I mean the sword in Century Station only does 1d6 (4d6) more than normal antique katanas (3d6)

But he mentioned a rune sword earlier, an Impaler, that can cast over 20 spells per day plus possesses all normal psionics, as well as the ability to self-animate/attack, and drain souls. So if the ...

I believe it was just renamed to Side Step

And that's not even a magical weapon at all!

Independent Skill Program, which was brought up I think in a Rifter. You can choose any 4 skills except Modern Weapon Proficiencies and Advanced Piloting. Only downside due to the variety of skills normally inaccessible is you may lose your education bonus, it's split up between all four, as you ...

I go with 0 S.D.C. to start, then added with skills. I mean we have people dying from falling in the tub.

They're essentially animals, not intended to be a PC character, just like a horse doesn't have an XP table, or a rune weapon.

40 for normal humans and humanoids, including mutants. (HU2, pg 16)

Superhumans can go beyond, and it makes a mention of the strength powers, and my take based on the wording, those with Superhuman or Supernatural Strength fit in this category, while those with Extraordinary Strength would still ...

Not every game is going to be like Rifts where magical rune weapons can be easily and cheapily attained at the Splynn Dimensional market, and if they can be easily afforded, then whoever is running that game is doing it wrong. Look at the Bio-Weapons in the Splynn book alone, and they are in the ...

While many Palladium Books have Spell Strength, HU doesn't, but in my games I give it to actual mages and psionic characters!

syntheticlife4m

Yeah, that's how I treat it as well, otherwise there's no point to that sub-class if they're still injured as if wearing regular armor.

Thanks! Yeah that's what I played around with too eventually, was just wondering is there was ever an official answer. Could've sworn I saw one at one point in one of the books or in a Rifter *shoulder shrug*

Hey, I was wondering if there's a comparison (conversion?) for the different physical strengths?

Like say something is in cuffs or a net, and it says, requires a minimum of Supernatural strength 20 to break free... what about the other strengths? Would someone with a normal strength, or a bunch of ...

Are there any stats for the Voracious Absorber? Couldn't even see anything about it in Rifter 44?

NVM, found it on page 80

syntheticlife4m

Did the character on the cover of the book ever get named or have any stats printed? I thought he did, but can't find it in my books.
The character is called USA1 and is described as a "techno-hero" - this is mentioned on page 2 of HU 2nd edition.
I remember Kevin saying somewhere that the concept ...

Well we're talking artificial intelligence, so since it can think and have memories it should be able to have something like total memory, made at least as a purchase option?

Villains Unlimited has the main write-up, but there's also more stuff in Rifter #33, along with G.I.G.M.A. which is like their eyes-and-ears

Rifter #42 has S.C.R.E.T. agencies in Canada, UK, Russia, and other places in the world.

Dang it, I knew there was another article, but couldn't find it ...

So I was wondering for the various GMs out there, if I had a Nanobot Swarm character (from Rifter #37), which is a Mega-Hero option for Robot power categories...

If the robot possessed the skills to program robotics, could it reprogram its own nanites to instead of just repair itself, upgrade ...

syntheticlife4m

Hey I was checking out the Netbook of Skills and saw Nanotechnology and Nanomanufacturing under the Mechanical skills. Are those official skills in one of the books or are they just fan-creations?

syntheticlife4m

Nope, gotta update them yourself. I took their stats and updated them to fit my game, but made them using the rules in Heroes Unlimited 2 and the dual-class Mega Hero rules in Rifter 37

Donatello - Mutant Animal/Analytical Genius ...

I say yes, but increase the height. Otherwise you're saying MDC jets can crash into the ground and suffer no damage. I'd change it to deal 1d6 M.D. per 100 feet fallen, plus 1d6 per 100 MPH

So question on Imbued Heroes, from the "Powers Unlimited 2" book. I have a player who chose the power category and they have them with a bunch of Science and Medical skills, so they want to have them have the ability to conduct additional research into creating future imbuement agents for new powers ...

I'd say 1d6 dmg. per 10 MPH traveled AND per 10 feet traveled

syntheticlife4m

What's ironic is at the time I created it, I coudln't find anyone else who did it, but now after a quick Google, BAM! Like 5 links alone in a few seconds.

syntheticlife4m

Is the character sensitive to sound, like have super-hearing or has sonar themselves? If so, then I'd say make them save or be stunned at the very least.

Thanks for the consult!

Yeah, like I said Munchkin. He kept re-rolling sets of the 8 rolls until he got max rolls for most of the skills, then pretty much went all out on the Physical skills. He managed to buy extra past his P.P.E. because he also spent some I.S.P. to burn. So he basically used some of my cheat sheet (what ...

syntheticlife4m

My main concern was fear of Munchkinism, plus like I said my reasoning was the P.P.E. is still within the body, just fueling their enhanced abilities. I mean if an artifact chooses a Nightbane or magic-user to be their host, they'd be screwed also from the draining of the P.P.E.

Here's a quick ...

My player just pointed this out today, but Guardians and their ability to heal. It says they can heal themselves or others once per round, but then in the same entry, only once per minute.
