I am thinking of using the CS exo-skeleton armor penalty since it seems the most robust.

Good; -30% to prowl, but only -10% to swim, perform acrobatics and similar physical skills/performance, and no penalty to climb.

isawarenshi

What does the people think the penalty for prowl should be on exo-skeleton armors like NG Gladius or TR Myrmidon?

isawarenshi

Per the description of the Myrmidon it is a Exo-Skeleton. Other examples of Exo-Skeletons like the NG-Gladius expressly state in their features and systems of note the armor gets the features of EBA not PA. The Myrmidon just says "Standard, plus the following:" Does that mean the Myrmidon...

I have my thoughts but I was wondering the consensus of the community considering how heavy DNA testing is in Titan Robotics. Would a Dragon in Human form have Dragon or Human DNA if they were tested?

I know the list on RUE pg 346 but I know I have seen many others have been options and bonuses have been added with OCC/RCC's and other places. Does anyone have a list of the different saving throws that were not listed in the RUE?

isawarenshi

I'd chalk it up to yet another example of authors not thinking through their 'cool' ideas... Personally I'd ignore the VA-2 Shark Armor reference and instead just give FQ an equivalent based on their own armor designs... if it's even needed... which it probably isn't. I don't know I kind of like th...

isawarenshi

So per the Navy section of FQ has access to VA-2 shark armor which has the damage capacity of the modern Coalition armors.

What are people's opinions on this, update the QEBA-10 to the sharks damage capacity or just an oddity?

Does someone with the Leather Working skill also need the Skin and Prepare Animal Hides skill or would Leather Working allow then to also skin?

Whatdo people think about using some of the more expanded Bionics from the Bionics sourcebook in a AI robot build?

isawarenshi

I think the confusion came from the conversion from the original Rifts format to the RUE Rifts format. In the original rules once you got auto-dodge you generally just got the ability to do it using your standard dodge roll. When RUE came out they updated it so that auto-dodge was it's own stat that...

So per the RUE while the flying titan says it can do mdc melee damage it does not state in the stat block you use robot combat basic or elite. Would that mean you could use the flying titan with the pilot jet pack skill as opposed to the pilot power armor skill? Or do you think it would be possible...

So we have a player looking to pay a Faerie Bot and there are a few things I was wondering.

Do they get a hand to hand skill? And what level can they buy up to?

Should they add their PE to their starting PPE balance?

And what skills should they be getting from the Techno-wizard OCC?

mercedogre wrote:yes, Tao Jen Qiang under powers, abilities, and bonuses describe the level progression WP's

The only bonus to strike I see beyond level 1 is a +1 at level 10. Is that the only change they get for strike bonus?

isawarenshi

So not sure if I am missing something with the OCC or not but since the Gun Master out of Rifts China 2 can not take individual WP's do they get something to give them some bonuses as they level similar to how the WP would have worked?

isawarenshi

Generally, no. I tend to assume that you don't get skills just for arriving, but more for acclimating to your place. "You have been here for some time and acclimated, gaining these skills." Thanks! And I would not even question the taking time to pick them up but would you think they woul...

If someone is rifted from one part of rifts earth to another say from China to North America would they gain skills as described in the conversion book? Such as languages, literacy and other skills mentioned for coming from a high tech world.

isawarenshi

When a Malvoren merges with a cybernetic limb do they use their physical stats or the stats of the individual limb as built in the book?

isawarenshi

They are able to take robot electronics and robot mechanics and both require electrical engineering skill but it's not listed as available in their related skill choices. Is it supposed to be available or was is supposed to be included in the rcc skills?

What do you guys think of a permanent power equivalent of Rifts: Temporal Magic (Forth Dimension Transformation without the penalty since your a native 4-D being)? Would it either be a Major or a Mega-Hero ability?

Cross posting with Heroes Unlimited forum since its using both settings rules.

Thanks, that was my opinion but glad to hear it from you so not totally crazy!

What are peoples opinions of the penalties for China characters leaving china? For me it seems rather silly since while different the things in china are not that off the rest of rifts earth?

isawarenshi

if someone having to go there via other means first is not an issue, then there's a level 15 standard invocation ritual called circle of travel that would be fairly ideal... as long as you have some means to protect both ends while you're away (which i would expect most people who have level 15 inv...

I am working on methods for traveling rifts earth for a small number of people faster. What spell would you use to say open a portal from say the NGR to NA? Is it as simple as Dim Portal or am I missing something?

So it seems alot of Techno Wizard armors are EBA but from what I read in the RUE you could not cast spells from that kind of armor. Does the Techno Wizard get special dispensation since they are techno casters? You misread RUE. ok when I said "can't" I more mean they get extream penalties...

So considering that we have both the revised conversion book 1 and Skraypers which is offical conversion system from HU to a MDC enviorment like Rifts?

isawarenshi

What W.P. should be used with MDC weapons that are physical not energy in nature? Such as big bore and triax pump weapons.

What do you guys and gals think and is there an official opinion?

The basic principle I am offering is to give the warp bubble a stable window before the "Fold" collapses and drops back to a sub-light speed. If we work on the premise that this is a systemic requirement of the technique they are using to generate the warp bubble then we can have a starti...

isawarenshi

Realistically, since there doesn't appear to be a time differential aspect anymore, if we accept the totally unsubstantiated RPG distance limits, all we need is a rough idea of speed and we're good to go. Yeah I totally agree there. Since we don't have official HG statistics on these parts of the m...

So I thought I would run a potential concept for game mechanics for RT “Fold” warp drives by the forum and see what you guys think. A couple points I am going to go with from what I know and have read ect. 1) Mechanically the only rules shown thus far are the maximum range on the drive. 2) Per the n...

While for each of the ships with fold capabilities have listed size of the fold bubble and distance it can go in one jump how much time takes place mid jump? Any idea of a general speed of fold travel? Nope! As far as Robotech is concerned, there has been no official (or even quasi-official) word o...

The way the weapons damage simly read: +P.S. damage of the weilder. It does not say on the weapons or in the section that only adds supernatural P.S. damage or it converts the normal P.S. damage bonus to M.D.C. As writen I would almost say it means converts to M.D.C. but then that also flies in the ...

What bonus to hit does the Mystic Knight get to him on the attack or is it just straight D20 roll?

I have received a reply through the original PM I sent to Galactus Kid and with his permission I am going let everyone know his answers. I'll have to look at my original manuscript, but here are my answers off the top of my head: They are the only OCC from the Knights that does not have the basic Le...

Good afternoon and happy new year! I hope you don't mind I have a few questions for you about your Reconciler OCC for the Knights of the White Rose. They are the only OCC from the Knights that does not have the basic Ley Line Wizard abilities. This seems like a very limiting ability for them to trav...
