I believe Merc Ops has some stats for pre-rifts military armor and weapons. Also Underseas has some old Marine armor, weapons and vehicles. Don't forget GAW either.

Hey is there any tables, sets, or calculators for damage sustained that isnt really combat damage.? Since it doesn't get a lot of love, I like to use 1D12! Also, the original ROBOTECH main book had some cool physical damage tables for both critical injuries as well as sustaining great damage. Check...

You can also use the robot creation rules in Revised Sourcebook 1. That's what I use in a pinch and it's quite good.

My question to the GMs who play Dead Reign do you purposely gross out your players? Example: Having your players coming across a deluded zombie lover giving mouth to mouth with a Worm Meat zombie because she think *he* is sick and having the Worm Meat zombie yaking up a lung full of maggots/worms a...

I've been playing a lot Destiny of late, which I would consider to be a RPG/FPS hybrid in that you use the shooting mechanics of traditional FPS games, but you also have the character customization and weapon/armor looting of your typical videogame RPGs. All of the better guns in the game have sele...

I doubt it's helpful, but I usually default to the individual write up as to whether or not a given RCC can select an OCC or not. But I also tend to limit OCC and RCC selections to the specific setting my group is going to be playing in or an approved out of setting OCC/RCC so the need for a master ...

PG 203 RUE Under the Spell: Invisibility: Simple.

Up to 5 of them can merge together at a time into a larger version of themselves, so just summon them in batches of 5?

I believe the required 12 to hit for a called shot has been removed as of RUE, at least I can no longer find it. I do know that called shots now require 2 actions and aimed, called shots require 3. In my games, shooting targets behind cover requires a called shot for partial cover and a clear line ...

Thanks, I took a look and wasn't able to find anything. It's probably in the BoM somewhere.

Thanks for all the replies! In my game, demons usually rely on subterfuge and manipulation for most of their plots. They wouldnt reveal themselves until the last possible moment, either when things are going really well, or horribly bad. Maybe they wanna feed on the blood of a great warrior, or show...

Fellow Game Masters, If a creature can turn invisible at will, does the invisibility stay active if the creature enters combat? What is your ruling and why? My gut says "no" and I really like the explanation of how that scenario works (and what bonuses/advantage is imparted) in the case of...

Grell

Thanks for your reply! How often do your players try and save the poor soul that plays host to their demonic guest? There's a willing host/demon NPC in Creatures of Chaos, I think. Can't remember the name at the moment, but that sounds like the same basic idea though. I used a pair of NPCs that were...

Grell

Demons have a multitude of natural advantages at their disposal, but like a mortal adversary, I'm sure they also have their own toys and tricks. What kind of equipment do your demonic adversaries carry with themselves against the player characters? Do you use them as written or do you add your own s...

As a general rule, I don't allow content from the Rifter but powers from the books I usually allow without additional restriction unless it's not appropriate for the current campaign. I have never disallowed a power for being too weak though...

Make your saving throws?

Grell

I like it! How about some generic bandits?

Grell

I think this game could do with some organized changes. The creativity of the setting deserves more. Currently it's basically that one RPG your friend designed in college that only works when he runs it. While this assessment made me chuckle, I don't think it's THAT bad. It definitely does take som...

Grell

I'm not familiar with it, so I'll just inquire as to what it looks like to YOU?

Grell

I always assumed that the breeds as written were more or less "mixed" with the dominant breed in the mix determining the bonuses given. In my games, I do run with this assumption.

Grell

Any particular reason behind your selections?

Grell

Hey friends, I need some advice on three minor super abilities that would pair well with APS: Blood. If you could briefly explain your selections, that would also be helpful.

Thanks!

Grell

I chose an air warlock. I like the spell selections and the spell level assignments.

Grell

I watched 15 minutes of the pilot and hated it so very much. My friend watches it and has generally good things to say and I also caught the Half-Living character from hearing his stories about it. It seems like that character is portrayed very effectively, for the most part.

Grell

I propose a campaign idea and see if I can get at least 4 of my players on board. If so, game on. If not, propose something else.

My group has multiple GMs, but our campaigns are all independent ventures.

Grell

A Death's Head could have more than two areas, in which case the C-5 layout would be a good example to draw upon for floor plans. My assumption is that it only consists of a crew compartment and a cargo hold and wouldn't require any floor plans in order to have a scene inside of it.

Grell

Yes, hence the point of reference.

Grell

As best I can tell it's a crew compartment and a troop compartment, not much else there aside from a possible bulkhead separating the two. If you've ever been inside a C-5 at an air show or something, I imagine it's a lot like that. But to your question, I don't know of any actual floor plans for th...

It depends on what your definition of IS is.

I am now creating a zombie demolition derby event for the merctown battle dome. Awesome. Just think of all the money you'll save on airbags! I should be going to sleep but instead I'm going to type some non-sense. What most people don't know is that it's not the act of installing machinery into the...

Grell

As I recall, they can speak but only in short sentences. I do not believe they are defined as literate or illiterate either way though. Never read anything about them being able to use scrolls that I can remember, but they CAN drive a car so I guess anything's possible.

Grell

(also, what it says is that cameras cannot *record* the writing. in much the same way that your brain can't record the writing and know how to make a scroll of that spell, for example, but that doesn't mean your brain is unable to perceive the writing in the first place). That was my understanding ...

Grell

That seems reasonable.

Grell

I have my players roll for each attribute in order, regardless of chosen character race. I allow bonus die for exceptional rolls on all attributes that DON'T have a static modifier, regardless of race. The formula is based on the human standard with eligible bonus die rolls for attributes that are e...

Grell

Anyone can use a scroll provided they can read the language in which it's written because the scroll itself is pre-charged and only needs the words spoken aloud. Since cybernetic eyes can be equipped with camera features, I would rule that normal 'everyday use' is not considered camera function. I w...

I made a TW Particle Sword (based on Sub-Particle Acceleration and Light Blade spells) for one of my games that used Lightning Arc as a power source. I seem to recall that it's a common spell when used in that capacity, though my memory could be faulty.

Grell

Nerf Gun.

Grell

I can imagine that probably happens a lot.

Grell

I think that hardcore punk would be extremely prevalent in the CS in much the same vein as Aus-Rotten.

Grell

In terms of a Monster Manual, I just compile my own. I will usually have one generic example of a given adversary/monster like a typical Brodkil or a typical Simvan, but I only draw stats for what I will need and this way I have a baseline upon which to adjust them accordingly. This approach works f...

Grell

Another advantage to being led by a sub demon or mortal henchman is that if anything goes wrong, it's the one in charge that pays the price. I think a demon's pride is often trumped by their sense of self preservation.

Grell

Sorry, this should be obvious and I swear I have searched the forums for an answer. Does transforming from Jet to Guardian or Battloid in a Veritech cost an attack? If so is it your next or from your total? I would rule that it does take an action from your total. I don't enforce a loss of next act...

Grell

It seems I voted in good company!

I interpret "at will" to mean there is no obvious tell that it is going to happen and no predetermined limit to its duration, unless the effect is instant like damage or teleport (again, in good company it seems).

Grell

I wouldn't worry about damage and just allow for an automatic death. The character would be using their knowledge of their own body (relative to species) to inflict the maximum amount of harm with the least effort. The biggest barrier would be in overcoming themselves to actually follow through on t...

My point is, its your ship. Captain as you see fit. But mutiny does happen. Most of my players also GM their own adventures with many of the same people more or less, so mutiny is never a concern. If someone doesn't prefer the way I "captain my ship" and wants to leave, I encourage them t...
