breaching the wall is one thing defeating the coalition military is a different matter The alliance as proposed earlier would be able to easily defeat the Coalition. The Republicans The NEMA Army The New Navy The Megaversal Legion Freedom Station The Squilbs Exactly. The NEMA Army, as stated, could...

breaching the wall is one thing defeating the coalition military is a different matter, and the new navy might just stay out of it altogether and advised against it, Obviously the Coalition troops stationed around Chi-Town would have to be defeated in order to breach the walls. I think ARCHIE-3 too...

Cyber-Knight

Not according to Kevin Siembieda. I get the feeling that you have a short term memory problem because you seem to constantly forget things which have already been discussed. As has already been mentioned, they're strong enough to breach the walls of Chi-Town if that's what they wanted to do. They're...

Cyber-Knight

The Coalition and Free Quebec have done far more to make the Splugorth look weak than 30,000 NEMA soldiers who've been in cryo-stasis for 300 years. And who says he wouldn't leave a resurgent NEMA alone for those very same reasons? A new powerful player steps into the field which is philosophically ...

Cyber-Knight

Right, because having his troops being killed by the hundreds if not thousands by the Coalition ISN'T embarassing, but having his troops killed by humans on the east coast over 230 years ago is something he's still smarting over. Really, now? If anything is true about Splynncryth, though, it's this...

Cyber-Knight

And I pointed out that the situation before isn't at all the same as the situation in the present. And you really think he'd go all-out on them because of their equipment ?!? You do realize, right, that the Coalition and Free Quebec also uses a lot of the same equipment? Moreover, taking out 2,000 m...

Cyber-Knight

In that light, then, ANY power on Rifts Earth is vulnerable to annihilation at the hands of the Splugorth. Mech-Viper Prime was arguing that the NEMA troops would be automatically targeted for destruction, but there's no good reason whatsoever why they'd be singled out for destruction in comparison ...

Cyber-Knight

The quote is "Moreover, the upstart nation was making a mockery of the Splugorth by telling other humans they could keep them safe. In a fit of rage from a bruised ego, Lord Splynncryth of Atlantis dispatched 20,000 of his best troops, mostly Kittani and Power Lords, to teach them a lesson. The...

Last time a human kingdom openly embarrassed them was the republicans and doing the following battle they removed that kingdom at least with the retcon, but before the retcon they targeted Archie-3 kingdom he builded and was their god As I posted before, that was the first and last time Splynncryth...

Cyber-Knight

Nah, the Republicans would wake them up. They've got WAY too much invested in bringing them out. As far as they're concerned those are their ancestors and all their plans depend on that army waking up. Without them they don't have any power. That being said, yeah, I imagine that Director Elliot will...

Cyber-Knight

People will snap, crackle, and pop, and while some will truly rise to the occasion(especially if they discover latent telekinetics), others will coast on denial and shock, and still others will go completely bad. Some will see kindred spirits in other embattled lifeforms and seize the opportunities...

Cyber-Knight

Well, as long as we're talking about personal biases, mine is for an alliance between the following powers: The Republicans The NEMA Army The New Navy The Megaversal Legion Freedom Station The Squilbs NEMA, the New Navy, and the Megaversal Legion alone provide 850,000 military personnel! At least 33...

Cyber-Knight

its under the note section, page of wb30 ice cube brigade has never meet them Ah ok, you're right. That doesn't change anything regarding the Coalition, though. It could've been a possibility given that 24,000 of the soldiers who were frozen didn't start off in that base but rather had to fight the...

Cyber-Knight

Disagrees how? They're not mentioned, neither are however many adventures Emmel and his people had before they got to the HQ-ECC. That doesn't mean that those adventures didn't happen, though, and that he couldn't have worked alongside Squilb or other D-Bee's along the way.

Cyber-Knight

The republic he grew up in, or did you suddenly forget that he's an American?

Cyber-Knight

Yeah, a traumatic ordeal which would make them want to survive. Subjecting themselves to Coalition rule, however, is NOT going to help them survive. Odds are, they're more likely to get killed that way, given the Coalition's views on people who know too much. They killed a librarian who saw an old P...

Cyber-Knight

OR he might have been one of those NEMA officers who had Squilb fighting alongside him during the Dark Ages and realize that D-Bee's can be good people, to.

Cyber-Knight

"We will be the army of the New Republic that will restore peace and prosperity to our great nation. We are the hope for the future and we will not fail in that duty." He didn't say they'd build an empire, but a republic. That's a pretty strong hint that he believes and supports the Consti...

Cyber-Knight

Sorry but I don't think they will run to lazlo, no world books aands till so many question about them and since most supernatural being don't really look at humans as equals ,well maybe on the dinner table. You don't think they'd go to Lazlo because... Lazlo doesn't have a world book? I'm fairly ce...

Cyber-Knight

Huh, clever quip from a guy that thinks that 30,000 free men would gladly just submit themselves to a totalitarian police state and risk "disappearing" in the middle of the night. You're the first person I've ever seen to claim that people would willingly flee TO a place like East Germany,...

Cyber-Knight

Yup because they would run off to lazlo, look its dragon let's go follow him because they have a free press. He makes far more sense than a fascist. It's an indisputable fact that the humans in Lazlo are better off than the humans in Chi-Town. And gene enhancement was used by the general population...

Cyber-Knight

ARCHIE has multiple facilities, so it's likely that the Mechanoids never knew about them or ever saw them all. After all, Hagan just found out about an army that ARCHIE's been keeping on ice for a couple centuries. just remember last time a human kingdom stand against atlantis , they took out the en...

Cyber-Knight

Certainly, but I can't see any factor one can reasonably point to and say "NEMA would never work with the New Navy because of that", especially not while pointing at the Coalition and saying "NEMA will eagerly join the Coalition despite all of that." The simple fact of the matter...

Cyber-Knight

i thought that too at first but they might veiw the new navy are traitors and deserters becuase the one thing they didnt do that they easy could have establish a major foothold in north america and try to reclaim former united states So in other words... they'd criticize the New Navy for doing the ...

Cyber-Knight

you do realize there is more to the Coalition States then one city right? Yeah, but Chi-Town's, and Karl Prosek's opinion, is the only one that matters. the famed Lazlo! yeah, the general and his officer knew how bad it was before there little nap, to find out a dragon is running that place. yup cr...

Cyber-Knight

Free press, free speech and democracy aren't military things, those are civilians things, the military just does the job to make sure someone doesn't take them away, but if they are gone then no use fighting for them, all is lefted is the job. Now that's just downright silly. You really think they'...

Cyber-Knight

I don't see it as their using a political party name. They're fighting to create a new republic. One of the definitions of the term "Republican" is "one who favors a republic as the best form of government." The citizens of the NGR (the New German Republic ) who favor their gover...

Cyber-Knight

And what makes you think unleashing a force like this might be a good thing. A general who only has to answer to himself, somehow they just might start a new kingdom one based on military vs a civilian one. You mean like the Coalition? I think the more likely scenario is that, as someone else point...

Cyber-Knight

Well, I finally got the book. Very interesting indeed. And personally I like their gear. The Golden Eagle looks really nice, although I dislike that it's not made of Chromium armor like the Silver Eagle and Glitter Boy. What's the point of its being all shiny and glittery if it's not chromium armor?...

Cyber-Knight

The guy with supernatural strength and a supernaturally durable battle axe must do more damage and be more effective than the guy without the axe because the axe improves the effectiveness of the strike. ONLY according to the laws of physics. BUT according to the laws of physics, Supernatural PS sh...

Cyber-Knight

For one thing, due to the nature of the weapons. A vibro-blade is essentially a contained particle-field by some descriptions, in which case the force you swing it with doesn't real matter any more than it would matter when you're firing a particle beam weapon. Rifts Sourcebook One. "Of course...

Cyber-Knight

We're talking about MD weapons like Vibro-Swords, TW swords, magic swords, and so on. They're not at all comparable to a wooden plank. Agreed. Which is why it's absurd to say, "I do more damage with a wooden plank than I do with my bare hands, therefore a supernatural creature would do more da...

Cyber-Knight

Well if you do use it then you should also use the rule that says that if a weapon attack deals 3x its max damage it risks being broken. I think people see that rule in the book and assume it's for all weapons when it's likely just for SDC weapons. Weapons like Vibro-Swords, TW Flaming Swords, Rune...

Cyber-Knight

That's a false analogy, though, because we're not talking about a 2x4. We're talking about mega-damage weapons being wielded by people with supernatural strength. Would Superman do more damage wielding a 2x4? Of course not. Now, would he do more damage wielding MJOLNIR? Yes he would, and he has. Whe...

Cyber-Knight

That doesn't seem clear at all. We're talking about being who inflict mega-damage bare handed. Why would it explicitly note that they add their PS damage to their hand-to-hand damage (which is mega-damage) if the latter is SDC damage?

Cyber-Knight

RUE 286 I took that section to mean normal SDC weapons, not a MD weapon, like a Vibro-Sword. GMG 26 Ok, the rule here is different from the rule in RUE. In RUE it says: Supernatural Damage and Hand Weapons: When wielding a hand weapon, such as swords, clubs, and knives, supernatural beings inflict ...

Cyber-Knight

So what book and page is this rule in?

Cyber-Knight

Well, *I* did, as did everyone else I ever played with since the 90's. It certainly seems pretty silly in the context of the Cosmo-Knight. What's the point of the massive supernatural strength and the cosmic weapon if their damage doesn't stack?

Cyber-Knight

I was looking through some old threads and they said that dual OCC's are canon legal. If so, where can one find rules for that? (Something tells me the answer to every question I have tonight is going to be "Rifts Conversion Book 1: Revised")

Cyber-Knight

So I heard that you no longer add weapon damage to Supernatural Strength. Is that true? For instance, let's say I have a True Atlantean Undead Slayer. He activates his Two Weapons Crossed/Weapon Covered In Flames tattoos to produce a 4d6 MD sword, as well as his Chain with a Broken Link tattoo which...

Cyber-Knight

I found a preview of the ARCHIE-3 short stories from the book posted on RPG.net. Damn interesting turn of events, although I was REALLY frustrated as the previews only went up to Part 6, right before the last part. D'oh! I want to know what happened when Hagan went to check out Factory 7! :\

Cyber-Knight

And wow, amazing how my half *****/unstoppable-super-hobo-thread turned into a serious rules discussion.

Cyber-Knight

It makes more sense than the alternative, where you spend an entire melee action "winding up", all so you can deliver one super punch which is equal to two punches. In that case, why not just make two separate attacks? What's the advantage of spending an action doing nothing, risking doing...

Cyber-Knight

Yeah, the Coalition could really use a super-soldier division which tries to make humans stronger, tougher, more capable of surviving on Rifts Earth. Maybe it could be headed up by a guy who was an early test subject but for whom the experiment went horribly awry, burning away most of the flesh on h...

Cyber-Knight

if it takes two actions to do, how would it complete on the first action? that is complete and utter nonsense. It doesn't say it takes two actions to complete. "...on a power punch (counts as two melee attacks)". The reasonable reading of that is that someone with 7 Attacks per round woul...

Cyber-Knight

Dear "The Beast",

Why do you hate players so much?

Cyber-Knight

Kind of defeats the point of it, as you get the same exact damage with two separate hits without wasting an action, but oh well.

Cyber-Knight

He's throwing a punch, not casting a spell.
