Hey guys question: If a hero with APS Energy also has Energy Conversion can then convert their APS Energy into lets say APS Fire, or light? I know that while converting they have to use one of their attacks per melee round to keep it going normally, but could they convert their own APS Energy into ...

I went looking with search, and found a few things about this power from PU3, but still not sure on one part.. When you adapt to the first attack, it doesn't seem to say outright whether that first attack actually does damage or not. Do you adjust to an attack before you get hit with that first atta...

and thank you.

Good point. The only reason I was trying to make it more complicated was so that the running speed (such as sonic speed) could be used while in the air. But I think you've convinced me to keep it simple. It is for an NPC, so it doesn't matter as much anyway. Just, when I make something for NPCs, I l...

I did a couple of Major powers with the ability to walk on air. m m Thanks. Not quite what I'm looking for, as I'd like to be able to change elevation and move at top speeds, but might give me a place to start. I'm thinking running through air as if there is a ramp under them where ever they go tha...

Yukon

Or even as a minor power, since the Density walking power is anemic anyway..(IMO)

Yukon

I have looked on NMI's Black Vault, but not knowing what it might be called, it's hard to tell... And the powers thread is a beast to look through. search is only useful when you know what you are looking for. Does anyone know if a Major version of the Density Walking power has been made? I want a s...

As an option, what if robotic frame AR was treated as a halfway point? If the attack misses the frame (over AR) and hits the person, damage gets subtracted from SDC and HP. If rolled under the AR, the frame is hit, and no damage is dealt to either. Not sure how I feel about this myself, but just thr...

So, even in HU, ley lines have an effect on things.
There's not really any guide that I remember seeing on whether there is a ley line or nexus in one place or another..
Are there any Palladium books either in BtS, Rifts, etc that has a map of major ley lines in the world or at least North America?

Yukon

As they said, I agree. Your assumption is correct. On the note of the Dragon Immortal, I am annoyed that it says to limit the number of powers, since they get so much already. Then the Demigod and Godling says to add more powers, cause they need two mega powers or one mega and another major power. I...

Yukon

Maybe instead of an attack roll, treat it as a saving throw. Set a target number you think is fair (12-15?), plus ME bonus or have it go up with levels. The opponent could maybe add PP bonus to saving throw.

What's in Rifter 77?

Yukon

No, really. What do you mean by MOS?
Method of Skill?
Modus Operandi Singing?
I do not knooow.

Yukon

For the heck of it, I'll mention the way I handle it. I always thought the reason they said Invulnerability gave +240 is instead of +50% for the SDC from that power, just add 240 SDC just to reflect the fact that the power is more than a few extra SDC. It has a more broad effect on taking (or not) d...

Yukon

I agree with most everyone. My first thought was no. But, then reading on, it made sense that using parts or DNA or whatever from magical creatures to give access to a handful of spells or magic abilities. The numbers for ISP from the psionic options might not be bad to use as a point for point base...

Yukon

That's how I do it. All robots I treat the same as "Natural Armor".

Yukon

Yeah, my players were not enthused about the magic system, but I do have one that uses a mystic study character and I would like to give him some more choices, as well as my couple NPC's. Especially the mentor and others in the organization. I am hoping that with more spell choices, it will open up ...

I have a player that made an Immortal Avatar of Santa Claus with toy control and enlarge item so he can use them together and control huge toys. I know they probably aren't supposed to be used like that, but I liked the character concept so much I allowed it. He once controlled a Tonka truck and enl...

Yukon

Thank you all for the replies. I was looking for one book I could buy at least to start with. Thanks, I thought Rifts Book of Magic might be best, but was not sure if other books may have close to the same amount or be a better choice for another reason. I am still open to ideas or suggestions, sinc...

Been a while since I have posted here, though I have been lurking occasionally the last 6 months to a year. Anyway, I have been running a regular Heroes Unlimited game with my son and some of his friends for a while now. I picked up a few new books here and there. As Heroes Unlimited releases are sl...

I'm describing this poorly, so allow me to borrow from the description I read once in the book "A Wrinkle in Time". Picture two foot a piece of rope held taut between a person's hands, with an ant on one wanting to travel across to the other. The ant could travel across the rope, and it w...

Yes. It's easy. They turn into a bigger monster that's more powerful.

Not sure what you thought the problem would be?

yeah, two different forms, one more powerful. sounds good to me.

Yukon

i like to painstakingly tailor make each of my characters. random rolls could be fun too i guess, but i've played rarely enough that i like to make the perfect character for each game.

Yukon

i made a character that can increase his density. i just gave him growth and took away the size increase.

i've always wanted to order a grab bag, but never had the cash. maybe this year with a new employer finding me clients, i'll be able to. then again, i havent actually played a rp game in years, so it might not be worth it to me anyway...

Just to clarify, If your opponet went supernova and you had APS:Fire, would their supernova harm the defender? Is the defender impervious to explosions? No? Then yes the supernova will do damage to them. what!! at best it is a fire blast (ok so possibly some impact due to massive heat expansion) at...

Yukon

and in case you're thinking that autododge means it automatically succeeds, it doesn't. it just automatically happens so does not use an attack to perform.

sounds like someone just did buy it. i've got it and its not bad.

no reason you can't use the HU system to run that anime if you wanted, or any other intellectuall property like DC or Marvel. the catch is, you aren't allowed to post conversions of the characters on the internet, especially these palladium owned message boards. but, if you prefer the HU system, you...

Well it wouldn’t be the actual gargantuan size. At the very most for size, twice the size of the summoner will do. (Besides, who wouldn’t want a pet tornado?) Control Elemental Force Air basically allows you to create tornadoes. Creating one that is self-aware might be interesting. Spiral makes tor...

really, unless something is specifically stated as being able to hurt an invulnerable character or under the invulnerability power as being able to, then it doesn't.

without looking at the text myself, i think it means you can use the optional mega hero rules with the natural genius. i can't see him getting supernatural strength either, so maybe giving him a minor power instead would be appropriate. i could definitely see a natural genius with the mega powers of...
