Forums of the Megaverse®

The OP states it's a third level character, with one selection being permanency. OP said they're 3rd level and want permanency. These line drawings are not commonly taught to beginning line makers. Advanced adepts (6th level and higher) who have performed a valuable service for the city of Nazca or...

Tell me you guys aren't relying on NPCs to determine characteristics of T-men... please...

Getting 7+ magic tattoos makes you the minor supernatural being with SN strength/endurance and MDC. There's no "if you're Atlantean" garbage. Any T-man with 7+ tattoos gets this.

If a 3rd level Line Maker only has the 12 Line drawings they learn from leveling, one of which being Permanency, and the animals above aren't available, I'd consider focusing on utility stuff and Protection Circle:Simple/Summon Entity instead of Animal/Monster drawings. There's some value in a smal...

... even the god Thoth himself (spell save of 17) - who is supposed to know more about magic than pretty much anyone in the Palladium Megaverse. For reference, Thoth is a 30th level Diabolist, 20th level Rune Master (the last?), 20th level Wizard, 15th level Summoner, and a 20th level Alchemist ......

No one said anything about fighting Gods, though, other than you. My post wasn't, "hey, if you have a higher spell strength than Thoth, it means you can beat Thoth!" Well, no... it doesn't. But it does mean your magic is more potent than Thoth's magic, which doesn't make any sense at all ...

You could go with a summoner who likes to summon and force angels to do his dirty work. The party must fight them, but needs to at least try not to kill. That's actually quite difficult to pull off. Have you seen the M.E. (and save bonuses) of Spirits of Light? Not to mention the bonuses to break f...

Why not? it's not too difficult to wind up with a PC who's stronger than Thor, or has higher combat bonuses than Ares. This, in and of itself, is a problem. No single PC should be more powerful than a god. Full stop. I've seen players exploit and abuse the system to have PS higher than Atlas.. you ...

16 is the maximum without any bonuses that come from something over than leveling. Where are you getting this from? Source? This would likely allow them to reach Spell Strength 18. Several Gods have a spell strength of 18, so it A: proves that it is possible to break 16, at least for divine beings,...

Magic : 12-16 depending on the power level of the spell caster. 16 or higher to save vs ritual magic. Shifters with a link to the supernatural (Gods of Magic) get to enjoy additional spell strength bonuses; in theory - if there were no maximum - this would allow them to exceed the maximum shown sav...

It's also not just about birth and death rates, but the female reproductive system . Note that women in our modern world weren't able to join the workforce and really get out and do much until reproduction (and, to a lesser extent, the menstrual cycle) was more controlled. It had very little to do w...

I don't really pay attention to the addiction rules, since they are based on outdated concepts of addiction in the first place, IMO. I don't think they model 'real life' very well at all. I sort of agree and disagree at the same time: I like how they allow you to become an addict, and the consequen...

The importance of disease resistance in Fantasy has been the subject of a rigorous debate on these forums a while back in a discussion that was originally about in-game male dominance . Ugh. I'm going to avoid that topic like the feminist plague it is. Actually, it was a pretty far cry from what yo...

Might be because the OP didn't ask for the game rule answer.

Ugh. I'm going to avoid that topic like the feminist plague it is.

That's a bit of a stretch, as it's not like that was the first time in history people ever "spoke in tongues"

Anyone in the Portland (Oregon, not Maine) area interested in Rifts or PFRPG?

We also avoid of this hassle by prohibiting Miscreant, Anarchist, Diabolic PCs... and only rarely allowing Abberant. I don't see how this solves anything, unless you're one of the folks who think your actions will follow your alignment (rather than the other way around). Personally, I think PvP in ...

Well, I’m back with more bizarre and specific spell questions. Tongues “enables the character to perfectly understand and speak all spoken languages at 98%...”. That seems simple, but how does the caster know which language to use when speaking with a stranger? That makes the spell much less useful...

I wouldn't require it, but I'd give fugly penalties if you don't have it.

Looking for some unique and new NPC monsters that can give my players a challenge for a very high level campaign. All level 11+. So if anyone has any good ideas or old creations in their folders collecting dust could use some inspiration. Not just vanilla big monsters with lots of SDC and high dama...

Um, guys...Not to be a jerk, but there are a lot of things that are as powerful if not more so that a wizard can create. Golems for example. Yeah i wanted to create a golem and transfer my soul into it but the going crazy part was a little much for an insane warlock Depends on how quickly time pass...

Don't forget that a character with a P.E. of 30 is also effectively immune to disease - a pretty important consideration in the world of PF, especially.

This is from the RUE rules, but it's a pretty reasonable extrapolation for PF as well, IMO.

I would not allow it to create the multiple images more than once. If you cast it again, your original images are replaced by new ones.

Nothing, besides the GM availability, can prevent a Summoner from learning all the Circles while at Level 1. Nothing besides having half a brain, maybe. What a ridiculous idea. Only works well with straight-up conflict. Even something as simple as "spare the women and children" is bound t...

They really aren't that powerful at all. In their respective sphere (especially if in their geographical area), and given time to prepare properly, they can be strong. But I wouldn't say overpowered... As flatline pointed out, the stuff from SA1&2 was probably a bit on the overpowered side when ...

Sure Its a parry, not a block. Parrying can be done automatically (without using a melee attack/action) by anyone trained in any form of hand to hand combat. A parry blocks the attacker's strike , preventing damage from being inflicted. (emphasis mine). A parry, according to the rules, is a block. ...

A core rules book that supercedes all other "core" books would be helpful.

Isn't RUE that book?
