Convert the PC to Vampires and spread the vampirism through coalition.

[*]They absolutely do NOT share the True Demons' capability of 'conditional immortality;' presumably, once they do, they would and should be re-classified as Lesser Demons. I think that's no absolutely true (at least for Hades gargoyles) as they can be reborn through "the host mother" pro...

Please do, I am looking for a reason either way. (First and foremost, this is just a theory I got on the fly, it surely can be rebated and discussed, but at the end of the day that's why we are all in here, don't we? ) Ley line and nexus interact only with living creatures, so they can willingly (a...

Sorry, no conversions allowed. Read forum rules.

Although it really sounds interesting.

You couldn't use Summon Lesser Being to summon a regular human, right?

I do think so.

mobuttu

As per Constrain Being Invocation (RUE212), a lesser supernatural creature are most entities , sub-demons, lesser demons and deevils, Minor elementals and similar. (see Rifts Monster Index ). As per Protection Circle (RUE218): Simple, lesser supernatural creatures includes lesser demons, entities, g...

I can think a supernatural explanation to that, but at the end of the day it's GM call.

- Coalition Grunt template "Dead Boy".

Hope this helps.

That's right. Sorry for the typo.

mobuttu

[1] Megadamage Knockdown is described on RUE345. AFAIK, There is no rule describing a MDC beign going through SDC criatures. I'd say CosKn would deal [1] damage to the zombies (trace a straight "zombie" line in the flying direction and subtract damage from the first to the last until 0 dam...

Like most sub-demons , they lack true mystic might and a grasp of magic, which puts them at the bottom of the demonic hierarchy as slaves, workhorses and lap dogs for smaller and crueler, but more magically potent true demons. This paragraph of Coalition Wars 2 seems to second the idea that sub-dem...

IIRC, not even the lowly Worms of Taut -some of them barely sentient -are called "sub-demons." According to CB1 Worms of Taut aren't real demons. But I get what you say... maybe (I bold it because it's a purely speculative theory on my behalf*), there are so (very) lesser-demons that they...

mobuttu

i don't think that the classifications (sub-, lesser, greater) are racial classifications so much as social standings or ranks. greater demons rank higher as a species in the Hades social standings than lesser demons, and sub-demons are second-class citizens, only higher than the non-demon slaves i...

mobuttu

As I understand, and according to the gargoyles description in SB3 Dark Conversions, the "sub-" category is related more on a hierarchic issue and servitude than to its raw power or capacities (although usually in the demon society they are both related to each other). So, for instance, Tr...

It's not a complete SAMAS tech manual, but you can find here a brief history of SAMAS evolution. :-D

Click on the upper-right button for an automatic google transalition. And don't forget to check the SAMAS Evolution chart at the end of the entry.

Hope you like it!

What book has a decent map of the major lines and nexus points in the great lakes region? The mini-atlas in GMG indicates that the great lakes region is a high magic zone.

Sourcebook 1's Archie story is great, but it really gets good in Sourcebook 2: The Mechanoids. Archie is a great villain, but an even better anti-hero. The only stand-alone "module" I'm aware of (not in another book or an HLS) is the one that came out with the Rifts Gamescreen. It was bas...

Use a modified DHT without CS features. Other possibility would be the Behemoth explorer (without legs and hovercraft or flying capabilities instead - not canon, just an idea I got on the fly).

mobuttu

So have you played Rifts recently? (2-4 weeks) Sure! Do you play regularly? At least, once a year for a short campaign. That's the way our group play every game, btw. Do you like the game but don't play at all? I do like and play it as much as I can. In fact, 'till last campaign it has reached our ...

You could use the double class rules in the "cutting room floor" section on the Palladiumn website.

I generally have Speed = Feet per turn you can move without penalty Speed X 2 == Feet you can move in a combat action Speed x 5 = how many feet you move if all you do is move. this is simple, albeit Can be done simpler if you use KPH, then a combat action equals Speed = Meters per turn in a walk, M...

We built the animal using the AtB rules. As far as the Bio-E allocation. But we used the OCCs from N&SS. As far as SDC, we use the Animal SDC. Thank you! You are welcome. I didn't put a actual size restriction on the PCs. I told them that we are playing in a modified TMNT setting. And sneaking ...

My only question about this simply awsomness is why did it take the Black market to put this combo together at all ? Easy answer. Who is the only "Company" that have the complete schematics to build SAMAS, deal with Magic (if necessary) and don't care about what the CS has to say (partial...

They get artifacts, weapons and armors worth several hundred thousands in credits. They pick anything from the hoard that's needed.

I would have to say that the outer edges are icy that suddenly change to a lush and verdant jungle surrounding a super ley line nexus located at the South Pole (the North Pole has a matching super ley line nexus). The only reason a jungle is there is because of the super ley line nexus. This can fi...

Could you explain the PC construction procedure you apply?

Do you set any animal size restrictions? What SDC do you use?

Considering how Alter Aura can mask See Aura and Sense Evil Invocations I 'd say go for it!

In fact this is the power I use when I want a monster go unnoticed.

mobuttu

Going back to the OP I actually based a whole adventure on a Rawhead (CB3 pg. 60). That monster really inspired me!

Just pick a monster and think how it can mess with PC. I usually pick those they aren't just combat oriented (Dar'ota anyone? - CB3 pg. 73). Have fun!

Glad you all like it!

I'm afraid I can't do it in English units as my computer with the indesign files is not with me by now, and this situation will last some quite time. Sorry!
