The western age centered around the Civil War era and so it would be appropriate. The railroads were a big issue as well, as was mining. Maybe a story surrounding the mining of gold and the discovery of an infernal gateway? Pretty good. But make it a Uranium mine out in New Mexico or Arizona with N...

You should set it shortly after The Civil War. Otherwise it's hard to justify the mobs of confederate zombie soldiers wandering the too quiet places between towns. Now imagine the rebel yell produced by those desicated vocal cords, just before they come charging at you, bayonettes gleaming in the mo...

The dam's gonna break, and wash away the town... But authorities don't have time to evacuate everyone. Can the PC's evacuate the rest of the town's people out in time, or maybe even reinforce the dam and save the town itself? Of course, this ties in best when the PC's discover that the disaster itse...

Well... Psionics tend to be more focused on similar types of abilities. While the powers tend to be less flashy, they also tend to reinforce several overall types of abilities. A) screw with people's heads B) heal people C) sense stuff D) move things around with your mind E) misc super psi stuff Mag...

Watch some old Clint Eastwood westerns. Insert supers. Do some research on the Apache, and then use them as advesaries. The Apaches would ambush opponents by burying themselves in the sand letting the enemy walk among them, and then pop up and slaughter them. They'd "tank up" on water, and...

I think you need some sort of 'borg-thing. Clockwork maybe? Or how about clockwork powered by a steam plant either in it's torso, or a seperate power plant that it needs to hook itself up to once in a while to get wound up?

Well, long story (with accuracy) is that it would take a whole bunch of math. Something about calculating ballistic archs, "launch speed", mass of the flying object, etc. Well, crunching the numbers would just slow down combat (if you even have the skill to calculate it), so I'd recommend ...

They need to fight someone based in a massive flying machine (lighter then air ship, hydrogen filled - don't let your APS: Fire guy near that thing). Gotta have a gypsy sorceror, an Eastern European somethin a rather (werewolf maybe... NO - EUGENIC ala Frankenstein's monster), blood thirsty Aztec Go...

Stattick

Nekira's right. As I said, I'd write him up as a psychic. He won't have ALL the psionics, but he'll have a good share. The Master Psionic from the basebook would cover most of the minor psi powers if the character was high level, and a handful of major powers. If you'd prefer to have a ton of major ...

Stattick

I have a crazy idea. Write him/her up as a psi. Then tack on some super powers if you want to.

I would use the guidelines set down in the Dragons and Gods book. It has the most compleate refernce matirial about PB gods. I didn't think about that. Good call. I have to remember to buy Dragons and Gods one of these days. I would say not to write up the "gods". The magically poor envir...

resin would also be a cool power to give him. Maybe swing line too (as a long sticky line of drool).

PU-2 gave us guidlines for writing up demi-gods and godlings. So, I'm curious what should be the starting out point for full fledged gods? I'll beat you to the punch, yes I have Pantheons of the Megaverse. Yes, I like the book. I think it does a good job for the other settings like Rifts, Palladium ...

The tunnel/sewer/laberynth idea is gold. You just need a good sized... er, BIG area for the final showdown and where all the cultists and such are at. Locate this under the strangely shaped cemetary near the center of town. See, this cult's been around for a looong time. They were the original settl...

On pg 154, HU basebook, it says that Mystically Bestowed characters get +3d6*10 to their SDC when transformed. On page 156, it says 1d6*10+30.

I completely agree with Whiz Kid. However, you can talk to your GM about this. He might rule that maybe the first time you imbued the substance, that it changed you and you became immortal (not just when you're under the effects of the agent). Sure, some would consider this a "cheat", in t...

That is a sweet visual effect...I think I may have to steal that idea. Sorry. The rotting flesh might add in a bio-warfare attack or something similiar and the smell/horror factor!

Well, for your typical Angel or Demon, they'd be able to be injured by mortals, but because of their powers and high SDC/HP, would be unlikely to succumb to their injuries (assuming that you didn't just shoot a sparrow missle up their wazzu).

You can't attack people with the power active.

Although the extra PP is cool, i'm imagining something a little different. I'm thinking Physical Perfection, only more "heroicly" proportioned then a real person, like how most action figures are sculpted. So your character, when transformed, would be either hyper-masculine (sans the body ...
