Personally if my Temporal Warrior character ever saw someone using a Temporal magic spell who was not a Temporal class he'd make it his business to hunt that person down and kill him/her but not before finding out how they learned it. Then so on down the line. Problem is, people don't wear signs sa...

Dr. Doom III

The Temporal classes are not Mystics or any class specifically mentioned that cannot learn spells beyond those learned per level therefore they can learn spells at any time.
Simple as that. Anything else is a house rule.

Dr. Doom III

Yes but be careful if the players try to teach other class specific magic. For example Temporal magic is a closely guarded secret. Any player who taught another class a temporal spell or any character who learned such spells would be marked for death if it becomes known.

Dr. Doom III

Can they buy and learn spells or are they restricted to new spells only when they level? Yes they can learn new spells at any time. as long as they have someone to teach it or learn it from a scroll. Scrolls are generally rare on Rifts Earth. Temporal Wizards are true spell casters like the Ley Lin...

Ye Gods!
Not again!

Stop the madness!

This post should have ended the first one but I expect this will go on forever too.

Simultaneous Attack is not a defensive action it's an attack.
It's right there in the name. Therefore you have to use it when it's your turn to attack.
You don't get to be attacked and then call simultaneous attack and in effect negate initiative.

The phrase "armies of zillions" appeals to me for some reason.

Humans are generalists. Evolutionarily speaking a generalist is what you want to be as a species if you want to survive for a good long time.

Sure, I can pay $20 for a 200-page book that I'll use maybe 40 pages of, but I'd rather pay $20 for a 200-page book that I'll use 160 pages of. --flatline ...and that's definitely a good reason for YOU not to like the books, but it doesn't mean that metaplot isn't useful.

Why does everything have to be shades of gray?

Unpredictable weather, dimensional anomalies, and Ley Line storms would also be a major factor in long distance air travel. keep in mind that unpredictable weather is already a factor with air travel. I was under the impression that we have weather forecasting nowadays. Keep in mind that in a post ...

This also means if the mage is being hammered by a full press attack (i.e., his attacker keeps striking at him at every opportunity), even if the sorcerer is successfully parrying each attack, he is focused on protecting and defending himself and cannot get a higher level spell off. The same is tru...

There's also the Puerta de Hayu Marka at Lake Titicaca, Peru.

You have a cite for that? Or is it from extrapolation?

One or the other.

When a rift opens, it's extremely unlikely that the air pressures are equalized, so you should always assume that there is a strong wind blowing through the rift from the higher pressure location/dimension into the lower pressure location/dimension. According to page 19 WB7 , atmospheres of differe...

[*]The infamous Temporal Raiders that terrorize Splynn seem by the wording of the text to pop in and out wherever they want to. Presumably, if they could only open their D-portals on lines or at nexuses, it would be a much easier task for the Splugorth to permanently station troops at or near those...

All supernatural creatures (gods included) radiate their alignment.

NO, it's not! I already gave you the basic info that you could have easily googled to confirm what i said was true. This isnt a rpg book where the only way to look up info is to flip thru the book for citation, and we aren't lawyers defending 'only' one side of the arguement. Your comment shows you...

A jungle-covered Antarctica is both a cliché and a Marvel rip off if Marvel didn't rip it off from something else first. Antarctica is cold because of its location. Not only because it's at the south poll but because it's an island. The Antarctic current circles it and basically keeps it frozen. Unl...

The glide path of all comercial jets is not what I would consider marvelous, but it is very doable to land one safely with no engine power. During normal take off and approach if power was lost however, you'd likely be pwned. Actually for a modern "fly by wire" plane it is imposable to fl...

One friend had a character modeled after marvel's thunder strike, well after having his arm ripped off and his jaw removed , he looked like lockjaw from he-man after I got done with him.

I will note that, as one writer mentioned in my Triax 2 Mech Review thread (I really need to do another one of those, but I don't know which to do), that many weapons' damages are made in relation to the fact that they can fire 4-6+ times in 15 seconds. This does make some weapons make more sense. ...

Lifting and hitting strength in Palladium are two different things Well, let's look at that. Before CB1, a character with supernatural PS of 30 could lift/carry a lot more than a character with normal PS of 30, but they'd have the same damage bonus (+15). So I agree that Supernatural PS has always ...

I was wondering how you guys handle the RUE supernatural strength rules? I don't think I like them very much. You use a vibro sword and it does max what your punch would do. I think it should at least be added to the damage. You're wrong, here's why: 1. You don't add punch damage to weapon damage (...
