How do you pronounce it? Crying or Ripping?

Aermas

The tool needs to make some kind of cognizant communitive coherence. A fog machine for cloud spells, or even just some sort of machine/tool that could potentially generate smoke/mist like an oven. As for fear, I'd use a flashlight under the chin because the subconscious resonance that EVERYONE tells...

Aermas

Which suit exactly?

Aermas

By "straightforward" I just mean an option with some rules or guidelines already existing. Something pre-existing, not something homebrewed. Something that would have the least GM fiat

Aermas

The only thing in the PB gamebooks I know of that acts something like this is the Greater Artifacts in the NB game. Though the armor option for greater art. is plate armor of some sort it does grant 3-4 very potent magical buffs. Megaverse in Flames has a demon chick with rune armor that disappears...

"Oh look, there's a giant man-sized duck swimming over there. It's either a mutant, a d-bee monster, or something masquerading as a duck. Let's not take any chances!" BOOM! As apposed to? "Oh look, there's a soldier in armor with a gun swimming over there. It's either a murderous &qu...

Aermas

It doesn't have to be a tech only solution. As long as it's straightforward in the rules & I'm not homebrewing it

Aermas

I think both of these posts are great ideas. Long before the chaos earth books or the revised SB1 I had an idea for a group of military that had been warned by psychics about a coming disaster, and they were the ones in the cryogenic pods. My idea would have been the they woke up roughly 100 years ...

Aermas

Is there any straightforward method to make something like power armor to transmute or shrink is some fashion to become a bracer? Unless you come up with some method of "mass shifting", retracting everything into a single housing has the draw back that the mass is now all concentrated int...

Aermas

They are actually Phaseworld humans on an Arc ship thatcrashed. Now the party has access to limited Phaseworld tech, but they'll have to figure out what to do with the sleepers & any rogue security Defenses in place

Aermas

I would say that you get the effect of the psi-power, but still requires PPE, not ISP, to activate. This is the case with Beautiful Dancer / Hypnotic Suggestion. It has got me thinking that since making magic tattoos is one of those mystical arts highly limited to talented beings of incredible powe...

Aermas

It's for a True Atlantean TW. The idea is to install various cool pieces of tech & magic functions into a light power armor. I want him to be able to don it at a moments notice though, he's a wanderer so the idea of hauling it in a flatbed & spending minutes booting it up would be kind of la...

Aermas

I just love designing things, specifically i really like designing things inside a box. So abe's idea of a a specifically themed amphibious power armor suit/combat system appeals to my sensibilities. I could 100% see juicers in with a nuclear powered mini fanboat jetpack contraptions hiding in marsh...

Aermas

I think he was just making a joke of a psystalker in duck armor would be a psy-duck.

Aermas

The CS tolerates psi-stalkers due to their usefulness and human origins. Obvious d-bees? Not so much . Duck armor would wind up being skeet for opposition forces with personal heavy artillery...with the opposition declaring 'no bag limit' on the taking of them. Okay but what if it is just armor dev...

Aermas

Maybe they dispatched the notorious Psi-Stalker Fudd, but he got blown to smithereens

Aermas

The duck drones are small & are a about the size of a football. Hueys have a stock of grenades/bombs & can relay a detonation signal over a greater range. Multiple Hueys can even be chained along a great distance passing the detonation signal from the drone operator in needed. It can be equi...

Aermas

Make then Juicers special edition for water. Duck armor can be a light power armor suit exclusive to this Juicer OCC. It comes with a Combat Flight System like the Icaris/Condor but using Sea Samas tech for water. It sits high on the shoulder & is buoyant so a soldier wearing it looks like a duc...

Aermas

Link to previous duck thread?

Aermas

Yes, but I still just don't see where they get it from. Kinda goes against everything in the books stated about any of the three characters. Makes me want to point out that drugs are bad or something lol. They share a surprising number of traits & Erin Tarn knows a LOT about the Prosek family. ...

Aermas

Would it be weird/bad for a Clan of Atlanteans to have a Mark of Heritage magic tattoo that allowed them the Psi-Sword Psi-Power? There's a few Tattoos that that grant psychic abilities when activated like the dancer giving Hypnotic Suggestion.

Aermas

People change. The older generation of two diametrically opposed forces once being friends/lovers is a classic trope too. They are of similar age, Erin grew up in CS territory, etc. Plus it just makes for a great narrative. The grumpy military man fell for the idealistic hippie girl. They marry they...

Aermas

The simplest would be to allow Rune Weapons to also copy certain abilities of non-rune magic weapons. Like a Mystic Fury Blade giving you twice as many attacks. Or mecurial blades being hidden in a flask, etc.

Aermas

Thanks for the assessments. I had stumbled upon Astral Lords & when I read about them I thought it would be fun if Prosek was secretly one, & that was the key to his success. Plus I like the idea of him forcing D-Bees & traitors/captured mages/etc. Into adding their PPE to his Domain &am...

Aermas

Because I want to flex on Warlock Marines & match the strength of Demons in the Minion War

Aermas

Wards on the level/range of a Diabolist might be out of their range of expertise, but they do have access to Wards via the Wizard's Invocation list (10th Level Invocation "Wards" that has a limited selection of said) as far back as RMB (wording maintained in RUE) technically (I say techni...

Aermas

If one were able to communicate directly with a friendly tectonic entity, it could inhabit a PA I didn't consider that... but that would mean having the possibly of my Armor walking off without me in it... Another question for the thread if I may; can Techno-Wizards create Wards? It makes no sense ...

Aermas

There is a lot that we bake into the idea of a soldier O.C.C.: the concept of a professional, standing Army, the concept of standardized and centralized training, the concept of industrialized logistics, the concept of standardin! zed equipment, and the concept of a chain of command structure. But ...

Aermas

Ah that's fantastic! I didn't realize Diabolist Wards could do that. I'm surprised I haven't seen that used as an option more often.

Edit> Supernatural Agility would be REALLY fun to install with a ward, like an imitation Juicer Harness

Stats for Erin Tarn (Lady Prosek) are in Africa, idk if those are the most current though.

Aermas

Is there a permanent way to add Supernatural P.S. to a set of power armor? Either using an Alchemist or some technology? I know there's a variety of TW augments & weapons who can kind of do it but they all have time limits.

Aermas

An O.C.C.C. Book if you will The Occupational Career Class Catalog! I think something that could help with bloat & overlap is to expand & change the way O.C.C. Related skills work & to add more Catagories but have them share from a skill pool. In example, an Cowboy Ride skill would start...

Aermas

Fair enough... as I said... headcanon. Would love to hear other opinions. As to cloak color - magenta with light blue starbursts and a black border? Very vapor wave. the very fact they can pop into their personal astral plane-space would by the CS's own understanding of things make them a D-Bee (in...

Aermas

Well... you can have that opinion, I don't agree with it but let's just operate under the idea that the CS wants this guy, & they will treat him like any other valuable Psychic.

Aermas

Why would you think they would be so abused? They are nonmagical & a human that has truly become the master of their own world.

Theoretically you can have an Astral Lord born on RIFTS Earth. Theoretically an Astral Lord can be born in the C.S. & besides the stigma of being a Psychic, go far in its hierarchy. My question becomes, how would an Astral Lord benefit the C.S. the most? Merely resource creation? Transportation?...

Aermas

I absolutely hate crapsack worlds of misery designed to only demoralize people. My worlds/settings can be harsh, but never without hope. The good guys always win. Good always triumphs over evil. Just because you failed doesn't mean evil wins. A noble death of a hero might become the rallying force o...

Aermas

Also, my previous point stands, how can the CS determine that ANY GIVEN CREATURE is "native"? I mean, they literally made several slave races. They took DNA from native creatures and custom-built slave races, who they then control the production and reproduction of. "We can't tell if...

Aermas

the mistake you're making is you're arguing using their framing of things, and their framing of things is itself evil. even if you academically disagree, you're tacitly advocating their position by using their language and "i don't MEAN it i'm just saying-" is itself a common method of fa...

Aermas

Might I suggest that if you want to engage in a detailed defence of Facism that you 1)This thread isn't the place to do it and 2)Just don't. Create a new thread in which I am a variety of others will be happy to denounce your Fascist apologia. I'm not defending real fascism in any way shape or form...

Aermas

Isn't there some named internet law about no matter how satirical a depiction of fascism is it will be increasingly taken at face value by consumers? Warhammer, as I understand it, is a good example of this. I'm sure back in the last millennium giving the supremacist nation a debilitating skull fet...

Aermas

Agreeing with Aermas, I'd also allow it; however, I'd go so far as to allow the TW to channel through the vehicle (I see the vehicle as a whole, rather than a collection of parts), as long as the integrated component is fit for the spell's purpose. The rules for the TW are written in a way that is ...

Aermas

For all you say "They're protecting humanity's right to their own planet", consider that they also make sophont slave races out of those same natives of the planet. Or relegate many natives of that planet (psychics) to 2nd class citizen status, or worse (hello, psi-stalkers). And that's w...

Aermas

I would allow it as long as you were relatively close/touching the component. Like using a light spell through the headlights, you'd have to touch the electrical switch or components to cast it, you can't just be locked in a box & channeling it through the entire vehicle.

Aermas

listen, you don't get to argue what the CS is doing strictly from the viewpoint of the CS. tolkeen and lazlo both have been mentioned opposing splugorth, the xixtickx, and other evil factions, and the openly racist argument that some of the people they're protecting aren't "human" for the...

Aermas

they aren't the only power doing that, they're the only power that gets detailed doing that. Both tolkeen and lazlo have mentions of doing that but they're good guys and rifts writers are allergic to letting the good guys do anything cool. Yes they are. Lazlo, & Tolkeen etc. are okay with cohab...

Aermas

Stop pretending that Coalition soldiers are heroes. They are the only North American force still fighting a global invasion by forces that want to eat human souls, enslave humans, genocide humans, etc. An invasion that has spanned centuries. Not every D-Bee is a threat but the Minion War, the bugs,...

Aermas

Piggybacking off of this question because now I'm curious. If a TW converted an Icarus, could they use their TW piloting skill?
