Channeller = pre-Mystic Knight?

Unread post by barna10 »

Have you ever noticed the similarities between Channellers (Nightbane: Through the Glass Darkly) and Mystic Knights (Rifts: Federation of Magic)? Their P.P.E. channeling abilities are eerily similar. What do you think?

Also, would you ever let a Channeller develop any of the Mystic Knight abilities? I can easily see them recharging batteries, powering energy weapons, or shooting energy bolts.

Mystic Knights are Mystics trained differently.

The Channeler class is a grouping of types of types of intuitive and granted magic types.

So the answer to the topic question is no. So the others questions are moot.

Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

Did someone say Jedi? There are no Jedi-like OCCs in Rifts.
