You're welcome to them. Most are moderate level say 3rd to 5th.

A few might be "weirdo-combos" like things I was testing and Rifter OCCs or RCCs.

and the list keeps going

-ahem- HOLLLLLLEEEEEE (censored)
Not even I've come up with that many statted PC / NPC's
Heck..I only have maybe 5% of that list..maybe.

Actually I just checked and have almost 350 fully made characters, the last time I did a mass export was a year or two ago.

Some are "quickie tests" and characters I started that never went anywhere, but the majority are decently made and relatively well thought out.

CSPhrett used to post dozens and dozens of characters and there's another guy down inthe HU forum who made all the Deevils/Demons in HU that posts quite a bit (edit it's Mephisto)

So if they need more...

It's decent, handles most RCCs and OCCs but can't handle everything.

What you do is build a RCC template, then an OCC (or PCC, etc) template and then "merge" them. If your RCC has everything like skills and such, then the "merge" is done with a "blank" template.

It then calcs the attributes and displays them. If you don't like it, you hit re-roll and you get a new set of numbers. You can also flick a switch and it'll roll the highest -N dice, so if PS = 4D6, it'll roll 5, take the highest 4 and show those. You can re-roll about 30 sets before it gets fed up and won't do it anymore.

Next it looks at the psionics. If your OCC doesn't have 'em It'll do step #4 for you. You can set it so that it follows the book (1/2 skills and such) or the "just gimme everything" munchkin option. You can also just fix it, so you get Major or Minor psionics, without any rolling.

Next is skills. Takes all the default skills that come with each template and adds those. Then it does OTHER and SECONDARY. It blocks the skill categories and skills that aren't okay to take in the template. So you can't make that Headhunter a Cyberdoc, and vice-versa.

Next it looks to see if you have SPELLS, PSIONICS or SUPER POWERS and allows you to choose the appropriate number for a 1st level character. (all the choices are for a first level character).

Then BIONICS, CYBERNETICS and WEAPONS.

Then you have a first level PC. Then you go in and bump up the levels (it'll bump up PPE, ISP, SDC, MDC and HP and you go along) or you can bump it up to 4th, then back down to 2nd. It'll remember the numbers and save them, stepping back down.

Then you can go into SKILLS and set the level for each skill individually, that way when you're 6th level and add a new skill it starts at 1st. You can also do things like ADD +1 level to every skill so all the 4th become 5th and all the 1st become 2nd, that way when you level up, you're not clicking forever on that Cyber-Knight. You can also edit and change the skills % and bonus. So if your campaign has a skill not in the books, you simply pick another, then change it to fit.

It works pretty good, can't handle everything and I haven't done much with RUE. For instance it can't handle a character with multiple forms (two sets of attributes). However it's quite easy to just make a copy and then alter the 2nd version so that it reflects the were-form or whatever. It still requires the books and knowledge of PB.

You can export to HTML, Text or this BBS in a few button pushes and have the character I posted at your finger tips. You can also make copies and keep a version of your character at each level, just in case you're running a Time Travel campaign or something...and it's always good to back up with computers anyway.

It runs off MSIE and uses XML as the database, as both of those come free with most versions of Windows. It's not web-based, it's just easier to use the browser do display data. It's written in Winbatch language. Took about 6 months to create back in 2003. I got tired of taking 2 hours to make a character in Rifts.

I can make a template in 10-20 minutes and a full character in about the same. Needless to say, I've made 100s and 100s of templates and characters.

why not try submitting it to palladium or emailing kevin it would be ultra awesome if they did a special rue with it packaged along with it
