The Palladium World is just one continent... but, if a vampire has to actually sleep on soil, then it doesn't matter what continent they are on, they still need to dig up some earth and put it on their bed/in their coffin. Just being on the correct continent isn't enough (at least in Rifts, Nightba...

Prysus

But all this leads to another question, based on the various PB "sleeps on soil"- how wide is "homeland", and what happens when borders change? Greetings and Salutations. I addressed this a bit above, but if we're using "various PB" rules, then "homeland" is ...

I know someone might answer this out of the Vampire Kingdoms book but I'm not a big Rifts guy so forgive me if this answer lies in one of their books. This isn't the old Dracula who has to sleep in a coffin with the dirt from his homeland. Greetings and Salutations. Since you brought up Rifts ... S...

If Tolkeen had won, all of the cringy CS fan-boys would be weeping uncontrollably. Greetings and Salutations. When I read the above, my brain just translates it to ... "If Tolkeen had won, the thread title would instead be What if the CS Won ..." Which I find interesting, and probably fai...

Greetings and Salutations. Okay, was hoping to avoid breaking this down more, but I think doing so may help (at least some). In this analysis, I'll try to provide information, and the logic/support for both (with as many book references as possible). Let's start with the Dual O.C.C.s (Cutting Room ...

The reason being for the no change/no change to rules is the master psychic classes are built around the idea that the char has built their identity around their psychic powers. As in that they have the idea about having psi powers a part of the char's sense of self so solidly, because to have doub...

Well I did find one book example in the Western Empire page 161 Gauntlets of Quick hands run 500g per SDC. -Vek "How very Prysus of me." Huh? Wha--? I felt a disturbance calling out to me. Greetings and Salutations. First, I'll say that's a nice find, Veknironth. With that said, I'll say ...

Am I to assume you don't get your Armor? Greetings and Salutations. I have no idea what you're talking about here. I was under the impression you lose the parry, dodge or entangle. Okay, so we sound more or less in agreement on this part. I also stated that it could be one whole round as the cut of...

I re-read the rules and was shocked to see all that I lost was the first Melee ACTION. Then I would recover. Greetings and Salutations. For the record, that's not all that Horror Factor does. Failing a Horror Factor results in 3 things. 1: You lose initiative (don't even roll). 2: You lose one atta...

I know this is a bit old, but did this ever get created? Greetings and Salutations. Sorry for the slow response. As stated above, I stopped working on my version when I learned someone else almost had theirs done. I want to say the Greg Diaczyk version was finished, submitted, and briefly mentioned...

Found it, in the mount nimro book page 19 and it doesn't (well for giants) and only applies to hth attacks. Greetings and Salutations. Nice find. I'll try to enter that into my mental database (but I don't promise I'll remember a few years or even months from now, just that I'll try). Farewell and ...

I do know that a bow doesn't calculate in P.S. bonus damage but I do wonder if thrown weapons and slings do add P.S. bonus damage? Greetings and Salutations. I'm unaware of any clarification within the PF2 books. In fact, I think the Ranged Combat rules lack much detail at all. The most I can give ...

Rolling up a palladium character can take up a fair bit of time. Greetings and Salutations. This is very true, though the Palladium Fantasy® Interactive NPC Sheet can help with some basic characters. Most of the races and classes from the main book are pre-generated and can be adjusted for levels, ...

Prysus

however, given the cyber knight must waste a turn every time they activate it, Greetings and Salutations. Which version are you using as a reference? RUE, page 64 (last paragraph on the page that's continued onto the next page): "Years of training makes it so that its creation doesn't even cou...

Prysus

Here's a question - does it work automatically? Greetings and Salutations. I'd say yes. I read your response, but it tries to focus on Palladium Fantasy, and a P.C.C. specific to that setting. This section is Across the Megaverse, and in such situations I'd be more inclined to look at t...

Wasn't there also a "Hand to Hand: Janissary" in Western Empire? Greetings and Salutations. Not to my knowledge. The only official Hand to Hand included in Palladium Fantasy 2nd Edition are ... None Basic Expert Martial Arts Assassin Evasive Combat (Book 2: Monk Scholar) Gladi...

Ok guys, I am drawing a blank here. I remember that there is an additional Hand to Hand skill called HtH: Wild but I cant for the life of me remember which book it is in. Help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance. Greetings and Salutations. There's a HtH: Wild in Rifter 40 on page 35. This i...

What is the difference between Sense Evil (2) and Presense Sense (2)? Which is better if you had to choice one? Greetings and Salutations. ShadowLogan covered a fair bit, but there's one additional point I'd like to add. Sense Evil works automatically, and you don't have...

Prysus

no it was not above 25 as it had a SN strength chart that started with less than 15. (I think it was changed in conversion book 1.) Before the RCB1 came out was when I was talking about. Greetings and Salutations. I just want to be clear, the book you're saying came out before RCB1 is J...

Are there any rules (or rules of thumb) suggested anywhere for grabbing objects/terrain/people, beyond the standard combat grapple ("roll a 4 or more, and as long as they don't roll better to parry, they're grappled")? I'm looking to cover the following situati...

Prysus

It's 2 - I think the description makes it absolutely clear ...[snip] Greetings and Salutations. I double checked by Third and Sixth Printing PF2 books, and as Library Ogre points out above, the quote doesn't explicitly state that it's all per a single activation. Though, by context, I&#...

Prysus

Well, I was wondering what category do shields fall in for magic enchantments? Are the armor or weapons? Greetings and Salutations. This question has come up before, and my stance is this: 1. W.P. Shield is an official skill, and W.P. stands for"Weapon Proficiency." 2. Shields do not poss...

Prysus

Whether or not crosses are useful against vampires on Rifts Earth, I would rule there has to be an actual belief in The Cross and what it stands for, not merely showing a cross-like symbol. Cool. Why? Greetings and Salutations. Well, I'll say I tend to rule similarly in my campaigns. This was b...

Prysus

I would suggest that the Big Bore example, requiring the gun be directed in a specific spatial relation to the HF victim, would clearly fall within the "situation" category of HF. Greetings and Salutations. Yes, it has a situational relation, but it's still fairly nonsensical. A Big B...

Prysus

As far as the argument for a ‘gained invulnerability’ to the requirement of a check against HF, I firmly believe the opposite. Doing a bit of a deep-dive into the elements of HF, I suggest it should be more impactful. I also present some suggested penalties I would add to the current rules in order...

Good day folks! I've been poking around and something caught my fancy. So where we stand right now is picking up horsemanship: General to move from point A to point B with the minimum effort on the part of the character. So I was wondering if I could not pick up the horsemanship and lead the ho...

There are two types that I know of: Elves and Asgardian elves. Greetings and Salutations. As others have pointed out, there are a few other types of Elves as well. And I won't address all the points, but I'll try to touch on some since I'm here. Elves are supposed to be magical creature...

Supernatural strength rules in SDC worlds /games are different than Rifts. IMO RUE supersedes all other rules (RAW) so you take whichever damage is higher. Before RUE there were different rules published in different books, even just in dedicated Rifts books. From memory there was even a ru...

Greetings and Salutations. In Book 3: Adventures on the High Seas, Second Edition (I didn't see it in 1st Edition, but I may have missed it) in the ship section towards the back, before the start of each nations ship stats they describe the flags. For Timiro, it's Blue and Gold with...

So I'm making a Ranger from the main book, pg. 90. I see that and I see the note saying they can get the special superior bowmanship detailed on pg. 83. Greetings and Salutations. I'll start by asking this question: Where in the Ranger O.C.C. on page 90, does it refer the reader back to pag...

But then again, I can't find the TK punch psi power in the PF2 core book so this question would probably better be asked in the Rifts Forum or Magic & Psi forum. Greetings and Salutations. Palladium Fantasy Second Edition page 167, right column, Telekinetic Punch. I'm using a Third Prin...

Prysus

The power doesn't make sense, it says its a force and it has a range of 1ft per level so it's a tk attack, but PS affects the damage so its not a tk attack. This. ^^^ Greetings and Salutations. I was going to bring up the odd design of the power (and that's why I can't really an...

So for the updated Coalition Grunt armor that first appeared in the war campaign book theres a section describing how the armor is capable of reading for the soldier. Now I can understand how that works but me and a friend are curious on the second use. That being the fact the armor can read out th...

For the most part, talismans are inferior to scrolls. Creating a scroll is faster and cheaper in PPE, and able to handle more powerful magics. Greetings and Salutations. As I read this post, I found myself wondering about something. I checked a few places in Palladium Fantasy Second Edition (as...

Prysus

Well, I have it in my memory that PS is +1 to damage for every point above 30 as it goes off the chart. I also seem to remember it's another 3% bonus to skills for each point of IQ, and +1 to S/P/D for every 2 points of PP, etc., but I can't remember where I saw that. I don't see it in ...

Well, we know that paladins are experts in mounted and armored combat so that is why they are so good at all of the karate style kicks. But I wanted to get the board's opinion on the jump kick. On page 45 of the main book it says a jump kick works as a critical strike and doubles the damage inf...

I want to believe the literal words when they are in my favor, as a player, as a GM when I am running the opponant. Greetings and Salutations. Well, what the wording states that it inflicts Agony on whoever it strikes. The only thing I see close to indicating it may negate a save is that it states ...

Greetings and Salutations. So this is now a thing. My hope is that it'll help Game Masters save time in their prep work.

I know in-universe, across the whole Megaverse, PPE isn't actually a tangible, countable/measurable thing (it only is in the rules so we, the players, can count how much we have left and assign it to spells), but does any of the Palladium Games literature tell us what running low on PPE...

So I have a magic user who wants to use the petrification spell If successful, they want to disarm their victim, shackle them or carry them to a prison cell. Then convert them back to flesh the next day. Greetings and Salutations. You summoned me here, so I'll do my best to answer these with my...

What about special abilities such as, "Eye ball a Fella" or "Cartagraphy?" Greetings and Salutations. Cartography (at least the version I looked at) states it can be taken as a Technical skill for the cost of 2 O.C.C. Related skills, so I'd say yes. Eye Ball a Fella ...

I re-read the description of Mind Bond again and again. Put simply, you know the one you Mind Bonded with. You know what they know. You have their mind. NOT their body. So if they know magic you know that same magic but you don't have their PPE. If you get nick picky, let us say you bond with a...

Well, I thought that the spell had been converted into the 2nd edition somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Greetings and Salutations. The conversion was in Rifter #25, Questions & Answers section (starts on page 92), and the spell is found on page93. This references that the Seco...

Well, I missed one important piece of information. The witch said he could see through the dog's eyes. That's much more damning than merely communicating. Greetings and Salutations. Yeah, that definitely gets harder to explain with other possibilities. The custom spell remains an option, an...

Well, we have a witch (pact of magic) in our group, but he isn't telling us he's a witch. It's rather obvious, though, since he has a dog over 25lbs that he says he can communicate with. He has also shown several psionic powers as well as magic spells. [snip] So, I've been t...

For everyone else, I was looking at the Psi-Dampener (Nightbane:Shadows of Light pp 89-90). It seems like the class' Dampening Field ability would react with a currently active Mind Block in perhaps a different way than might be seen with similar abilities, such as those of the Psi-Null...

1st we will go to the, GMB blocking the use of psychics that are not the one producing the GMB. ---In the current Rifts rules Mind block doesn't block the user from using other psi powers that are not listed as blocked in the description of the MB power. So all this harping about "works ju...
