I add it to skills like seduction, interrogation, public speaking, and other skills where the character is trying to influence a person or people through their looks (PB) or personality (MA). I use either as a offset of penalties or sometimes as a direct add, depending on the situation. The add is a...

I second that.

One of my gaming group asked me to post some questions about Horror Factor. Horror Factor "HF" All sources agree that to pass a HF check you need to roll equal to or better than the HF number with adds. Most sources agree that HF lasts 1 round. There was one source that stated that it need...

I read people swearing by Anti-Arcane, Darkwhip and Shadow Blast, but others dismissing the same talents. So I want to know what is the consensus (if any) about what are the best and worst talents, including but no limited to combat. By best I mean the most bang for your P.P.E. buck, the best effec...

Could a baby-dragon clip their claws pop their teeth to sell to a necromancer or someone for money? Shoot, a dragon juicer would pay for a baby-dragon's blood. Yes. Generally we always said that dragons were loathe to do this, though. Body parts tend to be used in magic rituals and such, in ways de...

Does throwing two knives or shurikens at once require paired weapons? Where did W.P. Small Thrown go? Targeting talks about adding to W.P.s but there isn't one that covers shurikens, throwing dart/spikes or other small weapons designed for being thrown only. Per the Skill "WP Targeting" i...

I've also noted a reluctance in some older games (and older gamers, of whom Kevin can be considered) to have good tactical healing... i.e. "Healing that will happen quickly and maintain someone during a fight." Healing spells tend to be relatively limited in power, and Palladium really li...

Some of it, I think, comes from inflation of available HP and SDC. When your base HP are 3d6+1d6/level, 2d6 per casting, or 1d8 per touch, isn't that bad, especially if you anticipate a cap of of about 12d6 HP (3d6 for PE, plus 9 levels). But, once you get past PFRPG Revised , you get personal SDC,...

Why does Kevin hate players being able to heal during an adventure? Why do healing spells and psionics do such a piddling amount of SDC/MDC and hit point for the cost?

Can anyone tell me why the HU2 Ancient Master doesn't get a better crit chance by level. They start with a crit of 20 and it never gets better. Almost every other hand to hand at 6th level get a crit on a 18-20.

Thank you everyone.

Several questions have come up with my gaming group about the power Dispersal from PU3/9 1) can a person pass through locked doors and solid walls with this power? 2) is a person vulnerable to gasses when dispersed like a person with Intangiblity? 3) can powers that sense ghost and spirits also dete...

Wingspan is always tip to tip. However, with the HU super ability...the listed wingspan seams just a tad (quite a bit) to short. That is why at one point I rewrote the power to better address the wingspan issue. The heavier a character is, the bigger a wingspan they need to get off the ground. That...

With the various winged flights they talk about wingspan. How is wingspan defined in Pallidum? Is it centerline to wing tip or is it wing tip to wing tip?

I'm new to playing rifts and currently making my first character. Been playing HU for years now. I am not able to find anything on Called shots for Melee combat.

Hey folks. I'm in the process of making an Undead Slayer character and I've hit a snag. I'd like to have a waghalter from Land of the Damned book 1 as a monster tattoo.

OK, maybe it's just me, and I know the Heroes Unlimited setting is made to cater to a range of characters from "puny human" to "superman", but... do doors seem ridiculously OP to anyone else? Imagine you're a human police officer, standing in front of a regular wooden bathroom d...

I have some quick questions about vehicle/machine form parameters.

1) what is the largest vehicle can they turn into?

2) do you use the empty weight for their mass?

3) how do you figure the vehicles carry capacity?

4) is there a limit on the kinds of machines they can turn into?

Does the OP want ship stats or deck plans?

Preferably tech-based, but TW-oriented could work too. More on the Good/Neutral spectrum of alignment, but not strictly required either. Truth be told tech-based is not even essential, having human-level intelligence is good enough for having a flexible definition of "advanced" societies ...

There might be some old Traveler ship deck plans out there.

The RBoM says it works on plasma energy blasts, like those produced by CS plasma rifles, NE PC weapons and wilk's PC smallarms. The effects from a Plasma Warhead.....yes. It is a super NAPALM which means it is burning stuff. So it is Fire. P.S.: It would be better if you give the location of the sp...

My gaming group came up with a tough nut

Does the 7th level Fire Warlock spell 'Fire Sponge' work on plasma rounds? Would the plasma bolt from a NE plasma cartridge round be absorbed? Would the blast effect of a plasma missile?

I’d like to have a character with the power to create a costume from thin air. The way Thor, Wonder Woman, or Firestar can instantly appear in costume. What are my options, other than having an armored appearance from Bio-Armor or similar? Take a look at Powers Unlimited 1 page 33, Instant Wardrobe.

The group I game with is made up of ex-military, history buffs, and firearms aficionados so we get specific and detailed. We set up a table with ranges of calibers and their damage to make it simpler, but we keep track of ammo and other expendables. Tactical reload is your friend.

Does anyone know what XP table they are supposed to use? I use the Phase Mystic table, but the book doesn't say.
