Lord_Dalgard, did your IP problem ever get resolved after this thread?

Joseph Kerr

I also get the IP ban. I brought it up to a mod but it never went anywhere. Would love a resolution to this if you get it fixed. I'd like to browse the store and the main page again ...

Heroes Unlimited characters do not adapt well to this particular game. I refuse to convert anything. Just stick with the vast library of sdc books and play the powers as written. Saves a lot of time and aggravation. Though I have made a Robot Exoskeleton that looks striking similar to a SAMAS. lol ...

I never cared for Rifts or any megadamage setting. Reason being somethings in these enviroments run around with 1000's of MDC but you can't play a super? Are you talking about comic book style characters? Because you can. You have two options actually. You can make a Super powered mercenary or conv...

Joseph Kerr

Hello, I realize the potential for a Rifts movie has dwindled since Disneys acquisition of Star Wars, but I also see that companys will compete with similair products. Comic titles were being snatched up left and right for example. Well WB has purchased the rights for a D&D film and are said to ...

Joseph Kerr

Aren't some of these buildings and structures pre-existing that people have just holed up in? What would be the cost of slicing up MDC structures and making walls out of them? Or instead of buying all the materials or slicing up a pre-existing structure, taking the building and just patching up the ...

Let's tackle this one at a time, shall we? Also he has the targeting ability from the OCC, so should he bother with the W.P. Targeting? It would make him that much better. His skills would increase as he levels up. With Uncanny Targeting he's good, sure, but he wouldn't be getting better as he level...

Considering the GB's strength, (Robotic PS of 30), even failing the save, he can likely walk out of it without too much trouble. He's stuck there regardless of his strength. A successfully saving throw will enable him to get out in 2d6 melee rounds, which represents how long it takes him to work hi...

Searched "Jumping" and found this. LEAPING/JUMPING QUESTIONS Question: Someone asked this question in the Beyond The Supernatural forum....and I gotta say, this is a really good question. The only place jumping distances are located to my knowledge is in the FIRST EDITION acrobatics skill....

Heh, now he is really doing good with his role. A laser blast took out everything from his belly-button down. He is mourning the child he might have had (Not really, his char was kinda a jerk before this). But he is developing a real paternal attitude. If this keeps up as good as it has, I might ha...

I am just getting back into rifts after a long time away. Can someone please tell me the first books the Republicans where mentioned and how they know about ARCHIE? Sourcebook 1 Revised and Expanded.

See, I think you're trying to create M.D. Physics in your head, You reasoning is flawed in that physics is physics. There is no S.D. physics or M.D. physics. They are both the same physics.

Joseph Kerr

Sounds good, thanks. Also found this

The horn will regrow about 2 inches a year. A typical horn on an adult white rhino is about 22 inches.

So that helps get an idea of the rate of growth.

Mostly I made this topic to get an idea if my idea for nefarious money scheme would work. Huzzah!

Joseph Kerr

Thank you for your opinion!

I looked up the growth process for a Rhino's horn and apparently they will grow back if the root of the horn is undamaged.

In the case of a broken root I'd say magic or psionics could stimulate the regrowth of the root and the rest of the horn.

Sound fair?

Joseph Kerr

Hello,

I was wondering if a character can regrow a lost horn? If my rhinoceros character got his horn broken off, could magic or psionics be used to help him regrow it quickly? How does that factor into his SDC if it is broken? Is it?

Thanks.

Joseph Kerr

Definitely a Hardware Unlimited book.

The benefit is that we can include Bionics, Robotics, Super Vehicles, as well as new gadgets and guns.

Joseph Kerr

very nice, these have the character spells are suppose to have. Thanks, I have a Mirror Mage in a new game I'm just starting to run. The player wanted a recommendation on a class and I recommended the Mirror Mage without really reading through the class. I had a vague understanding of the class and...

Joseph Kerr

I'm a bit annoyed with the Mirror Mage. I don't feel they have a clearly defined role. They're written up with the goal of being a Mage that taps into the power of the Mirrorwall to fuel their spells at the disadvantage of fracturing it. Only instead of casting lots of spells for cheap and potential...

I was taking a look at the lower level Mirror Magics and decided Reflect Light was useless. My modification merges it with the Lantern Light spell but tweaks it a bit with a few other uses aside from being a light. Mirror Magic Level 2: Reflect Light (Lesser): Duration: 30 minutes per level of exper...

Damage: 4d6 Range: 100 feet plus 40 feet per additional level of experience Duration: Instant Bonus: +2 to strike I.S.P.

The Super Psionic ability that isn't, well, super. I feel Electrokinesis is too weak to be of any use. I'm referring mostly to the power as presented in NB. I've looked through some other books and it appears to be the same. Why doesn't Electrokinesis have more potential in terms of straight damage?...

Joseph Kerr

I'd be up for participating.

Joseph Kerr

If they're not specifically equipped to fight a Vampire, give them opportunities to use the environment to their benefit. I've always felt that players get more into the game if they can make use of their surroundings. For example, if the dungeon is built partially into or from a natural cavern syst...

What program are you using to make it? Other things that I would add are: -random encounter tables -random equipment lists -Quick NPC creation stuff (for a quick combat when things start to slow down and stuff like that) -armor repair rates -salvage rates That is all that I can think of for the mom...

Would it be best to set a Time of day to play, and go to the PB Chat rooms to play ? Isn't that why they exist ? List Day, Time (Eastern, Pacific, whatever...) and let us meet up in the chats. Or we could Start a Thread Here to play, i guess. If you're referring to my game, I would like to get a se...

Music and sound effects are an important aspect of my gaming experience. For example, while the group is busy talking in character amongst themselves, I'll slowly turn down the music. Then scream "Surprise" in an unexpected players ear.

I find it works.

This has sorta been explored along with the fact that Vigilantism is illegal.

The Keene Act in Watchmen. The Registration Act in Marvel.

Well, you do have two options on here in terms of chatrooms. You could possibly run a PbP game in the Game Room Announcement's section of the forum, but you may need to get permission from NMI or similar. As far as dice rolling, I believe both chatrooms here have integrated dice systems. You could a...

Well, you could just try shutting it down by taking away the Ley Lines that power it. I believe you can manage this through a couple of Line Makers from South America. I think they have the ability to turn Ley Lines off or divert and redirect them away from the Pyramid. I may be wrong but if I'm not...

Well the Bigbore is exactly what I was thinking of for knockback. 4 or 5d6 for damage for the jackhammer. Okay. You think increased damage for having the target pinned is excessive.

Some things to consider: In Chaos Earth there is a robot vehicle called the "Big Dog" Super-Mastiff. It stands at about 30 ft tall and weighs 36 tons. Your robot, which stands at about 25 ft, could weigh as much as 30 tons. Having that fall on a player would result in an annoying situation...

For more suggestions on what's summoned, I'd say use a Greater Hound if he summons a greater minion. Two if the players procrastinate or aren't quick enough. Those guy's should rush the PA, and may have been directed to use a living person as a human shield. Also, consider the Dar'Ota as a spy. Slip...

I support the Shifter/Summoner aspect of the plot. Though I have another idea as well. The Shifter/Summoner: The Boogie Man is kidnapping children so that the Shifter can raise enough PPE to tear open a behemoth Rift, letting loose either a mass number of creatures or one to two giant sized monsters...

I'm in the same boat as you.

Joseph Kerr

I assume that the OCC bonuses to OCC skills and related skills reflect "professional" training, i.e.: you're a Mil.Spec. or Spec.Forces and have demolitions or demo. disposal , then you're professionally trained in said skills. This applies to ALL OCC's. Also look under the strength rules...

Joseph Kerr

Thank you! Honestly, that was something I should have noticed. Negative points for me. Question, which you may not be able to answer, why can't someone take other (other than domestic) skills twice and gain the "professional" tag? Also what do you think of allowing a character to re-roll a...

Joseph Kerr

Ah, so, only domestic skills can be learned to a professional level? Demolitions can't?

What book and page numbers for reference, if I may ask.

Thanks!

Joseph Kerr

1. Thanks. 2. A character wanted to take two instances of a skill, wondering if you can gain a bonus with such a selection. I.E.: Demolitions x2. If you can't do that legally, that's fine. However, Rifter #30 has rules pertaining to this? I'll take a look at that. Thanks. 3. Hah! Honestly, slap me o...
