Flying Power Armor Q & A

[wildhood]

What is the damage from the blast by a Flying Power Armor's after burners?

Good question. I am unable to find a rule for damage from power armor exhaust, but I can find one for exhaust from a missile launcher: 1D6x10 S.D.C., from the WI-40M Super-Heavy Missile Launcher (Rifts Mercenaries, p. 105).

I imagine that a jet pack's or flying power armor's thrusters would inflict more damage than a missile's exhaust, but still less than 1 M.D., otherwise the thrusters would melt. I'd guess around 2D4x10 S.D.C.

Sounds right to me.

You think the person behind the jet wash would be knock down & loss a melee round getting back up from the ground too.

The problem is I am not the GM of the game I am playing. I m looking for some crazy ways to make me knock the socks off everybody in the game. I have not played sent I joint this game group I am with & the GM is on vacation.
