Psi Stalkers

Unread post by Grell »

Alright, in the RUE it says that when confronting a supernatural or magic creature, a Psi Stalker's HP become MDC. Is this a typo? Shouldn't it be HP/SDC converted to MDC?

Personally, it makes way more sense (to me anyways) that HP and SDC become mega damage.

Any help is appreciated! :?

I see no reason to believe it's a typo.

Although sometimes I dream that it is, and that they don't really turn MDC at all.

It was done to keep the MD of the Psi-Stalker down to a more reasonable level.

Wait, what?
I don't understand. I mean, what is Rifts is ever considered under the criteria of 'reasonable'?

If THIS is reasonable, then what does that make the Dragon hatchling MDC?

Wormwood humans have their SDC converted to MDC too, not just their HP...are they unreasonable?

Most body armor has much more MDC than this...

What are you comparing this to in order to call this 'reasonable'?

I'm so confused....

A lot of it.
Back in the day, I'd have said MOST of it.

Reasonable for a Dragon.
Psi-Stalkers are just mutant humans.
Dragons are Supernatural Beings of legendary power.

Wormwood humans have their SDC converted to MDC too, not just their HP...are they unreasonable?


Yes.

Irrelevent.

Would you like their HP and SDC to turn MDC?

Then it is so.

Viola! The amazing power of the GM.

Watch this...I wave my hand and Wormwood is an all SDC setting.

Now that's power!

This is the same power that lets each and every bartender be an ancient great horned dragon, and every alchamist shop have things priced JUST above the exact ammount of GP the player group has pooled together.


Nice! :lol:
