The Lyn-Srial on page 133 of the New West World Book 14 have this as a statistic. I can only guess how it works in the game exactly, there doesn't appear to be any explanation about it. I asked the GM of the game I plan on playing a Lyn-Srial Sky-Knight in and they told me that guessed it works a l...

That is something I would like to see addressed as well.

Well SB2 is a good place to start, and it states neuron beasts would work with mechanoids. Cyber-centaurs are another creature they'd tolerate. Maybe the xitixix, but that likely depends on how the bugs react to the mechs, and how good of a relationship the mechs have with the bug creatures from tha...

snip...We all know mages can for a short while, hold and use 50% more P.P.E. than their normal maximum for up to their P.E. attribute in melee rounds (maybe its more in Rifts). Lots of ways of doing this. But what about supernatural beings and creatures of magic, does the same apply to them? A demo...

Well, I don't have the books on me but I remember that the elves were created by the Old Ones, and probably the Wolfen. The Elves were the helpers of the Old ones until they joined the Dragons in revolt. The Wolfen were definitely created, but I forget by whom. I know the Wolfen are much younger as...

Greetings and Salutations. I think I recall a reference to True Atlanteans somewhere being wiped out by a plague. Might have been in Yin-Sloth Jungles book, but I don't recall off the top of my head. I can hunt down the details if you're really interested. That's actually in the IatEotW book. The i...

It's not a good idea to use the head of a pantheon as a reason to justify your powergaming.

The Beast

I always figured Archie would end up being considered one.

The Beast

That's the only one I recall seeing written up.

The Beast

Would it be possible to steal said power and claim it as your own? Because this would be a game-changing event I'd likely not let a PC create a way to do this. This is more of a super villain-type thing to do, so I'd restrict it to a single powerful NPC that the players would have to defeat. Now if...

Group I play with does the same thing.

Only place I'm aware of that talks about deploying the pylons and all that is in CB1, towards the beginning of the book where they're talking about tech stuff before they start going into the conversion stuff.

The Beast

Maybe include what book they are in and the page. Greetings, I have several questions: 1/ Are Phoenixi lesser supernatural creatures? (I am tempted to say yes since creatures such as Lanotaur are confirmed to be lesser supernatural creatures) 2/ How often can the ability burst into flames be used s...

Demons, Gods & Supernatural Beings: All supernatural beings, be they gods or demons, are inhuman and immortal. They are not creatures of our Earth or reality, but denizens of an alien reality. First, I'd like to ask what makes you feel this statement is exclusionary and can only include "g...

I agree.

Thank you. I never read any of the novels.

The Beast

Anyone interested in cluing us all in as to what's being talked about?

The Beast

I'm not entirely sure if a spell with a duration of "Instant" (like Call Lightning) can be made permanent the way you'd like to. I think PFRPG is the one that covers this better.

The Beast

I don't know what "CB26" is supposed to be. Pg 25 of conversion book. I should've said RCB, forgot this wasn't a Rifts thread. No, what you should have said was what book you're talking about. There's four conversion books: CB1 = original conversion book CB1r = the version of that book po...

The CS would crap itself and execute any human from Pre-Rifts Earth. They would be dangerous to Prosek. CB1 states as long as past-Earth humans don't go causing trouble the CS has no problem with them. It also states the same applies to alt-Earth humans that don't have anything that makes them stic...

Groups I've played with used the rules from the CoMW book when this issue came up. Only really ever came up in my first group though.

The Beast

...As for stuff rifting into space, sheesh, I hate that concept. In order for that to be a thing, then there has to be a ley line nexus in orbit, meaning that the ley lines themselves have to be moving at orbital velocities. That would create big bright streaks in the sky on Earth that you could se...

What's wrong with the cactus people?

The Beast

Had an idea for a Crazy a while back... one that knew he was slowly losing it and developed a minor obsession with trying to be normal. So he'd continually be at war with himself trying to keep it under control. Most of the time he'd do alright, but under high stress it would be more likely for the...

Was Archie 3 always in control of the satellite or did he gain control over it later? I believe he was always in control of it. The books don't say either way. (SB1r p92, and Shem Nation p32 & 33) I was under the impression from the Rifter article that he gained communications access through it...

The Beast

I would just use the Soul Drinking saving throw.

The Beast

Well considering both of those events have effects that wouldn't be covered by the spell, no, I wouldn't expect to survive them by using that spell. However I'd still like to know how you're arriving at what the author's intent is.

The Beast

the impervious to energy spell clearly lays out the fact that it makes you impervious to energy, in both the name and the description. if you get shot with 10,000 plasma cannons, you are impervious. there is no weird reading of the rule. just a straight reading of the spell doing exactly what it sa...

The Beast

Personally I'd go with a hybrid version of the two types. I'd have the vampires along with their powers & abilities from Rifter 48 as this will allow you to make more unique vampires than the vanilla ones. They'll also have the added benefit of giving your players goals to reach when they level....

IIRC, it was Tom or some variation of it.

Do the tracks of Sphinx look like a lion? If I find tracks a scene would it look like a Lion's? (I say yes) The size might be different (don't know if they're both the same size or not), but otherwise it should look like a lion print. Do CoM leave things like hair behind? If I walk into a room that...

The Beast

Greetings and Salutations. As stated, it depends on the setting. So, for example, Supernatural punch damage is 4D6 and the character is wielding a 2D6 weapon. In Rifts and Palladium Fantasy, you inflict whichever is greater. So the character would deal 4D6 damage with the sword. This doesn't do...

The Beast

I was looking at the supernatural damage conversion chart for martial art hand to hand in Rifter #3. I realized that a supernatural punch for a PS of 00-15 for example does 4d6 SDC (based on d4) but if the same supernatural character is wielding a sword for example they would only do 1d6-2d6 SDC wo...

The Beast

RUE p261 states that all Dead Boy armor are suitable for space. Which is odd, since the Coalition States have no access to space. I can't remember reading anything about them having any vacuum chambers. I believe I remember reading somewhere that they had tried to access LEO, but all rockets/crews/...

The Beast

Does anyone know of a fillable PDF character sheet for HU that's available online?

The Beast

IMO it looks the two skills got their percentages mixed. I'd go with what each says in their description because it seems less likely that that was when the two skills were mixed up.

The Beast

The typical Juicer has a PS of 23, and can carry 1,840 pounds. (PS * 20 = 460, but Juicers can carry/lift four times as much as someone of equivalent PS... 460 * 4 = 1,840) But a typical Royal Frilled Dragon as a Supernatural PS of 24, and can only carry 1,200 pounds. (PS * 25 = 1,200) So who would...

You don't need to read nearly all the books to reach that conclusion.

Well, with the self quarantine and creeping boredom, I decided to look into online games on Roll 20. As a result, I entred games of D&D 5th Ed and Pathfinder. Both felt really restrictive in comparison to the free-wheeling combat of Palladium. For example, I was in the middle of the initiative ...

Ironically, the "what happens to Vamps in space" thing actually got answered in one of the Phase World books, IIRC. I dont remember the answer, but your post made me think of it. I've been rereading the PW books recently and I haven't seen anything about that. Do you know what it's in ref...

AFAIK they're not.
