eliakon....You are my hero!! You've no idea how frustrating it is to remember seeing something and then not being able to find it in the books. And others looking at you like you've lost your mind when you bring it up. Thank you so much!!!

Temporalmage

I can't remember where I've seen the Giant Amazon Spider. I don't remember if it was a Rifter or some other book. Anyone have any idea???

Temporalmage

I know that TK can't be used on yourself...but it can be used on objects. Questions: Can you use TK on an object and then "ride" said object; IE: a broom, rug, surfboard, etc using TK?? If the above is possible; what is the max speed and altitude you could achieve?? If the above is not pos...

Temporalmage

thank you

Temporalmage

Perez artwork often shows a little d-bee salesman guy. Eventually they came out with stats for that little alien D-bee. Which book or rifter is it in??? Can't seem to find it.

Temporalmage

I don't like you anymore!

Temporalmage

anyone have ideas on what exactly the Avatron sky vehicles look like? What do you describe in your games, or do you have a pic that you use?

Even as written Nixla is bad news. CS scout patrol finds Nixla, Nixla sends out it's soul sucking tendrals and turns them into it's minions. Patrol never returns. CS sends a larger force to find the lost patrol, Nixla sends out more tendrals and turns all of the larger force into it's minions. Up to...

A mage will always be the best sniper because nobody else could ever possibly match the mobility/escapability of one. You don't even have to use a spell because a mage can with a little training use any weapon a man of arms can. But why would you even bother. TP:Lesser cost virtually nothing and ca...

You could extrapolate from the Galapagos Robot in South America also. That thing is HUGE!!!

Either way, this matter should be resolved by the next issue of the Rifter. One of the articles is entitled Everything you ever wanted to know about Mystic Knights. Thats nice. But most of the stuff in the Rifters are optional, and not cannon material. So unless the article states it's "Errata...

Temporalmage

As of this time there is nothing in any of the books that state that the Mystic Knights impervious to energy abilities extend to anything other that thier bodies. White Rose knights or other. If memory serves, White Rose knights are not the only ones that can utilize War Birds for mounts. So that ar...

Temporalmage

Not sure where the original idea came from but I can see the CS having a very limited ammount of Force Fields. Either purchased from thier allies the NGR, who have the technology already; or captured force fields from Naruni. Force field technology is probably out of reach of the CS scientists at th...

Temporalmage

Perhaps after the abyssal failure of skelebots in the Tolkeen war, the CS will have a few of them reprogrammed. Look at the Hunter skelebot, which has more skills than average, and is used to deliver messages. I've used them in campaigns running around Chi-Town itself, similar to robots in the star ...

Actually, it's stated the splurgorth do nither. They simply ENSLAVE them, and force them to work in their "runic factories" that churn out aforementioned "generic" rune weapons Atlantis, pg 127, under " GM Note ": The secrets of rune magic should never be learned by an...

It's not the damage, it's the fact that the item comes from across the globe. Durring the Tolkeen war the Tolkenites scoured the Megaverse looking for weapons and allies to help against the CS. Seems that if they looked all over the Megaverse they could have easily found somthing as close as South ...

Still would like to see it in writing, if only to end the debate for good You should keep checking on the Psionics and Magic forum. I believe he means in canon. Yeah...

Who said anything about them riding the warbirds naked? They obviously have to use a saddle, as it says in the TW storm lance description. So why wouldn't the war bird saddle be insulated from thier natural energy? As for being a "negative peddler", I've never stated that any ability shou...

Temporalmage

... Perhaps what your forgetting is that any race that can have psionics and magic can be a Mystic Knight. Many such races are MDC. Gee, an MDC creature as a mystic knight could almost take on the CS with impunity now couldn't they?? So who said the power was usless??? Sure as heck wasn't me. I've ...

Or hell, impervious to energy in general!

Niether applies to armor. For a full referance refer to the topic being discussed in the Psionic & Magic forum.

Temporalmage

It effects armour, just like the Mystic Knight immunity and the Burster immunity. If you look at an ability with two possible interpretations, but one of them makes it useless, why choose that one? since when has the mystic knight immunity affect armor Since the author of Madhaven said so? Yeah, si...

Why only baby food? The biggest, most invasive borgs in the books state that the only thing left from the original body is the brain and the tounge. This means that they can taste, and their new organs would be better than the original ones, not worse. If I was an 8ft tall heavily armored guy that b...

I don't want more power, I want flavor. I'd be happy if it made sense! "I know our order goes out and slays demons, vampires, and monsters from the Rifts. I know that our Leader, Lord Coake, the first true Cyber Knight is from the world of Palladium, where technology does not exist. But Lord C...

Temporalmage

By the way; I said no as the Cyber Knight is the only class I know that states it can summon two psi-swords at the same time. But I'm allowing that psi-knives may be differant and am wondering everyone elses opinion.

Temporalmage

I have a problem with the cyber knights. According to the books Cyber knights can sense an opponent even when the opponent is only using a vibro-sword. Excuse me? We're talking about a cyber knight here, not a psi-tech. How the heck is a CK going to get bonuses against anyone simply because they ar...

A psi slayer can have a psi-knife.

Can they have two at the same time? Please explain your answer

Temporalmage

In what areas? To be honest Free Quebec is already more advanced than the CS in Glitterboy Tech, and quite possibly bionics and juicers as they've been using them for far longer. In the areas of robots, power armor, and combat vehicles the CS dominates. As for genetics the CS is the king. Taking som...

I think it's irrelevant on weither the engines are md or sdc. Take a modern car engine and pellet guns. The pellets can't really hurt the engine block, but a few hits in the wrong spot could spell serious trouble to some of the parts such as the computer chip. In older cars a pellet to the carburato...

Did you notice the "?" in my question?

No reason to get touchy bud!

Temporalmage

would you allow a separate or integrated tattoo in tattoo magic that makes silver arrows or arrows of a particular material like wood or cold Iron....... No. It says specifically all tattoos are made from Ectoplasem, which kind of rules out an actual substance. ??? But you can create wood arrows......

All this talk about water is fine and all, but we're talking about explosives here. Physics say that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. The action in this case is one pound of c-4 blowing up, flinging md ball bearings with 2D4X10+20 md worth of force. How far would they go? An...

Temporalmage

Take 1 pound of Northern Gun type 6 md plastique explosive (Does 2D6X10+20 md to 10 ft), and wrap 2 pounds of md ball bearings around it. Then set it off.

How much damage do you think that would do and to how large an area?

HYPOTHETICAL: In high wind you may have a problem with debris and heavy dust blowing, causeing you to miss your shot. Even the UE Rifts book talks about the shot stoping as soon as they hit somthing, (hence no blow through). Heavy condensation such as rain or snow may cause a miss at long ranges due...

Wouldn't have worked in a cave of stalagtites and stalagmites. Besides, as far as I know radar only picks up flying stuff.

Did you know that power armor and robots don't automatically have any optical enhancments unless it states such under that specific armor or robot?

I've always questioned the idea of prisons, as we understand them, in the world of Rifts. Given what a waste of manpower and resources a prison is, I would imagine that nothing resembling a modern day penal system would exists in Rifts Earth, even in the Coalition. I imagine that fines, forced labo...

CS prisons are mentioned under the "Coalition Law" section of WB 11, pg 28. Found it- Thanks! I'll assume a City Rat who was busted on carrying a weapon with out a permit does his time and can go back to his life? Not really able to "get back to his life"; the CS will constantly...
