Without Spoiling too much. I like to read novels because they give me an insight of how other people view the setting (with creative liberties taken of course). So what parts of the setting have you looked into the most. From the preview I'm guessing this will give us a view of Africa and the Phoen...

Kevin has released a new Rifts novel on DriveThruRPG , and physical copies will be ready for order in 2 weeks ( you can pre-order a paperback now ). I am the author and cover artist, and I hope you all get a chance to enjoy this story. Whatever you think of it, I'm happy to take questions, comments...

As a GM I would have it that it does have a mystical aspect. And thus able to harm those that are immune to mundane damage. Destroying a Vampire....I would leave that as a story element y/n. As in, was this vamp just a passing mook, or was this a recurring baddie sort of choice. I totally get that ...

Does this mean (from fleets of the three galaxies) that cosmo-knights do full damage to vampires or at least half damage and can destroy them? Even defining “cosmic energy” is difficult. Scientifically, it is a mixture of protons, alpha particles, and heavy atomic nuclei. It behaves like a laser,bu...

Invulnerability is a major power found in the Heroes Unlimited corebook. That ability renders the toon neigh invincible, invulnerable to most damage. Invincibility doesn't ring a bell. It does for me. This was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the post. I think there are a few cha...

'How would the CK having a FF let their energy resistance come into play verses phase weapons?' is the question I would ask. Since the text you wrote says this is something you think would happen. I think I explained things wrongly then. 1. A Cosmo-Knight with the Force Field option would be immune...

Nuristas

I would say that phase weapons ignore the CK's energy resistance. In the Hammer of the forge chapters I believe there is a fight in there where the bodies pull out phase weapons acting like it is their silver bullet verses CKs. Unless said cosmo-knight took the force field option . Since that utter...

In the year 5,000,000,023.

One final question came up:

How do Phase Weapons interact with a Cosmo-Knights Energy Resistance?
Do they ignore it or do they get reduced to no damage?

I am sure I read about a power of such type in a rifter but I can't seem to find it any more...

RUE pp47 states that Borg are immune to attacks that cause damage direct to hit points. Phase weapons do not do damage direct to hit points. Phase weapons damage organic materials inflicting SDC or MDC as appropriate, and after depleting that SDC the damage comes off hit points as normal. Since the...

If there isa different between the published text and the FAQ, (even more so when the FAQ was answering a question from the last edition of the Rifts Game,) then the published text stands as canon. Since as of RUE Borgs are just MDC beings, This puts the old FAQ that the Borgs fleshy bits can be ta...

Giving them some sort of defense only seems plausible and in line with "how it should work" because otherwise people would enslave them much quicker and easily. There is however a danger to having an enslaved demon/deevil being it doesn't have your best interest at heart and can make your...

Greetings, I would first and foremost thank everybody who answered my last questions. Meanwhile a few new ones have come up: 1. If you are paralyzed, can you still fly if you have a mode of locomotion like Wingless flight and can hover and fly (aka moving "at will")? 2, If you are grapple...

sure, however, since true names don't really have any power over demons, it's not really all that useful. Sure, you can summon that particular demon/deevil, but not much more than that. Unless your GM has a house rule otherwise of course. I haven't read DB10 - Hades yet, but in DB11 - Dyval, it sta...

Well our cyber knight is using a particle beam rifle doing 1d4*10+8 md. takes a long time to take down or do enough damage for a gargoyle to flee. Then multiply the encounter by 8 gargoyles maybe. Thats a lot of damage that needs to be done to kill or subdue 8 gargoyles. alternatively, I feel like ...

drewkitty ~..~ wrote:Other thoughts....the LM listing said two magic &/or scholar classes. would it be within the realm of reasonable thinking to see a PCC as a magic class for this limitation?

I would assume so, since in Palladium RPG they are called Mind Mages. So that would thematically work?

Create force field qualifies to stop phase beamers in it's title. Phase weapons are stopped by forcefields (DB2, pp122), whether magic or tech, and the title of the power kinda brooks no argument. Why would there need to be a "if mystically bestowed" qualifier there? I also don't think th...

It seems that I've been running my games with the "old" rules, where dodging uses your next attack, rather than just an attack. I've also been running where a 2 action move completes on the second action, and can be interrupted. I'd like to move to the "new" rules where dodging ...

Which leaves me to wonder, what would phase weapons do to somebody who is "invulnerable"? Since he's only truly harmed by magical/psionic or supernatural strength attacks? As I recall, the wording in their description (phase weapons) implies that you have to specifically be immune to thei...

Greetings all, I have some rule questions. 1. Simultaneous attack: does it cost an action? Does it cost an action when you have WP Paired Weapons? 2. Parry: Parry does not cost an attack.

I can actually totally relate to that. At the moment we are working from bank accounts, some of them on Earth, some on Phase World. It means that we have a rather "easy" time getting money to the location we need it, except when of course you need it an realize that the people you are bar...

I2E is NOT a barrier spell, and only protects against "energy" weapons, a class of weapons like lasers, flamethrowers, natural fire, particle beams, and such that project or launch energy beams or blasts that burn, shock, explode or scorch the target. A phase weapon is NOT an energy weapo...

Would you allow TK to “excavate” mud or otherwise remove it like a TK bucket? Let’s say a character or object was sucked into a sinkhole and needed rescuing. Technically you only have visual on the surface and mud isn’t very cohesive. I basically treat it as an extra set of hands. If you could do i...

To quote the MDC listing in Pantheons of the Megaverse for Tezcatlipoca: "...to start on Rifts Earth and grows as the number of..." So, yes; it has to do with the lack of worshippers. I guess you could say that the lesser amount is the basic value for the god in a location with few or no ...

The Fantasy books Dragons and Gods and Garden of the Gods may have information on this. I doubt they have specifics for how a mortal becomes a god but it probably has enough that you could house rule it. As for the difference in MDC I believe gods are more powerful in there own deific realm or home...

Nuristas

Drenched in ambient PPE as Rifts Earth is, it's still not o the same level as the gods' base-dimensions of power, where they're at full strength. Maybe it's because they're built/born of the primordial material of that realm, or because their home universe serves as the focal point/gathering pool o...

Greetings all, Is there a reason that gods loose MDC on Rifts Earth? Is it due to a lack of worshippers? If so, what number would be enough to restore them to full power? While we're at it? Would said basic number of worshippers also transform mortal or supernatural being or Creature of Magic X into...

Both Rune items and artifacts can generate a Null aura. Show an example of a Rune item/weapon that does this. In other words, quote your citation for this. A ring that did just that and was indesctructible as a lesser rune item would be an artifact. Only in the archeology sense of the word artifact...

What I personally like the most about Rifts are the following things: You can make the character you wish to make. There is bound to be an OCC/RCC somewhere which fits the bill for the concept you have in your head. If your DM allows it, you are golden. Combat is "meaningful". I mean by t...

i would presume also that with the wealth they all have, they can easily afford life extension treatments and such so that they are effectively immortal, and the 250 years limit is their "natural" lifespan without all that This is what I would go with. So basically they would live 25000 y...

Greetings,

From my understanding a Mega-Hero would detect as a supernatural being.
is there a power which would prevent for example a psi-stalker or a dog-boy or a being with the power detect supernatural to sense such a being?

I didn't really find anything, so it seemed like a good idea to ask.

I love the Three Galaxies but truthfully I don't want anymore books until someone steps in to kind of guide the direction of the entire thing. It is just such a mess IMHO.

This is not a new problem if you play Rifts. Characters with large combat robots can cost tens of millions and repair and rearming them can also be expensive.
