I said it before and I'll say it again. Hardware Unlimited won't be published until the tech in that book is at least 15 years out of date.

The Beast

The only thing I can think of is that the SDC/HP cost is paid by the person who will be the master of the golem. That would at the least spare the golemancer their life force for their own personal creations. That still leaves the problem of their being golems for rent, but that could be chalked up ...

I've commented on this before but there is just not enough (read almost none) differentiation between weapon effects in Palladium. Lasers should do different kinds of damage than rail-guns, particle beams should have ancillary effects that are different from ion weapons. Likewise plasma missiles sh...

so, bored with snowmen eh? wanna build a town of your own, or pep up a small run down community? No. What I want is a complete file on everyone who's seen the Sound of Music more than four times. I think anyone who is over 30 has seen it at least 4 times, voluntarily or not. My first two times were...

keep in mind too that everything does not have to be flying at max speed all the time.. in fact the faster you go the harder it is to turn, so a mechanoid wasp might well slow to mach 1 or even subsonic speeds when fighting, especially a ground target. (since at mach 3 it would only be able to get ...

The Beast

AFAIK, short of anything that can travel FTL Wasps are the fastest beings in the Palladium Megaverse.

The Beast

Well, I was thinking about the strength bonus in combat. The way it's written, a person with a 20 STR gets +5 damage on every shot. However, that seems to assume just a one handed strike. There is no increase in damage if you use a weapon with two hands. I think we all know that swinging a weapon w...

So, even in HU, ley lines have an effect on things. There's not really any guide that I remember seeing on whether there is a ley line or nexus in one place or another.. Are there any Palladium books either in BtS, Rifts, etc that has a map of major ley lines in the world or at least North America?...

The Beast

In WB4 Tarn's letter to Plato mentioned the mechanoid invasion and the letter was written in 103 PA.

The Beast

I don't recall a hard date, but Erin Tarn vanished during her trip in the Vampire Kingdoms in 101 PA and her next letter to Lazlo came in 103 PA.

The Beast

Called shots on the weapon.

The Beast

They may have meant either E-clip or TW-cell. All really depends on if the weapon in question is a TW-item or not.

The Beast

Are there any rules or books for building ships? Which books should I get? Aliens Unlimited Galaxy Guide is the only book with actual rules in place for building spaceships. The other books just have either lists of spaceships or lists of parts (some list both) but don't go into any details of how ...

The Beast

The only games I can recall using skill programs instead of the stupid, cookie-cutter OCC system are:

HU (both editions)
1st Ed BTS
N&S (both editions)

I know Mystic China uses OCCs in some cases, but it may also use the skill programs as well.

The Beast

Maybe place the cost around the cost for Metamorph: Human? I forget what that is, so I'm not sure if I'm too high, too low, or whatever.

You could cast the spell, let someone eat the food, then turn it back to stones.

Well that's what happens when there's no hard rule that gives a definitive answer one way or the other, and people have to guess what works best for the game they're in.

The Beast

IIRC, Nightbane was one of the first settings where PCs actually took their native language as a skill. Prior to that it was assumed that the PCs could speak the language they were raised in. So my guess as to why the NB skill starts lower than the RUE version is that the company later decided that ...

With every new book there are new skills and/or spells that come out players think would fit their characters perfectly. If a character doesn't any slots available, how does a character learn these new gems. Spells are added at certain levels, but continued education seems to be left out. What do t...

The Beast

Dwarves? I take it that's lore from PFRPG? I never really dabbled in that setting at all. But I can borrow them if you can point me to a specific book and section that would educate me on that. I could easily pull a clan thought lost/slain but was actually yanked out of time and space to Rifts. Tha...

It contains several worlds and moons rich in materials and minerals Let's go with the easy one first, obviously these celestial objects will be strip mined. I'd also build refining facilities on an as-needed basis. It contains one jungle type world with a huge bio-diversity but no intelligent life....

The Beast

Check the original CB1. I know in the Robotech section it mentioned some stuff about reducing a dragon's MDC if they crossed over to that setting due to less ambient magic energy. There may be other stuff mentioned there as well. Otherwise I'd go with using the AR/SDC/HP stats from the appropriate b...

The Beast

Using the RDC take the Night spawn....Nightbane race and having their wizard type RCC and load up on healing mage and take the 'Sharing the Flash' Talent. That's a fairly decent idea, especially if you use Ratty's guide on which spells are the most effective for the PPE cost while you're picking ou...

That 6th Sense might trigger from an atomic explosion is plausible, but the power itself is not as much help as some seem to think it is: "The character will not know what the danger is or where it will come from, nor who it will be direct at when in a group. All he will know is that something...

Why could I not find it before? I went over each dimension book several times. It didn't exist when you looked earlier. You see, somebody went back in time and added those parts into the book before they went to the publisher. The "ripples" from the time change caught up to you after you ...

If the ritual is to make an Astral Realm or a Dimensional Realm then it takes a sacrifice of Permanent PPE from the person(s) making the realm. And if any of the individuals that gave up the permanent PPE should happen to die, then that realm loses that person's PPE until someone else covers down o...

I remember reading in detail details about the old ones but can't remember where it was and now have someone telling me the old ones aren't stronger than the splugorth using the fact that current PF is an SDC environment as part of their reasoning and saying the stuff I read about doesn't exist in ...

The Beast

At one point in the game's history dodging didn't just use up an attack, it specifically used up the next attack. This meant you could have been forced onto the defensive until you got behind cover, decided to take the hit, or got a better initiative roll. It's possible the author had that version o...

The Beast

Good Evening, Let's start with the fact that I am aware that in Rifts money and costs are not always logical. That is kinda besides the point of my question but some things we do know: We know it takes 30 million to keep Larsen's in the field for a month without combat pay. We know Naruni stock wen...

I have an Excel spreadsheet with all the spells (not tattoos or wards) in the Megaverse, including up to Rifter 70 (or so) listing their book and page number. PM me an email address and I can email it to you.

Hello all. I was recalling the other day that Kevin has claimed that Heroes Unlimited earth is the past of Rifts Earth. Do you have a source, because that would be helpful.

Hello everyone. Long time no hear. I know that the BTS 2e came out in 2005, and now it is 2020. So how much of the info is outdated such as skills and what not?

As far as updating skills and equipment, I actually do the opposite and run my games in the 1980's so that I don't have to worry about it lol....this best time for horror...no cell phones. I just give my PC's AT&T. It's even more frightening when your phone just doesn't work. I'm not understand...

The Beast

Well assuming Century Station was made into an M.D.C. city there would be at least some of the city left. That is a big assumption. Most building codes only cover new construction, and the MDC stuff within the GA tech base was mostly in military hardware. I couldn't find the thread but there was a ...

IIRC, there was a rift along the Amazon that was linked to the plane of water and permanently open so the water there was flowing into the Amazon. Aside from that I don't recall there being any mention of what each plane consists of.

PU2 has a gestalt power category. Should be a good place to start with.

I'd just play it as Archie managed to hide the sleepers via a bit of misdirection. "Oh, section 4? Those tunnels collapsed some time ago. Was just a warehouse of organic food stuffs. Wasn't worth the effort to salvage." This is what I had already done but it just struck me as odd, like th...

That means the spell has an automatic strike roll of 18.

Speaking of melee ranges, did anyone see the video of Psylocke finding her sword while on lockdown?

also, the mechanoids were perverse enough to get a laugh out of the idea that Archie-3 had several thousand people on ice, essentially as paperweights. I don't think that would have flown with the mechanoids. The book made it fairly clear that they could hardly stand the fact Archie kept Hagan arou...
