlikely.

Before End of the Circle was axed from Canon, Praxians & Humans could breed. No details, aside that Lisa Hayes-Hunter writes at the End that Gina & Angelo, had a litter of Girls. So, guessing that all Human/Praxian pairings will result in Females only, until 2nd or 3rd generation & gene ...

First, Sparta's classic culture, illusion of invincibility, and system of government was effectively crushed by the Thebans under Epaminondas before the time of Alexander the Great. Two centuries of further decline later, Sparta itself fell to Rome. After that, Sparta was little more than a tourist...

Bionics is more fully replacing the body with Tech pieces. Typically, Brain, Face, some internals, are all that is left. Think Robocop.

Cybernetics, is mostly Limb replacements, & other little pieces of tech added to the Human body. Think Steve Austin, the $6 million dollar man.

Brayon

Well Tolkeen showed us how to handle them. Open a Dimensional Rift in their path, & let the other world deal with it.

Brayon

Biomancy armor from South America and Millennium Tree Armor from England solve this issue nicely. Another possibility is to take the sewing skill twice (i.e. become a tailor), along with leather working, and tailor your own clothes out of MDC hides. Anyone recall a book with MD-inflicting needles f...

Brayon

Based on the stated text in the book, my opinion would be: No, they wouldn't get fat. They would still look like what they were when they changed from Normal to Supernatural at puberty. Since they are basically in Military School, from Birth with other Titans, & Normals, they would be on an exe...

I noticed a RIFTER article in #42 that talked about Radio Communication for the Coalition. It's listed as Optional Material, but has an Interesting solution for Radio Repeaters using unmanned Armored Blimps with Communication Equipment mounted on it. EDIT: Page 48 specifically talks about them, as S...

So, thinking about it, how long before the orbitals start exploiting the system a bit? Transdimensional TMNT implies that the ATB version of MiO has the Empire Of Humanity on Venus, and there's already asteroid mining... but what about the outer system? IIRC, There is a Mars Colony with Mutant Inse...

Brayon

Father & Tinker, thank you both. I also, think that Radio Communication would be more prevalent than what is stated. Also, totally forgot that Radio: Basic, would include HAM Radio operation as well. So, pretty much, any Soldier, Merc, Adventurer, & Robot Pilot could, in theory, do Amateur R...

If there's one thing I cannot stand it's carbon copies of historical cultures being transplanted into fantasy and science fiction settings, so I'll be quite happy if absolutely nothing in the whole region of Laconia bears any resemblance to ancient Sparta at all. Well they would be more inspired by...

Brayon

Granted there is a wealth of information in all of the RIFTS books, but one thing I've noticed is a lack of Global Communications that really should be there in the form of Amateur/HAM Radio. Even today, HAM Radio Operators, CB Operators, Broadcaster Networks, all fill the Airwaves, in addition to S...

If Sparta is at 800' above current sea level, then it should still be above the water in 109 P.A..

In that case, Rubble, or taken over by Wolfen, or Gargoyles makes sense.

Brayon

With most of Greece under water, I think Sparta might of been destroyed. Either that, or those Wolfen who took over Rome, setup an outpost. Or one of the other 2 Canine races.

Brayon

What is "Manhunter?" Is it a supplement or something?

Brayon

How would one translate a hero with half-alien origins but raised on Earth? Like a half Atlantean ancestory... Would you address it as an Alien? As others have mentioned, by Canon rules, there are no Half-Breeds of any kind. It would be purely in the realm of the GM to Home Rule it, & to set wh...

Brayon

Not sure of any Canon rules either, on this. I've allowed it via Home Rules, with the same conditions as Bill. In area, alt sight, & spell is not one that is a directly from the mage. So, powerbolt/firebolt would be out, but Call Lightning, Carpet of Adhesion, etc.

From the Naruni Wave Two book, it says anyone caught in Coalition territory with Naruni gear, is subject to immediate death. Gear confiscated, & destroyed. If, I recall it correctly. As for detecting it, what others have said about visual detection, & sensors would be about the only ways I c...

By canon rules, I don't see the Stone Master's abilities working on a Mineral Alien. I am in agreement that they could study, & become a practitioner like other races can. It could be argued that a Diamond Mineral Alien, could do the Diamond gem powers, & sacrifice some HP to pull off the po...

In our Hero's Unlimited game, we had an NPC that could heal people by touch. Side effect, was that he had to eat to keep his metabolism up. He could also, siphon HP/S.D.C. from people, & transfer it others. Was great when you have a "Wolverine" style with a massive Healing Factor who w...

This is something I really never understood. How could there be Large Communities of Dragons, when in the description of dragons, it says they are solitary creatures, who don't get along with other Dragons?
