Thank you Drewkitty

Ok, so after much thinking and discussing with my group we have decided that 1. Small shields do +1 Parry and large shields +2 Parry and increase by +1 at level 3,6,9,12, & 15 for both large and small 2. 1D4 strike damage (same as a punch) This is the (1D4) listed in the bonuses section 3. 2D4 h...

Apparently, the description is not clear. That was the whole point for the question and the reason I got a few different answers. Is there a difference between strike and hitting? what is hitting and butting, and why does it do 2D4? does that mean you can't do any damage (The 1D4) until 4th level or...

Third Printing 1998 2nd edition
And my copy shows two damage values too.

The first as stated is (1D4) at 4th level which I assume is for adding to the damage increasing it to 3D4 at 4th level

The other paragraph states 2D4 for hitting and butting.

All right. Please don't take this offensively. It is not my intent and remember, body language is also important in understanding someone when they speak. According to 1st edition 5th printing 1988 The Shield does Pg 24 Small LvI. S. /P. /Thr. 1 +0 /+1 /+0 Large S. /P. /Thr. +0 /+2 /+0 Nothing about...

I'm a bit confused here. I'm making a Merc. warrior with a small wood & leather shield and a Dwarven short sword (I chose the +3 damage) and have a strength of 18 (So, a +2 bonus) Dwarven Short Sword DMG - 1D6+5 The confusion comes from the shield damage. Pg 60 says under the Shield W.P. "A...

Thanks Grazzik. That is SUPER USEFUL!

Are there attribute checks? What do they do to open a stuck door? what if a jump is just out of their range by a few inches? Maybe they need a roll to get that one hint to solve the riddle? I only ask because the Attributes go beyond the normal D20 style roll. If the character has an intelligence ov...

Shoot, why does the Genius get a bonus to P.B.? There NERDS!!! as Ogre would say.

I was never under the impression you rolled every round, just the first initial contact. Also, it plainly states the creatures first attack not anyone else's. The problem I am seeing is, if it is just the 1st attack and the rest of the party engages the creature and defends the stumped PC, will the ...

If you fail: the character loses initiative (don’t even roll for it), loses one attack/melee action, and cannot defend himself (no parry or dodge) against the creature’s first attack of that melee round. Does this mean his "first attack" of the melee round as stated, or first attack vs. th...

Thanks for the help

Just so I completely understand. If all the main body MDC is gone and the next shot hits the main body and goes over the A.R. it will insta-kill the CK even though the squishy parts are actually still covered (Such as the head still in Crusader helmet) by the Crusader armor?

Is the point of CK cyber armor just to add that little something extra for when he is out of his regular Body Armor, or does it add extra protection for when the, say main body get punched through? (Using the original Rulebook Crusader Armor 55 M.D.C. main body is finally destroyed. The next shot do...

Another quick question. Does Cyber-Knight get his strength bonus added to his Psi-Sword damage?

If I'm wearing Dead Boy armor and punch a dude, does it do SDC or MDC? I'm talking regular MDC Body Armor, not Power Armor.

I guess what I'm asking then, is if the hand is made of MDC material, and if it has its own power source for movement just connected by brain command. A hydraulic pressured hand that takes commands from the brain kinda thing. if so, would it be MD crushing grip damage? or is it connected and depende...

Like punching someone with a hammer for a fist. The flesh arm is still the source of actual strength the hand is just extra blunt damage. I see.
What about gripping though? would that be MD damage?

I have a player who is starting a headhunter and has the bionic hand with knuckle spikes. I get that the spikes do S.D.C. damage, but what does the actual hand do? Like a slap, punch or even gripping someone. Is that M.D. damage? I always assumed it was.

Nope. I won't be playing anything from Savage Worlds. I prefer the Palladium System. The books may be useful as supplemental material, but I won't play their game system or purchase anything else from them. They did me wrong and they have been placed into "The Book of Grudges"

I think a lot of that has to do with the Game Master. Does a Big Bore shotgun really scare a bunch of hardened Post Apocalypse warriors. No, they have seen stuff to make a ghost poop itself. As for them (Let's say a group of 5th level Rifts Badasses who have never encountered A serious real Demon ti...

Yes, I was taking all 3 into account. Am I to assume you don't get your Armor? I was under the impression you lose the parry, dodge or entangle. I also stated that it could be one whole round as the cut off, not all 13 actions over several rounds. I have to disagree on fights takes a while IRL. Fire...

I was messing around with the idea of adjusting the HF after taking on an Arch Fiend and failing the HF. I re-read the rules and was shocked to see all that I lost was the first Melee ACTION. Then I would recover. This sounded kind of weak for a big scary demon thing looking to squash my tiny human ...

Nashville, Arkansas. Interested Players or Gamemasters. We play a slew of boardgames, tabletop warfare, and TTRPGs including everything Palladium.

We game on Tuesdays nights and every other Saturday.

I am trying to make my first character, The Esper, in Mechanoids (Not Rifts) and I am having trouble understanding the skills part. Do I get all the skills listed below or are those the electives that I choose from? Also, I'm confused on the W.P.. Does everyone get a handgun W.P. ad the ones under t...
