I'm a Palladium newbie planning on hosting a game combining Heroes Unlimited's powers with TMNT's world and mutant animals. There's a few things that I'm a little caught up on at the moment:
1. When a character gains a level of experience, what bonuses do they receive? I assume Skill increases and bonuses to combat according to their HtH Combat and natural bonuses.
For most characters, that's it.
2. Do Attributes ever increase outside of Physical Skills, and do Attributes less than 16 have any statistical or ingame effects?
To the first part, no, never. To the second part: No, unless one uses the rules from Rifts Ultimate Edition for attributes 8 and less, however this would have no impact on an HU game.
3. Do languages have any Base Skill Percentage and increase per level?
Yes, New Languages is under technical skills.
4. Do Skills actually cap at 98%, or can they be above that but still count as being 98% at maximum?
They cap at 98% and never get higher.
5. What does the wording of this paragraph from Heroes Unlimited mean exactly, because it seems to go against the convention of taking all of the choices in a Skill Program that is stated in both TMNT and Heroes Unlimited:
"Fundamental" or "Basic" Skill Programs are the one included in the following list. If a skill program is selected a second time, th player can make four skill selections of choice from whatever skills are left in the Skill Category that seems appropriate (most are self-evident; i.e. Doctor selectes from medical and/or science skill category, mechanic from mechanical skills, etc.), or whatever skills remain in the overall Category, whichever is less. For example, here might only be one or two skills available under the Mechanical Category, but it would be a significant one, like Robot and/or Aircraft Mechanics.
Thanks all for your time.
okay. Lets say you have a character take say, Computer Program skill program. They get Basic Electronics, computer operations, programing, and repairs (Or radio). If they take Computer Program skill program a second time, they get 4 more skills from the Technical catagory (Or whatevers remaining if they already have all other technical skills).
if they take Military deomlitions program, they get the listed skills, and if they take it again, they get 4 more military skills. Ect.
