I said "also" which I believe supports it being in both. Whether the shield is physical or not depends on if you're in the Dreamstream What Mind Block does in the Dreamstream is specific to that realm and that realm is specific to the Nightbane Setting. I was referring to the generalized ...

While that is fine for some of the high cost spells, some of those high cost spells have combat applications, and it is highly unlikely in a combat situation you will have access to those things.

I would rule the time limit starts once you go above your base PPE. Other wise some one can sit in state of being over the base PPE but not at the time limit and as long as he cast spells at a rate to avoid hitting the cap would be able to stay there until he passes out or drains the PPE. This also...

I am also in the midst of designing a Nightbane Campaign set in the Pacific Northwest, as a starting point. Major Story arc is classified but other story arcs include PC's as agents of their faction or some other patron.

I have my 4 Galaxies setting in where what I did was take the Phase World setting (using the DB2, Phase World Sourcebook, Three Galaxies, and Anvil Galaxy as those were the ones that were currently out when I did all the work on this.) Combine it with Manhunter's version of the Milky Way. Add in var...

no official weight is given, but using the diagram on Pg73 of RUE we can get an estimate based on the amount of metal in the projectiles. using that, i calculate it would come to about 10 pounds (5kg) per round if the rods are made of steel. which also means that the full 1000 round load of the cur...

Really all they need to do is Update the Pyramids to fit with the new information presented in RUE. Which new information? The Updated Numbers of what PPE can be drawn from a ley line and nexus.

I play a TW my golem is a combat robot with built in weapon system and a computer ai to give it intelligence, skills ect as well as built in TW abilties. So golems can be fairly advanced in rifts, countering many of the inerheart disadvantage.(the usefulness of many spells skyrocket once you introd...

Marcethus

Yeah but we are wondering where you came up with the +1 in the first place since TAs have no special bonuses against vampires in the first place.

Marcethus

I know Second Stage Prometheans are Supernatural Creatures but I am not sure if First Stagers fall under SN or Creatures of Magic or something else.

Marcethus

I rule, basically on the BTS2 theory of "what would this be if there were no 'super' category'. Group Mindblock is thus a 'sensitive' power for these purposes, and Super Telekinesis is a 'physical' one. Mind Block is also classified as a physical psionic power so I would be prone to thinking o...

Marcethus

Greetings and Salutations. Depends on what you'll consider proof, but ... RGMG, page 84: " Master Psychic: [snip] With rare exceptions, only the "Master" Psychic can select Super-Psionic powers and gets a huge selection from the three other categories." This states "three o...

Marcethus

Good Deal. Hopefully you had as much fun GMing as your players had playing.

Marcethus

Yeah, I am very interested in seeing what happens next.

Is not a full Vampire but you are definately in guard around this strange being.

Why would they get +1 when they do not usually get any bonus against vampires in the first place?

I was wondering that myself.

Marcethus

A very entertaining tale.

Marcethus

Except that your Exceptions are not actually exceptions. Reshape Facade is a Talent that lets the Nightbane alter the appearance of their facade not transform it in any way. Remove Facade does not transform a Nightbane it merely forces them into their Morphus form. Lend a Hand isn't in any of the bo...

Interesting stuff going on.

You did not get that wrong. It was a MIB 1 ref. to "The Galaxy" marble.

That unless both of us were wrong.

I thought so.

Nice, my Grandma use to live just east and south of Battle Mountain.

snip...Can you provide a page/source for the source that says that magic triggers a becoming? …snip This is what I was asking about myself. Since Marcethus sounded like he knew where this was.

Firstly where does it say that Atlanteans can be Juicers? Second, even if they can be juicer's it's chemicals that induce the body not a transformation. I don't have easy access to my Phase World Sourcebook, so I can't say about Atlanteans being able to be Warlock Marines. The only exception that I ...

Marcethus

Drew I would like to point out that it says in the book could trigger a 'latent' nightbane's becoming not that it will trigger it. They even mention that one was a young mage before his becoming in the Nightlands Book.

Marcethus

I can't answer your question but I do want to say that your map is excellent work.

Marcethus

IIRC Juicer Uprising might have mentioned somewhere in the write up for Kingsdale. Arzno has a list under it's hospital.

Marcethus

I stand corrected then. I haven't read through my Bionics Sourcebook in years.

According to the frame of reference the NB text in the NBSG defines what NB are, that everything is in the genes, it takes a physical change to make a change. if it is only genetic (a pretty big if, since the NBSG is pretty hazy on what a NB is) then you could simply make a genetic change... ...sin...

The babyfood in the first Robocop was for the organic parts of him that remained. Which is also not addressed in Rifts.

Marcethus

I am well aware of that. And it was why I made the comment I did.

Marcethus

Another Update. I have redone the Info on Spook Squad, they are not so totally anti-SN as I have them listed on the first post. They are back to their normal level of suspicion. I finally have an storyline, not going to reveal too much of it. PC's will be agents of a faction, possibly with ties to m...

don't you mean his collar?

Scrolls the alchemist made that he made a mistake on and knows it but still wants to make a quick gold piece on?

At certain speeds hitting the atmosphere would be like hitting solid ground. It's why you see on various science fiction shows that they will skip off of the atmosphere in some very dangerous maneuvers to try and save themselves from burning up in the atmosphere.

Awww, Give Tiberius' player my condolences. I have two cats myself. Losing a pet is very similar to losing a family member, because pets are a member of the family.

Looking of the the spells, I just found a great use of the spell "Resist Fire" With "Resist Fire", the person protected by the spell suffers no ill effects from heat. So would entering a planet's atmosphere being protected by "Resist Fire" and "Impervious to Fire&...

Marcethus

Burster's are immune to heat. So one of them if they had the armor to withstand vacuum and the oxygen supply to take care of it.

Marcethus

Standard EBA is rated for 200 degrees centigrade, CS Dead Boy Armor is rated for 300 degrees centigrade. The oxygen supply could be an issue. Standard has 5 hours CS has the same. The Radiation shielding might also be an issue for standard armor as it says minimal vs the CS's flat statement of radia...

Barrier of Thoth might block teleportation, IIRC. The version in BoM, doesn't say anything about blocking Teleportation. I looked it over in researching the Sanctum Spell.

As Written in the BoM, it doesn't specifically say that it blocks teleportation.

I am not sure if I have ever seen the books say how long a cyborg's power source lasts. Japan might have that info but I am not sure. I do know that yes they can have an E-clip recharger attached to them. I think it's an option in Japan. Might be relisted in the Bionics Sourcebook.

Marcethus

The Temporal spell Time Maelstrom affects time spells some of which do have teleport aspects such as Time and Space Warp.

Marcethus

Sounds like a hectic day for the band.

Marcethus

No worries. I was all head scratching when I got called out on that mistake myself. Until I pulled out the RUE and read it myself, and was like huh weird. But with Called Shots and Aimed Shots now taking more than one action. Each takes one extra action to perform both combined take 3 actions.

Marcethus

I would have to read the Ecto-Hunter before I could say one way or the other. And I am currently too lazy to bother pulling out my Russia books.

Marcethus

Allow them to take spell versions of the Elemental Fusionist's powers in RUE. So instead of picking an Elemental spell, they select a Fusionist one instead. Isn't that listed as an option listed under the Fusionist? Blue Flame Magic from SA2 might be something to consider as well. the blue flam mag...
