I'm confused by how variable initiative works. Example: I've ALWAYS avoided Cyber-Knights and the Mechano-Link power because their situational bonuses to initiative is the one bonus they give that causes my brain to want to implode. They make no sense because (as far as I can tell) any time the abil...

On an unrelated note, Human mutant has no price listed for "other" minor powers. Major powers yes, minor no. (This makes the emperor even MORE illegal)

Ah, that's why my character feels so flat compared to the others... My limited bio-e is because I look human and start at size 10 and I have ~30 less skill than the T-rex because as a Freed Slave I get 14 skills (plus JOAT bonus pulled from Dead Reign) to his 41... (or the Racoons 36 (+JOAT), and as...

So our normal GM is stepping back up to alternate with our current GM while he figures out how to nerf my Titan w/o breaking what I've already done. (At will Invisibility: Superior is OP, who knew. ) So we spent yesterday rolling up ATB characters (A first for me as I have a pathological hatred of f...

Since megaheroes are supernatural creatures a handy weapon of SuperheroSlaying would give other pc's time to shine.

Yeah but ONLY vs Megas...
Also thought it wont kill it does do NASTY things to vampires.

If you want to include Rifter articles then there are the two AWESOME U.S.A.F. specialty armors in rifter 47. The Silent Soldier (SAMAS w/ advanced optic camo) & The Griffin Interceptor (Its a SAMAS that can rotate and lock its wings to become a Tiny Fighter Jet) ^- The Griffin is really fun to ...

The problem with "Seven Years on cerebus" is that you have to run TWO campaigns, and your character WILL hate each other and the Tolkeenites lose ALL of there starting gear (meaning gear oriented characters get the shaft, and juicers die part way through) and do next to nothing for the fir...

And now we know what the Cyber-Horsemen of Ixon wear into battle The only problem is that both centaurs and the Cyber horsemen specifically prohibited any RPA class.

To be fair I would love to see a PC adaptation or a new game, since you know the N-Gage is pretty much dead.
But yeah Rifts run like Fallout 1 or 2 it looks AWESOME, but it is next to impossible to find both an N-Gage and the game.

Spore discharger fires a stream, so can be seen, but in combat things get fuzzy. Your right about the spore dischargers being thought of as the source of damage at first.

My group has only found one place where holding an action made sense w/ the rules. That instance is standing ready to dodge.

As for pacing, I actually feel that Palladium has a pretty good pacing in real world time. When playing, it did always feel a little fast and furious. Like in the OP's example, the Big Bosses covering 600' in 15 seconds is only 30 mph. And doing things like room entry usually ends in short, quick f...

Secondary question came up with the spell, it says the weapon or ammo is destroyed on use. But what if the spell is cast on an Indestructible knife?

The problem isn't what the pilot's should take but what should happen to the vehicle itself.
