Shadow Blast is averagely efficent, which is to say not efficent at all. an average hound has 200 SDC and about 40 HP, meaning it takes roughly 95 PPE of shadow bolts to kill one; and given that you are capped at spending no more than 4 P.P.E. per level in one blast, if your mid level, say 6, it wi...

Penalty: Permanently reduce Hit Points and physical S.D.C. by 10% (by 30% if the character has more than 250 points to begin with). Note: In a magic rich environment, like Rifts Earth, this power should be considered a Maier super abilll'/, and reduce H.P. and S.D.C. by half and tum them into M.D.C...

Greetings,

Immune to Magic is a Minor power that should be treated as a Major power on magic rich environments... Is Nightbane a magic rich environment for this purpose?

Thanks

Greetings, I have questions about the limits on usage for Swallowing Limbo : 1. Is there a mass / weight limit for characters trapped? I see a limit on non-living objects but not for characters, so what stops me from holding a whale or an elephant there? 2. What happens when the time limit expires a...

I read people swearing by Anti-Arcane, Darkwhip and Shadow Blast, but others dismissing the same talents. So I want to know what is the consensus (if any) about what are the best and worst talents, including but no limited to combat. By best I mean the most bang for your P.P.E. buck, the best effec...

1 The Immortal mega hero power is not 'used'. It just 'is'. So it is not included in any powers that are limited 2 If they are listed that way... yes, otherwise... no. But remember that the HU power cat's are more outlines to be modified, than Set in Admanitium rules like Character Classes. Thanks ...

1. Does the option of "Must Transform into an Inhuman Form to Use Powers" means that certain Mega Powers are useless? If "character returns to his non-super form if rendered unconscious or is slain" then the Immortal MegaPower abilities of resurrection are wasted as those wont wo...

The Sea Inquisitor OCC was a special case. The class comes with magic/psionic cancelling powers (similar to the Nega-Psychic, though not powered by ISP or PPE) an MDC shield, and the ability to do MD when wielding SD weapons against supernatural opponents. The class text mentions that some Sea Inqu...

Night prince's illusions are saved via the magic save mechanic. Why? Because that is what everyone is directed to use. ...as the save clearly states that you save vs magic ,... Take the game book's word that the save vs magic is the save to be used in that situation. Horrific Illusion: the save vs ...

lbeaumanior

Step one: Defining some things. The save vs magic is for saving vs magic cast on your char. The save vs illusion is to see through the illusion to know it is fake. If a mage or other magic user casts a spell that creates an illusion, the illusion is hanging their in mid air. And the magic isn't tou...

Greetings, I have some questions about saves: 1. I have +X to save vs magic and +Y to save vs Illusion ; if I face an illusion that says save vs magic (whether is a spell or a creature's ability), what happens? a. Add both X+Y. b. Use the larger value. c. Use only the magic save. d. Use only the ill...

Greetings,

Can someone point me to the where the rules are for multiple O.C.C.s? and the rules for changing O.C.C.'s?

I have seen a lot of theoretical optimization threads, where it is mentioned "being a Sea Inquisitor" on top of other classes, but no rules for it.

Thanks,

lbeaumanior

Two questions: 1. What are your ideas of the first option? The "Nothing can really damage me" guy. 2. What would it be the best single major power generically applicable to this character? I think of Invulnerability , but there might be others not considered. 1: I wouldn't allow it a game...

lbeaumanior

What about a major power for the Wizard option? For the sort of character you're building, I'm not sure. Perhaps either Re-Channel Kinetic Energy or Zombie Flesh, both from Powers Unlimited 3? Multiple Selves on a Wizard character has a lot of potential, too. Suddenly there's a LOT of P.P.E. availa...

I never trade MA powers for skills, nor super abilities for spells. Both the skills and spells can be learned later. Indeed, that was my opinion. Two questions: 1. What are your ideas of the first option? The "Nothing can really damage me" guy. 2. What would it be the best single major po...

Greetings, For a one new game (potentially a long adventure), we are playing on the Nightbane setting, but adding HU and N&S characters options.

Could you clarify what you are espousing here? To have spells instead of super abilities? And super abilities instead of other options like psionics?

lbeaumanior

Agreed. Everything stacks, and PPE is determined by the Godling RCC, not the #10 classes. Yes, it's overpowered. No, none of those munchkin ideas you're having are new. Yes, apparently other magical classes are also acceptable. Warlocks are fine, but have only one life sign, not dual life signs unl...

1. Yes with the exception of P.P.E. which is 3D4X10+20 +4D6 per level. 2. Same as above. P.P.E. is 3D4x10+20 +4D6 per level 3. I believe, and this is pure opinion, that they would stack. Powers Unlimited 2 for Heroes Unlimited has rules for making Godlings too but I doubt that's what you are lookin...

If you go just by what is written in the Immortals category, then the Wizard Supreme is terribly weak. What do you think is the strongest option for Immortals? Besides being a Godling as an origin, I mean in terms of power categories from the list. That discussion would take us off topic and derail...

Can a Vagabond get more than 3 majors and 3 minor superpowers? My understanding is that at Level 1 3M&3m is the max powers. Though if the char is closer to L15 there is a "grows with exp." power table in the HU core books.But I don't think it is available to chars in the Rifts game. -...

That is because there are not even an optional player character. They mainly fall into the 'equipment' box.
