Who is up for a Snipe hunt? lol

I take that to mean you like it.


Yes I do, sadly none of my current players are really interested in owning one, but I'm thinking of having a tribe in the Yin-Sloth Jungles give my group a hard time using their Snipe Mounts

You do know that snipe are real birds.....and they FLY

Alright it's been a while since anything new was put on here so let's see what this does for thread ressurrection...

Blood Mold
The origins of Blood Mold are largely unknown. Many believe it originates from some alien world/dimension. More likely it is actually some horrible genetic mutation of Green Mold (M&A pgs 93-94). Considering that many items infected with Green Mold are turning up with patches of Blood Mold as well, this is probably closer to the truth. Whatever its origins, it is known that Blood Mold is virtually identical to Green Mold with a few key differences; 1> Appearance. Blood Mold appears as a mottled green and brown pattern with uneven splotches of bright red across the surface. 2> Value. Alchemists are often willing to pay upwards of 10,000 gold for a sample of the stuff (carefully sealed in a container, of course). 3> Victims infected with Blood Mold, at the moment of their death, whether from the Mold itself or some other source, become what has been referred to as a Blood Mold Zombie, a wierd sort of psuedo-undead corpse animated by the Blood Mold. Beyond that the two molds are completely identical including damage inflicted, germination periods, resistances and cures.
Alignment: N/A
Attributes: N/A
Hit points: None, effectively indestructible
SDC: N/A
Natural AR: 15
Horror Factor: 14
PPE: None
Magic: N/A
Psionics: N/A
Average Life Span: Varies, Magical
Value: Up to 10,000 gold for a safely contained sample
Habitat: Anywhere
Natural Abilities: Magical parasite, Animate Dead (see Blood Mold Zombie below)

Blood Mold Zombie
Completely mindless corpses animated by Blood Mold, using heightened sensitivity to airborne and/or seismic vibrations to locate and pursue food sources. Blood Mold is so sensitive to vibrations it can detect a whisper, or even a heartbeat, at a range of up to 10 feet. Once vibrations are detected, it will animate whatever corpse it infests to pursue and attack its source in order to slay and infest it with Blood Mold. Anything attacking, parrying or struck by a Blood Mold Zombie has a 40% chance of getting infected with Blood Mold. This chance of infection jumps to 95% if the Blood Mold happens to be in its germination phase. (40% chance) If being attacked by several Blood Mold Zombies, a successful remove Curse will destroy only one of them. Blood Mold Zombies appear very much like any other form of Zombie, a walking corpse in various stages of decay. A successful Perception roll of 12 or higher will note the telltale patches of Blood Mold scattered across the flesh of this monster, giving astute characters a reason to be highly cautious.
Alignment: N/A
Attributes: Except for a Spd of 6, not really applicable
Hit Points: N/A
SDC: 1d6x10+20
Natural AR: 15
Horror Factor: 14
Natural Abilities: Impervious to Fire, Cold, Poison, Disease, Mind Control, Possession, cannot be turned via Turn Dead, Senses any airborne and/or seismic vibrations within a 10-100 feet radius (the louder the sound the further away it can be sensed), cannot be surprised/snuck up on, Infects victims with Blood Mold (see above)
Number of Attacks: 2 by Fists doing 1d6 damage or by weapon (30% chance of even having one available)
Bonuses: None. Actually suffers a -4 to initiative, has no bonus to Strike and is incapable of defending itself in any way (all the easier to infect its victims if it doesn't parry or dodge attacks)
Vulnerabilities: Only a Remove Curse can actually destroy Blood Mold or a Blood Mold Zombie

How do these little beasties grab ya, folks? :twisted:

Why, does Green Mold not have SDC? I guess I will have to look up the stats for mold, then.

No worries brah... I know how you feel.
As for the editting, check back around the 31st or so... gonna be off the grid for Memorial Day weekend as my phone and net service get transferred to my new house. Or, on the off chance someone here has a copy of M&A, they could post Green Mold's weaknesses for me? (hint hint) At any rate I'll see you all again in a few days. Until then, Let the good times role!

Sorry about the wait everybody but I have finally settled into my new home and gotten back online. As promised, Blood Mold and Blood Mold Zombies have been editted *shoots a look at drewkitty and grinz*. Sorry it took so long, but it takes a bit of time settling into a 3 bedroom house with only 2 people moving the stuff.

That's my point exactly. This version doesn't have it...it is just another animal. I am not trying to berate your work, but I am wanting something intelligent with magic.

Im going to have to say no as i have no clue what that even means. My creature was inspired by the Egyptian creature from Myths and one of my favorite games, Age of Mythology. I took the idea from there and tweaked a few things. Not a conversion, just heavily inspired by. But i think i messed somthing up in the creation :?:


D&G = Dragons and Gods
RCB2 = Rifts Conversion Book 2
He's wondering if you looked through these publications before you did a write up on your creature for any needed references. :D

I've been known to do some conversions of 1st edition to 2nd edition. And we have two books
Yin Sloth and Island at the end of the World which for the most part seem to be stuck in 1st
edition setting :badbad: . Great and wonderful stuff is in those books. So while I'm unable to

post any new monsters of late, I'm going to update some NPCs from those books.

Cool.

Natural A.R.: 8

Magic: A rarity among Avians. They tend to avoid it.
Psionics: Standard, those who do tend to become psi-healers

mercenary fighter, gladiator, ranger, thief, nomadic tribesman, aerial acrobat, juggler, scholar,
peasant, or witch.

foot long/0.3 m rabbit a distance of up to two miles/3.2 km, nightvision 300 feet (91 m), track

like whistle) 90%.
Attacks per Melee: Two for young, four for adult males and females, or by O.C.C. Note:
They tend to avoid standing on the ground and prefer to stay airborne. When flying, the avian
can clutch a weapon in each talon and hand, but usually leaves the talons free for slashing
attacks.
Damage: Bite inflicts 2D4 damage, raking slash with talons 2D6, full strength strike with
talons 3D6, pin and entangle with talon, then fly up and drop from above (1D6 damage per 10

Jungle and the neighboring mountains. Occasionally encountered in the Baalgor Wastelands and
Old Kingdom. Avian slaves and gladiators are in imprisoned in the Western Empire.

and cries. Regardless of O.C.C. they can learn to speak four different languages, but have great
difficulty speaking other tongues-use very simple words and phrases (-20% to speak additional
languages).
Enemies: Trolls, ogres, orcs, goblins, gromek, and feathered death. Humans to a much
lesser degree.
Allies: Headhunters, grimbor, hytril. The tezcat fear them but try not to harm them
because they are friends of the sacred grimbor. They fight only to defend themselves against
killer rogues who attack them.
Physical Appearance: Avians are human-size beings who resemble a cross between a man
and hawk. Grey-green feathers with off-white highlights cover the majority of their bodies. They
have a powerful humanoid chest and long legs with end in taloned feetTheir arms are attached

Rifts® Conversion Notes: Remains and S.D.C. creature in a Mega-Damage settings with
In the Rifts® setting, Avains can be found primarily in the mountain jungles of Africa, South
America, and Asia. Those encountered not in these regions are wandering adventures.

Note: Avians cannot wear humanoid armor because of their wings. Most flocks use a variety of
simple weapons. Bolas, clubs, javelins, spears, and thrown rocks are the most common.
Remember, their talons are the equal to any sword. Avians can carry small items and light
weapons in their hands during flight, but must be extremely careful with how they use them to
avoid erratic and reckless fights and damage to their wings.

One of my favorites. Found on page 53-54.

FIRE SPRITE

Race.: Entity
Alignments: Anarchist, miscreant, or diabolic
The Eight Attributes (physical stats applicable only to the physical form. Not applicable in
ethereal form): I.Q. 1D6+7, M.E. 2D6, M.A. 1D6, P.S. 1D6, P.P. 2D6, P.E. n/a, P.B. 1D6+10, Spd 8
(running), 40 mph (64 km) flight in solid form, 60 mph (96 km) flight in ethereal form. .
Hit Points: 4D6+6
S.D.C.: 4D6+6 in physical form. Destroying the physical form causes the fire sprite to
revert to its natural ethereal existence. Damage does not transfer to the entity's hit points.
Horror Factor/Awe: 10
P.P.E.: 4D6x10
Magic: All fire warlocks spell from levels 1-3 at 6th level in experience.
Psionics: None
Natural Abilities: Ethereal and intangible, meaning it can walk through solid matter. Its
natural state is semi-transparent, but it can become solid if its finds a flame at least the size of
a candle. It its ethereal state it is impervious to all physical and energy attacks, but is
vulnerable to magic and psionics. Can fly and hover indefinitely. Nightvision 600 feet (183 m).
Can sense the presence, general direction, and distance of fires as small as a camp fire within a
two mile (3.2 km) radius. Capable of drawing P.P.E. from other living beings or other sources of
magic (ley lines, magic talisman, and artifacts like a true practitioner of magic), although it
prefers killing living beings with its fire magic and stealing their doubled P.P.E. afterward. Note: It
cannot cast any magic, affect fire in any way, touch or interact with the physical world as an \
ethereal being.
Special Abilities: In solid form, can still fly and hover indefinitely, nightvision 60 feet (18.3
m), impervious to fire, heat and plasma (including magic), impervious to organic attacks (poison,
drugs, toxins, disease, needs air to breathe), impervious to normal weapons, impervious to
possession and chameleon with fire (cannot be seen or detected when inside any sort of flame).
The transformation into a physical state is possible once per 24 hours period, so if its physical
form is destroys, the entity will flee and cannot become solid until 24 hours later. Note: It has a
50% chance of igniting combustible materials if its comes into contact with them.
Attacks per Melee: Two actions (no attacks) as an entity. Three physical attacks per
melee in solid form or two casting fire magic.
Damage: None as a entity, in physical form its fiery touch inflicts 2D4 points of damage.
Bonuses: +2 on initiative, +4 to dodge, +3 to damage (in physical form), +2 to save vs.
magic, and +12 to save vs. horror factor.
Vulnerability: The solid form of a fire sprite is vulnerable to holy weapons, magic
weapons, spell magic, and other types of magic. Cold based spells inflict double damage. Water
spilled on the physical form will destroy the physical form, but will not harm the entity. A glass or
mug of water will inflict 2D4 damage, a glass of holy water does 2D6 damage, a bucket of water
6D6 damage, and a steady rainfall will destroy the physical form in two melee rounds.
Average Life Span: Unknown, perhaps immortals.
Value: None
Habitat: The Yin Sloth Jungle (particular the Great Fog Bog) and the Baalgor Wasteland.
Language: Speak Faerie Folk, Goobley, and Elemental at 85%.
Enemies: None, per se
Allies: Other evil creatures who like to cause mischief, suffering, and chaos.
Physical Appearance: Its natural state is an eight inch (20 cm) tall white,
semi-transparent humanoid shape. In its physical form, the creature appears as a tiny female
humanoid with a body composed entirely of flame. Their mouth is a small black hole and their
eyes are black with red flakes.
Size: 1 foot (0.3 m) in physical form
Weight: None.
Rifts® Conversion Notes: Becomes an M.D.C creature in Mega-Damage setting with
4D6+6 M.D.C. The Physical form has a separate 20 M.D.C. The fiery physical form must be
destroyed first before any damage can be inflicted on the creature’s base M.D.C. Damage does
not transfer from the physical form to the ethereal one. The vulnerabilities are the same against
the M.D.C. fiery form. The creature is impervious to normal M.D.C weapons and energy attacks
(only vulnerable to magic ones), but remains impervious to fire, heat, and plasma (including
magic). The creature inflicts S.D.C. damage with its fiery touch (3D6), but its fire spells inflict
M.D.C. damage as normal. On Rifts® Earth, Fire Sprites populate the Vampire Kingdoms
especially the Yucatan which is magically protected from rainfall. They can also be found in the
most arid regions of the world, i.e. Death Valley California, the Sahara Desert, the Australian
Outback, etc.

Megaverse. Found on page 55.

warlock (usually earth or water; fairly rare).

Prowl 65%, Brewing 70%, and Use and Recognize Poison 65%.

Atop their shoulders rests an oversized head with big, frog-like eyes. Their mouths are full of
rows of sharp teeth. Their skin is a dull greenish-brown color with darker streaks of green and
back which provide natural camouflage. Their hands and feet are webbed, ending in short, razor
sharp claws. Although they resemble frogs, they are actually aquatic reptiles.
Size: 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 m) tall
Weight: 160 to 200 lbs (72 to 90 kg)
Rifts® Conversion Notes: Still an S.D.C. creature in Mega Damage setting. In Rifts®
Earth setting, Large Krog clans can be found throughout the South and Dinosaur Swamp of the
former United States. Small Krogs clans inhabit the jungles of South America, Asia, and Africa.

Note: The krog surround their homes with a variety of traps to protect their territory. The most
frequent used traps are punji sticks and pits. Lack the technology to make metal weapons.
Usually armed with bone and stone weapons. Often coat their weapons with a sludge made of
boiled mushroom poison. The poison causes 4D6 points of damage per strike/melee of contact
unless a save vs. poison is made (no damage otherwise). The sludge also affects the nervous
system, reducing bonuses to strike, parry, and dodge by -2 (no penalties if save is made). Krog
often snap their spear heads off after impaling their opponents, leaving the poison tipped in
their enemies. When this is done, the poison continues to do 4D6 damage each melee for 1D4
melees. Krog usually wear loin clothes held in place by hemp belt. Advance Krog tribes wear
armor composed of wood and bamboo. A.R. of 10 and has 40 S.D.C.

I've saved the best for last of the Yin Sloth Conversions :D

SAGE NPC FORCE

The Sage cannot be a player character!
Alignments: In most the being is of a good alignment, although a few are selfish or evil.
O.C.C.: Demigod keeper of history
R.C.C.: In order to be a sage, a race must be eligible for both the wizard and mind mage O.C.C.
The Eight Attributes: I.Q. 3D6+10, M.E. 2D6+10, M.A. 2D6+10, P.S. 3D6, P.P. 3D6, P.E.
3D6+4, P.B. 3D6+4, Spd 2D6+4
Hit Points: 3D6x10 + P.E. attribute number and 4D6 per level of experience.
S.D.C.: 1D4x100
Natural Armor Rating: 14
Horror Factor/Awe: 8+1D6; more awe inspiring (and a bit unnerving) than frightening.
P.P.E.: 4D4x100
Magic: All sages must be at least an 11th level wizard and have spent several lifetimes in
the study of magic and scholarly pursuits. As a result, they know every modern magic spell
currently known to mortals, including Spells of Legend, they can read runes and magic symbols,
and accurately identify circles and wards. However, they don’t know the many different magic
that existed long ago and were lost during The Time of a 1000 Magics or before. Sages may be
willing to barter spells for magic items, ancient relics and accurate historical information, or even
as payment or a reward for an occasional special service. Note: Sages can hold and use 300%
more P.P.E equal to their P.E. attribute score in minutes. They do however feel the same
penalties as normal mages do for super charging themselves. Sages can channel vast amounts
of P.P.E. for the purposes or performing ceremonial or ritual magic for one melee round as much
as 1000 points per level of experience (for additional information on this read Mysteries of
Magic: Book One (page 21-22).
Psionics: All sages are equal to a 10th level mind mage and possess EVERY psionic power.
I.S.P.: 3D6x10+120 + M.E. attribute number x2.
R.C.C.: Skills of Note: Read, write, and speak all current Palladium languages at 98%. Also
speak 3D4 archaic languages at 85%. dowsing, use & recognize poison, all lores (including all
major religions and many obscure ones), research, law, heraldry, anthropology (all), history (all),
cryptography, art (painting), writing, palming, pick pocket, juggling, dance, singing, sailing, and
fashion tools all at 95%. Streetwise, gambling (standard), disguise, swimming, siege engineer, all
medical skills, gemology, identify plants & fruit, recognize weapon quality, appraise antiques,
astronomy & navigation, and astrology, all at 90%.
Natural Abilities: See and Use Ley Lines, Ley Line Drifting, Ley Line Rejuventation,
Recognize Enchantment 98%, Recognize Magic 98%, Literacy: Runes 98%, Mystic Symbology
98%, Recognize & Understand Magic Circles 80%, Identify Energized Wards 80%, Impervious to
all diseases, sickness, and radiation, natural toxic gases and poison only do one-third their
normal damage, effect, penalty, and duration last only one-third as long, heal twice as fast
normal beings, without scarring. Limbs and appendages that are amputated do not regenerate.
Can recover from damage as excessive as -150 hit points, below zero, provided he has not been
decapitated or the brain or heart completely destroyed. Optional Rule: Here’s one skill or
ability I give G.M.s the option to give a Sage. Each Sage possesses within his or her knowledge
3D4+1 per level of experience true names of various supernatural beings or creatures of magic
(any, including gods, demon/deevil lords, alien intelligence, etc) and 1D6 true names of various
mortals for every 100 years the Sage has been alive. Sages will almost never use the true name
against their owners, but their owners DON’T know that for sure. Thus the reason Sages are
considered neutral and off limits, so no one, including the Gods will do anything to threaten or
harass them.
Attacks per Melee: The Sage has little need for combat skills, weapons, or armor due to
their immense psionic powers, magical powers, and god like attributes. Furthermore, they try to
avoid conflicts and battles at all cost, fight or using magic only long enough to escape. The
sage NEVER kills, except then he is likely to receive his opponent, in order to avoid changing the
course of history. Three attacks per melee round and six non-combat actions. Note: In the
Palladium Fantasy setting, Sages cast spell magic equal to fast spelling cast occurring in Rifts®,
spells level 1-5 count as one melee attack, 6-10 count as two melee attacks, and Levels 11-15
and spells of legend take 3 attacks. For those who use the infamous P.P.E. channeling (like yours
truly) Sage cast spell magic equal to supernatural creatures which means 10 P.P.E per level of
experience per action per melee, so at a minimum a Sage could cast 110 P.P.E. spell per action
(330 P.P.E use up all actions for a melee, so a spell like Teleport: Superior (600 P.P.E.) would
require 2 melees rounds to perform.
Damage: By weapon, psionic, or spell magic. A sage may carry and use powerful rune or
millennium weapons and magic items because they love to collect and study these items. They
may also wear light armor and carry ordinary weapons as part of their disguise when they walk
among morals.
Bonuses: +1D4 to initiative, +2 to save vs. psionics, +6 to save vs. magic, +10 to save
vs. possession, +8 to save vs. mind control, and +10 to save vs. horror factor. Their spell
strength at a minimum requires a 15 or better to save against. As a master psionic they need a
10 or better to save against psionics. All these bonuses are in addition to those gained by
attribute bonuses or enhancements from magic items that might be on their possession.
Average Life Span: Theoretically, immortal, unless slain. Yes a sage can be killed.
Value: Not applicable
Habitat: Can be found almost anywhere in the Palladium World, but their residence is
usually very secluded and far away from mortal civilization. Sulyott The All Knowing is a rarity
among Sages.
Language: See above.
Enemies: None per se, but forces of evil, especially dark gods, demon and deevil lords,
and other alien intelligences are aware that Sages almost always become aware of their plans if
they are going to have an effect on a major percentage of the mortal population.
Allies: They are indifferent toward most mortal races. They do on occasion enjoy a
visiting from spirits of light, good faerie folk, good creatures of magic, and the even more rare
occasion a benevolent deity or dimensional traveler.
Physical Appearance: Vary, the lair of a sage is cluttered with hundreds of magic
weapons, charms, and relics, as well as at least five of every summoner, diabolist, and alchemist
component. None of these items in their collections are for sale, although a sage may part with
certain pieces for trade of something else equally rare or unusual (most are very honest in these
trades and will insist on a fair swap0. Sometimes, if the sage has more than one of an item he or
she will present the magic item, book, or relic to a character as a gift or reward for a favor or
for engaging in a quest on the sag’s behalf. Items that are evil or dangerous are locked away
from mankind for their own protection. Sages will also try to track down those items, especially
famous rune weapons.
Size: Vary
Weight: Vary
Rifts® Conversion Notes: Becomes a M.D.C. creatures of magic in a Mega Damage
setting. Add hit points and S.D.C. together, which becomes its total M.D.C. In the Rifts® Earth
setting, a Sage in addition to possessing the Special O.C.C. Abilities of a Ley Line Walker (1-6),
would have the Abilities of a Rogue Scholar, with 10 additional skills from Communications,
Domestic, Mechanical, Science, or Technical areas, there is no known Sage to exist that
however doesn’t mean that there isn’t one observing the many events transpiring in the world.
The Sage maybe content simply to watch and record the events, or he/she might be working
behind the scenes.

Attacks per Melee: Eight physical attacks, or three fire breath and five physical, or three
by magic. Note: For those who use the infamous P.P.E. channeling (like yours truly) Dragons cast
spell magic equal to supernatural creatures which means 10 P.P.E per level of experience per
action per melee, so at a minimum the Great Priest could cast 150 P.P.E. spell per action (1200

I was just wondering something.. I thought Island at the Edge of the Worlds was in 2nd edition format as it was released in 1994 well after the 2nd edition palladium fantasy rpg?

Just curious.
