The intent is almost certainly that your base percentile is your PPx5. Yes, that has the potential for a very high starting skill, and PP 20 or beyond will max it as soon as you get the skill. The alternative would give a skill of 1% at level 1 with 20 PP. That seems rather unlikely. Shoot, a decen...

For the Zero G combat Skill in book 2, it says PP number x5% plus 4% per level. Is it PP multiplied by five to make the percentage or is it multiplied by .05? They both seem either really high or really low numbers probability. Wording seems a bit weird to me. I'm bad at math or there's something I'...

i found that 6.5 thing somewhere online just recently as at least a base list to go from since it's been helpful but then had to check other books for certain ones (like prowl getting +8% per level instead of 5% i think) is this done? or being worked on still? (i've wrote out the skill lists a few ...

Dragonforce, DIO or anything with Ronnie, Black sabbath (war pigs, black sabbath) Danzig, Nightwish, apocalyptica, savatage, Dio and Savatage? I dig. I usually do instrumental or soundtracks from movies and games. Space/PW? Mass Effect or some ethereal space rock. New West? Red Dead OST, spaghetti ...

Not official but I would say that if you were to have them, the turbines would need to be replaced with something else. Though that may take away some of the Rifts Earth flavor of them.

CKs are fairly powerful in their own right, but I like the powers of Mystic/white rose knights a bit better. Impervious to energy? Energy blasts for 5 ppe? Really good psionics? Sign me up. Will have to agree that they're kind for different purposes. I haven't been fortunate enough to see what the c...

I would be part of the 'why are you using torture in the first place' crowd, except that question was already answered--the party only ever gets intel from a captive if they use, or at least threaten to use, torture and other extreme interrogation methods. This is a problem with the GM, not a lack ...

I am going to side with the "why are you needing to torture people" crowd. Unlike TV torture is not a fast way to get reliable information. Even today most torture methods are long duration processes designed to break the prisoner on a psychological level (water boarding for example) and ...

For torture it would have to be psychological torture. such as hacking into his controls and lock his ears on and put him in a room with its a small world after all playing on a loop until he talks. Have a mage cast words of truth (he can not lie but he can refuse to reply if he saves.) saves you f...

Would be useful, but not always practical when in the moment of things.

Last weekend my party and I captured an enemy cyborg. We needed info so we decided to interrogate him. However, borgs don't exactly feel pain, so a lot of threats were just laughed off. Is there something we can do? At least in the future. I thought about just disassembling them, but I'm not sure if...

I always got the feeling that their homeland was in the Balagor Rainforest... Why so? Just want to hear rationale. Eli will have his own reasons, but I can see where he's coming from. They sided with the elves... proximity is a good reason for them to have been aligned with the elves initially, esp...

Well, it's way in the back of the Yin-Sloth Jungles book, page 150. There are 5 paragraphs about it and it's essentially a shining city on a hill. Of note for this post, however, is the population breakdown. "The population is roughly 19,000; 60% are titans, 15% elves 10% humans, 5% other gian...

Why so? Just want to hear rationale.

Titans are now wanderers as they were decimated in the elf dwarf wars when they fought on the side of the elves. Now they aren't particularly keen on either race. If you were going to find a group of them it would likely be the old kingdom, or maybe yin sloth or gnw as they tend to get on ok with t...

They are making their way in. Slowly but surely the various sub skills are slowly making their way in. the Trick Shooting and paired pistol skills are already in some books. Eventually they will migrate to the master list(s). Is Paired Pistol actually a detailed skill somewhere other than kinda in ...

Do Titans have a home land? Like, do they tend to cluster in one specific area of the world? I know they're kinda rare but I was wondering they lived in a region. It seems like the other giants live in Nimro if they're not any where else, but I can't see Titans wanting to live next to Gigantes and J...

I like the idea of trying to make even SDC armor viable in an MDC setting. The mechanics tend to over shadow the cool flavor of SDC weapons and armor. I really like this, but I feel like it just might add yet another layer of crunch to an already crunchtastic game. Getting to Thaco territory almost....

I haven't really played a full caster but have a few in my queue to play. I think Ley Line Walker/Rifter are really powerful in their own, provided they have access to ley lines. Depending on your game, you may not run into ley lines. Then what? Just seems like the class isn't as useful, if we're ju...

As a scholar of history, every attempt to make humanity better has often led the other way around. But I'm willing to play with the thought. How far do the players want to go to make it "safe"? How far are they willing? There's a lot of moral implications. Boosting the CS in their fight ma...

Jet packs? Or maybe even Contra-grav packs? You're probably gonna have to be passenger most of the time. I think hovercycles might work if they're big enough. I don't really think it's the matter of weight as it is the use of controls and the size of the person. Otherwise you might end up looking li...

I always imagined they were a small, nub looking thing that you stuck into the butt of the grip. Or, you could put the little batteries or whatever in a swing out cylinder to make it more cowboy style. There's a few books that have some details on what e-clips might look like, but for game mechanics...

The Titan Plate armor in Northern Gun 2 will also work. It's made for juicers, but will work for all tall humanoids like my Titan. The penalties are pretty good for the size and weight.
