I got idea for the Shakespeare,s One,Iago (like the One in Othello). He is a Mask Ruiner of reputation,he manipulate,his target into situaltion where they commit a Crime or ther discredited,this way he can blackmail them. I also hope One of your character is a Jester,I like a Clown hero,maybe he ca...

Lord Helmet, theory says any being of immortal nature is not likely good. Immortality and alien powers may corrupt. Add to that fact good people would eventually become tired of the battle vs evil and an alien/supernatural intelligence is no different. That said I prefer more open alignment AI or SN...

Great,start will you show your Player characters? Will you come up with More Villains? More villains for sure. I just need to get a few concepts together that aren't too over done. Certainly will have a mage, a gargoyle-type group and one from Shakespeare. Haven't decided on the Shakespeare one. Ma...

This might make a good anti-vamp weapon if made magical, as well as other Supernaturals.

Greetings and Salutations. You'll have to forgive that my inner science geek is lacking, but tech stuff has never been my strong suit. Anyways, the question was what would we (in this specific case "I") do as a G.M.? Well since I'm not as familiar with all the science stuf...

I'd probably lean against tear gas having much of an effect on them; it's a chemical irritant. However, I'd also expect the NDR to have a version that will work on gargoyles... perhaps something like a dust-bomb using powdered concrete to irritate and blind them. Add nanobots to that and you could ...

Rimmerdal

That brings up a question, actually. Is the save for a CS grenade dodging? Would it be a save vs non-leathal poison? Not sure where the rules for that are. An interesting note, looking up the listings for Tear Gas in a few different books, there is no save. It is conspicuous by its absence, given m...

Id say its a major power, theres another power with a resurrection affect so I dont see where the issue is. Also is the sdc and power drain permanent or only temporary? Thnking temp unless said healer reaches zero HP at which point he'll need a res himself. the HP and SDC will restore over time and...

Rimmerdal

They can have a high PE, yes. I think the point is that if they get a save from a gas grenade, their PE would affect it, but that wouldn't be any different from someone else with a high PE. Personally i don't have a problem with them getting a higher bonus from having Supernatural Attributes, but I...

Rimmerdal

It would seem to me the primary problem would be that gargoyles are 30 feet tall and would require a vastly higher does of any given chemical to have a discernable effect. SHHHHHhhhh...You know how expensive that Pepper spray is? the NGR accountants might tell the brass and no more crying gargoyles.

I'm with Dog, unless there immune to chemicals or gases they should be affected. Now the only thing I see is how it affects them. and how said species cries (as in physical tears.) this rule would also apply to Mace or pepper spray unless said species does not have eyes or is immune to pepper spray....

Yes, you can fight with 2 weapons in Palladium if you have paired WP. But you have to follow the standard rules which means that if you do a dual strike, you lose your auto-parry. Of course you can still spend an action to dodge, and if you have auto-dodge, you MIGHT be able to do so automatically....

Okay it occurred that we have ancient and a number alien Pathenons. Now I was wondering how would you as GM make a modern pantheon based on modern sciences and knowledge? The concept are gods/goddesses created in the modern age. One thought was people who invented the items we use like Tesla or othe...

4-limbed beings have been an option for a LONG time in Rifts prior to Invasion. You could get 4-armed Borgs in the RMB, the Gigantes/Rahu-Men/Dybbuks in CB1, bio-borgs in Atlantis, Chaing-Ku/Dabugghs in England, Death/Necromancers in Africa, etc. If Invasion meant for these preceding Rifts races to...

Rimmerdal

I don't see your point. Invasion introduced a new ability not previously present for multi-limbed characters, and introduced it exclusively for the Xiticix species. There is no basis for retroactively applying it to other multi-limbed races when the exclusive basis for its introduction was their un...

I can agree with most posters. provided the Familiar is able to learn it..it should. I would say it could not surpass the master its tied to though.

Look at RUE, page 327 (second column, last paragraph of the "W.P. Paired Weapons" write-up). Four-armed characters only need to take W.P. Paired Weapons once, not once for each pair of arms. While it doesn't outright state with crystal clear wording, I'd say the wording present definitely...

Jaymz: I have no issue with variants. I have issue with what may be 30 new and separate units being put out. Agree. Rifts, robotech or any other game if you put something new out it should have a purpose or replace an older obsolete unit. Like the Deep sea Samson's and other specialized units that ...

Over 3 eras there are a total of 7 VF's (one that isn't canon), 4 Cyclones, and about 20 destroids or battloids for Earth. A period that covers 30 years. Most of these units did not serve all together but replaced by later models. Macross 1 vf and 5 destroids, ASC 4 vfs and about 12 battloids for s...

My GM ruled that a fellow psychic will sense the intrusion attempt, but a non-psychic would be oblivious. Line of sight is imperative.

Precog. Great GM tool and should be used as such. and ya I like that approach. activates according to GM whims the way it should be. I would have it be a free clue to guide PC's by giving a location or name and have them sort it out.

Often a group needs a specialist and they like to keep one around. and since one guy can't do everything.

I am not sure how I feel about that many...things like this though are why the people who like Magic users and psychics feel they are not even thought about as it pertains to getting "toys". There is a LOT of emphasis on tech most of the time. I do like them fleshing out a toybox for NG b...

Well, PA is smaller and more able to interact with the human world. So an Ironmans style approach is more logical in that regard.

As for more Mundane and MDC style transport Ya the game needs a few new ones. some have come out. but most High end variants and pricey. (That is if you get one new.)

I was watching that Kung Fury trailer. and it occurred to me that style play might make a fun game.
