happens three time in three pages in book 3, with the Seamanship skill for the Mariner, Pirate and Sailor, all three have Seamanship as OCC Skills but none have Sewing skill, it also happens quite a bit in Rifts with a bunch of Technology based skills and Literacy (also TMNT/ATB too IIRC).

How do you handle missing prerequisite skills from a characters OCC list? eg a OCC has skill X as an OCC Skill but dose not list Skill Y that is required to take Skill X, do you just give it, or forcr the character to burn an Elective or secondary skill to acquire the missing skill, and what about b...

Had a (Secret) Rogue Doppleganger Warlord as the Antagonist for two short campaigns,one was a "Villain""campaign the other was a "Dupes" both ended up as TPK's the Villains game was a neat total wash por the party the Dupes almost brought down the insurgency.

thought so I just didn't want to have to make the GM commit to the Demigod thing, since it was one of the grate questions about the character that i even as the player don't know after 30 years (although I haven't even had a pick up game with this character in a bit over a decade). If I do ask for c...

Hooked back up with an old friend any way they asked if I'd like to bring an old character from our 1e days in to their long running 2e campaign. the character is a Hunan? (possibly Demigod) Beast Master, Master Psionic. most of their Stats and Gear will be an easy port but Skills and Psi powers not...

Well I know my character isn't going to carry their Kobold crafted Orichalcum Kopis (+3 Dam, +1 Parry & Strike) set with a Pisionic Crystal (Luck: Fighting, +1 Dodge, +1 Inish), just a collection of Knives & Daggers

just checking.

Ok good to know, I'm going from my old OCC to a Man of Magic (Mind Mage) posing as a Scholar, a couple of the players know about the fake OCC, but not the real one or the fact the character has an old OCC with some levels, I'm even faking my characters Homeland & Background.

Do Different types of HtH Stack? I've got a character I haven't played in about two decades but am being a opportunity to play them again, they have some levels behind them, they have HtH Merc as an OCC skill but is shifting in to an OCC that has Non-Man-at-Arms as an elective skill (yes it's a 1E c...

True in the terms of a post Enlightenment setting with it's Social & Land Reforms, pre-Enlightenment if you where living in a rural community and where not a Noble (and even then) you knew Agriculture, foraging and some gender suspisifc skills (carpentry fore men and cooking, food preserving, sp...

Terms of Service: personal detached from the BRN serve for One year before returning to the Navy, this holds true for common sailors and Junior Officers, Senior Petty Officers can serve up to three years, but no more, Senior Officers can also serve up to three years and it is standard practice for S...

nope it's the old governmental internal mail, it's under resourced (not enough boats, not enough warm bodies, no permanent offices ect.) Navel personnel detached to it take a substantial pay cut for the duration (but they get paid by the month and face fewer Pay Stoppages & Mess Fees). the Dispa...

the Bizantium Dispatch Service unofficially known as the 5th Fleet is an arm of the Bizantium government made up almost entirely (90%+) of personal on detached duty from the Bizantium Royal Navy, they are tasked with carrying correspondence, packages persons and small cargoes to anywhere in the King...

An other bit you can use is misaligned Chakra or perhaps some chi in one Chakra is resonating at the wrong frequency.

there are all kinds of ways for Ki to be disharmonious and they each have a different way to remedy them.

I'd say yes 0 Chi is still "Positive", you just have depleted you ability to tap in to your Qi reserves Do you mean in the sense of being 0/10 positive chi as opposed to someone who converts to 10 negative chi and then uses it up and is also at 0 but 0/10 negative? I don't know if there's...

I'd say yes 0 Chi is still "Positive", you just have depleted you ability to tap in to your Qi reserves, when you dip in to "Negative" Chi you have built up (or had inflicted on you) disharmonious Ki and all the bad things start to happen, time to visit your Guru or Apothecary, g...

Back when Book 7 came out our palladium games had bean on a down turn for about six months (except for rifts that was running on reduced numbers) our GM wanted to re-launch his PFRPG campaign, but didn't want us to have to relearn 1e fantasy with our established characters so after a pick up game he...

Actually the M-16's where A1's, I'd bean told the ADF was offered U.S. A1 Warstocks at almost as good as free, but the ADF wanted a domestically produced 5.56 and the M-16 A1 failed to impress. back in the day ADF standard procedure for the use of a M-16 to use it as a Signal Arm and as a stock for ...

My current character Dan Forbes, MoS Rifleman, Sharpshooter Colt 1911 .45 + 5 full magazines & 50 round box of ammunition, M1903 +10 full clips & 50 round box of ammunition, M1 Helmet, Ka-Bar, Entrenching Tool, Wire Cutters, roll of wire, roll of duct tape, M1 Helmet, 2 canteens, Water Purif...

Nam era games Rei Clancy, Helicopter pilot MOS, started out with a Colt M1911 + 2 extra clips, Bush Knife and a Crash Bag containing three days C-Rations, 2 Canteens of water, Handy-Talky, one wave off smoke, one all clear smoke, P-38, utensil set, Map Case, Flashlight & filter set, Personal Med...

also any of the books about Carlos Hathcock, I prefer Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills, it gives a good fell on how things where in country according to some Nam Vets I've known over the years.

In keeping Recon, Recon, new MOS's like Rifleman, Airborne, Mechanized Infantry, Mountain Warfare, Engineers. New Advancement Options like NCO School and OCS that allow characters to take normally MOS restricted skills and the option to attend additional MOS schools upon enlistment or transfer to El...

got to love the SLR (L1-A1), none of the jamming problems of the AR-15 descendents, and it just has the range penetration and stopping power, as more than one Nam Vet has told me nothing like at 200m nailing Mr. Charles hiding behind a tree and having him drop, so much better than at less than 50m e...

I personally go with Nam era Steal Helmets and Flack Vests being -5 Damage per hit from Small Arms and Light Support Weapons and -10 per hit from Fragments and Melee Combat Modern (mid 90's onward) Kevlar (Helmets & Vests) -10 on it's own -15 with light Trauma Plates -20 for Heavy Trauma Plates ...

You know their are "Serious Types" that do the "Double Lie", they tell you they where something like "Data Com's" (IT Guy) or Line Infantry before they went to <Insert Elite> School and tell you a bunch almost blatant of lies about training and deployment so you wright ...
