i have recently posted a race i made in the fan races thread. made some drawing when i created the race back in 2002. took pics and uploaded them to my computer, now i would like to add them to the posts i made.
The Senge RCC Physical Description : The Senge are small humanoid aquatics carnivores, mammals (dolphin-like in origins) with lungs, and webbed feet, brightly colored smooth but tough skin, with minimal body hair. Colors vary greatly are usually hues of blue, gray, green, yellow and white. They hav...
The Senge RCC Culture : Enlightened Imperialists: The Senge wish to expand and grow, and may resort to violence to further their ends. However, they prefer to use diplomacy and economic and cultural dominance to outright violent conquest. They have adopted this approach because even though they wis...
An Introduction The Senge RCC evolved on Tanzram in the Anvil Galaxy. The Senge are, as of present day, inhabiting several planets in the Paladar system in the Anvil Galaxy. Of all the planets inhabited by the Senge 70% or more of each planets surface is covered by water. Cities are built both unde...
Elloes Community, it has been 11 years since my last contribution to this thread (page 11)… so here goes. I created this race back in 2002 and it is presented in the following way: The first post is an intro to the Paladen System and the five planets inhabited by the Senge RCC . The second post is a...
I don't know if this would make AR more relevant or not, but what about using the attack type resistance ratings found in the system agnostic Weapons & Armor series and matching the weapons to damage rating in said series? Or convert the resistance into a damage reduction by type, but then you ...
elloes, thanks for the responses so far. Eliakon Wrote : Another system I have seen used was to simply make armor more or less always work... unless you make a called shot, with the AR the number you must beat to make said called shot. This allows for the logic of "if I am wearing a suit of pl...

Hello all, i have some observations and a few ideas, would love to get input from experienced players and GMs. Our Group has been playing PF for 20 years and i would say that everybody basically knows what they are doing by now, especially when it comes to character creation. What i mean is, if you ...
Howdy, oh i agree as well. Problem was back then, that temple strike added +1d6 damage on a successful temple strike. At the same time the rules of Palladium state, that if you attemp "a called shot" and miss the specific called target, but ur roll is good enough to strike, you still hit t...
Heya, Been a long time since i made this thread. In the meantime, I made some changes to the "stick fighting" (house-rules) of the Warrior Monk OCC. Stick Fighting : The art of fighting with a staff or spear is a form of martial combat. A simple piece of wood, often referred to as the monk...
hehe i completely disagree, this is the perfect forum but the wrong people... but thanks for TRYING acrerake. and u didnt hurt my feelings trust me, but u did help to open my eyes a little.
hey well it is obvious tht i dont get the "purist" line of thought at all, but if you think that way then its not really my business to try and change the way you think. the energy rod i made isnt any less fantasy than a magic sword, just because i used some TW rules from a different Palla...
hiya true, most pople here do not seem to like my energy rod, the problem is (well imo) that they trash the idea, i mean literally ridicule it or otherwise use foul language to empahsise how stupid they it it is. i know palladium books cannot control the way people react, i never said that i expect ...
hi JTwig Wrote: "I guess all I've been trying to say is why limit the game to absolutes. I understand that it might not fit with some people's vision, but to say its not possible or would never happen just seems kind of counter to the whole point of playing a game based on imagination." th...
hey are you trying to turn this into a pissing contest Goliath? because you did exactly what many of the others have done, instead of commenting on the schematic like i respectfully asked, you try to make this into a debate about wether or not you like rifts and about what you think PF is about or s...
i agree with JTwig (i know its probably not a surprise), technology is relative just as everything else, to most humans of the palladium world a heavy crossbow is an engineering masterpiece. in the world i created in the astral plane there is a country that has developed technology far enough to mat...
hehe i enjoyed this discussion, but i think you are right elecgraystone, we will probably never agree in this one , no reason to continue in the same track really. to asajosh: elesgraystone and i actually agree that nightbanes cannot be murdermages, we just have different reasons and arguments, you ...
lol okay u chose to comment on my side note, below i have reposted my main argument that you conveniently avoided. and again, the reference to humans in race restrictions refers to the attrubutes rolled, use the human as a platform - nothing more. again i think you use an argument that there is no b...
hey elecgraystone wrote: "Not so, nightbane just come from the 75% of humans that do not have psionics." again i think you use an argument that there is no bias for whatsoever, you read something into the text that just isnt there. when it states that nightbanes NEVER have psionic powers, ...
and they clearly cannot be human because all humans have 25% chance for having psionic powers, nightbanes never have psionics, therefore they cannot be human...
yes it says "humans only" but that refers to the stats rolled when creating the facade form, nothing more. and the facade does have to look human, i think the word APPEAR human really settles that part of the argument. they appear human but they clearly are not. otherwise they would have w...
i would think that the fact that there exists a talent that makes the character split the two implies that they normally are not. i am sorry but i just dont buy it. i have played a nightbane a few times and "the becoming" natural ability states they appear to be human, after the becoming t...
my point yes, you cannot separate the two forms, facade and morphus arent two different "beings" they are one, a nightbane, if you let people do some of the things suggested above then i think it could end in disaster. as an example i could use a dragon that casts the spell "metamorph...
i completely disagree, a nightbane is a nightbane, not a human. the fact that they appear human and are weak until the approach of the nightlords still does not change their RCC. a nightbane is a creature of magic/ supernatural being whether he or she knows it or not. if the OCC racial restrictions ...
to asajosh: thanks for quoting the book, i knew there was RCC restrictions, but i do not have the book any longer so i could not look it up. as for nightbanes being "human" while in facade form, i couldnt disagree more. it is called FACADE for a reason. the facade, or disguise if you will,...
if my memory serves me correctly, nightbanes cannot become murder marges. unly sdc humanoids can become murermages, and a nightbane is a nightbane, not a human!!!! on rifts earth nightbanes are creatures of magic with MDC bodies!
i posted it here because this was the sdc setting that remeinds the most about the setting where the rod will be used. i dont know what you people are doing, but looking through your posts (kevin & drew) neither of you has even bothered to try to answer my original question, i do not get why, bu...
lol okay, damn i must be doing something wrong. i will try to ask again as straight forward as i can.
when reading the descriptions of each of the spell chains, what do you thing the devices stats should be when we are talking; damage/effect/duration ????????????????????????
okay to kevin: if you know what the prices per carat are in the PF setting then you should be able to figure out the cost yourself. what i am looking for is suggestions as to what the damage/effect/duration/cost should be and not so much wether or not the cost is in credits or gold. the rod was made...
hey again it is not true that only alchemists can make magic items, if a techno wizard d-teleported to the palladium setting he would still be able to create his TW items, he would only be limited by the available technology. this was just an example, try to think outside the box i believe the two s...
Inspiration for this weapon came from various places, but the TK weapons presented in RUE was a great help in developing the bow as well as to get inspiration on which spells to use to make a powerful weapon. Item Description : This weapon is build using the frame of a modern compound bow. The bow s...
hello well if that is what you think then i will take that into account. the lightblade could be identical damagewise etc, but dont forget about the second function of the blade, targeted deflection. the fact that the blade now has this added feature, should it change the duration of the charge? wha...
hello your not getting away with it that easy kittyboy the math isnt wrong, i followed the instructions precisely. the number of carats (gems) used for the primary spell has been increased to lower the PPE construction cost. and you cannot take the Rifts out of PF, you cannot take the PF out of Rift...
Using the rules for creating TW devices presented in RUE i came up with the following idea on how to build a primitive TW item that could be used in one of my campaigns, the idea is that i provide the schematic for the device along with a description of what my intentions are, and then i am hoping s...
hi then i apologize, i didnt mean to offend anyone. feel free to comment on what you think the duration/damgae/effect/cost should be regardless of wether u have the RUE book or not. if you have a book where the spells that are used in the device are described, then you have as good a foundation as a...
hehe u really wanted people to read that one lol... three times i like the RCC, the ninjitsu hth cracked me up a little as did the idea of bunnies sniffing around. but all in all very cool. i also have an update on the Ma´log in the oven as well as a new race (no name yet) that will be rather unique...
hi again thnaks to the two of you who answered my post, i have to say i am disappointed that no one else bothered answering, i mean, if i cannot get feedback here where am i gonna go right?... i guess when u ask people to do a little work before they answer a post, then i better pick a differet topi...
hi again sorry about the double post above Zazshan, pick up ur main rules book and read the section on combat moves. read paired weapons and simultaneous attack and you should realize how a "riposte" move is done with paired weapons. effectively parry with the shield and then attack with t...
hey using a shield to parry is simple, it works exactly the same as any other hth weapon. the character uses whatever PP bonus, hand-to-hand bunuses and WP bonuses he can scrape together and uses those bonuses to parry. example ; rambo has PP: 19 (+2 to strike, parry and dodge), he has boxing (+2 to...

The idea is that i provide the schematic of the modified device along with a description of what my intentions are, and then i am ...

hello KC i agree with you on the point that Rifts has become more and more unbalanced and that "power creep" has been leaking into the game-books since around WB 14 - New West in particular, to some degree even earlier. but rather than being stuck in the past, arguing that everything since...
here are my thoughts i think that the powers of mind bolt and tk acceleration, when compared to other psionic powers in the game, are out of proportion. while it is valid to compare psionic powers to other power categories of the game, like spellcasting or even modern weapons, and then conclude that...
hi i would say the long bowman, either human or elf. long bowmen are lethal in ranged combat, they can turn most villains into porcupines in a melee or two, and they have sniper as well as the precise shot OCC ability which means they can overcome most Armor Ratings easily. i usually select hth expe...
