Maybe. Not fully up to date on all of the changes, yet. However, it does establish a baseline for when to apply Long-Range rolls/penalties, short any other situational bonuses/penalties.

Should characters have any idea what they’re finding in the wild without a skill such as Find Contraband or Weapons Engineer or something else that i’m forgetting.? Yes. People know Energy Rifle when they see it. Do they know how to use that specific type? Maybe not, if just introduced. The real qu...

ranged combat has a target of 8 rather than 4. and ranged bonuses are less common than hth ones, especially at lower levels. but it makes sense that it would be easier to hit someone with a punch or kick than it would be to try and shoot them from dozens or hundreds of feet away. Close Proximity St...

Hello, I am just hoping for some clarification. In melee combat, a roll of 1-4 is considered a miss. Is this understood to be a "natural" 1-4 is always a miss (don't consider bonuses). Considering bonuses, it would seem that even most 1st level characters would only miss in melee combat w...

I'm curious what GMs have done for that iconic hated villain who keeps coming back no matter how many times the group "kills" them. Superpowers, racial abilities, magical spells, what has kept villains coming back to torment the players time and time again? I like using a Dimension-Hoppin...

Hi ya'll, I've tried to research this to the best of my abilities and can find nothing besides U-Rounds in WB:5 Triax & the NGR pg 141 that restricts supernatural bio-regeneration. I'm looking for things that affect demons, deevils, gargoyles, dragons, and the like with significant bio-regenera...

The problem with this that I have found is balancing it out. Its easy to make it either trivial (which either makes emotion powered abilities too easy to fuel) or to important (which can make it too easy to cripple people). The example of claiming that Empathic Transmission is a valid way to automa...

Yeah... I've been looking at that (BIO-E values) and hating it... I already changed how upgrades are handled to make it more reasonable... especially if the player were to lose their host armor... Imagine losing your host armor at level 10... by the rules you are stuck with stage one weaponry/sense...

How is using a weapons system slitting your own wrist? I do not see how employing a good weapon means you are slitting your own wrist. Why would anyone that ruled by might want to spread tech that would allow their enemies (and more importantly, their subjects/slaves) the chance to cripple/destroy ...

Again, that's the wrong question. The question is "Why does no one want to touch this tech?" That's my question. We have one of the greatest tools for space warfare since ever... one that is the cornerstone of the main power armor of the CCW... ...but no one else uses it at all and the CC...

-This technology is screaming to be used by their fighters, their other power armors, all sorts of other uses... but its not. I would limit it to PA, for now (force others to commit resources). Why? No why? You have the greatest anti-ship technology since they started putting airplanes on aircraft ...

Cr'Imson

That's my point. 1) You can't have both stagnentation to the point that new technology is never used AND have technology advance to outpace the rest of the Megaverse. Its sort of one or the other. 2)Not to mention the idea that "well, this amazing device exists because there is a specific nich...

Cr'Imson

*sigh* Okay, I will be excruciatingly specific here War breeds innovation. That is why Naruni still attempts to gain better footing on Rifts Earth. They know that bits of better tech may be had. It is also why we see "OP" type stuff appear nearly everywhere in 3G, but only in bits and pie...

I would buy that argument... ...if the rest of the phase world tech worked like that.

Nightbane WB3: Through the Glass Darkly has some spells that fit with Necro/Bone magic. Tons of Necromancy spells can also be found in many of the Rifters (there is a Magic of the Rifter thread somewhere around here).

My apologies, I misunderstood your complaint. No worries. I'd also be interested in a minion war book for fantasy that actually took things in a new direction and perhaps even showed us some new areas of the world. Yeah, a book that updated the war, that actually brought the war to PF, instead of j...

...If a breakthrough for one side or another is going to happen in Palladium Fantasy, it would be somewhere else on the planet. That is my whole point.

I believe that's already in Land of the Damned 1, in the Great Rift and Blasted Lands section. No advancements/developments on one side or the other?

Necros fall a bit into this category as well. They have some more in combat damage spells as a pure combat caster but their strength again is give them time and resources to build their equipment/skeleton/zombie/mummy numbers and they truly show their power. A necromancer (i.e. "someone with n...

I'm curious what people think is the most power[ful] type/category of magic? Are we talking about strictly magic available to each individual O.C.C. or broader categories of magic types?

It's not the actual building that's the problem. I have Villains unlimited to make the organization. And yeah I've got the rifter for actually building the super bases and what have you.
