A great bionics book and overall cool setting, get RIFTS World book 17: Warlords of Russia. On page 82 is one of the coolest classes. REAVER ASSASSIN. They get auto-dodge and you can tailor the amount of cybernetics and bionics you want your character to have. This can change the overall play style ...

Morik

They lost a lot of troops in the Tolkeen war. They are not prepared for the minion war and it will cut deep as well. This will set them up for hard time. You could have any threat at that point strike at them. They are losing the continent by attrition. I will probably have the Soul Harvesters and t...

Millennium tree items are always great loot.

Morik

Layering armor is the worst thing I heard today. Take into account that I had to listen to a replay of a trump speech while waiting for my oil change.

Morik

When the revamp/reboot RIFTS England, I hope they include a Victorian/steam-punk settlement.

Morik

Dark Conversions has to many to list here. Just pick up that book and enjoy the additions you can make to the host.

Morik

I'd really like it if Harebrained Schemes made a turn based one.

Morik

Electrokinesis is underrated. Being able to locate hidden listening devices/cameras, vibro-blades, pocket derringers, bionic/cybernetics, is handy for the paranoid/cautious player. This is also great for finding caches of equipment buried. Computers behind a hidden door. Just follow the tingles. The...

100 handed from Conversion book 2

Go with Momano Headhunter or Reaver Assassin Psychic.

Morik

Be a good GM and don't allow any of the modifications to work on this mutant/aberration. Your thinking of the tattoos (which do work on some mutants even.) Bio Wizardry works on anyone unless the racial limitations say it does not like the True Atlantean and Hawk-Orl ? (sp?) No, I'm saying the scie...

Some Kitty-cat "gods" are in SA 1 and Inca "gods" are in SA 2

Take a Hawrk-ka RCC (Atlantis p75) which is completely immune to magic. Add the Maxi-Killer (aka Bio-Wizard Juicer augmentation) from Juicer Uprisings, p53. The combo is expressly permitted on JU p54, and you get a warrior with: - 4D4x10 plus 2D4x10+60 MDC (average of 210) - Additional natural armo...

Why is the mdc so low for the coalition cyborgs?

Morik

Very broad skill roll.

Morik

Air/Earth is my favorite.

The best Wall spells from earth and utility from air. You get tornado and river of lava.......just stupid good. Awesome elementals to summon as well.

Morik

The Olympian Club would be a group that would fit that mold. They are in conversion book two. They are a raider/merc group that is mid to high powered and impersonates the Greek pantheon to add credibility to their prowess. Fun NPC who are con-men who will steal/cheat anyone even the splugorth and o...

If I could make it, Los Alamo looks like the closest place to me that has their sh...stuff together. I could make it there and just teach literacy, basic math/electronics and computer operation. Teaching history could be tricky. I would do it as long as C.S. assassins wouldn't come after me. This is...

Morik

megaversal legion has an office in merc town where they do business and train their green troops in missions. So what? Naruni does as well and still has the backing of their entire network/multi-galactic super-corporation, and I'd still say they are a small political power player in North America. ...

Morik

This is why you don't use super powered characters. Players tend to get bored with them. RIFTS needs to be played with other central themes IMO.

Morik

That group needs a Butter Troll Robot Pilot.

Morik

Didn't want to miss out saying that the Black market source book as a whole shines an awesome light on this "hidden" faction.

Working for them or having them as antagonists is fun. Just use them.

Morik

I let any Human OCC non mage, who is not psychic (and with no more than 3 cyber implant) roll on the table. I love the savant option. Gives more expertise for a couple of skills for the player.

Morik

RIFTS Source book 3 is very underrated. Gene Splicers are nasty. Mindwerks and the Angle of Death have a great story.

The Kingdom of Tarnow was a great surprise. Can the king keep his alignment in check?

Great villains and a true underdog against the Brodkil and Gargoyles. Good buy all around.

Morik

When did this tread become a urination contest? Personal definitions of what a class is considered is....well personal and basically an opinion. In RIFTS you got Men-at-Arms, Psychic (master), Magic, and Scholar/Adventurer OCCs. Then the RCCs. You can try to group them by more specific terms, but an...

Morik

Naut'yll Devastators. Special forces skills and magic occ of choice You cheeky bast*rd....getting all into a class that's from a highly militaristic and magical race....that can operate amphibiously very easily. Good show. We got a winner Check them out in RIFTS Underseas. The only drawback is you ...

Morik

Special Forces OCC in RIFTS Mercs has a huge skill selection (12 other OCC skills), personalized heavy EBA, cybernetic implants and either owns a suit of PA or a ROBOT vehicle. You can make one for almost any mission. Reaver Assassin OCC in WB 17 is a beast. They can't use PA or robots but they wont...

Morik

Crazies are my favorite... I love roleplaying psychos...I'm new to rifts though. And hard as I try I can't find anything better than a human to be a crazy.. You need to look at Monkey boys in the Lone Star book. 5% of them are MOMs. A Mutant chimp with the crazy conversion is what one of my players...

The Aviane race in RIFTS WB 30 gets +2 to automatic dodge in flight. They don't get the combat maneuver unless they are flying. combat magic level 5 spell, Superhuman Agility NO REFERENCE (RIFTS Mercenary Adventures Combat Mage Spell list) Temporal Warrior OCC NO REFERENCE ( RIFTS WB3 England, optio...

Rifts World Book 17. The Reaver Assassin O.C.C. has auto dodge. it says "Automatic dodge, can dodge without losing a melee action, but still needs to roll a 1d20 (plus the usual bonuses) to be successful." What the hell the "usual bonuses" are I have no idea. I always thought reg...

Old Eyes of Sacrifice

Temporal Raider, Wizard and Warrior... they use magic to get in, get the goods and get out. What more do you need? "Tell me your favorite Thief OCC for humans" OP's post. Raider is a R.C.C. (so not a O.C.C. for this forum topic) and if your using d-magic many different groups track (and k...

All the M-Trees give clairvoyant visions to their defenders too. Hard to beat seeing the future.

The Case Man O.C.C. can use his Black market connections to hire a crew for a job.

Morik

The best Thief O.C.C. is easily the Case Man out of the Black Market book. Superpowers or no they are impressive. Page 86 read it and love it. One of their abilities listed under the Case Man O.C.C. is literally called "Master of the Heist". It gives him a 5% (+1%per level) bonus to ALL sk...

Morik

The only mechanic restriction I usually make is that if most of my players are S.D.C. beings then all players have to choose S.D.C. races. (This means you at first level are currently a S.D.C. creature. Not just born as one.) We usually run an North America campaign so that takes care of the South A...

Morik

I'll go all Kittani armor types.

2 War Fish

2 Serpents

2 Raptor

4 Flying Fox

1 Centipede

1 Allosaurus

I think this group could take on a lot of enemies in most environments. Especially Hand to Hand. If only these aliens were friendly.

Morik

save for later post when not so sleepy. Alright... I just got to say I love great class write ups like the ones in the black market book, but I always think to myself "How can I throw in some psionics." Information Broker master psychic or mystic looks so much fun to play. I love almost al...

Morik

Change the orcs to psi-goblins and have a Spirit Man-Monster calling the shots. Give the goblins some stolen bandito arms weapons and you are set to make any level of encounter. Throw in some unknown factor like a small group of Keepers of the Desert (who are they and do they want to help the party ...

Morik

Trimadore Safe-cracker was fun. Not only could he basically fix whatever he wanted with his racial mechanical aptitude, he had a specialty the group could use. (unique ways to blow stuff up)

It does seem that way.

Hmmm, oh well I'm sure I can find a GM in the future who'd let me try it

Not me.

Secondhand Smoke wrote:As momano headhunters can be psychics. I decided to roll up an amaki duelist momano.

This has not been played, just something I made due to boredom and curiousity.

My question is this. Would YOU allow this character in your game? (its not about the munch, all about the flavour)

Not at all.

Morik

Convince his son that now is the time for him to start ruling.

Munchkin Combos seem almost as sad as threads about them. (Don't flame yet) I prefer character combos in a team. What party builds (especially duos) really stand out as a great way to build on the fun and foundation of a campaign. Two character personalities coming together to solve a problem oversh...

Morik

SB1 again page 110. That being said......later books actually help expand on these races and help make their psychological tapestry in accordance to RIFTS earth believable.

Simvan look better after more world books ....notably Lone Star.

Morik

They really don't come to light until SB3 Mindwerks......

Notable Npc Brodkill are the Sheriff gang in Ixzotz on page 48 of WB1. Great encounter to play there.

Morik

DU round loaded rail guns mounted (or held) by any airborne character that can move faster than the dragon under an anti-magic cloud. Just get him to not teleport away and you win.
