I ran a Rifts game months ago and one of my players were being a stickler for the combat rules. One attack action for everyone. I happen to prefer a much faster combat system that allows fair balance of attacks and rp. So if you have a party of four people and they have nearly five to six attacks no...

Hard to choose. I started out on Robotech but Rifts is pretty darn cool. When i started back up again i got The NGR& Triax Book. Phase World is another fave. I would like to get the old printing of Robotech: Sentinels again as that by far brings back so many memories. The newer books confuse me ...

I had a player play a RCC besides his horrible take on it and constant bumbling ending up with him captured by the CS but this is not my real question as to how make one. They are super rare and limited by a GM. he did not value it as it is in Rifts Mercenaries book. So is it a Mind Melter? Then our...

Sorry guys for the sudden departure and Not finishing here. I shall endeavor to fix this. I had many other ideas. I shall finish this off. Sorry but when i started this i had quite a few things going on and now that it has settled i can focus on my true love. *Plugs brain in and downloads* Ah just a...

Ok Ion/Heat Rays fixed!. Lets hope it does not boil the seas and instead cook a splugorth or other nasty from a undersea rift.

Commander

:bandit: *dropping* Dropping. I would like to get Kevin S. Opinion on how it all works Tech Vs Magic. He would know more. It would clear up confusion since he designed the mechanics and the rules spells with help from other Palladium staff members and contributors over the years. I just wish the sp...

You still can be tracked. Pg. 309 Rifts Ultimate Edition(RUE) Mage unless they fly off or the like can be tracked as normal they will not know his exact location if using spells to hide his or her person. And you need to read the O.C.C. powers and The R.C.C. powers that allow them to counter such th...

Ion guns that can fire under water? --flatline Yes due to it heating up the the ions instead of just firing. So water heats up when the small laser fires as it is a conductor of heat.

Here, ill repost JUST the spells, for the fourth and in some cases fifth time, so you can maybe get a grasp on what we're even talking about. If you're not going to read them, and respond according to WHAT THE SPELLS ACTUALLY SAY, don't bother. Ill just assume youre trolling, report it as such, and...

Hey guys did you see sector G Go out ? Yes so did Sector H..really ? Yes we sent the guards down. Did they see anyone ? No but they think some one is in the area with spells. So a Mage ? Yes. Let me call the PSi-Stalker And Dog Boy Detachment. INVIS superior affects only that person and one other b...

Now read through all the spells and notice what they have in common... the target is the Spellcaster , NOT the enemies or sensors or machines. They render the CASTER immune to these things, regardless of who is looking at him or how they are looking at him, except as noted, and using them in concer...

I did have a characters ship that a lot of the invisibility arguments likely would not work against, but the character was a little paranoid ... ok a lot paranoid about people trying to sneak up and destroy her ship. the only thing is it was a starship so it a LOT harder to hide when there is nothi...

My point is the failure of the operator to detect. Then you quite literally have no point. At no point is the operator relevant except for seeing someone who is ONLY covered by Invisibility to Sensors being spotted by OPTICS that are manned by an organic intelligent being. That's it. Otherwise, it ...

Actually, Invisibilty: Superior straight up makes you invisible, period. (Even to robots and the like) And theres another relatively low level spell that makes you immune to sensors of all kinds.

Combat magic has a spell for shielding the caster (and possibly others?) from detection by technology. However, the spell only works so long as the sensor operator fails their save versus magic. So automated systems will auto-fail but human operated systems at least have a chance to detect the shie...

Flying German Warships are SCARY German Warships. British Isles rogue scholars are probably thinkng to themselves 'Yeah, they're big, but give us a few TW Fairey Swordfish and we can still sink the blighters..." Might be able to sneak in using stealth magic. Otherwise they would get shelled or...

They are mostly based on the the technology Warlord class yet were smaller and more maneuverable. They use A...

Personally I don't think you have anything to feel sorry for. This looks to be a labor of love and as such is highly personal that you are sharing at all is to be commended. When you grow up with Robotech and Rifts for years it inspires you to appreciate people like Kevin S. Kevin Long, Late Great ...

Sorry it took so long but i needed to make sure i got it right and it was unique. Typing it in took two days!. It has Destroyer escorts i will put up with the M.A.R.S. System. I hope every one enjoys.

Warlord Class Hover Battleship This Battleship is a marvel of innovation. It hovers using advanced VTOL thrusters and space age technology. Due to the weight the Dreadnought cannot hover high. Its armor plating is very thick. It uses a twin hull design. It even features a secondary hover system to ...

Commander

Agreed; some good hardware here, even if it is in the service of the CS(then again, the Evil Empire doesn't get where it is by being consistantly incompetent or miserly with its gear). And the tanks and robots debate should not be phrased as 'which one is better?' but 'where are they most appropria...

Commander

I believe there is already a canon CS tank built specifically for air defense in the back of Mercenaries. But I do like the feel you are going for. Id beef up the MDC on all the tanks, especially the glittery one. Tanks always get shafted in Rifts. I think insane amounts of armor should make up for...

Commander, If you haven't seen it already, I recommend you take a look at the X-2020 Rainmaker on page 136 of Triax 2. It's in a very similar vein. Need those books as i got the Core Books and some older ones. I just seen the first NGR & Triax. Don't worry i got a few new NRG & Triax vehicl...

In the old days when the first cannons were used made of iron and wooden wheels carried by horses, battles were fought using artillery. In Rifts the battlefield can change in an instant.

A good rule of thumb on resources is the area that the G.M. is having the PC's in. Thus certain regions will fluctuate. Like a ripple in water the farther one goes from high tech city's or towns the harder it is to get the right resources. In certain areas it might be difficult due to what kind of i...

Also if people look up in the Rifts or Rifts ultimate edition it would be hard to pop open a Rift in farmland. At night they will see you. Also not to mention every Psychic CS patrol in a mile or SAMAS might even spot you to Robots. The more you do it, the more you will get caught. Psi-Stalkers and ...

Well most G.M.'s are not looking at whole economies but what players can or cannot have. Certain campaign's would not allow lets say a squad of CS soldiers to have magic or illegal magic items at the start. Also they are keeping track of towns that will help them. So CS not Cs ect it really boils do...

I want to point out that Triax and NGR are ahead of the CS mainly Chi-Town and Lone Star by 30 or 40 years due to the different circumstances. That makes the CS leaders uneasy since Free Quebec has been trading tech with the NGR & Triax for years. Updated Rifts Ultimate Edition not to mention ot...
