I’d like to have a character with the power to create a costume from thin air. The way Thor, Wonder Woman, or Firestar can instantly appear in costume. What are my options, other than having an armored appearance from Bio-Armor or similar?

Cyber-Knight

How many of you use Powers Unlimited 2 Immortals in Rifts? And if you do, do you think it’s reasonable to mix some of those with other RCC’s? For example, would you find it acceptable to have, say, a True Atlantean Immortal (Demigod)? It’s a demigod, after all, meaning that one parent is a god, so t...

I was wondering if the guy from the cover of Heroes Unlimited has ever been named, statted out, etc. Is there any info on him out there, or is he just a nameless NPC?

Well, if one wants to get technical, the rule is that it’s exclusionary. So unless it specifically excludes something, then it’s not excluded. I get the point, though, that it wasn’t written with that in mind, so talking about technicalities regarding rules that were never written with each other in...

This came up earlier today and I was curious about this. Can a Demigod (Pantheons of the Megaverse) take the Immortal Power Category (Powers Unlimited 2)? I was under the impression Demigods could choose Heroes Unlimited Power Categories with a few exceptions.

Cyber-Knight

I'm looking for as many options for powers which create a suit of armor around you as possible. I'm a bit unsatisfied with the options I know of so far, and I was hoping someone could point me to some other options I may have missed. So far I'm familiar with the following: - Bio-Armor - Ectoplasmic ...

Are there any Heroes Unlimited books that have stats for Energy Weapon Extensions?

Cyber-Knight

I love the Savage Rifts stuff I've seen so far. More books would be MORE than welcome!

Cyber-Knight

I was reading Shemmarian Nation, and thought the idea of ARCHIE-3 have android infiltrators in Atlantis to be interesting. I started wondering, though, why not have those infiltrators start smuggling in the parts for a few WMD's? Sprinkle them around the continent, in major population centers, and b...

I'm curious, do Syplynncryth's forces have access to spaceships on Rifts Earth? If so, why haven't they moved into orbit, yet?

Cyber-Knight

Hundreds of millions of people use the demonym American to refer to everyone in the Americas. The America(s). Not America. Moreover, who in North or South America ever refers to themselves as Americans unless they’re in the United States? I live in a city full of immigrants from all over North and ...

Cyber-Knight

Canadians are Canadians, not Americans (And if we’re referring to the continent, they’re North Americans, which still isn’t American). And I’m thinking more about people who consider themselves Americans or descended, not AI or facilities. Groups of people and organizations.

Cyber-Knight

I’m just wondering what specifically American elements have survived and continued to survive into the present day on Rifts Earth? By that I mean people or groups of people who’ve survived into the present day of Rifts Earth and who still consider themselves to be American. From what I’ve seen, this...

Cyber-Knight

Probably, although IMO, the damage scale in Rifts is wonky to me. Just looking at something like the Devastator in the NGR (or whatever that ginormous robot is called if not that), it's hard for me to imagine it killing Gargoyles at a respectable clip. Those guns on it really should be one-shoting s...

Cyber-Knight

Hah, yeah, I don't mean TW handguns. At the smallest, I'm thinking a TW Glitter Boy. Probably more like a giant TW robot.

Cyber-Knight

What's the best source to go to for reference on creating TW items?

Cyber-Knight

I was just wondering if this existed in the game. If not, is it possible to create some kind of TW weapon which casts the spell Annihilate from Federation of Magic (pg. 158)?

Cyber-Knight

The only power close to that that I can find is Control Elemental Force: Air, and I'm not at all impressed with it. Is there a superior alternative in another book? Thanks.

Cyber-Knight

Powersurge level:2 Mega Immortal. If you're going to keep referencing this character, you may want to include a link in your signature to a posting where we could see the stats of this character and thus know what you're talking about. I see you reference him all the time but I have no clue what th...

Cyber-Knight

Out of curiosity, which ranged power does the most damage per attack (without reducing number of attacks)?

Cyber-Knight

Erin Tarn, so they can nag each other to death.

Cyber-Knight

Just a quick comment: Are there more humans living in the CS than in magic communities like Lazlo, New Lazlo, and Tolkeen? Probably. But it's not enough to simply live, particularly if you're living under an oppressive state, one which actively encourages illiteracy and ignorance. What good is life ...

Cyber-Knight

None, as I'm not playing in one currently. I was just curious to see what kind of potentially powerful combinations of powers people could come up with, as I'm sure there're a lot of people here who're much more creative than me and could come up with pretty powerful combos that I probably wouldn't ...

Cyber-Knight

It's not an explicit limit. And personally, I view that Power Category as a perfect fit, as it can serve as an evolution of the Demigod race. Not all Demigods, after all, are equal. Just look at Greek myth, where some demigods are just exceptional human beings, while others are like Hercules. Some D...

Cyber-Knight

Are there any Major or Minor powers which assume bionics or cybernetics?

I'm talking about the super powers on pages 228-296 of Heroes Unlimited, Conversion Book 1, and so on.

Cyber-Knight

Demigods can choose a Heroes Unlimited Power Category, unless it's a Full conversion cyborg, robot, alien, magic, or mutant animal, so there's nothing explicitly preventing the combo.

Cyber-Knight

Ok, let's say you were trying to create the most powerful Demigod (from Conversion Book 2: Pantheons of the Megaverse) with the Immortal (Godling) Power Category (from Powers Unlimited 2) that you could dream up. What powers would you give that character? Your options are: - 1 Godling power - 1 Mega...

Cyber-Knight

Everyone wants the energy expulsion powers but their low range leads me to think that Alter Limbs into a sniper rifle is ideal, just need a healing power to restore HP you spend on bullets. The PU1 power that lets you link to weapons and generate bullets via HP is also neat, good if you ever have a...

Cyber-Knight

You're wrong.

Cyber-Knight

Yeah, I wasn't able to find a ranged power which satisfied me, at least in comparison to the massive strength that I was able to put on this character. With flight, though, I didn't feel it was really necessary, as I could just fly into melee with anyone who needed a thrashing.

Cyber-Knight

Hmm, I created a similar character once. Demigod Immortal (Godling) with four Major Powers (Invulnerability, Supernatural Strength, Ectoplasmic Armor, Mega Wings), one Minor Power (Extraordinary Physical Prowess), Megahero Immortality, Temporal Wizard powers (1 Godling Power), and several hundred MD...

Who's Powersurge?

Cyber-Knight

I'd like to claim to be sensible enough to need more information to make a solid stance on this (What constitutes "Modern standards" mostly). But Kickstarters are a lot of fun! So to hell with rationality, Kickstarter away! Nobody has claimed that they'd be willing to throw their money aw...

Cyber-Knight

Yep, although you have to admit that I'm far from alone in that. And the Palladium system is one of the great big turn-offs for anyone who might otherwise be interested in checking out Rifts or any other Palladium RPG. (re; I HATE White-mangey mutt games... with passion bordering on pathelogical). I...

Cyber-Knight

Thing is; if you completely re-write the system to say points buy (Exalted, tri-stat) or "Zen" (diceless Re; 'Amber') you kill the game. No ands iffs buts or maybes; it will DIE. Disagree. From what I gather, most people don't play Rifts because they have any great love for the system. Mo...

Cyber-Knight

Eh, conversion rules are a total waste of space for a core rulebook. Part of the goal is to bring in new players. The last thing you need is to saddle them with a book where a large chunk of it features holdovers from the old rules. If there's a conversion guide, it should be a PDF download, but a b...

Cyber-Knight

I'd be willing to put in money just as I dropped some money on the Robotech Kickstarter, but as with anything, it depends entirely on who's working on it and what the final product could potentially look like.

Cyber-Knight

Persisting as things are until the company finally grinds to a halt just seems like a bad idea to me. I think that that'd probably be the best thing for Rifts at this point. Once it grinds to a halt somebody else can buy up the property and relaunch it. Honestly, though, if I were Siembieda I'd giv...

Cyber-Knight

It's been almost 10 years since I've seen or heard of anyone playing Rifts anywhere in my neck of town, so take that for what you will. Honestly, I think the best thing that could happen to Rifts would be for the IP to be sold to another, larger, game company. Or at the very least for Siembieda to s...

There seems to be a strong contingent of mentally deficient posters hanging about here.

Yeah, I have a hard time taking a villain seriously when they can be killed by this. m Anybody can be killed with that. Yep. Just check out the FBI's statistics for deaths by water pistol. Absolutely lethal weapons. Not surprising, when people have an 'oh there's no way THAT could ever hurt someone...

I was wondering, are there any books which features any powers which grant the following ability? 1) Weather Control (The closest I've seen is Control Elemental Force: Air in the main book, and it's pretty weak). 2) Immunity to Knockback If so, could you point me to which books I can find powers whi...

Cyber-Knight

Yeah, I remember playing in a campaign with the Four Horsemen and the GM did nothing interesting. It pretty much WAS a slugging match between the PC's and one of the Horsemen (War, I think), and we literally sat there for hours just rolling d20's and adding up the damage we inflicted on him until he...

That theory doesn't make much sense. She was a prisoner of the Federation of Magic for two years. Erin Tarn, however, has traveled all over the world for decades. How could she have possibly done all that traveling and exploration without being noticed? She's still traveling even after Lady Prosek w...

The 'gripe' being made here is that some folks are essentially trying to handicap the Coalition by making ARCHIE do something smart (speeding up production) while making the Coalition do something that is comparatively stupid (just sitting back and letting ARCHIE do so without adapting in their own...
