but more likely you're going to get some horrible alien monstrosity that is going to expect you to do terrible things on a regular basis. Ahhh, I thought the choice of who you make a pact with was up to the Shifter - I didn't realize it was random or rolled or something else. I would normally choos...

So I know that the Shifter description says that "the Shifter's spell knowledge leans towards spells that summon. control and influence others, deal with channeling and controlling energy, and dimensional travel." The spells they gain per level are only at their level or below. BUT they ca...

Thanks guys. Very helpful Warshield. I'll start off with this stuff. I don't know that I will be GMing this, but my group is looking for a new campaign setting, and a different ruleset. We typically play Rolemaster, and Pathfinder; but have played L5R, Seventh Seas, GURPS, and Traveler. Palladium se...

So my group is thinking about Rifts as our next campaign - but none of us have played it. I've collected books for over 30yrs now, but never got into a campaign (well played one day, decades ago, and it fell apart). So I'm looking for advice on how to to form a campaign, choose adventures and develo...

So I'm looking at the Celestial Mage and Celestial Line Rider from Rifter 10. Both are very similar, having access to normal invocations and Space magic. The Mage has a few spells chosen, and 14 total. Slightly lower level restrictions on choosing spells at the start. Slightly less starting PPE. And...

Anti-Arcane is a must for any Nightbane sorcerer. Every spell that has a saving throw automatically has no effect. Note this doesn't mean you automatically save, it means that if it has a saving throw, it has no effect whatsoever. This is important for spells where a save normally only lessens the ...

So I am making up a Nightbane Sorcerer for a Rifts setting, and like to plan out my characters thoroughly. Given I'm going Sorcerer, and will have access to most spells in the Rifts settting I wanted to pick Talents with effects that I couldn't reproduce with spells. I'll comb through the books, but...

So, I've found a couple posts listing character classes; but they all seem to be incomplete. I've done some merging trying to make a complete file, but I am still missing some. I'd go back through every book and Rifter and fill out my own, but I am missing Rifters 9.5, 12, 21, 24, 26, 27, and 31 on....

eliakon, I appreciate your comment on Line Drawing, Cloud Magic, Stone Magic, Tattoo Magic, and Conjuring. I was actually thinking the same thing after skimming through some of the stuff posted by DrewKitty. Not sure which of the above I am drawn to most though. Conjuring seemed on the weak side to ...

Bubble Makers. I remember these guys. Now this would work!

Thanks,

WOW! You guys are awesome with all the detailed responses. cr'imson, I guess I was thinking type/category of magic rather than specific O.C.C., since many categories are limited to O.C.C./R.C.C.s anyways. eliakon, I know there are a varieties of things characters can be good at. I guess I was going ...

Malleable

I'm curious what people think is the most power type/category of magic?
I am not familiar with all the types out there, but have just picked up the Rifts Book of Magic.

Temporal Magic seems very cool.

Thanks,

Thanks guys.

Are there any PCC/RCC/OCC Master Psychics that can learn magic - legally created with the Rifts rules, rather than GM allowing combinations prohibited by the rules? I guess mystics can learn psionics and magic, but are capped in both both their psychic and magic learning. I know there is a lot of Mu...

Guardian? What's that from? Same for Demon Knights0 Guardians are an RCC in Nightbane, Demon Knights are a class in Dimensional Outbreak.

Back to the second line: Creatures that are normally MDC due to magic become SDC beings . If it was the way you say it is, then it would say this instead: "Creatures that are normally MDC become SDC beings." Obviously it's been qualified for a reason. I think you're shifting the goalposts...

Malleable

Humans are weaker - at least in an MDC environment. Its MDC concept that you're basically invulnerable to normal damage (and HPs are insane). The other SDC races have some advantage over humans, but really its normally not too much. For me I always saw humans as a race that were MUCH more flexible a...

Precious metals such as gold, silver, bronze and gemstones can not be conjured. On the other hand, iron, nickel, copper, lead, cut glass or crystal that might resemble a gem can be conjured, but must always be in the form of a particular item and not a lump or brick of ore. If its canon, its canon....

Guessing this one is never gonna be done? I dug Australia, but really wanted to hear more about Aboriginal magic. They have a beliefs about Dreamtime, psychics, voodoo, medicine men, spirits and totem. I guess I could combine some ideas from Through the Looking Glass, and the african magic. But the ...

Had to vote Rifts, but Nightspawn is very cool, and PFRPG is really a cool system that combines a good setting and class setup.

I was thinking they were worthless until I read this post. So a conjurer can summon gems that the stonemaster can activate for spell/psionic effects? Sounds reasonable to me. Looks like his spell base from the gems covers a lot of uses. He has a really limited list of spells. The Conjurer himself st...

Malleable

Thanks guys. I am not sure how much Summoning that I will do, but if I am going to do it at all I want to make sure I don't fail. I got ridiculously lucky and pulled a 24 for one ability, so I guess I should put that for MA. Then should I put my 22 in ME, and my 19 in IQ? Then 15 PP, 14 PE, 14 PB, 9...

Malleable

Assuming during character creation people roll 8 sets of 3d6, and then assign them to stats appropriate to the class you want to play, I'm not sure where to assign my stats. As a Shifter it says that IQ and ME are important, but MA is used to determine the battle of wills with summoned creatures. I ...

I read in a post that Shifters may be able to learn temporal magic at 10th level.
Where is this written?
I see a topic on the linkage to a God of Magic, and subject to GM discretion, but don't know of other references.

Yeah, it does kinda rub me the wrong way that the Sorcerer is just so much weaker than a Nightbane Sorcerer. 1d6x10 PPE base vs 3d6X10+20. 2d6 per level vs 2d6+6. All the innate bonuses and attributes. BUT the XP tables balance things out in the end. I do think they should be the curve should be a b...

Thanks guys. I guess I will go with the size of the kindom equals total points spent. And you get creation points buy buying them in what ever package you can afford and isn't a loss in efficiency.

So this ability doesn't say whether you have to be in some range of the person you are borrowing it from.

If it doesnt have a range, can you copy the morphus even if they are no longer around you?

Once you've seen their morphus you always know how to take that shape again?

Thanks again guys.

I agree that half-breeds can lead to munchkinism. So I don't mind the ban.

So I am having difficulty determining how the ability really works. First off, he has psionic powers.
