Cross Palladium-Game Psionic Power Choices

Unread post by GaredBattlespike »

Greetings. I am posting this here as it is about Cross-Palladium Game Powers: If I have a Mind Melter from Rifts and he goes to (Nightbane's) Earth after Dark Day, and learns of new Psionic Powers he has never heard of before, like: Astral Navigation, and Super Charge (both from Beyond the Shadows), can he choose those powers at his next Level? What about the reverse: An Astral Lord goes to Rifts Earth and finds out about Ectoplasmic Diguise(Physical) and Sense Dimensional Anomoly(Sensitive), could he learn those as he goes up in Level?

Note: If this needs to moved to Psionics, I understand.
Thanks, GaredBattlespike:Headhunter

Yes.

Heck, There's nothing saying you even need to go to another dimension to learn them. I put all psionics form all books in one giant pool any PC can pick from regardless of setting.

Ditto

except for ones I don't allow anyways.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

I cannot speak for Drew but some Psionics (IMO) are not appropriate for all settings...
EG: the Tele-mechanics psionics in Palladium Fantasy.

Every group has one problem player. If you cannot spot the one in your group; look in the mirror.
It is not a good session until at least one player looks you in the eye and says "you sick twisted evil ****"

DM> I'd let the player give his char an inappropiate power.... would serve that player right for being stupid.

NS> convert ISP to PPE comes to mind for ones I don't allow. (whatever name they gave it)

Thanks, folks!

The idea of putting all psionics into one big choice-pool is a good idea,drewkitty. I like it. It's simple to the point of elegance. Now I wonder "Why didn't I think of that?"...Then I remember, I'm just a Headhunter, not a brainiac. Still...One thing: Nighsp-err, um...Nightbane has the
powers in a slightly different Catagory System, Master instead of Super-although I doubt it makes any real difference.

All in all, for those who helped me, :hug: :ok: Thank you.

the classification system in NS was changed with the 2nd nb book to come in line with rest of the PB megaverse.
I would only use classifications found in the main book with the The Psychic PCC.

other Psi powers I would not allow for regular psi's to pick out of are the race specific psi powers in Rifts south america two. A player might be able to talk their way into using them for a HU psi char, but that is all the exceptions I'd allow.
