Given the power assisted nature of the armor I always took the "running" to be more of a loping type movement using powered mini leaps to give the user a very long stride allowing them to move very rapidly. Think the hulk when he is doing is bounding type movement very long strides that ea...

Had to comeback and mention the Apok. The Confessor just *looks* beast. Which gives me an idea for a new thread... I really liked the apok but given the stated rules of the symbiot things only work on wormwood I just cannot take any of the wormwood stuff to seriously as its not really transportable...

The new magic occs are interesting but overall more utility/support than offensive so not much over powering there. That's good news to me. Utility and support are where magic shines. Give me more spells that let me solve problems that can't be solved with WP Energy Rifle. Are the new magic OCCs gi...

RCC probably junk crabs from lemuria. I so want to play one they are perfect for me.
OCC Hurm probably techno wizard
PCC hurm maybe the burster although I find most of the psychic abilities/classes to be weak in the rift setting.

I'm not entirely sure. The rules pertaining to armor use and casting a spell "through" it are (1) it cannot be primarily "unnatural" or metal material and (2) at least 1/3 (maybe that's 2/3, cant remember off the top of my head) of the casters body must be uncovered. So if I fol...

Does the Pilot Basic: Submersible Vehicles and Robots / Pilot Expert: Submersible Vehicles and Robots or their equivalent exist anywhere in the published material? If so, please post it here or e-mail me the book and page number. [ Akashicsoldier@gmail.com ] If it does not exist, please tell me so ...

Right now Pathfinder is probably my favorite RPG to GM as it is fairly easy to build a structured and balanced adventure for, and I'm kind of happy to see it take second place on a list that includes Dungeons and Dragons. Pathfinder especially if you use the pathfinder society rules is a pretty eas...

The overall power level in this book seems a bit lower than say rift atlantis which is why I think some of the things seem a bit odd. The power level should be lower than Atlantis, the lemurian civilization is much younger that Atlantis. I just got Rift's Lemuria and Rifter 58, after quickly lookin...

The overall power level in this book seems a bit lower than say rift atlantis which is why I think some of the things seem a bit odd. Overall I really enjoy the setting and the new stuff and it seems like an effort to reign in power creep a bit. The new bio armor is very interesting most seems to be...

So what are the pros and cons to the Rifts Earth setting if fusion reactors are available? Why would this be a big deal if it turns out not to be a typo? --flatline Honestly I would much prefer it if they were fusion just from a standpoint of if all these power armor/tanks/skycycles have fissionabl...

The artwork is fantastic and the writing quite good. Lemuria is defiantely interesting and worth the wait of so many years since it was first listed as in the queue. Due to the artwork style and organic content, the book really did read like a "Splicers Undersea". In fact, I plan to recom...

kaid

Anyone else get their copy of Lemuria and any feedback thus far? Been reading through mine have not had a chance to get super far in it but man I am so tempted to make a junk crab character. Crazy hermit crab tech savant building his own lil porta james bond bunker on his back. I would probably dri...

With all the MDC armor I always took the short ranges as being the range at which you can inflict normal damage on MDC armor. Man portable armor has much more parity with the available weapons in rifts earth than we currently have. Shooting at very extreme ranges would become ineffective you are unl...

What Az said. REALLY getting sick of just seeing mega-corporation / Gubermint Military cap-ships everywhere and nothing for the "common man/woman/hermaphrodite/nueter". That, and hard fast number crunching ship building rules (or a reliable conversion system from AU:GG to Tri-gal standard...

Braden's "Life in the Space Lanes" book. I want me some "player character" ships. More fighters, corvettes, patrol ships, picket ships, gunboats, scout ships, tramp freighters, light freighter, runner ships, etc. Also more on runners, pirates, maybe contract police security forc...

Well, in the case of the Thundercloud (and also, to drag this thread back on track), there are thousands of new colonies being settled every year, yes. However, the population of those new worlds is equal to that of a small town or two. The idea is to cast as wide a net as possible... but since so ...

the enlightened demons arent officially part of the immortal character class but could be due to that class including beings that live so long that they might as well be considered immortal, like the fairies and the merfolk that are part of that class. and as far the enlightened demon still having ...

Got through about half of this after work last night. Good stuff I really like the weapons of chaos and order. The only head scratcher for me was I think the imbued by light hero I cannot recall the exact name. They appear to use the mega hero experience chart but in just looking at it if you did th...

I got mine today though have not had a chance to read it yet (darn you gainful employment). Kinda funny though I ordered two other books at the same time about a week ago but got this one first hehe guessing the others will arrive tomorrow.

I am thinking an army that is facing huge swarms of very tough gargoyles would probably appreciate sentry guns that can fire hours continously before they need to recharge. This is not something a player group likely needs but it makes an awful lot of sense for the triax army.

kaid

I've played 3 actually. The trick is that they get a vehicle off right off the bat. Pick something with a cargo hold. The mountaineer is ideal for this as even most low powered GMs would allow it. It gives you a pretty large space that's mobile and lets you build most small scale stuff which is wha...

Simo attack with Magic Net FTW!!!! LMAO Edit: As long as that's not being munchy.. lmao I just checked the RUE and from the way it looks simul attacks appear to be a melee attack option not a ranged/magic option which sort of makes sense as it makes init a bit more useful. Curious if this is clarif...

kaid

I am curious and will have to do some looking when I get home. If the attacks are truly simultaneous and the effects happen at the same time it could lead to some hilarious mage kitten fights where it looks and sounds pretty scary but it winds up with both on their back not doing much.

kaid

The battle will never get that far. This is a one action battle, essentially. SOmeone will get simuled in the first attack, since neither can kill the other with one shot. One person will get disabled and the other will slaughter them. I think the battle will go on a little longer than that. Nope. ...

Thats a total of CoA = 10PPE, Magic Net = 7PPE, Meteor = 75PPE,(x3) Total PPE spent = 242 PPE. (Leaving me with 67 PPE.) One dead Juicer. And I only took 1 hit from the Juicer. See this actually illustrates my biggest problem with mages currently in the game. You defeated one opponent and yet nearl...

Magic in Rifts can be very powerful but most of the really powerful magics seem limited to specific classes or races such as the atlantean tattoo magic. The more generic casted spells seem to have lagged some the damage numbers for most of them make sense when looking at just the original main book ...

If you want to hug a tree millienium tree leaves are probably about the lightest MDC armor you are going to get short of a forcefield generator of some kind.

I would not apply wild shooting penalty to people using the integrated weapon systems on a vehicle. The penalty is more for people shooting out of windows/hatches of moving vehicles not for using the build in weapon systems. Say somebody is on a sky cycle if they try to shoot a hand weapon off there...

The citizens while not literate are iconerate they get used to the icons and symbols and probably even some words. Right now there is a good chunk of our own population thats not terribly literate but the way the internet and signs work they can still function just fine. I imagine most of their troo...

OOO or if you find yourself invaded by zombies while in Sweden this looks to be a pretty option m Hehe my first thought would be zipwire too.

Hehe my first thought would be zipwire too.

The way I have done it is each tick of the fire damage rerolls the AR until the fire wears off. Generally this will mean if you are really trying to shake and bake them they will eventually die but during that time as it warns in the book you now have not just the living dead but living dead thats o...

Its not that assault weapons and machine guns cannot be useful against zombies its just that for the most part they are not really idea. Yes if you shoot up the body and hit a spine you could knock one down but for most people the amount of shots needed to do it would make the weapon not very cost e...

I was reading through more of the combat section last night and there are rules for up close short range fights where you pretty much cannot miss or at near range where you get pluses to hit even the head. Given that a lot of the combats vs zombies are probably going to be at very very up close rang...

I love the pipe bomb in this game. Alright zombies GO FETCH!!!!

One thing I noticed is that it seemed like the neck was a weaker target than the head. Sever the neck and the zombie is down for the count unless something reattatches the head later which I think would be pretty rare unless you see cultists around. And if you can pop their heads off fast I would ha...
