You do realize that being a member of a modern civilization or greater is NOT a guarantee to be literate or even be able to more than rudimentary math right? Which is why you can find OCC that don't make Literacy available starting out, or one had to have it selected as an optional skill rather tha...

Nightmaster

The problem with your approach is that unless the character is a college student for at least 3 years, he will only have access to 2 skill programs (looked in the table) and that would make the character have only his O.C.C. skills at the start of the game. Greetings and Salutations. You fo...

Nightmaster

I mused over this matter and I have come with an idea. The player must roll on the education Table as normal, but the rewards/effects would be different and would be additions to his O.C.C./R.C.C.

I am still working on the specifics for the bonus and rewards and any suggestions are welcome

Nightmaster

So the question is: How would you adapt the Heroes Unlimited Education Level table to reflect the O.C.C. system? Greetings and Salutations. Combining the two wouldn't be smooth, but I'd use the Aliens Unlimited Galaxy Guide notes starting on page 190 as a starting point. In the notes it ref...

Nightmaster

I think you're missing a key point here, the OCC you see are representative of classes meant for use as PC and NPC, they aren't meant to be the end-all and be-all of things were everyone's educated to produce one of these specialized educational fields. For the general masses education likely does ...

Nightmaster

Could it not more simple to simple apply a given bonus to OCC skills and related based on the education level of the character and stick with the highest ones in case the education bonus is higher than the OCC bonus? Just an idea

Nightmaster

I might do one of two things... ...write something up for the CC system to let good and bad education systems affect the class skills. As far as I remember the Ed system dont have penalties to skill programs, but your idea is not bad. ...let Ed system chars use some 'Class Skill Sets' as skill prog...

Nightmaster

I always wondered why characters from the Phase World setting dont use the "Education Level" table from Heroes Unlimited. I mean, the setting of the Three Galaxies is one with civilizations that existed for milennias so they are bound to have an educational system ranging from simple pre-s...

Nightmaster

Hi guys, I have a question and a request for you all. In the Rifts Atlantis, on page 155, there's the illustration of the Kittani ATV Hover Jet in its walking form. I have always wondered how it would look like in jet form, but couldt find any illustration (official or fan based) of it in jet form. ...

Nightmaster

The setting as described already raises the possibility of all games existing (if they all play in the palladium 'Megaverse' then either there are multiple megaverses, or they all connect in some way....) This sets aside the fact that there is, as I recall, mention of alternate worlds that have dif...

Nightmaster

I did, that's why my first post said that "The cosmology works better if there isn't multiple versions of cosmic beings. but...if one player in game A Kills Braman with his HyperSuperMegaGigaDeathLaser 18,000,000, does he die in your games too? There are as many megaverses as there are GM's ru...

Nightmaster

Dude... just re-read the Pantheons of the Megaverse book. The entries of SDC/MDC and PPE of each of the gods in there describes how much power they have with Rifts Earth dimension and in another dimension. That clearly indicates that gods are unique in the "Megaverse". The only exception ...

Nightmaster

For major cities I mostly just used real world costs as credits for most basic food stuffs. Outside major cities costs vary wildly and are up to the GM often times its more of a case of I will give you two new pairs of socks for a couple chickens and a loaf of bread type exchange. I know that barte...

I have see in the Palladium Fantasy a list of goods and products one can buy. Also in the Rifts Game Master Guide there's a list of basic equipment one can buy. The problem is that the most important goods are missing in the Rifts version: Food/Drink I dont see to have found so far in any Rifts book...

Nightmaster

Thanks, that would help.

Nightmaster

Well... I asked for help in regard to the Landflier Hover (Warlords of Russia pag 153) max altitude entry that was missing in the book but no one knows if there is an errata for that so, now I am asking for opinions on how high a vehicle like this one would actually fly? I seriously have no idea on ...

Nightmaster

I have recently got my hands on the Rifts Russia book. I have loved the Landflier Hover (pag 153) but it lacks an entry for Max Altitude despiste the fluf text saying that this vehicle actualy flies. There is anywhere an Errata saying the Max Altitude of this vehicle?

Nightmaster

Forgot to mention, best Golem was from 1st ed PRPG. Had no minimum height, so could plausibly make a 1-inch tall Homunculus with full stats, send it to assassinate people, carry a guardian in your pocket. its not that the spells convert oddly, its that the different game lines have different (but s...

Nightmaster

What would make a class feel more Indian? Are you looking for a western stereotype, like yogis and snake charmers? More like things that draw from ancient Hindu folklore and traditional Indian society as well. I am not up to stereotypes. I find then lame. But sometimes just looking at the culture o...

Nightmaster

Helo guys. Iam here to ask for sugestions on OCCs, both mundane and mystical, for a Indian based female character.

I have several books but so far I have not found anything with an "Indian" feel on it. Any sugestions?

Nightmaster

What they look like is irrelevant. There are only two options. Either they are the same biochemically, or they are not the same biochemically. Its a binary set. Any answer can be then solved by looking at the two possible answers. If they are the same biochemically, then terrestrial biology rules w...

Nightmaster

So what your saying is that, some how an alien life form will have an identical biochemical base, and identical genetic structure, the same number of chromosomes, etc. But that it will also some how be different (since we are talking about different races, not sub races, so this is not about differ...

Nightmaster

Well... some points here that I wish to talk about... Gods Vision: Is all ok for Siembieda to say "No Crossbreeds in my universe". Its his creation after all. I am not discussing it. What I am discussing is using science to base a decision to not allow half-breeds in a RPG game universe (t...

Nightmaster

What have you fellow GM changed in the megaverse for your games? What rules, descriptions and explanations have you altered in your games so that you could feel confortable when runing a campaign? Mine where a few things here and there like: 1- Vampires can be killed with normal fire but only when t...

Nightmaster

Its funny that people here state science and munchkinism for the reasons for not allowing half-breeds of any kind...

Just a spell to create havoc with the CS society and High Command:

Soultwist, Rifts Book of Magic, page 145

Take a look and think about the proseks or some of the members of the high command affect by this spell.

Nightmaster

So if I follow what you are saying I should create a RCC using the formula you described. Ok I can do that but there is the problem of applying bonuses to the skills that are innerent to the RCC, like +10% or +5% in a given skill if the demon is a balrog or Shedim and etc. Not a criticism just that ...

Nightmaster

Please ignore this one people. I have created it twice thanks to an error from my PC. Please admins delete or close that one ok

Nightmaster

Well, back after more than 2 years away I have a question for my fellow GMs. How I can convert the demons found in both Hades and Dyval books into RCCs? I have recently brought the two books and was thrilling to see all that demons and the ideias for campaign that one could use but I stumble on one ...

Nightmaster

Good question... I think I would say that no you cant.

Since its a magical matter and the cloned body didnt housed your soul to begin off I guess the ressurection spell would not work because there is not mistical conection between the two.

Nightmaster

Except that the main gun cannot (by logic not the description of the weapon entry) do a double blast on a human sized soldier. Sorry, but we're talking rules as written here. You can't just make up limitations for the tank's main weapon systems as part of the scenario. Actually its not me making up...

Nightmaster

2nd- If you apply a normal flow of combat round you will see that all the excess damage done by the weapons in one soldier would not stack to the next soldier in the pile and thus you would not have a 3.5 soldiers killed every melee action. Re-read my post. I'm treating each soldier individually an...

Nightmaster

Sorry for the long delay but work can be a pain sometimes... Most claims that tanks are "underpowered" or that they can be easily defeated by infantry in Rifts simply aren't accurate. If you're going to make a comparison of tanks vs. infantry in Rifts you really need to compare a fully-cre...

Nightmaster

lets get things strait. Indeed, lets get things straight. Your math is wrong, you're forgetting that tanks invariably have additional weapons systems, get extra attacks , and have multiple crew members for even more attacks and nearly all of them do area effect damage as well as targeting and senso...

Nightmaster

During WW1, WW2 and all wars since the introduction of armored vehicles, with the exception of explosives and some very special weapons, no other weapon could harm a simple Tank! I think the completely wrong is on the other foot on this one, sir. The "impervious armored tank" MYTH started...

Nightmaster

I didn't think the brodkill were flyers. I've got them as ground threats allong with the Simvan which is why I need my players on the ground occaisionally. The boodkills are not fliers but the GeneSplicer have got their hands on some and mutated then with wings, extra arms, lots of more MDC and som...

Nightmaster

Well that is something new. I dindt know that 30mm rounds could destroy a M1A2 Main Battle Tank. As for special materials for the bullets (I am avoiding using the term MDC) there is already special constructed projectiles being used around the world such as full steel bullets, that is, bullets that ...

Nightmaster

Looks like the black wing guys will fit the bill well. AIR Elementals I hadn't even thought about elementals yet. Thanks is there a book of rifts dragons? or is there any information on named dragons on rifts earth? No but you can take a look on the Dragons & Gods book for Palladium Fantasy. Th...

Nightmaster

Monster Broodkill from the Mindwerks book.

Even though they are from Europe that dont mean that a rifts could not bring one to America and besides, GeneSplicers can be found in any part of the world and there are broodkills in America too.

Nightmaster

Devari: I know what you are saying but what I asked is a conceptualization of what could be considered a "MDC" weapon. By Kevin Siembieda a Tank is a modern day MDC structure. How much MDC it have in the main body is irrelevant in this discussion since we are not talking about game mechani...

Nightmaster

There have been many times in history where weapons out-weighed armor, and far less times when armor was extremely effective against most of the weapons available on the battlefield. Sorry but you are completly wrong. During WW1, WW2 and all wars since the introduction of armored vehicles, with the...

Nightmaster

Is that an MDC laser in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Honestly, you'll hurt your brain trying to make the game match real life in this manner. Dont think so. To KS a tank is a MDC structure today Rifts Main Book; page 38; Mega-Damage, S.D.C. and M.D.C.; second paragraph ...Consider t...

Nightmaster

MDC vs SDC is like saying Wood vs Stainless Steel. With an equal thickness you are going to get a order of magnitude higher Damage Capacity. BTW, the rules do not say that 1 MDC is equal to 100 SDC, they say that 100 SDC soaks up that same amount of damage as 1 MDC. The there is ND (Normal Damage) ...

Nightmaster

I have read the thread about making your own ammo and the discussion there make me wonder. What could be called a "MDC" weapon? Let me explain my question. The Game Rules say that 1 MDC equals to 100 SDC. The problem is that game rules dont actually mean RL, it is just a set of mechnics fo...
