I don't know if this Idea has been thrown around already or not; But anyways Why Doesn't PB just take the Offical Material and the Best of the RIFTER Material (ie.Sonny Rice's Stuff for PFRPG) for some of the the Game Lines that have been Lacking some love, gather the Material Up Modify, Add to &...

What O.C.C.'s(R.C.C.) are Restricted from taking the Tumbling Skill as presented in Adventures on the High Seas?

Besides the fact that in the Real World someone can attack via punch or weapon more than Once or Twice untrained (likely to be swing wild and possibly miss), let alone trained(ie. Boxer, Martial Artist amature or Professional, I myself Have a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and can throw more than one att...

Question does anyone know or remember in PFRPG if the Automatic Climb/Rappel skill gained from the Gymnastics or Acrobatics Skill Advances Normally at +5% per Level Exp. or is it Locked at the Base Level Percentage of 40/35% without per Lev. Improvement? I thought that it was mentioned somewhere tha...

Scorpion Leader

The short answer (as far as I understand it) is this: -Ignore Page 32; the standard throughout the book is 1 base I.S.P. per hour of sleep and 2 base I.S.P. for standard meditation. The BTS1 version doesn't work the same anymore due to the "base I.S.P." and the math game you can play via ...

Update is Super Simple the O.C.C. stays the (except adding in the Common Skills if needed). The only difference is P.P.E. which should be changed to 2D6+6 plus 1D6 per level of experience starting at Level 2. and I.S.P remains 0 (Zero). The proximity to Supernatural multipliers are the same Standar...

Hey thanks for the confirmation. It sure is strange. I don't know how that got by editing and why no one else seems to of caught it??

Scorpion Leader

Okay I'm sorry I said my last post would be m last here, but I Forgot to Mention something Very Important for the Protection of HG and Palladium Books. I don't know If Anyone Here is Familiar with Matels Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 Line of Toys and Animated Cartoon in in Syndication?? But just to poin...

Scorpion Leader

Okay after looking through my copy of the Marines Sourcebook I must admit I due like Chuck Walton's ARTWORK for the New Cyclones, The Titan GMU and IFHV Archon. I'm just Mainly disappointed in the MAC and then the other Battloids/Destroids and Zentraedi Mecha cold of been done better and more closer...

Scorpion Leader

New Art Work does Not necessarily mean Complete Make Over/Redesign from established Canon which was Established by HG themselves. Slight changes maybe, as most where, except the MAC. Then again HG did give it a pass for whatever reason. But Then again HG and Palladium did dig themselves a huge Hole ...

Scorpion Leader

Sorry to disagree but over all I was more than a Little Bit Disappointed in the Marines Sourcebook. But most of it is personal Nits with One Very Glaring Exception!! It mkes me wonder where The QCC of Palladium and Most of All Harmony Gold went regarding Official ROBOTECH CANON!! My biggest problem ...

I.s.p. Recovery Rate Rules on pages: 32, 131, 169 and 211(not to mention the Recovery Rates listed for each individual P.C.C.) are different and seem to be in conflict with each other!! I'm assuming the I.S.P.Recovery Rate Listed on p.131 under the Heading I.S.P. is the correct so called (new) "...

Scorpion Leader

Why are there 4 different rules for I.s.p. recovery in BTS2!! Pages: 32, 131, 169, 211(not to mention each P.C.C.) all have a different rule sets on I.s.p. Recovery that conflicts with each other; so which is the correct set of I.s.p. recovery Rules??!!!! Page 32 is a hold over from the BTS 1st Ed. ...

Scorpion Leader

Nits: The Kodiack has MM-20 missile launchers firing medium range missles. The Beta fighter has the same model launchers (MM-20) and only uses short range missles. The Kodiack should be using (and judging by the animation sequences in the episode that it appears) the same (optional) missile launcher...

The Phase-med kit mentions Cybernetic and Bionic systems connected to the Nervous system , not Organic Tissue alone. and Phase technology isn't exactly true Technology, that obeys any rules of physics and its even listed as possibly techno-Wizardy, so how it operates is completely the Game Designer...

Scorpion Leader

Clearly I must see about splicing some organic tissue into all my characters power armor, vehicles, etc. so that they'll promptly become alive as far as phase weapons are concerned thereby ensuring complete protection from their attacks as they're forced to destroy the power armor or other protecti...

Okay here is the MOS' for the Spacer OCC I've been Working On (I haven't gotten to the percent Bonuses yet However, just theMOS Skills lists and they may not even be complete): GAS MINER MOS: Chemistry: Basic (upgrade to Chemistry: Analytical at the cost of one other skill) Advanced Math Pilot: Sma...

Scorpion Leader

Damage: 3d6 SD to humans and other SDC creatures: 4d6 MD to MDC beings and ff. It does not damage armor of any kind! I do believe it says body armor. Phase weapons are also describe as not doing harm to most inanimate objects. Notice: its says most meaning not all such objects will be immune. That ...

You are the one assuming how quasi-mystical technology should react to a given situation, which is odd since you don't have to. The designers have laid out exactly how the quasi-mystical technology they invented in their heads reacts in this situation. It's not like they left a big hole here for yo...

Scorpion Leader

A) If we follow as it says Cyborgs are now considered MDC beings, Phase Weapons do MD damage anyway (and I said should be delt with in this manner previously). C) Phase Weapons do not under usual circumstances do Damage Direct to Hit Points as both sides of the issue like to claim and use as a basi...

Scorpion Leader

The symbosis between man and machine. The brains electrical currents have direct control of the cyborg body. In essence making an extension of the character. A hard situation to work for or against when it comes to phase beamers. I stand by my choice, if only for the sake of the game's balance. Cud...

Scorpion Leader

I would say it has to do with the percentage of living tissue is actually in the cyborg. Which in most cases, to prevent my PCs from being insta-gibbed. I will rule that the Phase Beamer does MDC to the cyborg's armor. That is how my game will be run. Do what you will in yours Thank you for support...

This can be noted on p. 125 of Dimension book Two: Phase World under the listing for Phase-Tech Med Kit. (Qoute):".....Among other things, the med kit can remove bullets, shrapnel, and other foreign objects embedded in a patient's body by turing them insubstantial; the inorganic objects drop r...

If there is nothing changing the rule found in the RGMG, then it still applies. Yes that is correct, if you are reffering to everything I mentioned above from the Gm's guide. As far as I can tell there is Not, not even in RU. Hence we finally agree. Of course then again I would not be suprised if s...

Here is he easy way to work this out. Phase Beamers by pass the armor, doing damage to what living matter it hits. i.e.: if a FCB (brain in a shell) a head shot=death, otherwise the borg be immune. i.e.: Partial con. borg (anything less then 'brain in a shell') does damage to any living parts hit. ...

Shawn you should really consider and use the Bater Skill as an OCC skill. Just think of as a skill in Negotiation(s) for teaties and trade etc.

Cool that is all that can be hope for. The skill may or not fit as an OCC skill, but it is there for consideration.

BTW: Things to keep in mind the only place where it says anything about Phase Energy doing damage direct to HIT Points is in Rifts: Dimension Book 12: Dimentional Outbreak on p.11 under the discription for Centers Planetary Defense Phase Cannons.

Everyone in a different post has over complicated this matter concerning Cyborbs vs. Phase Beamers. The Solution is really simple treat combat and damage as per normal. Why?? Simple: RU p. 47 says Cyborgs are impervious to weapons that do damage direct to hit points (is consider a mega damage being...

Listen I never said Zurvan and Brahma could or would intervene. I just mentioned it as an option more for story telling and as an idea for Palladium Books on how to get out of the Mess; but i'm sure they have that covered already.

This OCC requires a "partner" occ as well. The secret service agent... Corkscrew Galaxy will include an actual Galactic Security Agent OCC (as well as the awesome, nano-augmented Posts)... but in the meantime, you could use the Imperial Security OCC as a guidline. Any of the secret agent ...

Shawn another useful skill (and you can read it in the skill discription)for a diplomat would be Perfomance.
