Rifts Diva Battle Royal

[Hystrix]

I did a poll a while ago about a Shemerrian Berserker vs. an Altara Warrior Women.

So, in the spirit of this, Rifts combat, and the WWE, I give you the Rifts Diva Battle Royal. Note: For the purposes of this contest all combatants are female.

This is a melee and hand to hand weapons combat only (spells, and psionics ARE allowed) who would win?

[Gamer]

AS is in every vs. instance it depends whose running them.
No, seriously.

You are.

Then none of them, they give each other a big OMG hug and go shopping.

nice.

I'll admit, I don't even know who to pick. I think the Shemerrian Berserker is the odds-on favorite, but I'm a sucker for underdogs. I like the Altara, and the CS Juicer, but I think any one of em could come out on top.

It really depends on what weapons, powers and skills each character is given.
If we are going to generalize, I think the victor would be the Ley Line Walker who could simply remain invisible until there was only one other combatant remaining and then Magic Net it and beat it to death.
Of course I accidentally clicked Mind Melter instead of Ley Line Walker so my vote will have to be in words only.

That just too bad. J/k.

I changed it so you can re-vote if you want to change it.

Thanks and fixed .

Depends on the powers. A Mind Melter with the right powers could stand against at Shemarrian... but the with the wrong powers, would just die.

Since I am now thinking about female Juciers, imagine the knockers a female Titan Juicer would have?

Assuming all are of equal level, The Ley Line Walker is already at a disadvantage, offensive spells leave her vulnerable to just about all of the other classes, and even with armor spells, juicers being MUCH stronger would cause a lot of interruptions to those spells. All of the other classes are pretty generic man-at-arms melee fighters with nothing other than raw skill/class bonuses.

My best bet would be on the Mind Melter, having the most options, as well as versatility, Psi Sword/Shield. Psychic Body Field, not to mention TK Forcefield and Pyrokinesis, trap someone in a TK Forcefield, and drop a Create Flame on them... taking a lot of MD damage for a lot of melee rounds with nowhere to go, so shes got a lot of crowd control as well.

Yeah, I just threw the Ley Line Walker in there to have a magic class. If you think there is one better suited, add them. I guess I should have thrown in a female tattoed warrior...

The thing is they wouldn't because all fat turns to muscle and I think they would end up looking like oversized women body builders. In fact I would reduce a female's PB by 1D6 if they became a juicer of any type, maybe with the exception of a dragon juicer.

Nuff said.
Sorry, but all other arguments are invalidated PERMANENTLY.
Have a nice day.

I voted Mind Melter. Psi-invis, Psi-body field, Super TK, Super TK FF, Bio-manip, Psi-Sword, Hyp Sugg (go attack someone else with big breasts. You were always jealous of her anyway), Empathic Transmission (JEALOUSY), I mean...should I go on? Would the Mind Melter NOT be the last woMAN standing? I think the odds (read: die) are in her favor.

[The Beast]

Technically speaking the shemarian shouldn't be in the fight because it's not female.

[JuliusCreed]

The Ley Line Walker... why? If this is a royal rumble battle royal to the finish I got 3 words for you...

Carpet...
of...
Adhesion...

Pick of targets at your leisure

Mind Melter.

Use Psionic Invisibility, then simply stand back and wait to finish off the survivor.

That power shouldn't work against robots. It specificly mentions that she would be caught by cameras and sensors.

[taalismn]

Going with Stapha....they're big, they're mean, they're lean, and they'd have access to Splugorth magic and technologgy.

A fair point (and one the MM may or may not know about). But the Shemarrian would have to ignore all the other combatants to get to the Mind Melter.

[Display-Name-Alpha]

went with other "mystic knights"

Mystic Knights are just as squishy as Ley Line Walkers when you're not shooting energy weapons at them.

The psychic classes would easily make their save vs Psionics and be able to see the Mind Melter too. Psionics are just too easily saved against which is why I chose the LLW for invisibility.

Which one moves best in mud?

[EnlightenedVagabond]

How about we assume that each combatant doesnt know who they are facing and build the generic version of each listed. So the Mind Melter and others takes "generic" skillset of powers rather than focusing on a specific power(s) to kill a specific foe.

Well Invisibility isn't really specific. Any Mind Melter, or Ley Line Walker can have that particular psychic power/ spell.

[ShadowLogan]

Don't know if this would count (or even considered "fair") but: Full Size Female Zentreadi from Robotech (or Macross2).

I would consider that generic then to those O.C.C.s, I am not saying gimp yourself, as Invisibility is useful in all situations, but I mean dont "tech" yourself to beat one specific foe. For example the Mind Melter could go all "mental control" but that would help him little against the Shemarrian or other such character without a "mind" or defense against mind powers. Just an example though.

That's why she's at the top of the list. Awesome, Josh!

I thought about that. I love Zentreadi, but any character that can win by simply STEPPING on another character was out.

But hey, I did have the "other" selection, so you could write that one in.
