Maximum Carnage

You're facing down the most megalithic demon from the rifts

An entire CS Battalion stands in front you of ready to wage war

A militia from lazlo stands upon a ley line channeling energy ready to tear down the heavens

And you smile,

And unleash hell!



I want to know what's the most MDC damage you've ever done and how you did it

Be as verbose and Loquacious as you can

I want to hear about you kicking names and taking asses, lol

We once barraged a moutian on wormwood with singularity missiles. we didn't even bother rolling for damage. GM said everything died that was on the surface, including an ancient dragon.

Sorry that wasn't particuarlly loquatious, but it wasn't much of a scene. also, beleive it or not, bombing the moutian range into the stone age wasn't even the goal of the session. that was just the distraction.

Aside the "Effectively Unlimited" i got out of a Synchro Cannon once...

Eh...my damages aren't that impressive personally. I do a lot of 40's, 20's...the occasional 100+

Though, when I'm being snarky and prowling around, leaving little presents as i go...well, i've done a few thousand from fusion blocks.

Think my best punch was 58 (also KO'd them). Best melee attack was 265 (leaping, critial attack roll, weapon was x3 vs my target, a demonic magic user, so x5 damage total).

Not very descriptive, but I have time constraints here

Yeah, that's pretty much the highest I've ever gotten as well.

1,000,000 MD to ground zero.
A super-powered character went nova, while two Bursters Super-Fueled the blast.

Sadly enough, that probablly tops the black hole bomb barrage

I'm not sure.... how much damage would a Sperm Whale with supersonic flight and APS:Metal do when hitting the ground from a near low earth orbit starting point?

i tend to be conservative with my shots, so the most i've done was about 800 or so with a volley of 4 HEAP short range missiles fired from my veritech pilot's Alpha.. it was in a megaversal campaign and set on rifts earth, that counts right?
shot at an enemy mecha (macross II VF), rolled a crit.. !BOOM! one pristine enemy turns into a giant fireball..

"Oh no, not again!"

--flatline

All of it. I killed a universe.


....it had it coming.

In a single attack?

Hmm...In my Rifts gaming career, I've probably cast Annihilate half a dozen times or so, so probably in the realm of 600-800MD.

Ignoring Annihilate, the most damage I've probably done in a single attack would have been a burst from a HI-80 Combat Rifle. It's almost certain that at one point or another I rolled the max damage of 90MD.

We were big lovers of fusion blocks, but I don't think any of my characters ever actually set one.

Well not counting RT "destroy everything" class weapon (never got to use anyway). In Macross2 a character took command of one of the human starships (not Macross Cannon, think it was toward the low end scale, been to long) and they way I had it figured would be possible for it alone to take down one of the larger Marduk ships (talking damage in the 10,000s minimum IIRC).

Granted that was a starship, on the more personal level probably in the 100s (not a big fan of large missile volleys).

Edit: In the first RT game I played in, someone (don't think it was me) was responsible for destroying a base by reactivating the self-destruct system. Does that count.

Um. Wow.

OK - I got a crit with a Boom Gun and rolled max damage once. *shrug* Offhand, that's the best I can remember. It made the Full Conversion Borg I shot in the back (sniping) surrender immediately (he fell to his knees with his hands behind his head, not moving, while the rest of his people fought...he figured he was dead if that was a single shot and he fought back).

360MD isn't bad though, given that it was ordinary damage and not crazy stuff.

/Sub

Meh, i didn't count explosives. Too easy to get massive damage out of them.

Though there was one time I shoved a fusion block into a subdermal cavity of a borg's fleshy covering, then knocked him off the side of a dock into the water. When the block went off, the GM ruled it did triple damage from being underwater and partially inside the target. Rolled max, so 720.

Made a hell of a splash.

You will have to forgive me, as my stories are going to all be other players in my games, as I about always GM.

Before I learned that multipliers are usually added up by one and not combined (nice, clear rules ), many moons ago on Wormwood, an Apoc swung a runesword at an Armoured. Now, if memory serves, it went something like 1D4x10 (sword) x2 (Apoc) x3 (Armoured vulnerability to rune) x2 (natural 20) = 480MDC. Now I am pretty sure the damage would be much different, I don't know if I always just missed the rule about x2+x2 = x3, or if it was just implied because that's how 'other' games systems do it or what, but I am also pretty sure that the Apoc would add his punch damage or PS bonus or something to the hit as well (I am sure that works differently than it used to as well).

When I introduced a group to Rifts some years ago, one of the girls was played a GB pilot. Against a random roll intelligent monster (TW cyborg cross), who had a flaming sword one of the other players wanted, she fired her first shot, a 20, and 170 damage, so 340. Dead monster. "Is the sword still there?" "No."

Lastly, in a recent game (played using the 'classic' rules, RMB + Conversion and Sourcebook 1), although not crazy damage, our resident Juicer finally got to live his 5 attack dream with his JA-11. First attack, full clip burst (E-Clip) 3D6x7. Second attack, full clip burst (cannister) 3D6x7, third attack, reload clip, fourth attack, full clip burst (3D6x7), fifth attack, draw pistol. He was pretty darned proud at his mad Xiticix killing skills.

My Cyber Knight hit a Master Vampire in the eye with a Millennium Tree Arrow. I was not allowed to roll damage but it would have been 2d6x100+1200x2 hit points.

I don't get that one, rat_bastard, can you explain those numbers to me?

Millennium tree weapons to mega damage to vampires, My bow does 2d6, the arrow does +6 damage, the arrowhead was make of millennium tree wood (English herbalist druids OCC can reshape plants like clay, we took a throwing stick and made a dozen arrowheads out of it and mounted them on 12 Oak Scathach arrows (double range, +6 damage, +1 to strike). I also have the Archery mastery and specialization from rifter #30 (by far the best rifter because of article, only go mental comes close.).

So 2d6 + arrow bonus (+6) + skill bonus +6 x2 (critical hit) converted into mega damage on a hit point creature means master vamp went piff.
