I had found a Tumblr post where someone came up with achievements for D&D (which can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/QuSwR).

And while quite a few of these could also apply to Rifts (and other games as well), it got me thinking. What kind of achievements would Rifts have? I was also thinking about giving XP for earning achievements, such as:

"A Wizard is never late", 20 xp: Be the first person to arrive to the game.

"Put the 'Tard' in 'Tardy'", 1 XP: Be the last person to arrive to the game.

"We spared no expense", 15 xp: Go broke.

"Not today", 100 xp: Come back from 0 HP/MDC.

Umm is the first one not possible. wood may damage a vampire and when through the heart might paralyze them but does not kill them.


Stake them with a pencil

Use a large number of penciles stabbing in the neck to decaptiate vampire while staked--it will take a while, but don't worry it can't fight back

Roll the head 100+ feet away from the body with a pencil

build two massive pyres of thousands of penciles around the head and body

rub two penciles togeather really fast to start a fire, then light both pyres.

it's a lot of work, sure, but 45 EXP ain't free! We don't allow no backflipping in circles crap. you gotta EARN XP these days 8-)

I am sensing that there would probably be an alignment change associated with those (unless the character already was Anarchist, Miscreant, or Diabolic already).

"Wait, you actually track that?!", 1 xp: Downgrade your alignment (Good -> Selfish -> Evil) due to actions by your character.

If you take the kid with you because it is safer than where you found them and before you get the kid a new home something kills the kid, although traumatic would not cause an aliment change. or if you get abandoned because you get lost in time or trapped in another dimension.
