Earlier, I was working on a character that I wanted to be a wereraven sort of character. So, Lycanthropy - Raven (which, so far as I know, doesn't exist canonically). What I really want, is the ability to have the character selectively transform parts of her body. I can't find any powers that even c...

Yeah, Hoover built a prototype vacuum airship. They scraped the project though, because the airship sucked.

Hey, Stattick's Famous Morphus Table isn't on there. It should totally be on there. It's famous.

Well, character has a PE of ~12. It's 12 at the moment, but might go up w/ skill selection and such. But I'm sure that it won't go up to 30.

Watch the movie Leap of Faith w/ Steve Martin. And maybe watch a few episodes of The Mentalist. So, you're going to want to talk to your GM, and see what he's willing to do to actually let this class and character swim instead of sink. If he'll let you, you'll probably want to create some sort of Co...

I'm writing up an immortal dragon from PU-2. It doesn't say anything about the character having the Immortality superpower or mega-power. It also doesn't say that the character is immune to disease. That seems like an oversight to me. Anyway, I was wondering if there's an official ruling or errata r...

Ok, I finally figured out TW construction. Thanks for the help everyone.

Thank you for the spreadsheet. That helped a lot too.

I checked and I was wrong. You are correct, they are native to an unkown dimension they never discuss with others, however their native state is an astral spirit form, and they have to sacrafise power to manifest a body to interact with mortals. Ok, undescribed dimension where things are probably v...

You know, I'd really like a copy of that spreadsheet, if you don't mind. Care to host it somewhere for me, or e-mail it to me?

Where are the stats for shields in Rifts? I remember running across them recently, but cannot remember where. I have a player who wants to pick up a shield, and I cannot recall how much MD they should have.

Stattick

A big part of the problem is that TW Construction rules have never been clear cut. They have always been designed to involve both player and GM. In fact, the GM decides what the final, assembled product becomes, as opposed to anything the PC puts into it. And yes, this requires a lot of oversight. ...

I've read the rules in RUE and Rifter 21 several times, and I still have no idea whatsoever on how to create a techno-wizardric device. My player's read both as well, and again, we're at a total loss. The section makes my eyes glaze over, and I keep reading through and thinking, "Ok, I think I ...

Ah, I just happened upon it. Yes, the native language on Seeron is roughly the equivalent of Seeron.

Stattick

Just a quick question that I can't find in the book. Is the native language of the humans of Seeron the equivalent of English?

Stattick

I've been working on something similar for the Magic Zone in Rifts. I'm not using percentage tables though. I'm using grids that are a d8 x a d8. So, only 64 options per table. But it wouldn't be hard to make larger (or smaller) grids. Also, using grids forces one to use just a word or two so you ca...

Do you think some physical bonuses might be appropriate? Perhaps a P.P. (and maybe a P.E.) bonus from all the practicing at jumping onto and off of a moving vehicle. I'd also think a + to SDC because you know you're gonna fail sometimes and those sometimes are gonna be painful. Kind of like a rever...

I don't suppose there's anyplace where it lists the areas and cities in North America, and just gives a brief overview of each, is there?

So... switch to a non-AI. Or change the kind of magic it has. How about: All Fire and Water Warlock spells?

Oh, btw, yeah, I realize that the stats and HF are kinda low. I rolled for 'em, and they came out low.

It knows all necromancy and necromancy related spells? You sure? The party is probablly toast in any straight up fight. Death bolt + death word are more or less going to trash them.

Just went over this subject myself. The armor costs seem appropriate to me. Once you've depleted a suit of armor down to around 30-40% of it's MD remaining, it's less expensive to just buy a new suit. In other words, like a vehicle that's been in a bad wreck, it's been "totalled", and it's...

Well, can I? Specifically, I was hoping for stats for a dog. An English Shepard (which wouldn't be too far off from a German Shepard). He'd be a big one for the breed, at about 75 lbs.

Well, he'd be using Copy Physical Form, a major power from the HU2 basebook. It's sorta like a bunch of different APS powers rolled into one.
