I'm looking to start off a Chaos Earth game in a more survival mode and have it shift to a more standard style game after I feel the mood is established. The problem I'm having Is that I still want some fights in the earlier part of the game (the apocalypse, naturally) and since the pcs will begin u...

Like the girl in Bubblegum Crisis 2040.

SUPERCALIFRAGILIS.....

Nope, thats been said to.

Old HeMan on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 8. New HeMan on same scale to me was a 5 or even a 6. Just like the new transformers they lost alot in trying to update it to the kids of today. The New HeMan just didnt have the same feel and other factors to me. True enough that it was a different feel. Even ...

Jimmy Crat

Bah
PC's need all the help they can get. It'll make them feel better.
(Then when their not looking increase the MDC of the baddies by *2!)

New HeMan is coming out on DVD in october, I liked it. I mean, it's HEMAN!

All of Psyscape vs HeMan: Psyscape wins.
Add the Masters into the mix: Anybody's game.

I vote Mega-juicer because it looks cool and I've always wanted to play one. My GM effectively vetoed it so I played a hyperion, that was kinda cool. Campaign kinda bombed for me when a buddy played a triax 'borg w. huge MD strength. That bugged me after playing a RMB 'borg for a long time.

Jimmy Crat

Agreed, and sounds cool.

Jimmy Crat

I'd agree. The doc doing the conversion probably wouldn't know the difference. He'd implant the harness and either right away, the first major stress, or the first supernatural transformation would probably kill him.

Jimmy Crat

Thus the importance of the adventuring group in a PC 'borg's life. At that point friends are just about the only thing he's got left from his humanity.

BTW Baron, your link to Dan's HU Page is dead.

All of them are. It's still down from his move is my guess. I'm still checking and it hasn't come back up since. See the posts at the end of the HU websites sticky.

What stage promethean?

I don't like where this question is going. How much MDC/SDC does dirt have? How far down does dirt exist beneath the earth's crust? How much damage would it take to destroy a planet, or at least blow a hole through it? Off topic, how much MD do you think an asteroid would do? You know if it hit the...

Jimmy Crat

Definetly city info. Patch it into the next coalition destroys enemy book or anywhere. Just publish it!

Jimmy Crat

It's obviously a trap to thin out his growing asortment of enemies. I've seen it before. shiver Everyone lay low! Sorry Aj, no one deserves to go out like THAT.

Jimmy Crat

Autographed from the book store? That's cool, I got a bunch; but I had to fight crowds at GenCon.

Jimmy Crat

And so we all take another step down the slippery slope of global destruction.

Jimmy Crat

I agree, Calgary Rift monster Kingdom is what I'm thinking. It could be great. That said, I also think it will involve the Palladium world. It doesn't bother me since I don't play in that setting so they can't mess it up for me. On the downside, I'll probably have to buy 3-5 PF books to make use of ...

I agree.
Just another aspect of thier missing humanity. I suspect that 'borgs don't like to think about it much. If they get upset, watch out.

Jimmy Crat

Yea, sounds like a great idea.

Jimmy Crat

If you want to keep the HU feel, stick with SDC. If the adventure is a gritty adventure into a dimension not soon forgotten, use MDC.

Thats my take.

Jimmy Crat

There are a few things wrong with that. Firstly, Glitter Boys are immune because they have Full Environmental Shielding which is one of the listed things that can block or negate the nerual zap from the stun weapon. That's the primary means of guarding against the mace and such weapons in the first...

Our group doesn't name itself often. Recently the group was given a name. The best part was that they were named after a charismatic character who had recently joined the group; charismatic to the townsfolk, ill-liked by the characters. Now imagine: he died shortly afterwards, but the name stuck. "R...

Jimmy Crat

Munchkinism from Bio-Armor? Oh heaven forbid he have an AR 16 and 220 SDC! How will I overcome that?! That power is so cool but relatively weak IMO. Depends on where you stand. As I wasn't the GM, I got used to the idea that my character was gonna have to try really hard to keep up. And btw, I didn...

If it's Psychic it's food. So a mage or any RCC/OCC would have to possess Psychic abilities to some extent to be 'Edibile'. Mages are safe from feeding. So whay say Psi-Stalkers are Anti-magc? Maybe thats Stalkers don't like them...oh well. Animals have "naturally inactive" Psychic abilites so they...

That being that the Coalition States are far from the only human nation out there and that being the case are not the only way humans will continue to not only survive but thrive on Rifts Earth. IIRC, in the main book it was pretty clear that the Coalition was the last bastion of mankind. No, it wa...

Magic, as it exists in Rifts Canon, is **** laughable. This is why reasonable spells aren't reacted to the same way as the linked particles communication or 1d6x10 per shot sniper rifles. There are specific areas of technology that are almost as laughable as Magic in Rifts - tanks and giant robots ...

As a rule... sometimes. Jimmy Crat and party forged themselves a semi-secret (read: remote) base and made a trip to atlantis to purchase as many slaves as we could afford. We brought them back to our base, set them free and offered them jobs with good pay and protection. We now preside over a thrivi...

My big problem with psi-stalkers is how they get enough"food" to support their numbers. This is especially true when I wonder how they did it when the mutation first occured. While men of magic and psychics are viable targets, they have powerful MDC powers. If the psi-stalkers don't get the drop on...

Actually, my character in Darkwind's "Deadly Future" campaign has Mega-Wings. I chose the summonable option for MW because it tied in nicely with his other major ability -- Bio Armor. But hey, if you don't like the power you don't like the power. Ah, Bio-Armor. I must recant not having seen the pow...

Lord High Rik Ion Blaster wrote:I never applied SDC bonuses just in flight. I always figured that the rigors of flying (and maybe the rigors of learning to land properly ) just toughened the characters up in general.

Jimmy Crat

I don't like the summonable option. It's a power thing, you lose 40 SDC net in flight and 100 on the ground, so I usually go with another option. I can see where you'd arrive at that conclusion, but I honestly don't see a logical explanation why a Mega-Wings character should have more SDC in flight...

Remember that killing your opponent is not necessarily a reason to drop in alignment. Murdering your opponent would be, however, but that's a different story. If killing your opponent were automatically a "bad thing", you wouldn't earn EXP for "killing or subduing" your menaces, minor, major and gr...

Jimmy Crat

I think thats the one yout looking for. It's got HU conversions there. It's what I always use in my HU games.

You're not talking about the conversions section in N&SS ae you? It gives some numbers like that p. 163

shutters at the memories of a campaign long past

Jimmy Crat

I didn't say they shouldn't. The price for that power is just too high for me, so I use others.

Jimmy Crat

Sorry this is a lil off topic... APS Light doesn't do enough damage? Heck it has two of the most powerful blasts in the game since they can both gain damage per level, only cost ONE attack, and have the best range! Nigh-on best long range attacks in the game. In my eyes they are the best if you wan...

New question. The powers Supernatural Strength, Sonic Speed, and Natural Combat Ability, and possibly others, give alternate damage dice for their punch. If a character possesses multiple powers of this type, what would their damage be? I wouldn't want to add them together, since both powers account...

So 1 pull does 1d6 SDC 2 pulls does 2d6 SDC 10 pulls does 1d6 x 10 SDC Etc. Etc.... 100 pulls does 1d6 MDC MD is a LOT of energy...not do-able with a single string pull IMO. I was thinking something like this before I got to your post. The only way I'd allow that weapon would be to make it an SDC l...

... but around here people in real life can't run faster than speeding vehicles, fly faster than jet aircraft, juggle full-grown elephants, turn their bodies into metal/stone/liquid/wood, or sprout armored wings from their backs. In HU there isn't any way to fly faster then jet aircraft either, asi...
